Near W85th St entrance to Central Park by rocks in meadow east of playground.
Often visible from footpath. I saw 2 here this morning but only 1 now. Didn't
post earlier b/c I thought they flew off.

I haven't yet seen a photo of the rattlesnake from this weekend, but I
photographed this one on Lemmon Road on May 15, 2009.

Another thing I forgot to mention on this list is that while several of
us were watching the Wheatear yesterday, it was calling repeatedly

plumage of the Plum Beach Northern Wheatear, I've put up an assortment
of photos of the bird that I took on Monday.

Peter Post and I (Ardith Bondi) drove Jones Beach Ocean Parkway looking
for ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS. We found one dark morph between Gilgo Beach and
Oak Beach, as has been reported a few times, which caught something and
