Re: [nysbirds-l] Cave Swallows

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi again,
The photos I posted was for determining the size of the flock, and in the
latter few photos confirming the ID of the birds.

Click through the individual photos to see the large versions. They are
1600 pixels on the long side.

PS. If you want sharp, crisp photos of Cave Swallows, don't bother.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Cave Swallows

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hello all,
I have posted a few full frame images of the flock of Cave Swallows I saw
today. When I looked at the photos I saw that there were one Tree Swallow
mixed in the flock. In one of the images I counted 34 swallows, but when I
pulled my zoom lens back and fired off the "flock shots" there were at
least five swallows outside of the view finder. So in total this flock of
swallows were more like 40 birds large.

None of the photos are sharp, so take it for what they are - ID photos:

[nysbirds-l] Virginia's Warbler in Queens (yes) - 11/20

[Tom Johnson]

NYSbirders,
Melissa Roach and I heard and saw the Virginia's Warbler at Alley Pond Park
(Queens) this morning for about 15 minutes at around 8:30. We followed it
between the "kettle" and the edge of the nutmeg meadow at Alley Pond Park
in Queens. These sightings came just after David Krauss alerted us that
he'd seen the bird pop up in front of him in the kettle (thanks for your
help, David!). We were able to follow and relocate the warbler by listening
for its chip call; even more interestingly, Melissa heard the bird SING
about five times (unfortunately, I missed hearing this as I was searching
elsewhere)! We also had 1 White-winged and 2 Red Crossbills fly over while
we searched the park for the warbler.
I'll add some photos to flickr.com/bonxie88 later on.
Good birding, and thanks for the many helpful updates. This was a rather
tricky bird to track down.
Tom

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park - horned owl

[Jelly_Admn]

After unsuccessfuly seeing the Virginia's Warbler I headed toward the upper 
pond and rest station and saw a male Great Horned Owl  fly in and land on a 
tree over the path to the upper pond by the Grand Central.  He was witnessed by 
myself and Johan who was doing some macro work. 

Owl can be found by the tall trees over the restrooms

[nysbirds-l] Cave Swallows

[Robert A. Proniewych]

The previously reported cave swallows continue at the pond in the cemetery
on Staten Island. They put in a brief appearance around 9:15am. The flock
consisted of 10 birds and contained only cave swallows and they flew around
and drank from the pond. A single tree swallow preceded them and did not
associate with the cave swallows.
