The variety of habitats makes it a nice place for birds to stop over during migration (which I missed) or just for breeding. I got to see a bit of the latter, and it contributed nicely to my year list. The best sighting were Bank Swallows. Here's the list for that day:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Jordan's Science and Teaching Blog: Species 74: At Risk
http://wolfscienceblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/species-74-at-risk.html
Jordan's Science and Teaching Blog. A biology teacher's quest for enlightenment (and 200 bird species in 2010). 27 March, 2010. Species 74: At Risk. Is a migrant on its way North after spending the winter here. I was lucky enough to catch them at Central Park today. Anywhere there are relatively clean, wooded creeks with lots of leaf litter, there should be this bird. Unfortunately, their populations have been on the decline. Above) Male in breeding plumage. Below) "Rusty" winter plumage.

Jordan's Science and Teaching Blog. A biology teacher's quest for enlightenment (and 200 bird species in 2010). 19 March, 2010. Species 68: Cooper's Hawk in Traffic. Whiling away the time in the passenger seat, I saw a silhouette not too high up flying toward us from the East. As it got closer, the long tail and good size told me I was seeing my first Cooper's Hawk. At twilight, this is about what I saw. Huntington - Elk's Lodge Inn. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Jordan's Science and Teaching Blog: Species 121-124: "Peep-Lo!" cries the Piping Plover
http://wolfscienceblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/species-121-124-peep-lo-cries-piping.html
Jordan's Science and Teaching Blog. A biology teacher's quest for enlightenment (and 200 bird species in 2010). 22 June, 2010. Cries the Piping Plover. Back in the summers of 1999, 2000, and 2001 (and briefly in 2005), I strolled along the beaches of Long Island and New York City monitoring the breeding of the endangered Piping Plover. When it comes to getting to know a bird, it doesn't get much more familiar than I was able to get with these little tan puffballs. Piping Plover's Broken wing display.
