2015-04-15 Thread Sean Sime
I have put up a small selection of images from the Paulagics trip out of Brooklyn this past weekend. For those of us who only see beady-eyed, dirty looking Lesser Black-backed gulls from land all winter these adult birds in breeding plumage were quite a welcome change!

So-called scavengers only occasionally get the press they deserve as predators. I watched a Fish Crow raiding Rock Pigeon nests, under an overpass along Saw Mill River Road in Yonkers late this morning. The crow would move from nest site to nest site, with adult pigeons flushing in its wake. Even

I haven't been able to get up to Orange County to see the caracara in person yet, but taking a closer look at some of the better photos embedded in eBird checklists does indeed show what looks to be an empty socket where the bird's left eye should be:
