[nysbirds-l] Fwd: NNYBirds: Ivory Gull and Tufted Duck

2010-02-25 Thread Shawn Billerman 
Hi all,

I hadn't seen this posted yet on the NYS listserve, and thought it would be
of interest.

Good luck to those who try for these birds.

I met Tom and Donna Gooley at about 9:15 this morning in Rouses Point. The
gull was still present when I left at about 10:00. I think it will stay
around as long as ice fishermen keep cleaning their fish on the ice and
provide it with a reliable food source..

The duck was still present as of noon today. I saw it from the entrance road
to the Ausable Point Camp Ground, but it would also have been visible from
Rte-9. I prefer the entrance road because it has less trafic.

[nysbirds-l] YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD returns to Chappaqua, NY

2010-02-25 Thread Anne Swaim 
The YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD was seen again today at Pruyn Audubon 
Sanctuary in Chappaqua, NY after a two-week absence.  It arrived around 
2:30 pm in the midst of today's heavy snowfall to feed, as before, with 
a flock of 100+ red-winged blackbirds and cowbirds. 

As a side note, a female wild turkey has also been a regular visitor to 
the same location over the last week or so and was also present there today.


The office/garden entrance of Pruyn Sanctuary is at 275 Millwood Road, 
Chappaqua, NY 10514.


Details and directions, including Google map link, are here:
