Hey all, So I'm trying to get the ball rolling on having a YB club in NY. Any of your comments/ideas about this would be much appreciated! Below is some ...

I'm glad I didn't answer it correctly before, because I was kicking myself afterwards for not practicing hummer ID, which badly needs touching up. OK mostly...
Ok, I have to admit this was rather cruel on my part. Brendan is right--this is a Ruby-throated Hummingbird. Ever since I took this pic in June, I've been...

A nice array of migrants at the West End today. At first it appeared to be an uninteresting day, with tons and tons of Palm and Yellow-rumpeds Warbler at the...
