[nysbirds-l] how to report species to Westchester CBC compiler/ Eastern Bluebird/Hermit Thrush
Hi, I wasn't expecting to particpate in a feeder count today, and did not contact the Westchester compiler. Due to the weather, I am unexpectedly home, and thus decided to take a hike through Grierson and Yarrow Preserve near Katonah. I'd like to report 2 eastern bluebirds on Mt. Holly Road and 1 hermit thrush in my yard in addition to standard fare. I searched http://www.hras.org/bwcbc.html, but could not find a means of contacting the compiler, who is probably out in the field anyway. I completely understand if these sightings cannot be included, but I thought I should report them anyway, since they are a little unusual according to the records. Thanks.

[nysbirds-l] Black-headed Gulls, Brooklyn
As an addendum to Seth Ausable's report, Lila Fried and I spotted both the adult and immature Black-headed Gulls on the Veterans Memorial Pier this morning at 8:45 am. They were sitting within a few feet of each other at the far end of the pier. We also searched unsuccessfully for the King Eider at Fort Tilden, but we did find a single Harlequin Duck near the jetties.

[nysbirds-l] Black-headed Gull, Razorbills, plus
A few hours of birding before the snow this morning yielded the previously reported immature Black-Headed Gull on the Veterans Memorial Pier at the foot of Bay Ridge Av., near Owls Head Park in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Among the 250 or so Ring-Billed Gulls on the pier were seven oiled Ring-bills and one oiled Bonaparte's Gull. A search for the immature male King Eider at Ft. Tilden and Riis Park, Queens, was unsuccessful. But there were 3 Razorbills on the water at Ft. Tilden. Two Common Ravens flew by the intersection of Union Turnpike and Austin St, Forest Hills, Queens around 7 a.m.. This is 0.7 miles from the nest site.

[nysbirds-l] Sullivan County
Arlene Borko and I birded the county in the morning on Christmas Day. We had continued good luck with a number of birds. On Hanofee Road in Neversink, the Common Redpoll* flock had grown to over 80 birds, and one flyover flock was seen at the Rondout Reservoir. A dark-phase Rough-legged Hawk was present on Radio Tower Road in Delaware Township. Evening Grosbeaks* were seen at several spots totaling about 40 birds. Common Ravens were seen in a couple of locations and Bald Eagles were easily found as well. Both Common and Hooded Mergansers were on the Rondout Reservoir. ** please note that both Common Redpolls and Evening Grosbeaks are being seen at Sue Rayono's Home on the corner of Smith and Cooley Mt. Roads on the Liberty/Neversink town lines. Sue is very happy to have birders come to her home and see the birds. The list in the window has not been updated, but birds are being seen daily. As far as I know, with a little patience, no one has missed the Grosbeaks there. It is unfortunate, but birders are NOT WELCOME at the home on Blue Hill Road. Please respect their wishes. It is their home and they have their reasons.
