For at least two (2) days there has been an Adult Bald Eagle at the Suffolk County Department of Health Services facility in Yaphank, just south of the LIE (next to the SC Farm for those familiar). The bird can at least fly short distances, however it is allowing close approach and may have an issue with one eye. The NYSDEC and Fish and Wildlife have been advised.
If anyone has any additional information or observations that may be helpful please email me, thanks. - Luke -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
