You can tell I’m retired! Parking at the church should not be a problem 
tomorrow!

 

Cheers!

Obviously, with tomorrow being a Sunday, parking at the church may not be a 
good idea during the morning. Play it by ear and be courteous of the 
church-goers.

There have been two SWALLOW-TAILED KITES for over a week near the Village of 
Kendall in Orleans County. A local resident notified Braddock Bay Raptor 
Research, who alerted birders. The birds were best seen today from Rt 272, 
Monroe-Orleans Countyline Rd. There is a church at the southwest corner of 
Kendall Creek Rd and Rt 272 that birders used for parking and viewing the bird 
from the parking lot. The birds were sometimes seen as far as 1.5 miles south 
of this location from the shoulder of Rt 272. The birds were only seen in 
flight as far as I am aware but they sometimes came right over us at the church 
parking lot. 

 

The birds will disappear for several minutes at a time but will show up again 
at variable intervals. Sight lines in the area vary, as did the height of the 
birds during the day, but they were usually just a little over the treetops. 
Quite a spectacular bird for New York, much less two of them!

 

Good birding!

Willie

I’ve created a satellite image of the area where the Eurasian Collared Dove was 
seen today, as well as, the approximate location where Joe Borker said he saw 
it on Friday. Note the areas that I’ve outlined that are now, actually open 
grass fields, not buildings or construction work:

[nysbirds-l] Eurasian Collared Dove - Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn

2020-08-09 Thread peter paul 
Today Rob Jett found a Eurasian Collared Dove at FBF near the
archery range.  The bird has been moving around that general area, and can
be hard to track down, but has been seen multiple times briefly, and was
apparently also seen last week by another observer.

The timing of the arrival of this bird suggests a possible wild vagrant (a
quick eBird check shows recent sightings in Cape May and a few other nearby
locations), though so far there are not any photographs that can be
analyzed for feather wear, etc...  So if anyone encounters this bird and
can take photos or video of it, that media could help determine whether it
represents a vagrant or a release.

Good Birding,
Tripper
