I generally visit Turtle Cove and vicinity in Pelham Bay Park, 2-3 times per week and rarely post. However, with so few birds being reported, I thought I would post today. There are nesting birds here and it's not hard to find them on any given day as the tide goes out. If you're suffering from birding withdrawal, there is always something here to see. This morning at 7:30-8:45 AM:
Clapper Rail (heard close by) Marsh Wren (several nesting) Snowy Egret 2 Eastern Kingbird 2 (Two pair are usually seen and nesting here, I believe.) Baltimore Oriole (nesting) Snowy Egret 2 Great Egret 1 Black-crowned Night Heron 3 Song Sparrow Spotted Sandpiper 2 Killdeer 2 (nesting) Mallard 2 Osprey 2 Red-tailed Hawk Red-winged Blackbird (50+) Catbird (few) Double-crested Cormorant (few) Northern Mockingbird Tree Swallow Barn Swallow American Goldfinch Mourning Dove (2) American Robin (50+) Cedar Waxwing Jack Rothman cityislandbirds.com -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
