[nysbirds-l] Sub-adult Bald Eagle over C.P.

A sub-adult Bald Eagle flew over the North End of Central Park at about 12:35 today. This was a ragged looking individual with a mostly white tail and head, though quite a few brown feathers remained on both. I first spotted it over the Reservoir as it traveled due north right down the center

[nysbirds-l] Red Phalarope

I just left Dune Road Hampton Bays, Long Island about 1/4 mile East of Road " L" bay side, good looks at the bird for over a half hour 1:15 to 1:45 PM came as close as 30 yards to Dune Road in the bay side, feeds close to the shore. Good luck! Andy Murphy -- NYSbirds-L List Info:

RE: [nysbirds-l] Hooded W. at Oakland Lake and other stuff

And now for a reply that actually speaks to the subject line - the HOODED WARBLER is still at Oakland Lake, left of (or south) of the Springfield Blvd. staircase. It's usually back toward the hillside, but did come close enough to the trail to be photographed on one occasion today. Steve

Re: [nysbirds-l] Red-necked Phalarope - Dune Rd., Hampton Bays (Suffolk)

Dave Means and I just had the Red-necked Phalarope bayside, opposite Road L as previously described in previous posts. Striking little bird. Good luck if you go. Aaron Virgin Westhampton, NY On Apr 21, 2013, at 2:42 PM, Angus Wilson wrote: > Correction: some confusion about roads off Dune

RE: [nysbirds-l] Hooded W. at Oakland Lake and other stuff

As Steve notes, spring 1996 was something to behold and to remember! That year there were no fewer than three instances of the kind he describes--30 April, 11 May, and 19 May--all foggy dawns after favorable nights for movement to our southwest. Some springs lack even one such event, and I've

RE: [nysbirds-l] Hooded W. at Oakland Lake and other stuff

It's true of any land bird migrating through Long Island that you're going to see the westward movement. Most birds are attempting to head northeastward in spring and land birds, well, they have land to fly over once on the island. So the migration is going to be on a broad front and not very

In my experience, visible spring migration of Barn Swallows along the central ocean coast of Long Island (Jones Inlet to Shinnecock Inlet) is almost invariably from east to west (the only exceptions seem to involve rare occasions when very small numbers of birds are observed bucking easterly
