All, We have been very fortunate to have a male YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD hanging around Boland Pond, in Chenango Forks, NY or on Fallon Road. This bird is now being seen regularly every day and it forages very close to the road. In fact, it was on the guardrail yesterday!!
I uploaded a map to my flickr site which shows the exact location near the road where this bird frequents. https://www.flickr.com/photos/davenicosia/25908702603/in/dateposted-public/ I have had him as close as 10-15 feet away!! The bird has been present since 4/2 so we are not sure how long he is going to stay. He vocalizes occasionally but not as much as the one we had in Endicott, NY a few years back. Anyway, its an awesome opportunity to get a very rare and gorgeous bird up close. Good luck and good bird to all!!!!
