[nysbirds-l] Ash-Throated Flycather --Montauk

My sister Barbara and I were in Montauk today. We arrived around 11:00 AM. There were 2 birders (Noel and his friend) there who had briefly viewed the Ash-Throated prior to our arrival and stayed for better views. At around 2:30 the bird was sighted again, low in the bushes that run parallel to

[nysbirds-l] Orange-crowned Warbler at Kissena Park

At Kissena Park in Queens, NYC I spotted an Orange-crowned Warbler and a Hermit Thrush along the dirt path between the velodrome and 164th Street. There was a lot of bird activity, 15 species in 30 minutes, centered on some puddles that the birds were using as a waterhole and some sumac trees.

My two cents; a large flock of geese taking flight simultaneously could well be due to disturbance, human or otherwise & it is hunting season Merry Christmas, Mike S Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 25, 2015, at 10:58 AM, David Nicosia wrote: > > That's a good point Ben. Plus why right at sunrise

Looks like some confirmation that the bird "ring" on radar this morning is indeed starlings and late icterids. Thanks Nancy. On Fri, Dec 25, 2015 at 11:23 AM, Nancy Jane Kern wrote: > I have been too busy this week to get my bird reports in, but the > Valatie/Stuyvesant area had a dense

Re: [cayugabirds-l] [nysbirds-l] Interesting Bird?? Take Off on Radar this morning

That's a good point Ben. Plus why right at sunrise for geese?? We see this with swallows a lot which roost in marshes and take off in the morning to feed. Geese roost in the fields? I thought they fed in the fields. Interesting stuff nevertheless. On Fri, Dec 25, 2015 at 10:24 AM, Benjamin Van

Re: [cayugabirds-l] [nysbirds-l] Interesting Bird?? Take Off on Radar this morning

Interesting. I could well be wrong, but I wouldn't typically think of geese departing farm fields as doing so relatively uniformly on a broad circular front. Some groundtruthing might be worthwhile... Benjamin On Fri, Dec 25, 2015 at 10:20 AM David Nicosia wrote: > thanks. I didn't think of

The Clay-colored and Lark Sparrow continue along with the 3 Pine Warblers. As indicated in previous posts these birds are moving with a roving flock of Dark-eyed Juncos so that should be your clue that they might be around if you run into the Junco flock. They are in the same area as reported

Re: [nysbirds-l] Interesting Bird?? Take Off on Radar this morning

That is geese you're seeing. Large numbers of them roost in farm fields there at this time of year, and I have seen the same thing on radar in December before. It's probably mostly Canadas, but sometimes there are also lots of Snow Geese there. John Kent Selkirk, NY > On Dec 25, 2015, at 8:12
