[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach nightjar (Nassau County)

On Saturday, a few people caught a glimpse of a nightjar (apparent Chuck-wills Widow) at Jones Beach West End. In an attempt to hear the Chuck, I headed down there this evening and was greeted by a calling Whip-poor-will. It called for about 15 minutes, then began its hunt, flying once through

[nysbirds-l] New Rochelle Yellow-billed Cuckoo

Not a jaw-dropping sighting but I always enjoy seeing cuckoos. While making a delivery to 13 River Street, a Yellow-billed Cuckoo was flushed by a lawn mower and flew N-S across the road. The only "habitat" here are some small trees and such on the margins of the various companies; it's very urban

Re: [nysbirds-l] Radar

For looking at specific radar stations I like the NCAR site. It is pretty basic, but one can conveniently vary the loop interval to go back to sunset and get the takeoff and evolution of the densities. Also in single image mode, a click on the screen changes it to velocity mode useful to see
