Recent Updates and Sightings
@kristynrae Incredible sighting for this time of year. You should definitely report it to the local Audubon center and even eBird.
Early shorebirds (American Oystercatcher and Piping Plover) are starting to show up. http://www.flickr.com/photo...
Peregrine Falcon at 50 Christopher Columbus Dr, Jersey City, NJ 2 Adults (nesting nearby) as well as a Sharp-shinned hawk in the past 10 minutes.
Just watch a Loggerhead Shrike attack and kill a Palm Warbler. About 35 Palm and Pine warblers instantly mobbed and watched the carnage.
@pporonto Yep, looks like you have yourself a juv. Sharp-shinned Hawk. Determined by the squared tail and "no neck" posture.
Buff-bellied Pipit at Liberty Island, NY First time seeing this species at LSP. 5 in total.
@snowbunting Migrating shorebirds are especially susceptible as they start migrating south in July and get heavy in August and September.
