Re: [nysbirds-l] Ross's, Cackling, and White-fronted Geese at Belmont Lake

Glad to hear these geese are still around! As Tim and Doug speculate this is indeed the non-stained Ross’s that was found in Massapequa on 1/9. This bird, along with the two White fronts, have been ranging as far north as the LIE along Pinelawn Avenue. As Shai Mitra mentioned in his post from 1/

[nysbirds-l] Ross's, Cackling, and White-fronted Geese at Belmont Lake

I was on the road when I got Doug's report from Belmont, so I decided to hit the lake first instead of last. I found the Ross's Goose straightaway, gleaming among the Canadas. Doug and I are in agreement that this appears to be the recently-seen "clean" individual without any staining on the sid

[nysbirds-l] Dickcissel & Montauk Gulls

On a wide ranging day of birding yesterday I visited Southard Town Park for the Dickcissel which obliged by sitting on the fencing around the tennis courts. I then headed to Montauk and along the east jetty to Montauk Harbor had both the Glaucous and Iceland gull. Also had remarkably close-up vi

Driving past Hempstead Lake State Park I was graced with the presence of a low-flying adult Bald Eagle passing tight along the road in the other direction. I still can't believe that this is no longer an unheard of sight so close to my home. Cheers! -Tim H -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.
