During a few hours at the park w Charlie Roberto it was fairly active this
morning with migrants. Hit a few "pockets" but likely missed more, 9 warbler
species including Nashville, Pine, magnolia, Parula, and a late Yellow. Heard
at least 2 BB cuckoo but would not make an appearance. Also of not
Larry,
At the Fire Island Hawk Watch we have seen Merlins attack just about
anything in their paths, including Peregrines. We have also seen
Peregrines attack much larger birds - a Canada Goose, on one occasion.
But my fondest memory of Merlin attacks was when one tried for a Kestrel
that was
7 a.m. drinking my coffee on the bench at swimming beach looking at a lone
bobbing spotted sandpiper (still a lot of spots), when I notice another
unidentified shorebird crossing the bay. Two falcons appear out of nowhere
chasing it unsuccessfully. On the way back and over land the smaller one
on the landfill on Saturday morning there was grasshopper sp. (perched and
singing); 4 savannah sp., +/- 23 bobolink males in molt; and by ball field (at
park entrance) willow flycatcher singing continuously
