Today from 9am to 2pm, I was able to get out and bird the Hudson River between Newburgh and Cornwall in Orange County. All the normal stuff until about 12:30. After 12:30, I had the following:
4 - Common Loon in a group 10- Surf Scoter 1- Shearwater Species ( too far out to ID/rain) Painful!!! 2- Peregrine Falcon ( 1 appeared to be eating on the wing-something I did not think was possible for them.) 1- Immature Bald Eagle Several Flocks of Brant flying All birds seen from Cornwall. Also 1 Brant next to Torches Restaurant in Newburgh, first seen yesterday. -- 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/ --
