[nysbirds-l] Blue Grosbeak Continues at Gilgo

This evening, around 6:30, I observed the continuing Blue Grosbeak at Gilgo Beach. It was foraging for extended periods of time in the same area in which Derek Rogers found it last night - along the fenceline immediately east of the restrooms. The grosbeak was absent for long spans of

RE: [nysbirds-l] Successful Raven Fledge in Bronx

Very cool observations. But, the timing doesn't sound quite right. Richard wrote that he thought the nest was compete around 24 February. If we assume that the clutch was being laid then, an incubation start on 28 Feb is reasonable, and pretty close to the very few New York raven pairs for

I went over to check on the raven's nest discovered by Richard Aracil today at 4PM today and first saw no activity at the nest. I scanned the surrounding areas looking for the birds after standing around craning my neck, watching the enclosure that houses the water tank, for close to an hour.

An UPLAND SANDPIPER was on the Long Meadow ball fields at dawn this morning. It was just after 6:00, and still dim on the field, with the sun not yet over the tree line. I was walking up the middle of the field when the bird flushed (or perhaps it was just coming down) from the direction

RE:[nysbirds-l] Gull-billed Tern at Gilgo Beach, Suffolk

Well, it looks like I quipped too soon Patricia just called from a quick lunch-break visit to Gilgo, reporting that Derek's bright male Blue Grosbeak was now back on task along the fenceline near the bathrooms, but that the Gullible Tern was nowhere in sight. Within a minute, she called
