Passing on the current status: Nesting is CONFIRMED based on the observation of them carrying nesting material (sticks) to the suspected nesting location.
The birds were seen this morning, Friday, June 10 after a no-show yesterday. They are in a rather heavily wooded residential neighborhood and tend to disappear behind private houses and out of sight. But they will occasionally fly up above the treetops and would then be visible from public viewing places along the several winding residential roads in the area. The neighbors, thus far, have been welcoming for the most part. But as usual, care, courtesy, and concern should be displayed by all visitors. That should go without saying. But bears a reminder. The most favorable location to watch for these birds is near the intersection of Meridian St and Ridge Ln which are off Ushers Road / off Exit 10 of the Adirondack Northway (I-87) in southern Saratoga County (just north of Albany). Good luck if you try for them and please keep us posted either through eBird or the Hudson-Mohawk Bird Club website - www...hmbc.net or listserve hmbi...@groups.io -- Richard Guthrie New Baltimore, The Greene County, New York -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
