I hesitated to report seeing a Tricolored Heron today, but I do have a
picture, although it is not very good,but, by process of elimation, seems to
be this heron. If any one would care to look at my picture and confirm this,
please let me know, and I will E mail it. Thanks!

Hello all,
Thanks for all the private messages; even the dodgy
ones. Sorry about the botched crake
sighting and I am fully aware I’ve never mastered anything in the bird world
now. At home
backyard birds were a doddle. I admire
you folk’s talents and spirit. A friendly
lass suggested I go to W
A very vocal Marsh Wren in the northernmost Freshwater Garden pond on Pier One
at Brooklyn Bridge Park this evening.

*Eastern Wood-Pewee arrived outside our house today. A migrant *Tennessee
Warbler was singing at dawn outside our home.
I had a lovely view of one of the breeding Mourning Warblers on our property
this morning.

At around 9:45 AM I had a male MOURNING WARBLER along the Bridal Path thickets
at Ferncliff Forest in Rhinebeck. Before I even heard it sing it flew into a
bush right alongside the path and stayed at really close range. When it did
sing it was surprisingly quiet so if any of you go there be sure
At about 2:30 PM yesterday, May 21, at exit 63 on the LIE, while
traveling at 60 mph, we had a brief view of a Fregata species, most
likely a Magnificent Frigatebird, based on the historical pattern of
occurrence. While few details could be discerned, the characteristic
silhouette of this bird,
I'm watching (and listening to) a Bicknell's Thrush in Green-Wood Cemetery
right now. It is on a hillside on the South side of the Sylvan Water. The bird
is within a stand of yew trees below several cedars.
Good birding,
Rob
