[nysbirds-l] Monks at Trinity School and others

While out shopping we stopped by for a short visit to the Monk Parakeet colony at Trinity School on Church St. in New Rochelle.  There are nests in all the light fictures but only had birds in three of them with a  total of about 4 visible.  Also had an American Kestrel and an Osprey on top of

Re: [nysbirds-l] Mississippi Kite, East Hampton

Nice bird Anthony.  That's the 5th kite seen within the last hour in NY, CT, and RI.  Two were just seen in CT, two in RI, and yours.  That's the most in one day I've heard of in our general area. Andrew Andrew v. F. Block Consulting Naturalist 20 Hancock Avenue, Apt. 3 Yonkers, Westchester Co.,

[nysbirds-l] Kites everywhere!

It's interesting the number of Mississippi Kites being reported in the last two days in NY, RI, and CT.  Yesterday two were in CT, two in RI, and one on LI reported all within an hour of each other and then the one now on LI.  Hopefully they are going to be nesting.  It's a good sign that two

[nysbirds-l] turkey on car in scasdale

My friend who lives in Scarsdale just showed me photos of a turkey walking down her driveway and then sitting on the roof of her car!  An unusual site to see when going out to your car in the morning:-) Andrew Andrew v. F. Block Consulting Naturalist 20 Hancock Avenue, Apt. 3 Yonkers,

[nysbirds-l] N. Rough-winged Swallow nest

When I was at the TDBank on Central Ave. in Yonkers yesterday I was surprised to see a N. Rough-winged Swallow flying low around the parking lot and then go in and out of one of the drains on the wall of the back part of the property.  Pretty cool.  Confirmed breeding:-) Andrew Andrew v. F.

[nysbirds-l] Liberty Loop Trail, Wallkill River NWR

I spent the day today at Wallkill River NWR and started early at the Liberty Loop Trail.  I hadn't been there at this time of year in a long time, probably not since I was doing inventories there in the early 2000's.  I was pleased to see how many cool birds were now breeding there that I

Re: [nysbirds-l] Black-bellied Whistling Ducks

Very nice birds to get.  I had two with the redhsank in Brooklyn back in the '90's.  Wish they'd come into Westchester once in a while:-) Andrew Andrew v. F. Block Consulting Naturalist 20 Hancock Avenue, Apt. 3 Yonkers, Westchester Co., New York 10705-4629 

[nysbirds-l] extralimital spoonbill and whistling ducks in NJ

Hi all, Just to let people know I saw 10 Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks and an immature Roseate Spoonbill in NJ this morning.  I wonder if the ducks on LI are strays from this flock since these were only an hour or so away and have been there about a week or so.  The ducks were in Monroe Twp.

[nysbirds-l] Scarsdale flight

While at my friends home in Scarsdale this am I had a small movement of birds going through.  I had a Winter Wren, 3 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, a Fox Sparrow, several White-throated Sparrows, a Red-breasted Nuthatch, some Yellow-rumped Warblers, some Dark-eyed Juncos, a few Tufted Titmice, a couple

[nysbirds-l] Mandarin Duck and siskins

I just had some siskins over my house in Yonkers for a new yard bird.  Also, I was just informed of a Mandarin Duck in a pond on the Winged Foot C.C. in Mamaroneck.  Unfortunately it's not viewable except by members.  I was told it escaped from a guy who lives adjacent to the club and who has
