Maybe of interest to this group: I've been to southern Vermont and western
Mass this winter, and both times found flocks of bohemian waxwings less
than 10 miles from the New York State border. There's also a report of a
bird in a Rensselaer county yard from this afternoon. Might be worth a
targete
Quick credit update - it was Josh who flagged the photos this AM and Andrew
Baksh who'd first spotted the bird :)

Hi all -
In the interest of transparency, there's a possible western meadowlark
being regularly seen at Bush Terminal Piers Park in Kings County, NY. The
bird was first photographed yesterday by Josh Malbin (though a meadowlark
has been seen regularly at the park since December) and flagged by Dou

for more details on eBird.
As a reminder, Green-Wood is an active cemetery,
Yes, We had two mute swans and several great black backed gulls on the way
out :)

I'll note that by the afternoon yesterday. The martin had started exploring
areas further upstream than the Peninsula, as far up as the wellhouse drive

Hi folks,
I paid a visit to see my favorite bird, the red crossbills, over the
weekend, and was able to get some photos and recordings—thanks so much to
everyone who has been reporting on them on the state list! I sent my eBird
list with recordings (as well as Tim Healy's much clearer recordings)
Back to the murre for a moment: is it still being seen? would like to know
