2015-02-21 Thread Matthew Wills
A birthday walk in Croton Point Park before the snow today revealed a dearth of Bald Eagles. We had 9 sightings of eagles, mostly distant. (Only 9! I know, we're getting spoiled.) A male Norther Harrier was bouncing over the hill. A Merlin nicely perched near the Point. A single Red-tailed hawk.

2015-02-21 Thread Paul Guris
For our inaugural trip out of Brooklyn, we have scheduled an experimental trip for Saturday, April 11. This is a time of year with very poor pelagic coverage in our area, but we have chosen the date to coincide with the large northbound migration of gulls, Gannets, loons, waterfowl, and baitfish

Hi Everyone, I stopped at Massapequa Preserve to check out the previously reported possible hybrid Ross/ Snow Goose. I don't see anything indicating a hybrid - looks like a Snow Goose to me - in any event it was very vocal with the Canada Geese - it was at the Pittsburgh Ave Pond and the stream
