http://www.hmana.org/steve/Captree.htm for some of my pictures from today.
The Yellow-headed Blackbird is shown on the highway signs over the roadway
on Captree Island. In the wide angle shot, it's surrounded by Starlings and
the surprisingly (to me) small size of the bird is striking.
On one beautiful thermal -at the end of the bird walk: 1 bald eagle, 18 TV,
Merlin, Sharp shinned, 4 Cooper's hawks. Also, pine, yellow rumped, and
magnolia warblers. Warbling and blue headed vireo. Eastern Phoebes, Baltimore
oriole, kinglets, American goldfinch, cardinals, blue jays, brown

Despite arriving roughly an hour after sunrise, I was able to witness a very
entertaining morning flight at Fort Tilden in Queens. I spent almost 2 hours at
the old hawkwatch platform on top of Battery Harris, and was joined for much of
the time by Seth Ausubel and Gene Herskovics.

Sue and I were feeling pretty good about finding a Prothonotary Warbler at the
dump (NW corner of Field 2) at Sunken Meadow State Park until our phone rang
