owl drive-by
Hi, I've seen a Barred Owl in a similar circumstance on a single occasion in Averill Park. It was on top of a telephone pole during the day, although it was a foggy day along a more or less rural road

Creepy White Roibin
Hi, This is a weird one. There's been a creepy white robin in our yard all day in Averill Park. It seems normal in almost every way, except it is mostly white. I'll post a picture on the yahoo hmbirds

leucistic or albino bird - but which?
Hi All, I'm thinking catbird. For more clues, watch the behavior, what, oddly enough, British birders call 'jizz'. Is it a tree percher, or is it an object percher? I find that catbirds are most comfo

Migration last night
Hi, Thanks for the heads up on the migration calls. I took a walk outside last night and heard tons of them. At some point I'll have to figure out what is what. Right now they sound like little tweets

Times Union Article
Hi, Great article. It's amazing to see the black birds this time of year in their huge flocks. The article reminded me of the first time that I saw Black Skimmers when I was a kid down on Long Island.

Merlins over Albany
Hi, Do you think a Merlin could take a crow? I think of a Merlin as a bit smaller than a crow. When the crows are in big bunches they must make fairly easy targets. What local bird denizens can eat cr
