I visited several sites this morning, from Robert Moses and Captree State Parks to Jones Beach West End. There was a strong fringillid flight, with American Goldfinches greatly outnumbering Pine Siskins (at least 10 to 1), and good numbers of Purple Finches. Other overhead species included at

Steve, not sure if one could say that the northeastern Red-tails are becoming more sedentary with 1,363 having passed the Franklin Mtn hawk watch so far this season. That # is only a little shy of the total # of 1527 for last year. Just my thought. Larry Federman Education Coordinator
