[nysbirds-l] Shoreham (Suffolk Co) Iceland Gull

At Sills Gully in Shoreham (Suffolk County) I found a single immature Iceland Gull at 1pm today - this is the same location as the bird I saw 28 March and 31 March, and it looks like the same bird as far as I can tell. Three new year birds at the Rocky Point DEC property bring my "walk year"

[nysbirds-l] Awesome waterbird movement this AM on Lake Ontario

Jessie and I spent the morning birding at Edgemere Drive near Braddock Bay (Monroe County) and enjoyed what was easily one of the best mornings of migration watching that we have experienced in spring. We had over 10,000 Long-tailed Ducks and 2200 Horned Grebes (and would have had more if we could

[nysbirds-l] Inwood Hill Park, Manhattan - Apr 11

Went for a walk through Inwood Hill Park this morning. Weather was gray, but finally pleasant temperatures. Definitely the birdiest it has been so far this spring. Found 42 species and probably could have found a couple more if I had been able to stay out longer. Highlights included:
