[nysbirds-l] Spotted Towhee - yes

2021-02-13 Thread Tom Preston
Showing well this morning in the area described  by Steve Walter yesterday 

The bird spent five minutes or more feeding under bushes at the N  side of the 
path. Just flew into the scrub on the S side

Thanks to Steve for inspiring me to try again

Re: [nysbirds-l] Spotted Towhee YES 1/3 - Baldwin Harbor Park, Nassau Co

2021-01-03 Thread Brendan Fogarty
Good morning,

It is now raining in Baldwin but the towhee made a brief appearance at
(40.6275069, -73.6066148) around at 8:55 AM, refound by Brent Bomkamp. This
is along the NW side of the lot next to the tennis courts (there's a giant
pile of sand in the lot too). It was only seen for 30 seconds or so.

Shortly after an unseen towhee species was making flight calls a little
ways down the paved path north of the path at (40.6277993, -73.6076156). If
that was indeed the bird, then it may be following the same east-west
vector as yesterday morning.
