Yikes sorry that was meant for Andrew not everyone :)
Oops.
Good birding though.

won't, even if
you enter it without the feral/domestic moniker.
The eBird algorithm 'decides' where it's apprpriate from a listing
perspective. At least that was my understanding I might be wrong.

Even the ABA has been misspelling it.

Anyway, if you're in need of BLSK for your NY county list, an early evening
vigil from Chelsea piers would likely be rewarded.
Good skimming.

For what it's worth, if you're still on the fence about seeing this CAEG,
it might be prudent to do it soon. I just made a quick pass through and the
maintenance guys said they were about to start work on the lawn where it's
been feeding. There was heavy machinery involved The egret

There are phone pics on my ebird report from mid Feb when I last passed
through the park.-

Am not on the Richmond county listserv so this may be a known bird but
there is a 1CY Kumliens on the pier pilings just off of the Lighthouse
Museum.
And a very interesting looking HERG...
Good birding,

Cross-posting as it may end up on the other side of the river - a gray
GYRFALCON was seen and well documented late yesterday afternoon over the
Hudson river at Alpine NJ (Stateline Lookout), by Mike Girone.
Eyes skyward!

I find most people reporting to eBird are pretty good about including
context (location etc) in the comments field - not least because when it's
a genuine rarity eBird mandates some kind of commentary. In fact, I'd say
once a rarity has had its initial few ebird reports, further comments tend
to re
Folks,
This afternoon around 3pm I watched two caspian terns (an adult and what
was presumably a HY bird) cruise north up the Hudson River from about
Chelsea until I lost them in the heat haze south of the GW bridge.
A friend of mine also had one this morning fly in off Manhattan Bay and

Hi Gina
The bitterns are typically fairly visible at DeKorte. There are several
fledglings and HY birds still there that have yet to disperse.
WIth a bit of patience it's usually possible to see several. There have
been double digit counts and regularly 4 or 5 visible.
cheers

Quite a few of us looking are looking but not refound yet. There are fairly
strong offshore winds so might be worth keeping an eye peeled in lower
Manhattan or even Governors island if anyone happens to be there.
Dom.

Curious if anyone has updates - either positive or negative?
Last I heard it was seen 9am?
Thanks

Hi folks
I also find this website very useful for wind -

You can change the altitude in various increments all the way up to 10,000m
(good if you wanted to see bar-headed geese movement ;). The data
visualisation is pretty cool, and you can scroll backwards in time which
It's a very interesting find Karen. I'd imagine voice is the biggest clue
(more so than plumage).
As far as I know these two species are not naturally sympatric anywhere,
so singing the 'wrong' song is more likely to be indicative of some form
of hybridity than an example of 'learning'.
It's well
B&H are indeed good - but bear in mind that by giving them your money
you're supporting some pretty horrendous discrimination practices. They're
being sued again by the feds right now:

I noticed some odd reports over the last week too I suspect it might
have to do with the Great Backyard Bird Count - maybe a by-product of
what's otherwise a great way of encouraging people to get into birding.

Hi Phil
If you haven't read it, I'd highly recommend Bernd Heinrich's 'Ravens in
Winter'.
It's one of the most thorough studies on ravens and has a wealth of great
science (and great anecdotes)... - both in terms of wintering strategies,
and his big discoveries on recruitment and social behavior.

Ben's meadowlark continues as of 1020am. Seems pretty attached to the area

quickly.

Interesting that it's the left eye. It could be a factor in explaining why
this bird is so far from home, although perception of magnetic polarity in
most avian species that have been researched is connected to the right eye
(and left brain hemisphere), I believe
