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...
I neglected to mention that the drake BARROW'S GOLDENEYE was present again this morning off of Ransom Beach in Bayville in a flock of about 20 or so Common...
I think it is a great idea - sometimes I feel like I am the only one my age who likes birds. I go birding with some older people (never under the age of 30),...
There was a Lapland Longspur this morning at around 9:40 AM in the Jones Beach West End 2 Parking Lot, associating with 8-10 Horned Larks. There were also two...
Thanks for the ideas! It would be difficult to hold meetings in a convienent location for everyone. There probably aren't enough young birders to hold regional...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the NYSyoungbirders group: Which Kingbird region of New York do you live in/spend most of your time in?...

Today on the Putnam County Christmas Bird Count, Bob Gochfeld and I found a BARNACLE GOOSE within a flock of 96 Canada Geese at Tilly Foster Farm Conservation...
Yes, I was fortunate enough to begin the new year in Florida on a visit to my grandparent's. There was far less birding than originally planned, but the...
In Cold Spring Harbor today the Eurasian Wigeon was present on St. John's Pond along with numerous Ring- Necked Ducks and about 10 Great Blue Herons. The...
Today I found (along with friends) my life RED-NECKED GREBE, which are getting scare here along the coast (obviously this is the 1st I'm seeing one, but I've...
That's awesome, although it's awfully frustrating that they keep missing photo ops. I've been wanting to go down there to search for a while. That would be an...
It does seem that, if they've seen it so well multiple times, they should have a photo of it now. I think that it's great if the IBWOs still exist, and it's...
Hey Brendan (and others), Sounds like you had a great trip! Phil Choan (another Ohio YB) and I were down in SE Florida from Dec 31 to Jan 9. We birded all over...
