[nysbirds-l] Pine Grosbeaks - Queensbury (Warren County)
On my way to the North Country, I was rewarded with excellent views of 13 Pine Grosbeaks in Queensbury, NY, this afternoon. The birds have been reported in the general area, feeding on the numerous crab apple trees surrounding Queensbury Middle School. There are many crab apple trees about the surrounding area so best to keep a wide search range. Seems like a solid bet if any folks are planning on heading north this week. Plenty of fruits left on the surrounding trees. Queensbury Middle is located along the north side of Aviation Road, just west of exit 19 on 87 North (Northway). Thanks to Joe Giunta, and folks on the Hudson-Mohawk list, for the recon. Some digi-scope shots of the Pine Grosbeaks can be viewed here: http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/39025168@N07/ I am not subscribed to lists in the appropriate regions for these birds, so please feel free to cross post if helpful.
