All, A LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE was found Friday August 13th on private property in the Binghamton area by Dan Watkins. The bird was refound on Saturday and also today so it has been around for a few days. The bird was actively feeding from the wires and very cooperative. I got some fair digiscoped pictures.
See http://www.flickr.com/photos/davenicosia/4897681843/ Unfortunately, it is private property and they have only given Broome Naturalist Club members access to it. If anyone is interested, I am going back down there Wednesday morning at 9 am. I would be happy bring a group in to see if we can refind it. let me know via email and we can set a place to meet. After Wednesday I will be out of town for a week. Dan Watkins also is available to bring people into the area. His email is ezbird...@aol.com We also found an EASTERN WILLET in the mudflats by the Susquehanna river. This is a first record for Broome County!
