These are almost certainly escapes from local farmers/land owners.  You can buy 
them quite cheap at your local Agway or farm supply store  (and even on-line 
these days).  They typically don't last long as Coyotes tend to get them pretty 
fast.

[nysbirds-l] Bicknell's Thrush & 3-feet of snow on the Adirondack High Peaks

2013-05-29 Thread Joan E. Collins
I have had a number of inquiries by phone and email regarding the heavy,
late snowfall that took place in the Adirondack Mountains over Memorial Day
weekend and its implications for Bicknell's Thrush and other neotropical
migrants that recently returned.  I wrote a blog post with thoughts on this
subject, and on severe weather events and climate change (photo by Aaron
Kellett, Whiteface Mountain Manager) at:

This link, with the photo taken by Aaron Kellett, is also posted to my
Facebook page at:

 

https://www.facebook.com/AdirondackAvian

 

Yesterday, I drove just west of the Adirondacks to the St. Lawrence Valley
grasslands and shrublands, which always feels like you've traveled to the
Midwest, with a completely different suite of bird species from the
mountains!  I enjoyed finding Henslow's Sparrows, Grasshopper Sparrows,
Bobolinks, Eastern Meadowlarks, and more in the grasslands, and Blue-winged
and Golden-winged Warblers in the shrublands among many other species.  As I
drove back into the Adirondacks later in the day, it was such a bizarre
sight to view the snow-capped mountains looking a lot more like typical
February rather than almost June!

 

I'll be up on Whiteface again for a dawn tour in a few days and I'll report
back on the conditions.
