New Paltz, NY 9 Mar Joe Giunta, Pat Jones and I (Sy Schiff) went to New Paltz this morning. We easily found the tree, but no hawk was to be seen. We continued east and located a RED-SHOULDER HAWK in a tree on the north side; returning west we found a very, very pale RED-TAIL HAWK perched on on a high voltage transmission line structure to the west of the target tree, also on the north side. Based on earlier posts today, I would think we found the bird and it ain't what we hoped it would be.
Returning home, we stopped by the Yellow-headed Blackbird site.The bird was last reported there on Saturday 6 Mar..
