I witnessed a pair of Red-tailed Hawks mating at EPCAL along the Eastern runway this afternoon - the encounter only lasted a few seconds so I felt quite lucky to capture it with my camera, albeit at a great distance. Images can be viewed here: http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2011/03/mating-red-tailed-hawks.html
Also a light-morph Rough-Legged Hawk and at least Two Northern Harriers were present. And what is, I'm sure, to the disappointment of MANY, *no* *muskrats* were seen. -- - Luke Ormand, Flanders www.birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com www.wildlongisland.blogspot.com -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
