[nysbirds-l] Northern Shrike at Floyd Bennett Field

2012-03-03 Thread Martin Carney
My directions to the Northern Shrike were not clear enough yesterday because 
you have to cross 2 runways.  I saw the bird on the eastern side of the main 
north-south runway, approximately 300 yards south of the Model Plane stand.  
The bird was on top of a tall tree in the brushy area, maybe 30 yards off the 
runway.  It was there for about 10 seconds before it swooped down, and I lost 
it.

Happy birding,
Martin Carney
