RE: [nysbirds-l] Mourning Dove nest

[JOHN TURNER]

Hi Andrew: Interesting observation. That is a very early report. I 
wonder if the light in anyway will affect the birds. BTW - I believe 
mourning doves are not passerines but in a different bird order..

think that's also the earliest I've seen a passerine nest.

[nysbirds-l] Good Razorbill Flight at Robert Moses State Park (Suffolk Co.)

[Ken F]

After a poor winter for Razorbills, Sue and I were surprised to discover a 
movement along the south shore while seawtaching at Robert Moses State Park 
(RMSP). In eighty minutes of seawtaching we observed thirty-one Razorbills, 
either seen as flybys in groups of one to four, or sitting on the water in 
small flocks. There was also a fair movement of Long-tailed Ducks and all three 
scoters. Of additional interest was a flock of one hundred fifty-two Cedar 
Waxwings north at RMSP Field 5. 

Cheers,

Ken & Sue

[nysbirds-l] Sub adult bald eagle - forge river - mastic

[leormand]

I just observed an osprey chasing a subadult bald eagle along the forge river 
at the Montauk Highway spillway. The eagle perched on the west side of the 
river and the osprey retreated back to its nest on the south side of the river.
