[nysbirds-l] Varied Thrush

Hi all..the Varied Thrush did not show for me today from 11:45AM-12:45PM but, there were as many as three Accipiters present almost the entire time. By all accounts the bird was still around as it had been seen around an hour before unless, of course, it was on the lunch menu. Had crushing view

As you all have either seen or heard there was a Hermit Warbler at Sunken Meadow State Park and the continuing Loggerhead Shrike at Jones Beach State Park. If interested here are a couple of photos of both. http://lloydspitalnikphotos.com/v/recent_work/ Lloyd Lloyd Spitalnik Photography ww

[nysbirds-l] Hermit Warbler @ Sunken Meadow State Park (well into the afternoon)...

Congratulations to Vinny Pelligrino on a terrific find! I was lucky to be one of the early arrivals and enjoyed stellar views of a very cooperative Hermit Warbler late into the afternoon. When I left, around 2:40 p.m. the bird was still being viewed by a few birders. For those of you interested

Re: [nysbirds-l] RFI- Varied Thrush

The Varied Thrush was seen during the morning (9AM-12PM) in the same area where it has been during past days. Around noon, there were several hawks flying or perching next to the bathroom area, where the Varied Thrush has been frequently seen. All the birds that had been feeding in that area (i

The Shrike was seen this morning -- and abandoned by those preferring to see a Hermit Warbler. Funny how good birds are slipping down in the rankings lately. Steve Walter From: Seth Ausubel Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2010 9:15 PM To: NYSBirds-L@cornell.edu Subject: [nysbirds-l] Is the Jo

Re: [nysbirds-l] RFI- Varied Thrush

The Central Park Varied Thrush was intermittently present in the leaf litter close to the east side of the maintenance building (Rambles Shed) . It, and the sparrows using that location, were periodically sent into hiding by a Cooper's Hawk. Jack Meyer - Original Message - From: Je

Around noon (12-1PM) we saw a Yellow-breasted Chat on the parking area next to the Boat House. The bird moved between the parking area next to the East Drive and the grass area between the East Drive and the path near the playground. Yesterday, it was spotted closer to the building area (the res

[nysbirds-l] Hermit Warbler Sunken Meadow State Park - Suffolk County

This morning Vinnie Pellegrino found a Hermit Warbler, probably a young female(?) at Sunken Meadow State Park. Originally he found it along the northwestern edge of the bushes north of the closed parking lot (this is west as you drive over the bridge). When we arrived around 11 AM or so it had m
