Jess Deitz reported Caracara 4/11 9:30 am 17k Scotts Corners. Montgomery. I 
think that is near the intersection of 17K & 208.

Good Morning,

  Those trying for the Caracara in Orange County today should know that the 
bird did seem to be effected by the presence of the group yesterday.  Although 
the bird was not approached yesterday at any close distance, through it's 
moving about and the pursuit that followed, it was apparent that the bird 
requires a WIDE berth.  My suggestion would be to stay in the area of the farm 
parking lot, that was graciously offered up by the owners, so long as vehicles 
remained on FIRM ground.  Please, respect these farmers, who were very kind to 
all yesterday and please respect the bird.  The lot is on the East side of the 
road.

Good luck to all.  Positive and negative results welcomed.

2015-04-11 Thread Curt McDermott 
Had a report of the bird being seen over the center of Walden, which is just 
east of the location where it was seen yesterday.  I would also suggest 
checking Daisy Ln., which is just north of yesterday's location on River Rd.  
Sighting was at approx. 9:30am today.

Also if I may add, Rt. 17K is a very busy major highway. Please be careful and 
considerate. Don't park, walk, or stand on the road. There's plenty of room on 
the road shoulders. We found the locals to be very friendly and curious. Let's

 Good Morning,
   Those trying for the Caracara in Orange County today should know that 
 the bird did seem to be effected by the presence of the group yesterday.  
 Although the bird was not approached yesterday at any close distance, through 
 it's moving about and the pursuit that followed, it was apparent that the 
 bird requires a WIDE berth.  My suggestion would be to stay in the area of 
 the farm parking lot, that was graciously offered up by the owners, so long 
 as vehicles remained on FIRM ground.  Please, respect these farmers, who were 
 very kind to all yesterday and please respect the bird.  The lot is on the 
 East side of the road.
 Good luck to all.  Positive and negative results welcomed.
 
 Good Birding,
 Curt McDermott

Re: [nysbirds-l] CRESTED CARACARA - Montgomery, NY (Curt McDermott)

2015-04-11 Thread Curt McDermott 
Had a report of the bird being seen over the center of Walden, which is just 
east of the location where it was seen yesterday.  I would also suggest 
checking Daisy Ln., which is just north of yesterday's location on River Rd.  
Sighting was at approx. 9:30am today.
