RE:[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Muskrat
While an artificial habitat pool seems an odd spot for a muskrat, they are fairly common around Brooklyn in coastal spots, such as, Gerritsen Creek in Marine Park. I also recently observed one at Hendrix Creek, directly across from the sewage treatment plant. -- 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/ --
[nysbirds-l] Fw: eBird Report - Lasher's Flats, Kiskatom , 3/13/11
The list below includes birds seen in the fields and flooded streams/ponds off of Cauterskill Road, Kiskatom, Town of Catskill, Greene County. I took pix of the geese flocks and the red-wings in order to get a decent estimate of numbers. The blackbird flock was impressive! I was able to get some pix of the male and female Hooded Merganser in the same frame as a drake Bufflehead.

Not a bird posting but possibly of interest to Brooklyn naturalists. This afternoon I observed a muskrat in the artificial habitat pools at the Brooklyn Bridge Park.
