Still there as of 1:30, same location. Takes some patience but eventually I saw it. Thanks!

Found some Dunlin at Wrights Loop this morning in full breeding plumage. I could only make out half a dozen but subsequent reports indicate three times that. Also 40+ Least Sandpipers, several Semi-pa

Singing Vesper and Savannah Sparrows at Saratoga County Airport this morning. Also FOS Warbling Vireo.

And about a dozen Ruddy Ducks mixed in with the grebes, and a pair of Red-breasted Mergansers! David

Decided to head out into middle-of-nowhere Schenectady County today to see what waterfowl might be lurking in the less-birded lakes there. I was pleasantly surprised to find a male Red-breasted Mergan

This morning I left Stafford’s Bridge and instead took a right at the top of the hill. I was soon rewarded with a large flock (150+) of Horned Larks in the field east of the road. While watching that

Sharpie or Cooper’s? Either way it drew quite a crowd outside the Ballston Spa post office. David Halm Burnt Hills

Inspired by Tom’s “Anyone out there?” posting, I will report that I saw an Eastern Phoebe on Jan 13 at the Surrender March Trail in Schuylerville. Not sure if it was very late or a few months early. h

In case you missed them, the Greater White-fronted Geese were back at Collins Lake as of late Friday afternoon. Hopefully they’ll stay for the weekend.

I had a wonderful comparative study of flycatchers in my yard this evening, with 4 species out foraging simultaneously. The Pewee flying out and returning to its high perch. The Phoebes staying low to

I’ve had an Ovenbird in my Burnt Hills yard the past few days also. It likes to chase the other birds. BAW and Blackpoll were here this morning.

There’s a pair of Black-billed Cuckoos right at the start of the Glenville Bike Trail off Freemans Bridge Rd. Saw them flying back and forth across the power line cut, once carrying food. Lots of good

Yes, I can attest I was there at 8:30 this morning and didn’t see them. Thanks to posts from Neal and others, I went back at 11:00 and there they were! David

The Pine Grosbeak flock continues this morning (2/17) at the Katherine / Woodside intersection in Burnt Hills. They look even better in the bright sunlight! David

Ron, Thanks so much for the Pine Grosbeak tip! After 3 days of trying (I live in Burnt Hills a few miles up Goode St) I finally lucked out and encountered the flock this morning right where you descri

I think I had 2 flyovers around 3:30 at the red/yellow trail junction. And the black vulture count was up to 23 by then. David Halm

Oh, they can be seen from the Quinlan Park side if you look towards the left shoreline. David

I’m not completely sure, but I think there’s a pair of Horned Grebes at Collins Lake. Might be Red-necked but definitely not Pied-billed (thin pointy bill, black wings with large white patches). Dista

Yeah, I saw two by exit 19 around 1pm on Monday. A first for me. David
