Re: [nysbirds-l] New Migrants in Babylon NY this AM
There were several birds around Southards Pond Park, Babylon (close to Tim) this morning which appeared to be 'new in'. The most obvious arrivals were Thrushes (56), Robins (36), Golden-crowned Kinglets (23), Goldfinch (19) and Pine Siskin (30). Goldfinches and Siskins were moving west through the trees with a small number of Dark-eyed Junco. Other interest was provided by 2 each of Nashville and Blackpoll Warbler, 1 Common Yellowthroat, 1 Palm Warbler, 3 Blue-headed Vireos and a Fow Sparrow.

RE: [nysbirds-l] New Migrants in Babylon NY this AM
A couple of hours makes a big difference. At noon today the activity in my West Islip yard was much quieter that what Tim observed this morning a mile or two west. All of my siskins from yesterday had departed. I did have, however, a flock of about a dozen YR Warblers fly in while I was there, and they were desperate for water. They mobbed my little garden stream and several of them did virtual belly flops right into the middle of both of my ponds, which are well over a foot deep, where they splashed around for a few seconds before flying off the water. I have never seen this behavior in warblers before Bob Grover -Original Message- From: bounce-69384489-3714...@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-69384489-3714...@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of Timothy Dunn Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 9:31 AM To: nysbirds-l@cornell.edu Subject: [nysbirds-l] New Migrants in Babylon NY this AM I was in my driveway and front yard this morning in the Argyle Park section of Babylon, apparently seeing a large influx of new overnight migrants.
