Seems like migration is kicking right in! The radar the past few nights has been quite busy and I have woken up in the middle of the night to hear the NFCs. It's very exciting! Yesterday and the day

this morning, 1 adult and 2 immature bald eagles, 1 great egret, 5 great blue herons, but no shorebirds at Cohoes flats. Scott Stoner, Loudonville Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

While biking the 11 mile tour road (even at high speed and two laps), the raptors were jumping out all around me. First, an adult Bald Eagle buzzed only 20 feet over my head near the Barber Wheatfield

Visited Carter's Lake today in Cossayuna/Greenwich/Argyle right after the thunderstorm and hiked the trails with thunder still rumbling. Found 3 Osprey, (fantastic diving displays) 4 Great Blue

Hey folks - due to excessive water and minimal birds, we have no plans for this week. Better luck next time! Naomi

Blue Jays and catbirds are still feeding young here in New Baltimore this morning. 2nd/3rd broods? Rich Guthrie -- Richard Guthrie

Just before Noon there was a Short-billed Dowitcher on the Cohoes Flats. It may have flown as others did not see it just after Noon David Harrison Sent from EarthLink Mobile mail

At 9:30am this morning there was a White-rumped Sandpiper foraging along the spillway at Cohoes Flats. It was with a group of Least Sandpipers and a Semipalmated Sandpiper, right on the bottom face of

I was in the neighborhood for work, so I stopped by Knox-Marcellus marsh and the Wildlife loop in the late afternoon. KM Marsh had literally thousands of waders and shorebirds. A little too far from

Had a Great Egret on the pond in front of the Gardner Earl Chapel at Oakwood Cemetery (Troy) tonight just before the start of our Twilight Walking Tour, 8/15/19, 6pm. He was intent on fishing along

While visiting Montezuma NWR at sunset on Wednesday, August 7th, my sister and I witnessed the largest grouping of birds we had ever seen...over Tsatche Pool...there were Tree Swallows that spanned

A group of sixteen Common Nighthawks just flew past in direct flight at medium altitude (~200 m.) heading SSE, as viewed from our yard in Colonie. Go outside and look up for more! Tom Williams

I was looking at all the big juicy dragonflies today and thinking "nighthawk time". Nancy Kern

While I was stopped in traffic near Rosewood Plaza in Colonie, I watched a Common Nighthawk zig-zagging away from me at a pretty low altitude. Should be an increasingly common sighting going forward

We had a small group of 7 birders for the HMBC Cohoes Flats/Peebles Island field trip yesterday morning. This trip is scheduled in hopes of coinciding with the unpredictable waves of migrant
