That's correct.
I went Sunday morning for the fork tailed flycatcher and saw 3 juncos.
And I saw about 10 last Thursday in Rockland. Along with hundreds of ruby
crowned and a few Golden crowned.

 Croton Point Park has had a few meadowlarks (up to 6 were seen last
 Saturday), still very good numbers of pipits, and some good sparrows in the
 last week or so (including vesper and clay colored, both photographed).
 (But where are the juncos??)

Re: [nysbirds-l] question Purple Finches

I had my first male Purple today with his harem of 3-4 females. Previously
single females- this was the first flock also.

[nysbirds-l] question Purple Finches

2020-10-20 Thread Larry Trachtenberg 
For the first time in several years, consistent with the Finch "Forecast", I am 
seeing a lot of purple finches in Westchester County, including four at my 
feeders each of the last three days  --  all of those are Females or young male 
types, as are almost all of the purple finches I have seen - just a very, very 
few adult males.  (And I can't make any of the M house finches into purple.)  
This seems to be what I am reading in other posts on e-bird or otherwise in the 
area.  Is it a known pattern that the adult male purple finches don't like it 
downstate or is there a more scientific explanation available (or are others 
not seeing this imbalance)? Thanks

Croton Point Park has had a few meadowlarks (up to 6 were seen last Saturday), 
still very good numbers of pipits, and some good sparrows in the last week or 
so (including vesper and clay colored, both photographed).  (But where are the 
juncos??)

[nysbirds-l] Wild Turkeys in farm field, s/s Middle Rd., Riverhead, 1/4 mile w/o Roanoke Ave.

2020-10-20 Thread robert adamo 
Today,at mid-afternoon, I observed 37 "Toms" (no "Hens")  feeding along the
w/s of a farm field, at the tree line ( probably in case a quick exit
became necessary). This is the largest concentration of this species I have
ever seen on L.I., or anywhere else, for that matter ! A truly amazing
comeback for this species on L.I.

Cheers,
Bob

and are caused by the nymphs feeding on the leaves. Black-capped Chickadees can 
often be seen feeding on these galls.
