[nysbirds-l] TNR Veto

Thanks again everyone. That TNR bill was vetoed by the Governor. I note that in his veto message, he cites the conflict with the Agriculture and Markets (prohibits releasing animals into the wild) and the destructive effect feral cats have on wildlife. These are two of the important points many

Hi everyone, Just to be clear, my initial comments took into account the October date and plumage of the bird, comparing it to the expected appearances of Saltmarsh and Acadian Nelson's at similar dates and in similar plumage. It is true that the appearance of these birds changes quite

Sue and I did a large walking loop along the east side of Jones Inlet this morning, coming up with a bird list worthy of a winter’s day. Highlights included Harlequin Duck (a female found by Bob Anderson at the WE2 jetty), Horned Grebe (four on the Pt. Lookout side of the Inlet), Bonaparte’s
