[nysbirds-l] Thank heavens for a reliable end-game !
Once again I had free time to bird this afternoon, and found myself on the North Fork of L.I., heading east on Sound Ave, with thoughts of a Townsend's Solitaire repeat, a Black Vulture and some "good geese", flying around in my head ! After "striking out" on all 3 counts, I needed a boost, so I made tracks for Aquebogue...and wasn't disappointed by Rufous # 1 ! Just prior to getting the hummer, at the intersection of Northville Turnpike & Route 105, Riverhead, I was able to get some nice photos of a perched, juvenile Merlin.

[nysbirds-l] County & State Listing - Send in your 2016 Data
Hey Listers! The NYSOA (New York State Ornithological Association) County and State Listing Project is accepting data for 2016. If you want to get your numbers into the 2016 report, don't miss the March 1 deadline. Data may be submitted online at http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html, via fax, via email, or via USPS. If you're new to this and would like to know more, please read on. The County and State Listing Project is a fun, friendly competition run by NYSOA. Started in 1992, it continues to attract new participants every year. Some of the first ones have not missed a single year since the beginning (watch out, you might get hooked!). The ultimate objective is to encourage birders of all levels to get out and bird the many varied habitats of New York State and report their sightings to local clubs, NYSOA regional editors, and eBird. The competition injects some additional fun into the important "work" of birding and reporting the birds we see all over NYS. So here's how it works. After the close of each calendar year, participants send in their LIFE list totals for all of NYS, the 10 Kingbird regions, and/or the 62 counties, and/or the PELAGIC ZONE (PZ) that was added just last year. In addition, we have one YEAR list category - for the entire state. You can send in just one number or as many as 75, or anywhere in between - it's your choice depending on where you've birded and what records you've kept. A compilation is produced annually and published in NYSOA's newsletter and also on the NYSOA website at http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html. Forms, a map of the ten Kingbird regions, and details on the new Pelagic Zone are available on that web page also. Join in on the fun and see where you stand - statewide, region by region, county by county - in comparison with other birders all over the state (and even outside the state). To see what the annual compilation looks like, check out the archive at http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html. But don't miss the deadline! And remember, no reports submitted in previous years are automatically carried into the next. If you want to be listed, you must submit your report, even if your numbers haven't changed since the last one you sent in. If you've already submitted your 2016 report, thanks! If not, I await your data with bated breath! Carena Pooth NYSOA PS - The fine print: The only requirement to participate is that you be a 2017 member of NYSOA, or one of NYSOA's member clubs, or the NYS Young Birders Club. -- 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/ --
