Galeville Airport/Shawangunk NWR was an incredible sight this evening between
the dramatic sunset and dramatic birds. Observers were David Burg, Adam Welz,
Glenn Proudfoot and Mara Howe (spelling?) and myself. The highlight birds were
4+ SHORT-EARED OWLS, feeding more actively after sunset but
Today Pat Jones searched for but did not see the Champlain Northern Hawk Owl.
However, he found an adult Ivory Gull just east of Rouses Point, on the north
side of the causeway, near the VT end. It was feeding on a fish carcass.
The Northern Shrike continues in Champlain.

Coast Guard Station in the same place as previously reported, between
the restrooms and the gazebo. Barbara Saunders and I only saw two
Lapland Longspurs this morning. The wind has really picked up!
