HI all, Type 3s are on the move eastward and I suspect some are type 3 for sure. I did just received a Paul Smith's recording that sounded like type 1 or 2, but I have to take a closer look in the studio. As for pair formation with different crossed bills, nothing noting this has ever been

RE: [nysbirds-l] Tufted Duck, Lake Capri, West Islip

Hi all, Having seen a hybrid Tufted x scaup on this very pond, we studied this bird quite closely. My impression was that all features appeared consistent with Tufted Duck, and none seemed indicative of either scaup species. In particular, the bird was distinctly small--no larger larger than

[nysbirds-l] Western Kingbird, Montauk

I was unable to find the King Eider either this morning (from 7:30 to 8:30) or on a return visit to Camp Hero in early afternoon. I counted 43 Razorbills during these periods. No Cave Swallows were evident. The Western Kingbird was conspicuous, near the restaurant, at 8:30 and again at 1:30.
