Thank you all NY birders who posted the Orange county,
NORTHERN WHEATEAR 10/7/11. And to Rob Stone for
originally finding this great bird! I wanted to get it as a state bird.
I had seen Oil city Road posts before, but I never travel east on
Rte 17 during daylight hours.
I arrived at Oil City
Late this afternoon, Bobby Kurtz re-found the *Say's Phoebe* found earlier
today by Joan Quinlan and later located by Shai Mitra. The bird was seen by
Bobby around the same area described earlier by Shai.
I managed to make it to Robert Moses with some light still available and

This morning, Rob Stone found a NORTHERN WHEATEAR at Wallkill Wildlife

As noted by lloyd and Andrew, Joan Quinlan found a Say's Phoebe at Robert Moses
SP, near the western end of Fire Island, Suffolk County, Long Island.
I had seen Joan there, shortly before she found it, but for various reasons I
didn't learn about it until quite a bit later.

Joan Quinlan found a Say's Phoebe on the beach at Robert Moses near field 2,
but the bird flew off. It was reportedly last seen near the golf clubhouse,
before moving again. Shai Mitra, is out there working on trying to relocate
the bird.
Good and responsible birding!

So, does anyone know what's up with Dickcissel's this year? I've recorded my
loudest one yet this season, this morning, on an absolutely dead night
