I visited EPCAL this later afternoon and saw several Northern Harriers, 1 of which I was able to photograph in flight. Additionally there was a red-tailed hawk perched on what I believe to be a Kestrel nesting box and a Dark-morph Rough-Legged Hawk was briefly seen flying from the grasslands to the woods to the North. Images of the Harrier can be seen here: http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2011/03/northern-harrier-in-flight.html
Additionally, I came across this article in the NY Post which should be of interest to all of you about an injured juvenile Cooper's Hawk that was rescued in the city: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/queens/injured_baby_hawk_saved_in_queens_HEEHcI9jPIzK9ZpZQbOztL -- - 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/[email protected]/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/ --
