[nysbirds-l] Crested Caracara (report) from Washington County -April 26th
A visiting Texas birder reported (with pictures ) a CRESTED CARACARA on April 26th along NYS Rt. 22, about 5-7 miles south of Ticonderoga, Washington County, NY. He is sending a CD with a series of pictures (he states low quality) with the thought of trying to determine if it may be the same individual as the one previously seen in Orange County. His sister lives in the vicinity and will keep an eye out for subsequent sightings. It is very close to the Vermont border, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are people in Vermont watching for that state's first record of Caracara.\ -- Richard Guthrie New Baltimore -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
