Re: [nysbirds-l] Possible Ferruginous Hawk Orange co.

[Isaac Weiss]

Thank Adrian for the constant updates.
I just met one of the owners of the properties around here and he asked not
to drive on cedar swamp Rd. He said it is a private road.
Celery is a public Rd.

Thank you all

Re: [nysbirds-l] question Purple Finches

That's correct.
I went Sunday morning for the fork tailed flycatcher and saw 3 juncos.
And I saw about 10 last Thursday in Rockland. Along with hundreds of ruby
crowned and a few Golden crowned.
