[nysbirds-l] "Get the gloves out again" !

Re:[nysbirds-l] Virginia Rail in Central Park (Manhattan)

Just a follow-up on the Virginia Rail: I have seen a discussion on another board suggesting this bird *may* have been released by the Wild Bird Fund. It is too late to confirm either way, but I wanted people to know that there is some question of provenance before they go out of their way to try

Some birding in the State Parks on Long Island this morning was productive in variety if not numbers. Teaming up with Bob Anderson, Phil Uruburu and Arie Gilbert added more eyes and skill to the mix. Jones Beach West End 2 though not productive did turn up a FOS in the form of a beautiful adult
