Monday, 12 April 2010 A male Yellow-headed Blackbird was found early Monday evening at the Mount Loretto (NY D.E.C.) site, near the parking lot off Hylan Boulevard. This is in southern Staten Island, near the southernmost point in the state. The bird was photographed, photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sethbirds and the report from the SINaturaList (yahoo-groups) list-serve is here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SINaturaList/message/1615 For those unfamiliar with the area where it was seen, there is a lot of habitat there within which a blackbird can find cover, and of course throughout Staten Island as well. A nice find and report from the Wollneys!
