Re:[nysbirds-l] Re: Fork-tailed Flycatcher
No mention on the Connecticut Birds list (http://www.birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CTBD.html) about "constraints" or "blockades". Interesting if true though, and perhaps for the best. Someone in charge at the park must have caught wind of some improper behavior, or maybe the crowds have just gotten too big. Going up tomorrow myself. It'll be a lifer, so I can certainly live with scope views if necessary. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/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/ --

Re: [nysbirds-l] Fork-tailed Flycatcher
Great Picture! You were lucky of being there yesterday to take decent pictures of this bird since this morning it was extremely difficult to do so and the light was not the best either. Nobody was allowed to approach (less than 125 feet from) the bird. Access to the area was constrained and there were several blockades around the sections of the sanctuary where the flycatcher was perching. Only birders with good scopes were able to get a good mirror image of the bird. If you are interested in bird photography and you want to take a decent picture of the Fork-tailed Flycatcher you may need a pretty long lens (above 500mm) and a 1.7x or 2.0x teleconverter since you will not be able to come close enough to take good shots.

[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow, now Prairie Warbler - Our Yard!
It's the Patagonia picnic table effect where birders looking for one rarity discover another. After seeing the LARK SPARROW once, Dave Wheeler looked out the other window and found a PRAIRIE WARBLER! We were unable to identify the bird so we went outside for a closer look. Even then we were uncertain, though based on the general plumage and constant tail-pumping, I was thinking it had to be a PRAIRIE WARBLER. We lost it but spotted it later, again from inside the house, and confirmed the ID. I was able to shoot a couple of digiscoped photos.This is the second latest record in the Buffalo Region. The latest was at Buckhorn Island State Park (Erie County) from 6-14 December 1998. The LARK SPARROW has been successfully seen by all six visitors so far today. I suspect the Prairie Warbler will be much harder to relocate after today but you never know. Directions We live at 4777 East Lake Road, Burt, NY 14028. However, this is not accurate on Google maps. So, just use this link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=4777+East+Lake+Road,+Wilson,+NY+14172=com. microsoft:en-US=utf8=1=UTF-8==4777+E+Lake+Rd,+Wilson,+NY+1 4172=us=JkvkTIv9KML6lweip9niDg=X=geocode_result=image= 1=0CBQQ8gEwAA This is in the Town of Wilson (Niagara County) about halfway between the northern termini of Rt 425 and Rt 78 (roughly three miles from either). There is a common driveway on the north side of Rt 18 (Lake Road) that leads to several homes, including ours. Look for a hanging sign in front of an area of woods and brush with our number on it (4777), on the west side of the driveway. There is a wooden stockade fence to the east of the driveway. After turning into the common driveway, make the first or second left into our driveway. Please park so that you allow at least one way in and out. Good birding!

[nysbirds-l] unusual cowbird help
I had a female type cowbird at my feeder yesterday that wasn't the typical female brown-headed. I watched it for about 15 minutes at my window feeder and just automatically said brown-headed female and didn't take a photo. Now I wish I had. It occurred to me last night while parusing my birds books that this bird may not have been a female brown-headed. It had a a dull, dark chocolate brown body, dark eye, medium length tail, and medium lengthed pointed bill. The overall look was of a very dark pudgy bird. I didn't notice an obvious ruff but that may have been from the age or posture of it. I've seen bronzed that didn't look like they have a ruff. After looking in my Sibley and other books it looked like the eastern female Bronzed Cowbird. The photo in Jaramillo & Burke of the juvenile looks almost identical to what I saw but the silouette looks more like Sibley's adult eastern female. As far as I can tell there are no plumages that look like the bird I saw in Brown-headed Cowbird. Has anyone seen a female brown-headed that looks like this? Andrew Andrew v. F.
