I'd be interested in the north shore, especially from Northport to Setauket. Birds over LI Sound may have turned around and landed, and thus could be concentrated on the north shore. Just a guess. Benjamin On Sun, May 15, 2016 at 12:11 AM, Jim Osterlund wrote: > Thank

Re: [nysbirds-l] Radar

Just to clarify a bit -- this concentrating of birds at low altitudes and/or birds landing is probably happening across a larger area, but we can only see it over west-central Long Island because that's the only place where the radar is able to sample low altitudes due to its location. Benjamin

Hi Jim, This is really interesting. I believe what is going on here is the following: favorable southerly winds ahead of the front (i.e. ahead of the rain) and light winds just after fontal passage caused birds to take off in large numbers...but unfavorable northwesterly winds are following the

[nysbirds-l] Breeding Common Nighthawk in Yonkers?

Common Nighthawk undoubtedly still breeds in Yonkers, with plenty of old buildings that likely offer the proper substrate for nest sites. When delivering to Saint John's Riverside Hospital on St. Joseph's Avenue on Friday, a construction worker was talking about the roof, so I asked is it gravel?
