[nysbirds-l] Addition to last post, which I inadvertently "sent"...before it's time !

*con't.* , except for one small, mixed group of birds we crossed paths with, consisting of 3 Pine Warblers (all in full breeding plumage) and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. Not all in our original group (we had started out with 17 & 1/2 people, this # brought about by a grandma pushing a small

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 4/26

(aww, no Ptarmigans even in the northernmost end of Central Park... ;-) ... what a great find - who has offered the original finder a dinner (at least) at the finest local restaurant of choice? You are not too likely to see this "all-white" species irrupt on any regular basis in NY

[nysbirds-l] Fuch's Pond Prothonotary Warbler—YES

The PROTHONOTARY WARBLER at Fuch's Pond Preserve in Northport (Suffolk) put on a really nice show this afternoon, providing "crippling" views. At one point, as I sat on a tree root on the edge of the pond, the bird worked it's way along the shoreline toward me until it was literally within 3

Re:[nysbirds-l] Muttontown Preserve Red-headed Woodpecker

Correction about Muttontown Red-headed Woodpecker: this bird was not a new discovery, it was the same bird that has been around and is still being seen behind the Nature Center. Another birder I bumped into luckily had it so we watched it together for around 15 minutes. Good Birding, Avery Scott

[nysbirds-l] Muttontown Preserve Red-headed Woodpecker

I visited Muttontown Preserve today. I found a RED-HEADED WOODPECKER just behind the Nature center. I watched it for about 15 minutes, working the trees and sometimes flying. It also called a bit. I also made a stop at Tappen Beach. Both OSPREYS were on their nest, and both PEREGRINE FALCONS were

[nysbirds-l] Common Nighthawk, Hauppauge

Just saw a Common Nighthawk over my yard in Hauppauge, in very direct straight flight, heading due east, maybe 100 or 150 feet off the ground. Very early. Not a kestrel/merlin. No sightings north of NC on the ebird map. Glenn Quinn Hauppauge, NY --- This email is free from viruses and malware
