[nysbirds-l] Mississippi kite

Technically I’m in New Jersey, but I just photographed a Mississippi kite at the stateline lookout, between exits 2 and 3 on the palisades parkway north, about 10 miles north of the George Washington bridge. It headed south from here. May have been a young bird molting into adult because it

I am watching as they are filling in the puddles in the parking lot at orchard beach. They got nothing better to do in the city of New York? These puddles are important for local birds to get fresh water. There have been some rarities in these puddles recently too I understand. I don't get it

[nysbirds-l] Hawk migration

After getting very little done up at the hawk watch this spring, the birds finally arrived today. First broadwing of the season came at 930, with a pretty consistent flight til nearly 430. I was up to take pictures, not to count, and I didn't bring binoculars, so I spent very little time

[nysbirds-l] Miss kites

It's been two weeks of irregular visits to sterling forest since I've seen either of the Mississippi kites. Has anyone seen them? If not, any theories about what happened ? Is the female finally in the nest they seemed to be building, and the male out of sight? Or did they just up and leave?

Spent my lunch hour at sterling forest. Both kites present in the general vicinity. At one point the male caught a dragonfly and shared it with the female, which i was able to photograph. Otherwise they spent most of the time perched and preening. If you're on Facebook, check out my Photo page
