[nysbirds-l] Townsend's Solitaire today, Feb. 16th
The previously reported Townsend's Solitaire was seen several times today as it fed and roosted in a hedgerow separating two cornfields in the Town of Copake, Columbia County. Even though the fields are actively cultivated, the bird is actually on lands marked as Taconic State Park...The location is on High Valley Road, off Valley View Road, off NY Rt. 22; less than one mile from the Massachusetts State Line and Bash Bish Falls Massachusetts State Park - worth checking out while you're in the area. The solitaire is often quietly roosting between feedings. When it roosts, it is very difficult to find. It's not much easier to find when it's feeding either. The best bet is to watch for it to go from one location to another, as it flies in to hedgerow treetop then drops down to feed. The other day, the ground was snow covered with a very slippery ice coating. Today, there were patches of snow and frozen pockets of water in the furrows, making walking a bit of a challenge. There aren't many residences along that road, and the people are friendly. If you go, just remember to leave enough room on that narrow dirt road for cars and perhaps the occasional delivery truck to get by. Surprisingly, there is a very good deli right at the corner of Valley View Road which was open both times I was there. Sandwiches, hot coffee/chocolate and snacks, anyone? Let 'em know you're there. Good Luck and have fun. -- Richard Guthrie New Baltimore -- 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/ --

Fwd: [nysbirds-l] Pacific Loon JBWE Coast Guard
Location is Jones Beach West End Boat Basin, Nassau County, near the USCG Station. We were scoping the inlet north of the comfort station. The Pacific Loon was feeding actively and traveled a good distance from west to east as we watched. When we left it was even with the M10 exit sign on the Meadowbrook Parkway, far to the northeast.

[nysbirds-l] 10,000+ Black Scoter in Lower NY Bay
Steady stream of birds from the south, seen from Staten Island. Some have touched down about halfway between Hoffman and Swinburne Island. Others are closer to Brooklyn.
