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...

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...

Hi all! I've just posted a quiz bird on the home page of the NYSyoungbirders group site. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NYSyoungbirders/ I'm going to try to...
It is pretty clear that this bird is a bird of prey of some sort, and it's a small one at that. Either a falcon or an Accipter hawk would fit this bird fairly...
Hi all, The young birders group from my area is going to be doing the Super Bowl of Birding on Plum Island, MA in a week (the 27/28 of January). However, we...
