With the America White Pelican continuing on the lake at dusk, there was a flock of just under 50 Horned Larks and 1 Lapland Longspur on the field across from Playland Lake (on the right as you drive in towards the Edith Read headquarters). Tom Burke & Gail Benson -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http:/

At 4:15 pm (just now) we pulled into Playland and can see the American White Pelican is sitting on the lake (on close island.). So good chance it will spend the night again. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULE

Forwarded message below with a Christmas Day sighting of the Gyrfalcon. Monty’s Bay Marina (on Lake Champlain, Town of Chazy in Clinton Co.) is just a few miles from the original sighting on Moffitt Road. How exciting for Paul! Joan Collins Editor, New York Birders Long Lake, NY (315)

[nysbirds-l] Rye White Pelican flew off SW direction

2017-12-25 Thread Gail Benson
After a flight at 11 am, the White Pelican took off again at noon headed in a South West direction. We looked along the Rye coast to no avail. We also just checked back at the lake but it had not returned. Tom Burke & Gail Benson -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbir

The White Pelican flew off Playland Lake, circled a few times and returned to the Lake. So more active but still here. Tom Burke & Gail Benson -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBird
