[nysbirds-l] Extralimital: Crested Caracara, Mercer County, NJ

2012-09-09 Thread Donna Schulman 
Several friends suggested I post this NJ sighting to the NY list.  A
Crested Caracara was found yesterday afternoon by Vincent Nichnadowicz in a
farm field in West Windsor, Mercer County, NJ.  I got great views of it
this morning, and when I left it was hunkered down in the middle of the
field (there was a lot of activity at the time, cars leaving the synagogue
across the street).  Yesterday, the bird flew in the mid-afternoon, but was
eventually re-located in the area.  Photographs show no bands on the bird.
 Here is more discussion on provenance on the ABA Rare Birds
Blog.
 Photo on my Flickr site. 

If you scroll down, there is a Google map of the location posted by Paul
Guris. You can also check JerseyBirds
for updated info.  It's a bit of
a trek to get there, but it's a great
bird.

A bit more info on directions on the Caracar, still being seen at 1:40.
The bird is at the Grover Farm across from the Congregation Beth Chaim.
The bird was in the alfalfa field and is currently in the big dead tree on
the farm.  For mapping, you can use the following:
