[nysbirds-l] Sage Thrasher continues at Ooms Conservation area, Columbia County NY
This continuing rarity was seen well and photographed this morning on the south side of the pond at Ooms conservation area in Columbia county. Several people reported it earlier this morning; I only had about a 20 minute wait before it flew into the buckthorn it has been frequenting. After a while, it flew down to the ground, foraging successfully in the grass about 50 yards left (roughly west) of the aforementioned buckthorn, between the path and the line of brush along the pond. It seemed active and healthy and afforded multiple great views and photo opportunities.Scott Stoner, Loudonville (Albany)Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
