Dear All, Was wondering if it were not much of a hassel, if I could ask you opinion on ID'ing this bird. Its a blackbird, probably a rusty bb. However folks helping me ID this have mentioned Brewer's BB. Can anyone rule out either bird.
THe bird was perched high on a tree next to a flock redwing blackbirds. I wasnt able to get very close to the bird and the following Flikr website links show the best pictures I could get. The location was Alley Pond Environmental Center(APEC) on the trail that runs next to and parrallel to the Cross Island Pkwy. This was about a 5-10 min walk from the entrance of APEC. Also at the saltmarsh at APEC along with Canada Geese was one Snow Goose, two killdeer, 2 redtail hawks, 1 merlin chasing after pigeons. http://www.flickr.com/photos/14667149@N00/8490002817/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/14667149@N00/8491038284/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/14667149@N00/8489938839/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/14667149@N00/8489938669/ Thanks!! -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
