[nysbirds-l] Spring Migrants and Summer Tanager(s)

Following up on Shaibal and Tom's reports, I as well as a number of other birders worked Hempstead Lake State Park and West End II at Jones Beach. Highlight of the day was a female type Summer Tanager at West End II in the northwest corner of the parking lot. It was observed for a few minutes

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Yellow-Throated Warbler continues

Hi all, At around 1:30pm, after having met a birder who said he had seen the Yellow-throated Warbler earlier, Brian Padden and my self connected with the Yellow-throated Warbler in the area immediately south of Tavern on the Green. I wish I knew the name of the birder who told us, so I could give

[nysbirds-l] Correction of last post: Make that a probable Thick-billed Murre

Willie just called again with the above. White line on bill, plus shape and length of bill (seen, once the bird was in hand of crew-member and closer) enabled him to reassess ID. Way to go Willie ! Cheers, Bob -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME

[nysbirds-l] OMG a MALE Rose-breasted Grosbeak

At the feeder today. The female had appeared 3 days in a row and now this awesome male. I have made them a couple and hope the pair will nest on the forest parkland that surrounds my property. Diana Teta, Long Ilsland. NY -- NYSbirds-L List Info:

Re:[nysbirds-l] Weather and Birds

There is evidence of some possible drop-in even up at "inland" Central Park in Manhattan, although (so far) not the less-common specials that Shai noted at Canarsie Park in Brooklyn. This weather could potentially produce all sorts of unexpected-for- site birds, perhaps even in small &

[nysbirds-l] Long Island Weather and Birds

After the heavy rain all day yesterday and last night, I was a little surprised to step outside this morning in Bay Shore to a warm, still, foggy morning, with White-throated Sparrows singing. I therefore decided to make a stop on my way to Staten Island at Canarsie Park in Brooklyn, right off
