[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel irruption year
We're having a bumper crop this year. I saw two today, one flying east to west past Coney Island and a second at Plumb Beach. These are my 8th and 9th sightings of the species in Brooklyn for the year, and in normal years I see it maybe once. Two of those sightings involved multiple individuals, five one time and three the other. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm 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://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

Walking east side of landfill now. There seem to be at least 20 kestrels. On every post, as well as on ground, tree branches, kiting. No idea how many on entire landfill. Two harriers too. L.
