[nysbirds-l] Red-Tailed Hawk Nest near Park Slope, Prospect Park

2015-12-17 Thread Steven Martin
After viewing the Painted Bunting and Black-headed Gull on Wednesday, I
walked to the west side of the park and up the hill there. On my way down
the west side, I noticed some Blue Jays going berserk on a Red-tailed Hawk
sitting in a tree.

I noticed, upon closer inspection, that the Red-tailed Hawk was building a
nest right next to the trail. Pretty exciting!

HOWEVER, the Red-tail was using FISHING LINE from a (previously) unopened
package to build the nest. I was told that there are people who will remove
things like this from nests to prevent harm to young. Is this true? I
figured this fine group of people would know if there was!

[nysbirds-l] Strange Snow Goose and Hermit Thrush, Stony Brook, Long Island

2012-03-18 Thread Steven Martin
We've had a Snow Goose here at the Stony Brook Mill Pond since last fall.
It appears very tame and tends to hang around with the Canada Geese. If you
want a good photo of a Snow Goose, that's the place to go!

Emma Olsen and I have also had a Hermit Thrush visiting our suet feeder for
the past few weeks which I understand is quite unusual. He recently stopped
appearing due to the major influx of Common Grackles. See the Hermit Thrush
