I hate to obsess about weather, but June temperatures in New York have taken us all on a roller coaster ride with sweltering highs and frigid lows within days of each other. Alas, I didn’t locate any but found enjoyment in a prolonged standoff between mobbing Red-eyed Vireos and a Blue Jay who refused to take the hint.

” OK, we don’t really shout “Yee-haw” in New York, but our profane exclamations are not fit for a family-friendly blog. Alas, we’re still mired in shorebird season, so I’l sally forth once more this weekend in search of the Red Knots and Ruddy Turnstones passing through the Great Lakes.

Alas, the New York coastline is nowhere near as picturesque as the Pacific coast as our photo above by Duncan shows. Were I to write a poem about October, I’d do the same. I’m headed down to NYC this weekend where I plan to browse birds in the borough of Queens with Corey. How about you?

Last week, we had over a foot of snow in Albany, New York, with some of the surrounding areas blanketed by up to two feet. With my hands still numbed by the cold, I really could’ve used some help in this, but alas, no corkscrew nuthatches visited my feeders that day.

Steve Walter is a New York nature photographer, birder, and long-time member of the New York City Butterfly Club. It also brought back memories of a Fork-tailed Flycatcher that I found in Queens, New York in 2000. A few years ago, I would have been unable to do anything until I got home to New York.

Alas, the beer is only available on draft in Texas for a limited time, far out of range for me in New York. But I really would’ve jumped at a chance to try this beer, if only to review a beer infused with the world’s best-known bird-inspired candy. But its release party is tonight, if you’re in the Fort Worth area.

As the owner of what has been called ( by me ) western New York’s leading test prep organization , I have to meticulously analyze every aspect of these crucial college entrance exams. But just as snipe are always cryptic, Gyrfalcons are always cool, even when they’re not ice cold like the ones in Nunavut!
