[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn birds

Late yesterday I observed a flock of 13 Eastern Bluebirds along Cypress Avenue in the Green-Wood Cemetery. Three more were seen in two other locations. Sixteen bluebirds is likely the best showing in recent memory. I was also surprised to see quite a few Pine Siskins, especially at a stretc

[nysbirds-l] ditto on Finches

Andrew and all, I have unprecedented Finches in my yard over the past few weeks: 3 female Purple Finches one day (I've never had more than one at a time) and singles on a couple of other days; flocks of Pine Siskins (10 or 11 each) on two different days, one day staying around all day and some int

[nysbirds-l] yard birds

I had a female Purple Finch at the feeders today which was the first at a feeder in years.  Looks like it might be a good winter for finches.  There are already a good number of finches down and some reports of grosbeak and Boreal Chickadee.  My friend in Maine had some Bohemian Waxwings in his

[nysbirds-l] Hempstead Bay 11/10- Golden Eagle

During a Brant survey on the morning of the 10th myself and staff saw a Golden Eagle out over the Hempstead Marsh area just to the West of Broad Channel. It was being harassed by a adult Black Back gull. The bird stayed in the area for about 10mins before we lost it in the sun. Chip Hamilt
