Hi Kevin,
It's the largest type 4 irruption in the northeast in at least 25 years,
and it's one of the top three Type 2 irruptions in the same time period. We
often have a few type 2 around in the northeast most years. The numbers
this year are impressive though.

A group of 10 Cornell students (part of a couple classes I teach in spring
and fall) and I had a flock of 17 Brant continuously circling at Stewart
Park this morning. There were also a few Ruddy Ducks, the female Surf
Scoter, a Lesser Scaup, 2 Ring-necked Ducks, Coots and more were seen as
well.
Hi all,
Yeah, I was leading the 2nd leg of my 8-part class called Nourishing
Ourselves Through Nature (I'm doing it as a collab with Baltimore Woods),
and I can echo what Bob McGuire said, it was a very birdy picturesque day
to be out despite only seeing 1 Snow Goose. The day was about a sense of
Nice, there's also been a nice abieticola Red-tail (they superficially
start to look a little like light morph Roughies IMO) around George Rd at
the location I first found the huge flock of Redpolls early last week.

Hi,
Come on Kevin, I have full confidence you can identify all 4 subspecies on
the table or in the field. Mistakes can happen, but all 4 subspecies can be
identified with practice. :)
cheers,
Matt

Hello all,
Just a quick rundown of my highlights. After getting the inspection done on
my car, I did a quick late morning run through Summerhill to Owasco Lake.
...from there I headed to Cayuga Lake.
Summerhill: 75 PINE SISKINS and 1 COMMON REDPOLL at feeders at the house on
Lake Como
Hello,
I think last year's Mississippi Kites were seen by Jessie and Chris over near
the Monkey Run area of Fall Creek?
I think it was a Mississippi Kite, but it was just tooo quick to know for sure.
In the 10 seconds I saw the bird just over treetops over the car, I first went
gull,
