[nysbirds-l] Great White Heron, Rye

Since it hasn't received a lot of mention here lately, I thought I would note that the GREAT WHITE HERON found at Marshlands Conservancy at the end of August is still hanging around after not being seen for several weeks. Andrew Farnsworth relocated it on Sunday, and Tom and Gail found it again

It is supposed to be located east of the pond. The preserve is closed to the general public today. The preserve charges an entrance fee of $10. Not sure if that is still in place. As Andrew says, do your research! On Tue, Oct 5, 2021 at 9:18 AM Andrew Baksh wrote: > I don’t have much

I don’t have much details but I wanted to share what I have picked up over the wire. A Varied Thrush was seen this AM at Sands Point Preserve LI. I have no details on parking and precise location. But I gather it was seen East of the pond wherever that may be. I believe the Preserve is closed

Yesterday, I reported that some participants on the pelagic excursion on the Atlantic Princess were skeptical that mechanical problems were the cause of the termination of the cruise. A birder has told me that he heard the crew talking about a problem, concerned about what to do. I apologize
