Had my first nice migrants coming thru today.  A pair of Common Yellowthroats 
and a Swamp Sparrow are here now hopping around.  Also had the first 
White-throated Sparrow of the season with the swamp.  A Hermit Thrush has been 
hanging around too.

[nysbirds-l] Yard birds

2012-05-04 Thread Terence Clarke
For those who can get out in the field today it must be pretty good. 
After the thunder storm and fog this morning my yard had a nice 
selection of birds. 4 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks (3 males), Indigo Bunting 
(male), Blue-headed Vireo, Blue-winged Warblers, Nashville Warbler, 
Yellow Warblers, Magnolia Warbler and a first time for yard Swainson's 
Thrush. All except the Thrush feeding in a blooming Autumn Olive (an 
invasive, but in this case a bird magnet). lots of White-throated 
Sparrows, and a few RWBBs and Boat-tailed Grackles in an around the yard 
too.

Best,
Terry Clarke

Bed-Stuy backyard

- Swainson's Thrush
- Magnolia Warbler
- American Redstart
- Tennessee Warbler
- Blackpoll Warbler
- Black-throated Green Warbler
- adult Traill's-type flycatcher

Incredible!

[nysbirds-l] yard birds

2010-11-12 Thread Andrew Block
I had a female Purple Finch at the feeders today which was the first at a 
feeder 
in years.  Looks like it might be a good winter for finches.  There are 
already a good number of finches down and some reports of grosbeak and Boreal 
Chickadee.  My friend in Maine had some Bohemian Waxwings in his yard recently 
so they're on the move.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

[nysbirds-l] yard birds

2009-10-11 Thread Andrew Block
Had a female Black-throated Blue Warbler and a Winter Wren at the birdbath this 
pm.  Also had a flicker in my southern magnolia eating the fruits.  I had no 
idea they's go after them.  I guess since robins eat them why not flickers.
