All - I'm thinking a January meeting is our best bet, as December can be pretty chaotic with holidays, finals, and whatnot. Perhaps January 10th or 17th (both...
I really don't have any idea of where we could hold some kind of meeting upstate, which would be best for everybody, but I do think that we should try to have...
I'm in favor of that idea, since I can't make an upstate meeting and also missed the first trip. However, I'm bias because I live here in the NYC. We would...
Even, if the upstate birders can't make it, there's nothing wrong with holding an unofficial field trip and birding outings between NYC/Longislanders. The more...

Hear hear! By the way, the Queens County Bird Club is doing a public Pelham Bay walk next Sunday morning. If anyone's interested, drop me an email. Brendan...
Seeing as everyone seems to be in agreement that a trip during this time period is a good idea, what location do you suggest we go to? As I said in my last...
Jamaica Bay would be good, but seeing as you've already visited there once, you could check out Montezuma upstate. Croton Point could be good for owls and...
I almost certainly cannot make a trip down there at that time but I'll see what I can do. On another note, we have a California Gull towards our area. It...
Right now, I'm for the Croton Point/ Shawangunk trip.The diversity in habitats, and closeness of the locations will make for a good diversity of birds, as well...
The Grasslands are awesome, and I like the idea of a joint trip with Croton.. I would like the North Shroe of LI trip as well. ... From: FRESHA2411@......
Perhaps we could have the planning trip in January go to the Croton and the grasslands, both locations are pretty close to the meeting place Hope suggested. ...
There was a snowy owl in Norwalk CT for about a week...did you happen to get that? Oh, let me introduce myself, I am president of Huntington Audubon and have...
Jacob, To be honest, most of those birds are more likely to be seen on Long Island than on a grasslands/croton trip. I like the idea of two trips ...the...
Does anyone else have specific target birds for the (two?) upcoming trip(s)? -Doug ... From: Joe T <jbirds268@...> To: NYSyoungbirders@yahoogroups.com ...

The NYSYBC is planning a meeting on Saturday, January 17th, 2009 at the Stony Kill Farm Environmental Center in Wappingers Falls (just south of Poughkeepsie)...
I still need Rough-legged Hawk and Northern Shrike for the state... they're both possible at the grasslands. There also could be oddities around like geese...
I too need Rough-legged Hawk, Northern Shrike, and White-winged Crossbill. I say do the two trips, one for Jones Beach, the other the grasslands. The Jones...
I think the trip location is good. As far as being able to make the trip, I don't really know. We've had rough-legs and Shrikes appearing in Rochester...
Rough-legged is essentially a guarantee at Shawangunk in the winter. As for the other stuff, only time will tell. There are generally Bluebirds and Meadowlarks...
Shawangunk has Short-eared Owls every winter. Of course, you have to be there around dusk for that, and they are not guaranteed on every visit. Another...
Perhaps for the LI trip earlier in the season we could leave the destination open until the last minute, and then decide based on the birds that are being...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the NYSyoungbirders group: Which dates are best for a field trip to somewhere on LI? (Location to be...

That last week of the poll might involve some Christmas Counts, although I'm not positive. The last weekend in November is probably the best bet for rarities. ...
Yea I have a count that weekend (Dec 14) so there are probably others who have them too that date. Benjamin Van Doren White Plains ... although I'm not...
A well-respected Staten Island birder found an EMPID on saturday at Mt. Loretto here on SI. He refound the bird again today and thinks it may be a Hammond's...
The Rochester CBC is that weekend and I probably can't go on any trip besides the official NYSYBC trip. We are very busy at this time of year and so is...
Doug is correct. The CBC season runs from December 14th through January 5th each year. While we're on the subject of the CBC, I'd like to encourage everyone...
Yeah, I think posting CBC results on the website would be a fun idea. Because of the nature of birding, and the inevitable that some counts will have higher...
