Greetings NY Birders,
I’m working on revising the range map for Ospreys for the Birds of
North America project. I’ve found that checking in to state birding listservs
has been a productive way of gathering information for the project.
Based on information from the state, my working map for NY has a
breeding range from the Adirondacks down to the Finger Lakes, another in the
west in Chautaugua and Cattaraugus Cos., another cluster in Sullivan Co., and
finally just the very lowermost reaches of the Hudson Valley, and, of course,
all of Long Island.
Given how much Ospreys have expanded their range in the past decade, I
thought some of you might be aware of new pairs in the state. I was a little
surprised not to see any records up the Hudson Valley.
Please let me know if you are aware of breeding pairs outside the areas
described above. If you’d like, contact me off the list and I can send you a
copy of my current version of the map.
Many thanks,
Rob Bierregaard
