Hi all, What has everyone been seeing lately? I birded the Tomhannock Reservoir here in Rensselaer County the other day--lots of waterfowl. There has been a...

Hi all, My ABA lifelist is currently at 500, with the milestone bird being a Sabine's Gull this September on Cayuga Lake. A recent trip to Mexico to the NAOC...

This is a message sent on NYSbird about the Selasphorus Hummer at the Lenoir preserve. What species do you think it is? The link is to an excellent picture of...
Sorry something must have gone wrong and the forward didn't come through. Anyway, the photo is here:http://www.hmana.org/steve/hummer.htm. Brent Bomkamp 13 ...
I have no field experience at all with Rufous or Allen's Hummers, but from what I can tell it looks more like a Rufous. That's an awesome picture of it! --Hope...
Yesterday (11/24) while visiting my uncle for the holiday, my cousin took us to the top of a mountain off 209 in Sullivan County. At the top of the mountain,...
I'd have to go with Rufous too. I don't see the diagnostic notch on the tail feathers next to the central tail feathers, but the outer feathers are broader...
Although Purple Sandpipers have been reported around for two weeks, only the other day did I find a flock on the jetty at Jones Beach. There were 12-15, so...
The Western Kingbird continued today in the gardens. It was being viewed for a half hour from the Rock Garden path. From the main entrance, walk straight ahead...
We have lots of Balds where I live (Lake Erie area) This summer we had 5 immatures up above soaring while my family and I were walking along a creek. It was...
Best place to see Golden Eagles during migration in the state is probably Franklin Mountain in early to mid November. At this point you can check out Stissing...
My life longspur was feeding with Horned Larks in the dunes of West End 2 today. Also two Harbor Seals. I can't wait to hear from the pelagic trip that should...
Went out searching for the reported American Golden Plover on Staten Island immediately after school today. After the bus ride and a mile walk to the lawn,...
Hey Can anyone help me with some Willet I.D.? I just posted a picture of a Willet I found in Moriches, Long Island this past August. The bird looked paler...
Mr. David Allen Sibley writes: "Eastern [Willets] are strictly coastal all year, Western breeds inland and migrates ro both coasts, but rare north of New...
Ok, well thanks for the help...I've basically gotten "It can go either way, not really sure" from all the people I've asked. Thats OK I'm not big with...
Just today I saw the new movie, Eragon, and I couldn't help noticing that among the soft chorus of background birds, an Eastern Wood-pewee rang loud and clear...
This reminds me about how ESPN or some other sports station used bird sounds as ambience in the US Open. A birder watching recognized a really rare species( I...
A Trumpeter/Tundra swan has been found by Lloyd Spitalnik in Central Park. He has posted pictures on his website for anyone who would like to help in the I.D....
With that bill with a base shaped like a V in the second-to-last photo, I would say it's a juvenile Trumpeter Swan. It could be a wild bird, although it is a...
It would be interesting to see what bird songs are used most often in movies... I think House Wrens and Wood Thrushes might be used quite a bit, too. Hardly...
Hi all! One of the main reasons I started this group to be a first step in getting a NYS young birders' club started. So…Any ideas you have about this would...
Looking for something bird-related to do this coming summer? Check out Camp Chiricahua in southeastern Arizona http://ventbird.com/tour/546/ It's a bird camp...
Hey, I think some good starting info for these questions would be poll of group members. How many young birders are on this list, ages and locations, and ...
I think I may be on the wait-list for Camp Chiricahua, but I doubt I'll go this year. I ordered the trip list and itinerary from VENT, and it's quite...
By the way, I just discovered that VENT also does a Camp Tejano in south Texas (July 6-18, for $995!). And last year's Camp Chiricahua count was 193 bird...
To echo Nick, I will have probably aged out of the group by the time (if) it would be formed, but had this kind of group been around a few years ago I would...
