Pelham Bay Park, 4 January 2012 Joe Giunta, Sam Jannazzo, Debbie Martin and I (Sy Schiff) braved the cold (fortunately no wind) and ventured into the woods. While most birds were scarce, we managed a mix of woodland birds: Red-tailed Hawk, 4 Woodpecker species, Tufted Titmouse, White-breasted Nuthatch and a large number of flying birders, namely Blue Jays, who found us a Long-eared Owl.
In the water were Black Duck, Gadwall, American Wigeon, Bufflehead, Red-breasted Merganser, Canada Geese and a lone Brant. Good birding, Sy -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
