The Sage Thrasher has been seen regularly through today, Nov. 6th. If it disappears for a while, it eventually returns to the buckthorn bush on the south side of the pond at Ooms Conservation area.
There has also been a Merlin seen a few times today. The Merlin was seen carrying some prey item (bird?) at about 3 PM. But, the thrasher has been seen since by Will Yandik (fmr Regional Editor of Kingbird). TRAVEL TIP ---- If you're coming up via the Taconic State Parkway - be sure to stop at Will's farmstand, "Green Acres", on Rt. 82, a very short distance west of the TSP. The fresh homemade apple pie is worth the minor detour. You'll thank me later. -- Richard Guthrie New Baltimore, The Greene County, New York -- 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/ --
