[nysbirds-l] Shawangunk NWR birds

Went to Shawangunk Grasslands N.W.R. this afternoon and it was worth the trip.  Almost as soon as we got there around 2 pm or so the fields were a buzz with raptors.  Had at least 6 Short-eared Owls, 1 Rough-legged Hawk, 4+ Red-tailed Hawks, and 7+ Northern Harriers including one adult male.

[nysbirds-l] Common gallinule, Blydenburgh pork rowboat entrance

There is a common gallinule currently being viewed from the rowboat launch at Blydenburgh Park. It is at the south portion of the pond. The bird is swimming against the phragmites and moving in and out so it is not always visible. Patrice Domeischel Setauket -- NYSbirds-L List Info:
