[nysbirds-l] New York State Young Birders Club Field Trip to Cupsogue Co. Park, Suffolk Co.

Yesterday, Sun.7/18, The Eastern Long Island Audubon Society sponsored the above. ELIAS is one of the NYSYBC Partner Organizations, and I, as it's liaison to the YBC, had a "ball"! The 6 young birders, as well as the 5 adults who accompanied them, were treated to a splendid day, filled with

[nysbirds-l] "Magnolia Morn- Vireo P.M."

John McNeil & I spent the morning in Central Park, and then stopped at Forest Park (just the water hole) on our way home. At C.P. we had a fair number of the commoner warblers, with Magnolia being the most numerous, by far (at least 15). Our bird of the day however, was the singing, seen up

This morning, between 9 & 9:30 AM, I saw the bird (at the same location) found by Shai Mitra yesterday. Shortly afterward Gerta Fritz, and then Andrew Baksh, arrived to get to see it also. Ken Fuestel however, had to work at little harder to achieve the same success. A little before Ken

[nysbirds-l] Ospreys & Horseshoe Crabs

Last night (Monday, April 4), while enroute to ELIAS' monthly members meeting, I motored through the very, heavily trafficked intersection of Rt.24 (Flanders Rd.) & Route 105, Flanders. Once again, a pair of Ospreys have taken up residence in the platform nest situated on the n/w/c/o "42nd St.

[nysbirds-l] Sandhill Cranes- Yes... plus some other nice sightings!

This morning, Dick Belanger and I set out for Sagaponack. Once on territory, our preliminary stop, at the n/end of Sagg Pond, yeilded 3 Ospreys & a Ring-necked Pheasant. Checking all the fields on our way down to the s/end of the pond produced... "nada"! Of note, was the length of the pond's

When it happened, I threw the dice, jumped in the car, and headed down to Shinnicock Inlet... for who knows what! My usual route of the Quogue Bridge to Dune Rd., and then east to Hampton Bays was out of the question today, unless you had one of those "Duck" vehicles, which Dennis Puleston

Thanks to Tom Lambertson, a long-time birder who happens to live very near the above, for letting me know, that while I was right re: the Rt.24/Rt.105 nest, I was wrong about the Peconic River nest. According to Tom, a pair nested there in 2009 and fledged 3 young. I know Tom and certainly

There should only be one (i) between (d & t) in "traditional", and I guess my brain, as well as my "sight", were not "up to speed", when I used "sight" instead of "site". Cheers, Bob -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME

I saw my FOS Osprey yesterday, 3/18, sitting in the platform nest, located on the small island in the Peconic River, just east of the Route 105 bridge that crosses it. Prior to last year, this nest was occupied for many years running, with slow boat traffic its ony hindrance. While it remained

This morning at Shinnicock Inlet I finally had my FOS Purple Sandpiper (2) and met Seth Ausuabel for the first time! 2 Harlequin Ducks (1, possibly 2 drakes) were feeding near the e/jetty, while 14 C.Eider continue in the inlet, as well. Cheers, Bob -- NYSbirds-L List Info:
