I heard there was a substantial flight of migrants last night. Given the low ceiling with off and on drizzle, I wonder if there was a major fallout here and there.
Also - related to one of the unfortunate consequences of these conditions; I wonder if concerned folks might have checked local mortality sites such as tall buildings, light scatter arenas (parking lots, malls), radio/cell towers, etc. for collision casualties. Regrettable as they are, any data derived from those sites could be significant and desired by appropriate repositories. Among other "benefits", documenting these occurrences would bolster arguments for proper siting or denial of similar facilities. For future reference, folks might check with nearby museums, university/college, or licensed rehabilitator to pre-arrange a proper protocol for follow-up. -- Richard Guthrie -- 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/ --
