Today I visited the Western runway at *EPCAL *(Enterprise Park @ Calverton AKA former Grumman Air Field). I saw approximately *15 American Kestrels*feeding/flying/perching as well as a handful of *Grasshopper Sparrows* in the tall grasses. I also observed *1 Turkey Vulture* over the Pitch Pine forest to the east.
Photos of the Kestrels can be seen here: http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2010/10/american-kestrel.html -- - Luke Ormand, Flanders www.WildLongIsland.blogspot.com www.BirdsOfLongIsland.blogspot.com -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
