Birds I Saw on my Trip to New York

June, 2009

My parents have a Willow Flycatcher nesting under their porch -- my Mom was able to identify it by its call. They also have a Belted Kingfisher nesting in a burrow on the hillside overlooking their pond.

We saw huge Osprey nests on the drive to Vermont, saw at least one Great Blue Heron (maybe it's the one that puts his big old beak through the trout in Dad's pond, only to leave them belly-up because they're too big to eat), and passed a few Ring-necked Pheasants along the roadside.

Oh, and let's not forget the Ruby-throated Hummingbird that visits my parents' feeder.
