Early Sunday afternoon I made a wrong choice, when I opted to stay indoors to watch the undefeated N.Y.Giants (2-0) take on the underdog Washington Redskins, rather than taking to the outdoors on this gorgeous Fall day to do some birding ! I hope I didn't "jinx the G'ints"...whose record now

 Weather conditions were pretty good for passerine migration over the weekend.  I spent almost 4 hours each morning out in the yard to see what would turn up.  Both mornings started out with clear skies and temperatures in the low to mid 40's with light north winds.  BLUE JAYS were the most

[nysbirds-l] Cupsogue County Park

The birding was slow on a rising tide at Cupsogue this afternoon. Not as many Royal Terns as last week, with only 29 seen today, split 16/13 between Cupsogue Flats and Pikes Beach. Shorebirds were sparse unlike last week where many were on the Hurricane Sandy created spit north of the flats.

She's back at her favored perch on Buoy 49. Thanks to all the folks who've been reporting and keeping tabs on the bird during her wanderings around the lake. Good luck if you chase. Cheers! -Tim H -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME

Given the date and rainy weather conditions this morning, I again tried the line-up of Floyd Bennett Field, Riis Park, Fort Tilden and Breezy Point in search of Gulls...specifically Lesser Black-backed Gull. I had done the very same on the 19th but came away with very little for my efforts.
