Hi Everyone, Went around my house a few times for a chance to see what might be around my area (2 blocks from Massapequa Preserve) Were Song and White Throated Sparrows, and a Goldfinch at my feeders...Saw a Carolina Wren and a group of chattering? Common Grackles. I had a feeling I might see hawks today and sure enough saw a Sharp Shinned Hawk "drifting" in the wind towards the preserve.
Later on, I went to the preserve - saw a group of American Wigeons on the ground at the pebbly lot south of the baseball fields. Also saw an Eastern Screech Owl in it's home. Good birding, Rob from Massapequa http://longislandbirding.blogspot.com/ -- 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/[email protected]/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/ --
