Apologies. It was extremely cold, and I should have provided more detail. The bird appeared in the tall spruce south of Old Fort Road in Wallkill at 2:58 PM. It stayed put for 45 minutes-an hour before flying south, where it disappeared over a hill. > On Feb 13, 2015, at 3:48 PM, Scott Hab

Sorry I forgot to say that no cars are allowed in the cedar marina parking lot. We asked permission from one of the construction workers before entering the parking lot. Sent from my phone On Feb 28, 2013, at 2:38 PM, Bert Harris wrote: > We had excellent looks at the bird from the Cedar Beac

We had excellent looks at the bird from the Cedar Beach Marina parking lot at 2 pm. It was perched on the leftmost of three junipers pretty much straight out from the parking lot, perhaps a half mile away. It hung around for about 15 minutes, was harassed by a harrier, and then flew to the west.
