Troy Swans ID?
Heidi
Someone posted this photo taken “last week” at Cooper’s Pond in Troy (actually just over the city line in Brunswick)
Is this a Mute Swan on the left with an immature Mute Swan on right? Thanks Heidi Klinowski Troy

Wrights Loop
Susan
While there are still two white rumped- sandpipers remaining, along with a handful of least and semi palmated sandpipers, the party is just about over. The water left in the fields doesn’t amount to much more than a large puddle and should be all be gone by tomorrow. Dunlins and semipalmated plovers are gone. The remaining shore birds are much closer to the Stillwater Riverside Park trail than Wrights Loop.

Lesser Black backed Gull-s Coeymans Landing
Richard Guthrie
After having a good look at the photo, and consulting others, I’ve added the upper left bird as a LBBG as well. It’s a 1st year immature bird. The contrasting darker mantle plus the barely visible dark tail band are clues. When the birds flew by I was suspicious but slow at getting the camera up, cycled on, and focused. By then, both birds were pretty far away; hence, the crummy photos.

eBirding your century runs
zach schwartz-weinstein
As the reports from what looks to be a good year for century runners despite the heat come in, this is a reminder that the best way to get a composite count of all the Sora cues you saw in a given day is eBird’s trip report feature:
Compiling all your century run checklists into a trip report will automatically compile your totals across county lines and other boundaries while keeping individual checklists within the correct county/hotspot/atlas block. It’s the best way to compile day-long counts while still using eBird in the way that’s most useful for ongoing research. Even better, trio reports are shareable. Best, ZSW -- Zach Schwartz-Weinstein 203 500 7774

Lesser Black backed Gull - Coeymans Landing
Richard Guthrie
A Lesser Black backed Gull flew by Coeymans Landing going north, just as the storm arrived, around 6 PM. I’ll post some photos on the EBird checklist when I get to download them.

Hey Thursday birders! Sunday the 22nd is our annual Quest For Ceruleans, so let's meet at Schodack Island SP at 8:00 to scout for the trip. Avoid the weekend crowd - I think I'll have a big turnout this year.

Call For Century Run Results
Larry & Penny Alden
All of the Century Run teams or individuals out yesterday (and we encountered a few of you) should send me your results for compiling and publication in Feathers. Please include the counties where you birded, your party members, and species list in checklist order. If you have any comments or stories, you may include them, too.
If I need any clarification, I’ll contact you directly. Thanks. Larry Alden
