[nysbirds-l] Bohemian waxwings just over the border in MA

2023-03-13 Thread Ryan Mandelbaum
Maybe of interest to this group: I've been to southern Vermont and western Mass this winter, and both times found flocks of bohemian waxwings less than 10 miles from the New York State border. There's also a report of a bird in a Rensselaer county yard from this afternoon. Might be worth a

[nysbirds-l] townsend's warbler - green-wood cemetery, BK

Thought I'd cross post since it doesn't look like it's made it here yet. Cédric Duhalde found a singing male townsend's warbler on Cypress and Grape in Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery. Other birders have seen it since. Look for more details on eBird. As a reminder, Green-Wood is an active

Re: [nysbirds-l] Prospect Park Martin update?

2021-04-05 Thread Ryan Mandelbaum
I'll note that by the afternoon yesterday. The martin had started exploring areas further upstream than the Peninsula, as far up as the wellhouse drive bridge (AKA terrace bridge). If the usual spots aren't bearing fruit it may be worthwhile to expand your search upstream. On Mon, Apr 5, 2021 at

Hi folks, I paid a visit to see my favorite bird, the red crossbills, over the weekend, and was able to get some photos and recordings—thanks so much to everyone who has been reporting on them on the state list! I sent my eBird list with recordings (as well as Tim Healy's much clearer recordings)

Back to the murre for a moment: is it still being seen? would like to know before paying for a cab ride out to see it. it’s definitely nice that there’s a thick-biled murre that’s accessible to those of us without a car :) > On Jan 18, 2019, at 2:53 PM, John Gluth wrote: > > I’m seriously
