[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park 8/27 AM including Lawrence's hybrid
While not exactly hopping, there were clearly more migrants at Alley Pond park today than on my 2 previous jaunts this fall season. I saw 8 species of warbler including Canada, BT green and a remarkable 7 chestnut-sided warblers in various locations within the park. But the highlight was a male Lawrence’s hybrid warbler in a poorly accessible area at the southern end of the Acadaian kettle. Documenting photos are on my ebird list: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S31270784 For those who wish to try, from Vanderbilt motor parkway take the short 3 or 4 step stairway (with the Caution sign at the top) up to the asphalt path that parallels the parkway just north of it. There you can look down into a deep kettle hole with a stand of Aralia at the bottom. The bird (along with a couple of chestnut-sideds) was in this area. Good luck and good birding, Peter -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] wiki NYS eBird Hotspots: Top 10 Locations (Erie, Westchester)
The Top 10 locations (including sublocations) for the counties of Erie and Westchester have been revisited. For Erie the four hotspots that make up 'Unity Island (aka Squaw Island)' have replaced 'Chestnut Ridge Park'. The latter page has changed slightly and is similar to the Top 10 pages except there's no 'Notable Sightings' section, no color codings based on the # of spp. and no total spp. # on the Bar Charts table. This keeps the maintenance of the site to a reasonable level. For Westchester County 'Rye Nature Center' and 'Teatown Lakes Park' have replaced Chestnut Ridge Hawk Watch and Lenoir Preserve. The latter two are now static pages along with 94 other locations in Westchester. If you see any issues with the 'Directions' link, which should point to a parking lot or entrance to the location, or if you know of a webpage that give a good description of the birding site I can add this to the 'Description' section. A few of the Westchester sites already have descriptions and links added to them. http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Erie http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Westchester Enjoy! -- Ben Cacace Manhattan, NYC -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
