Other highlights from the Bronx yesterday were COMMON REDPOLLS at Rodman's Neck
near the parking lot. At least 9 in a mixed flock that included American
Goldfinches. Very likely the same flock that Eric Miller, Arie Gilbert, Bob
Hayes and I found last week. Many thanks to Rob Jett who clued m
Yesterday, Kirsten and I surveyed the Hudson River from the Dutchess/Putnam
County line, south into Westchester, to Croton Point and then inland to the
Croton Reservoir. We came up with about 55 eagles, most of which were
concentrated in Peekskill, from the Bear Mountain Overlook, soouth to Chin
12 baited camera traps are operating this winter in New York as part of

At about 8 this morning I found a nice bright Nelson's Sparrow at the edge
of the salt marsh at Cupsogue Beach County Park in Suffolk County. There
was also a single male White-winged Crossbill in the pines west of the
parking lot.
Yesterday closer to home I had a single Rusty Blackbird on the Br
Witnessed an aerial ballet/battle between a red-tailed hawk and common raven
over Green-Wood Cemetery this morning at 10:35. Lasted 5-7 minutes, with the
birds circling around each other and the hawk being the main aggressor,
dive-bombing the raven. They worked their way south with a few vocaliz
I led a winter birding excursion for NYC Audubon to Jones Beach yesterday. I
think the Snowy Owl has been widely-reported enough that I can mention him
without crossing any ethical bounds... and what a treat! It was actually my
first Snowy Owl... I've been chasing this bird all over the Northe
Since the Harlequin Ducks have seldom been at Pt. Lookout this winter, Rich
Kelly and I set out on a systematic quest to find them among the jetties at
Long Beach. We started at Lafayette St. and worked east 2 blocks at a time. We
finally found the 3 Harlequin Ducks at the first jetty east of Ne

Following up on Seth's post, now at dusk there are 5 Harlequins at the jetty,
this is Roosevelt Blvd in Long Beach (Nassau Co). Adult male, 3 fems and a

Cemetery (seen from the westernmost road, toward the south end). In both
cases, with Horned Larks (about 100 at St. Charles) (no geese when I was
there). Some other non-everyday birds at Jones Beach over the weekend:

Oops, my wrong - There is Not a Robert Moses State Park in Niagara Falls.
There's only a Robert Moses Parkway there.
Sorry.

The highlight, albeit brief, of a trip through north-central Suffolk
County was a flyover Ross's Goose in a flock of Canadas in
Northville. My dad and I searched for several hours, but we did not
see the bird again. During our searching, we encountered 3 Snow Goose

1 FOX SPARROW, 1 "IPSWICH" SAVANNAH SPARROW, (both along the north edge of the
