[nysbirds-l] Take two and punt !

On Thursday, after spending the night at my daughter's in Rockville Centre, on the way home I tried for both crossbills at both Jones Beach and Hecksher State Parks, without success. I did, however observe 2 notable birds. The first, a Canada Goose, had a neck collar (Y7M3) which I thought to

I birded a few spots in western Suffolk and eastern Nassau from late this morning through mid afternoon, starting at Capri Lake in West Islip. There the highlights were 48 REDHEAD and 2 BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONS. Then it was on to Massapequa Preserve where I spent 2.5 hours covering from the

Re:[nysbirds-l] Ovenbird in AMNH Park

This observation from Manhattan is notable for winter, but in the case of that species is not at all unprecedented, and it is hardly just Bryant Park in midtown Manhattan where Ovenbirds have been seen in other winters, although that location has had its share, being so often checked by

[nysbirds-l] Ovenbird in AMNH Park

Thursday morning, around 10:30am, I spotted an OVENBIRD doing its funny little walk in the park outside of the Weston entrance of the American Museum of Natural History. The bird was associated with some White-throated Sparrows, foraging around the low evergreen bushes to the south of the

A second ICELAND GULL, this time an adult, was at Blydenburgh County Park in Smithtown today.  The ice is almost gone, and gulls were fewer and dispersed.  Today's ICGU was farther north at the armpit of Stump Pond.  I did not relocate yesterday's 3rd winter bird.   Lousy photos of both birds

[nysbirds-l] Barnacle Goose ++, Belmont Lake S.P. (Suffolk)

A nice array of geese were seen on Belmont Lake this morning. I first arrived at 8:00 AM and quickly picked out 2 CACKLING GEESE, both separate from one another. At about 8:10, I watched 2 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE fly in from the west and land in the center of the lake. One of the two
