[nysbirds-l] Northern Waterthrush, Central Park

2012-07-25 Thread Ed Gaillard
There was a Northern Waterthrush near Azalea Pond in Central Park this (7/25) morning about 9:30, in the bushes just north of the pond. My week for waterthrushes, I guess. Regards, Ed Gaillard Manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.Northeas

[nysbirds-l] Coastal Swallow Flight

Patricia Lindsay and I pulled in at Pikes Beach at 9:15 this morning, intending to scan the bar briefly before hitting the Cupsogue flats. Instead, we encountered an excellent variety and fairly heavy volume of migrating swallows, and we shifted into counting mode for the next two hours. Bet
