Late this afternoon, I received a call from Erik Miller about a mystery Oriole like looking bird that was found by Mary Normandia at Gerry Pond Park in Roslyn NY. I got out to the area and took some documentation shots for review. Erik later called and left a message indicating that he had identified the bird as a Troupial (see the Birds of the West Indies) for reference. I think Erik's ID is spot on. Here is a link to a few photos posted on my blog.<http://birdingdude.blogspot.com/2011/11/troupial-shows-up-in-roslyn-ny.html>
