Ann and I also saw a juvenile Glaucous Gull at Stewart Park this

The diner Ann spoke of is the "New York Style Diner" on Brighton Ave.
about one block south of Thurber St. I know Steve Fast would be curious

Gary and I went to Syracuse this A.M. to see the Yellow-throated Warbler,
and after 1.5 hour's, we finally saw it. The bird showed up for a bit,

Birded Stewart Park today around midday for an hour or so. There was a fairly
large raft of
waterfowl right next to the ice edge. Most of these ducks were redheads with
some scaup (probably
lessor), and mallards mixed in. Highlight for me were 2 long-tailed ducks amid
all the redheads/scaup.

Bill; This might be useful information about the bat sighting. It doesn't
look good. Steve

On the Factory St. pond 11 A.M. the only visible feathers
were on the face of our little friend, Screechie, gazing out of
the duck box on the East side of the pond. The larger mill pond had lots of
REDHEADS, a few MALLARDS, and two pairs of
