[nysbirds-l] Orinoco Goose correction

2012-03-21 Thread Andrew Block 
Wanted to correct the id of the geese previously reported by me from a second 
hand report as Orinoco Geese.  Today around 4:15pm I saw them at Harbor Island 
Park in Mamaroneck, but to my surprise they were Egyptian Geese not Orinocos, a 
male and a female.  I got a quick look at them on land before some people 
chased them into the water again, but got nice long looks at them in once in 
the water.  They too came a long way, even farther! :-)  Thanks for the 
monitering all day by Orlando Hidalgo to keep me informed and for Doug Bloom's 
initial report.  Cool birds.

[nysbirds-l] Bohemian Waxwings, Robert Wehle S.P.

2012-03-21 Thread Jay McGowan 
Multiple thousands of BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS were still in the vicinity of
Military Road/Windmill Road/N. Schoolhouse Road near Robert Wehle
State Park, Jefferson County, this morning (21 March 2012). Highest
concentrations were along the entrance road to the state park off Old
Schoolhouse Road and just to the south on Windmill Road. Several
flocks of 500+ were seen at both locations, often with some Cedars
mixed in. A few scattered Bohemian were seen in smaller, mostly Cedar
flocks elsewhere along these roads, and American Robins were present
at most places waxwings were as well. Other birds in the area included
Fox Sparrow, Rusty Blackbird, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Eastern Phoebe,
Purple Finch, Ruffed Grouse, Wild Turkey, Eastern Bluebird,
Golden-crowned Kinglet, Brown Creeper, Red-shouldered Hawk,
Sharp-shinned Hawk, and Cooper's Hawk.
