 Today I spent from about 1:30pm to 4:00pm looking for the Caracara at the golf course, up the road from there where I has perched and across the river at its' ORIGINAL location without finding the bird.  There were other birders also in the area and none were successful today. Not good news for

[nysbirds-l] blue winged teal, FOS barnswallows and chipping sparrows

Beginning to look a lot more spring-like in East Hampton these days. Georgica Cove has a pair of blue winged teal that seem to have arrived this morning, multiple barn swallows and lots of female red-winged blackbirds, joining the tree swallows and male red wings who arrived a few weeks ago.

[nysbirds-l] Tricolored Heron

This is a second hand report that the Tricolored Heron found yesterday at the Oceanside Marine Study preserve in the town of Oceanside was refound by Bob Berlingeri as it flew into the eastside of the preserve by the golf course bulkheads. I had the bird this morning fly out from the westside to

Re: [nysbirds-l] Letter to Riverhead Town Board RE- EPCAL by Luke Orman

Thank you Luke, for sending this well done letter to Riverhead Town Board. I have been bothered about this for some time. When I inquired, of the Riverhead Police Dept., I was told that if I wanted to have permission to go birding in the parks and town open fields all I needed to get was a

Re: [nysbirds-l] Caracara Reports? - Montgomery Co.

[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park, NYC: Chuck-will's-widow continues

Hi all, Before going to work I spent a few minutes looking for The Chuck. It's still here. Today it is roosting on a branch right above the most northern path inside the park. If you stand on that path near the bathrooms in the NE corner, look West and up above the path, you'll find the Chuck.

[nysbirds-l] From The Sound to The Ocean

On Thursday, I spent from ~ 1015 to 1330 getting some good exercise, but not many birds, at the North Fork Preserve, Jamesport. There were at least 3 Turkey Vultures, with the possibility of that # swelling up to 6, unless "Lonesome George" was responsible for #'s 3 to 6. The only other bird of
