Today, at 2:45PM I had an exceptional experience observing an Orange-crowned
Warbler feeding with a Winter Wren on a suet feeder at Quogue Wildlife Refuge
while tying my X-country ski boots on. At 4PM, we (Julia Hryvniak and me)
observed another (saw two on our way to Quogue in Easport)
Dear NY Birders,
This e-mail is mostly for the record since the reports are a week old or
are not chase-able.
It appears that the GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE may have left the vicinity
of Hook Pond (East Hampton, Suffolk Co). At least last weekend, none could
be found there, but a single bird
I have posted a few of Curt McDermott's photos of an adult Slaty-backed Gull at
the Beacon Train Station on the Hudson River. Upon reviewing the many photos
Curt took of the bird I have concluded it is none other than a Slaty-backed
Gull. Congratulations to Curt on a great find. Photos can
Just before 3:30 this afternoon at Bayard Cutting Arboretum (Great River,
Suffolk Co.), while tallying ducks, geese and swans for the NYSOA Waterfowl

This afternoon, Clara Montenegro and I returned to the Beacon Train
Station as has been our ritual for the past week. Earlier in the week we had
an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull along with a first year Iceland. The
following day, we had 2 first year Iceland Gulls and a first year
Jessie and I were very surprised to look out at the feeder today at
Monkey Run in Tompkins County and see what appears to be a
first-winter male Cassiar Junco (Junco hyemalis cismontanus).
While the taxonomy of Cassiar Junco is complex (to say the least) and
further complicated by our very poor

This morning during the first real snowfall for the year I found an Eastern
Phoebe at the Gill in the Ramble area. I'd guess it is the same bird that
we saw hanging around the island on Turtle Pond earlier this winter and
that Phil Jeffrey found by the Castle on New Year's Day.
