[nysbirds-l] Bad News 1= Good News 2

Yesterday, my Verizon cell phone broke. Today, after having it checked at the Riverhead store, I was directed to it's service location in Bridgehampton, about a 40 minute drive east. Once there, in just half that amount of time, the phone was replaced under warranty, and I was on my way. But, w

Thank Shai Mitra & Matt Bayer for pointing out the Cackling Goose at the horse farm, s/s Montauk Highway, Montauk, this AM. Thanks also to Angus Wilson for calling my attention to a Coopers Hawk, at that same spot, in the PM. Sometime in between, I managed 2 C. Eiders on my own, during a "stop &

Sorry for this late post. Yesterday afternoon, somewhere between 3 & 4 PM, I arrived at the eastern parking lots, to find 3/4's of the birding McBrien Family present, and the birds absent. Mom, Barbara, along with son, Michael, and daughter , Megan, were just about leaving to try another spot in

Tonight, Mary Laura & Eric Lamont and I went looking for the 2 Buff-breasted Sandpipers that were seen on Depot La., Cutchouge, Suffolk Co. recently. We missed the buffies, but found a juvenile Bairds Sandpiper in the field on the w/s of Depot La., at the intersection of Route 48 (the 'North Roa

After returning from "up west" (as the older 'east-enders' are prone to say) around 5 PM, I decided to try the Riverhead, Suffolk Co. sod fields for migrating shorebirds. As I checked the w/s field along Route 105, I noticed about 12-15 Kildeers, working the plowed under strip closest the road.

Thanks to Eileen Schwinn I saw my FOS A. Golden Plover today! She called earlier re: the 1 golden she found ( which grew to 3 before I left) in the sod field on the n/s of Northville Tpke, between Route 105 & Doctors Path-this is directly opposite an "old potato barn",which has had the dirt insu

The birder that Dou Gochfeld referred to is Stan Kirsh, a friend for over 30 years, who now lives in North East, Maryland. Stan has been birding for 5-6 years, and of course agreed to meet me at JBWR, when I called with the invite on Wenesday night. We all had a great day today...but Stan's was

Early this morning, I had time for a quick ride out for a short visit, dreaming of results like those experienced by Hugh & Andy later in the day. This mindset was encouraged by the covey of (7) "tame" N. Bobwhite, that were on the road within 100' of the western entrance to the bay-they even st

This afternoon, Allan & Barbara Michelin and I birded the above's bay side. The tide was mostly high during out stay there, which was reflected in the number of birds seen. We did, however, manage to see a Black Tern (found by Barbara ) in close to full alternate plummage, and 10 Royal Terns , 8
