Today, I had 26 migrating Double Crested Cormorants. In the city, it was in the 60s today, which reminded me of how hellish (almost literally, as far as...
I found a kestrel nest today on the Upper West Side of manhattan-- a hole in a concrete block above a grocery market! Ironically, up the street not even a...
I hope this issue has gotten enough publicity. Some nazi-descended pro golfer with the name Tripp Isenhourkilled a red-shoulder yesterday for making too much...
I heard about it on ESPN. How sick. Amother person added to the long (and rapidly increasing) list of professional athletes who have messed up. Sincerely, ...
Unfortunately, as it is already well known, the Black-necked Stilts were not present on Hook Pond at all today. At around 1:00, a group of 4 TUNDRA SWANS...
Hi all! This fall, NYSOA's (New York State Ornithological Association) Annual Meeting will be held in Rochester, NY on September 19-21. For the past 3 years,...
Sounds great! My older birding friend has been wanting to pull together a young birder's club for the area for a while, and we were planning on putting...
This progress is excellent. Although I probably will not be able to go the conference, I hope that it will be a success and attract plenty of young birders....
I could do a lot of work for the meeting regarding the Young Birders Club. It would be easy since I live in Rochester and am in contact with many people in...
Ever go out birding alone and just have a really great time? Sometimes birding alone is great - you can go wherever you want, explore everything, and its...
Though not actually in NY state, (but only an hour from albany)I was birding/ herping in the southern berkshires and northern CN (salisbury), and spotted a...
Hey all, Thanks for all the input! Jacob - That's awesome about starting the club in your area! It'd be great if it could feed into the statewide club...
So! My suggestions for a conference are as follows: - obviously, physical birdwatching - discussions on ecology, biology, conservation, and the world of birds...
I think we should expand the trip selection to other spots around NYS. There is only one problem, most of us are in the NYC/Eastern NY region. I feel like an...
I completely agree with Greg I would highly recommend Montezuma during summer and the ADKs in May or winter. I think people who live near these sites should do...
To the issue of transportation, I say we designate a meeting point for those of us that live close together, and travel from there. We can see if any adults...
Of course, I highly reccomend Central Park in May or October. And Homework! We should also allow some time, if the field trip is during the school year, for...
Another neccesity for a conference would be a visitor center or something that is large enough to have presentations and would be willing to host the event....
Actually the sighting is better than my 2 cents, which really isn't much. Today I saw the WESTERN GREBE that has been seen in my little corner of the world...
Nice! I hope to get the grebe, but I doubt it. There is a WESTERN TANAGER in central park though. I'll go for her tomorrow. I know Richard Lieberman, Anita and...
Aye Aye to that one. Jamaica Bay would really work that time of year. Same with Central Park. If any of us live in immediate area, if willing, we could use our...
I expect a pretty large group of people (i.e. >40) will attend the event, so I doubt that any one's house will work. The Visitor Center there has lots of...
40+ people? From where? also, I think we're going to have to compromise if we're going to do trips. Not everyone is going to be able to go on all of them,...
I would probably only be able to go on trips to Montezuma at the closest or maybe the ADKs. Niagara Falls is excellent in winter but it is a long trip for...
Yeah, we should try to alternate trips in regions, so its not always a pain in the ass schlep (every time) for whoever goes. ... do trips. Not everyone is...
First off, there's been a western tanager (I say it's an adult female-- thin wingbars, with the faint yellow upper coverts, a more rich, not pale yellow, and...
There is a large room in Montezuma where we can do presentations. ... From: Jacob Drucker <jacobdrucker@...> To: NYSyoungbirders@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Ah there's another thing. We each need to find something we can present. Obviously this entire group won't attend every meeting (I hate being pessimistic, oh...
