Re: [nysbirds-l] Extralimital Boreal Chickadee in NJ -yes

2019-03-03 Thread John Mora
Hi - the Jersey boreal chickadee still at visitor center feeder today, coming 
in about every thirty minutes for a peanut.  Pine Siskin and red breasted 
nuthatch also at feeder.

At nearby hawk watch platform at the reservoir’s dam, there was one hen 
Barrow’s goldeneye, many common goldeneye, good number of  northern pintails 
and over 1000 snow geese in flight then settling down.

Worth the long drive despite threatening winter storm.
