Re: [nysbirds-l] Pine siskin
Hi, Here in East Chatham, we've had one pine Siskin for 2 days,4/26 and 4/27,feeding with purple finches and juncos beneath a black oil sunflower feeder. Rose breasted grosbeak males showed up 4/26. An interesting overlap.

[nysbirds-l] The New York Botanical Garden
Our resident great horned owl had two owlets this year and was faced raising them as a single mother. Her mate, Junior, and Rose, the Red tailed hawk, both went missing at the same time a few months ago. Perhaps they had a final deadly altercation after numerous confrontations. No one knows for sure. It was odd that they both vanished in early winter. But, I am happy to say, the owlets have fledged and were observed on today's walk. In addition, we have a wood duck who has nested in a tree above the water. Quite a sight seeing wood ducks in a tree hole. A regular nesting site for them - but may be a first - at the Garden. There were 58 birders on my walk today and although we had a large crowd we all were treated to great sightings of: PRAIRIE WARBLER-1 Black & White-2 Pine-10 Palm-3 Yellow rumped-many Blue headed vireo-1 Ruby crowned kinglet-2 White breasted nuthatch-2 Chickadee-1 Belted kingfisher-1 Northern flicker-5 Red bellied woodpecker-3 Downy woodpecker-1 Northern cardinal-4 Blue jay-3 Mockingbird-1 PURPLE FINCH-1 American goldfinch-3 House finch-1 MERLIN-1 Red tailed hawk-2 White throated sparrow-3 Chipping sparrow-3 Swamp sparrow-1 Song sparrow-2 Brown headed cowbird-2 Mallard-3 Canada goose-4 Wood duck-7 Mourning Dove-1 Chimney Swifts-12 Tree swallow-1 Rough winged swallow-2 Barn Swallow-1 Good Birding, Debbie Becker BirdingAroundNYC.com -- 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/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/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/ --

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Inwood Hill Park Yellow-throated Warbler
The Yellow-throated Warbler is still here in Inwood foraging just uphill from where Nadir described. Seems to be making a 20-30min loop of the hillside. So hangout and watch the trees to see him as he's no longer singing.

I found the Red-headed Woodpecker in the grass along the northern end of Bay parkway, about 1/3 of the way between the Field 10 fishing piers and the Meadowbrook turnoff at about 7:45. It flew slightly east along the median, and others saw it in the median actively feeding / flying shortly afterwards. The 2 Gull-billed Terns were not present at the Coast Guard Station around 8, but by 9:30 they were roosting on the sandbar at high tide.

[nysbirds-l] nesting Merlins
After following the noise of the constantly calling MERLINS, I was easily able to find their nest at the top of a White Pine across the street in the neighbors yard. Welcome to the neighborhood!! Looks like it may be a long summer for my feeder birds. Just remember guys..the black birds with the brown heads are VERY delicious!! On the north side of my yard, I witnessed a pair of OSPREY battle for a perch atop a dead snag, at one point locking talons and swinging wildly about together before breaking off. Not sure if this is part of their mating ritual, but I did not see any copulation between these 2 birds. On another note, it seems early to me, but I heard my first YELLOW-THROATED VIREO of the season singing this morning while watching the Osprey.

[nysbirds-l] mating Merlins
I just watched a pair of MERLINS copulate in a tree across the street from my house. Twice. The female is still there at this moment, while the male flew off after the second copulation. There are plenty of large White Pines in my yard and in the patch of woods across the street, so I am hoping that they settle in to nest in this area. This would be a great neighborhood to raise a family.
