Went exploring around the east side of Little Neck Bay on Shore Road
(Douglaston) and of note I found one Common Goldeneye and two Red-throated
Loons.
At Oakland Lake at around 6 PM there were 12 Ring-necked Ducks, a pair was
separate from the rest of the flotilla, I suppose the male was keepi
I spent the day at Jamaica Bay NWR. There was almost no one on the trails.
I only saw two people in nearly five hours. There was incredible bird
activity though. It was one of the most active days I have ever seen it in
sheer numbers of birds. The highlights were three rarities and lifers for

Yesterday, while birding the Pine Island area, I managed to find 4 Snowy Owls,
with a probable fifth.
Goose numbers have increased 10 fold in the past few days and while sifting
through the flock on Onion Ave., I located 6 Greater White fronted Geese, which
I was able to share with Matt Zeitle
I am outraged by this. Crows are one of the most intelligent
creatures we share the Earth with. They have been documented to
fashion and use tools. They are highly social and live in family
groups. My fascination with them led me into birding long ago.
Thank you to those in this group for le
They changed their settings. Last night you could post on it. Which is how I
shared their photo to the HOBAS page as well as my own. For extra measure, I
downloaded it in case they pulled it.

That is really quite an appalling notice, hopefully the crows are smart
enough to stay away. I messaged the rod and gun club on their FB page
since there is no other way to post or comment.

By the way, the Club took down the Crow Down announcements on their FB page. A
few of us had already made comments.
Attached is the announcement for those of you that have not seen it.

For anyone interested, the hybrid goose *(presumably Brant x Cackling)* that
Anya reported, continues at Randall's Island.
I believe the discussion thread was not posted to eBirdsnyc and so I have
included it here for those of you who might be interested.
Cheers!

I have reached out to Audubon NY to see if they are willing to take any action
on this. In addition, if you wish to reach out to the DEC, my contact let me
know that it is the Region 4 office518-357-2355 or 607-652-7367. Feel free
to leave a reasonable, non inflammatory comment on the Rod
Richard is correct, it is time for a change and it will not happen without
action from many fronts. The senseless shooting(competition type events ) of
snowshoe hares needs to stop as well.
Thanks Richard for the alert.

The pond on Cold Spring Road between Middle and Quarry Rds in the Town of

Lopez is the assemblyman. Tonko is the congressman. As a congressional aide we
had calls all the time from state level complaints. For a district I would
start with the congressman and petition for a local contact.
Good luck.

Doesn't seem right, shooting crows, at any time of year.
