[nysbirds-l] Governors Island: Mon. 24-Jul-2017

[Ben Cacace]

*NY County Highlights: *

Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (3), Killdeer (17+), Common Tern (73+), American
Kestrel (2), Fish Crow (13+), White-throated Sparrow and Brown-headed
Cowbird.

On the old gull nesting field, west of Hammock Grove, there were at least
17 Killdeer. They were mainly at the north end of field nearer the zip-line
and maze. None were seen or heard on the rest of the island. A
Black-crowned Night-Heron nest was pointed out to me inside the Urban Farm.
An adult was sitting on a nest no higher than 10 feet in a small tree. The
nest is not visible from outside the fence.

*1st hour*: *16 spp*.; *2nd*: *+8*; *3rd*: *+4*; *4th*: *+3* = *31 spp.*
