[nysbirds-l] Some comments about the Orange County Ferruginous Hawk.
On January 31 I made my sixth trip to the Black Dirt region to look for the Ferruginous Hawk discovered two weeks ago. I'm batting .500, succeeding three times to see the bird, once at a large distance only, once pretty close, and once very close. It looks like the best way to see the bird close is to arrive on the area by around 8:15 and drive slowly up and down Onion or Celery. The bird is often seen perched boldly in a tree right along the road. Today I saw it about here: 41.370102, -74.426911. Later it perched near 119 Celery, about here: 41.364916, -74.423115. The woman there is very friendly to birders. Later it hunted successfully over the fields east of 93 Celery, about here: 41.367525, -74.415704. I've seen it there on other trips. There is a nice Stewart's here: 41.398049, -74.357277. Turning off route 6 at the corner 41.398009, -74.358585 is the obvious way for me to drive to the area.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan, NYC 1/31 - Gr. W.-fr. Goose, W. Tanager, etc.
Manhattan, N.Y. City - Sunday, Jan. 31st - The Greater White-fronted Goose [form: flavirostris], first found back on December 20th at Randall’s Island, and more-recently favoring Central Park, almost always among many Canada Geese, had a slightly alternative site in Central for Sunday, putting in an appearance at the Great Lawn, which is not more than a few goose wing-beats up from the lake in the same park. A Common Loon continues on the C.P. reservoir, & modest numbers of gulls there seemed to consist of just the most-usual 3 spp. for the site. A Western Tanager (female-plumaged) continued at Carl Schurz Park, seen at various times Sunday, and with a fair variety of other species at that location, which is off East End Ave. & with a main entrance at E. 86th St. A single Common Redpoll found on Sat., 1/30 may not have lingered to Sun. at Inwood Hill Park; that finch was admired by a number of observers while it was showing; all at Inwood thanked finder D. Aronov for the 1st sighting. We may be lucky to find some further finches as some species are still moving about in the region, & to the north & south as well. Some additional species showing in Manhattan - plus a few seen from shore but off in the adjacent waters: [Atlantic] Brant Wood Duck Gadwall American Black Duck Mallard Northern Shoveler Bufflehead Common Goldeneye (off Randall’s Island, a part of N.Y. County, although the goldeneyes perhaps in other countys' waters) Hooded Merganser Red-breasted Merganser (on both rivers, & at the N.Y. harbor) Ruddy Duck Red-throated Loon (and, Common Loons are on river & harbor in addition to the 1 at Central Park) Great Cormorant Double-crested Cormorant Great Blue Heron Black-crowned Night-Heron Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (continuing at Randall’s Island, L.H.G. salt-marsh) Bald Eagle Sharp-shinned Hawk Cooper's Hawk Red-shouldered Hawk (presumably same wintering individual around Inwood) Red-tailed Hawk American Coot American Woodcock Ring-billed Gull [American] Herring Gull Great Black-backed Gull ['feral'] Rock Pigeon Mourning Dove American Kestrel Merlin Peregrine Falcon multi-owls Belted Kingfisher (Randall’s Island) Red-bellied Woodpecker Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Yellow-shafted Flicker Blue Jay Common Raven (several locations) American Crow Black-capped Chickadee Tufted Titmouse Red-breasted Nuthatch White-breasted Nuthatch Brown Creeper Carolina Wren Winter Wren Ruby-crowned Kinglet Hermit Thrush American Robin Gray Catbird Northern Mockingbird Brown Thrasher European Starling House Sparrow Cedar Waxwing Eastern Towhee Slate-colored Junco American Tree Sparrow Chipping Sparrow (wintering) [Red] Fox Sparrow Song Sparrow Swamp Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Northern Cardinal Red-winged Blackbird Rusty Blackbird (several) Common Grackle Brown-headed Cowbird House Finch American Goldfinch (of the above species, at least 60 were found in Central Park on Sunday, a fairly good tally for the time of year there.) good birds, and stay safe in the storm, Tom Fiore manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm 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://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
