[nysbirds-l] No thick billed murre

Between 2:30 and 3:00 I did NOT observe the Thick Billed Murre at the Shinnecock Inlet. I was on the east side and could not observe the western side of the western jetty. Many Eider were moving out of the inlet when I arrived. There was a large raft of birds just offshore. Perhaps it moved

Yes, so what happened is a hunter got in his boat, ostensibly just to break up the thin skin of ice that was forming in the cove and spooked the Pelican. Sent from my iPod > On Jan 12, 2019, at 10:30 AM, Anthony Collerton wrote: > > Suffolk Co. > In flight over Rose Hill Road, heading

Pacific Loon was present at 12:40. However, just as we arrived, someone began shooting skeet not 50 feet from where the Loon was diving in the mouth of the inlet. The simultaneous presence of a Pacific Loon and a skeet shooter in Oyster Bay boggled my mind a bit. Sent from my iPod > On Feb

This time in the Long Pond Greenbelt in Sag Harbor. I saw the bird on the west side of the trail exactly where the Old RR Spur connects to the Round Pond trail. Compared to yesterday’s bird, this one was much more mottled yellow. Its head was the only fully red part of its body, its wings
