Yesterday I was able to get to Times Beach and Tifft for a bit, highlights included:
*American Bittern*: *1* at Times Beach initially seen by Josh Ketry a couple days back and *2* at Tifft. I miss this bird some years, I was surprised to have 3 in 1 day! *Cliff Swallow*: *1* a Tifft (Kevin Rybczynski has 2 others at Tifft) I had *5 Yellow-rumped* and 1 Palm Warbler at Tifft (I think several people had reported Palm at Tifft - Sue Barth, the Bertolas and others) *White-throated Sparrows*: *93* at Tifft - I think this was the tip of the iceberg. Moving by the dozens between the footbridge and Old Tifft St. I don't recall ever seeing numbers like this. Still lingering at Tifft were *5 Common Loons* and *9 Horned Grebes*. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm 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://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
