Last Friday (June 6) Peter Davies called to tell me about a Red-bellied =
Woodpecker in Liverpool (I did not see the bird and it turns out it was =
a one-day sighting) but on my way back from checking for it I heard and =
saw an Indigo Bunting. With my scope I saw that it was a first year male =
as it still had a lot of brown. Today (June 11) it is still singing in =
the same area and nearby I heard and saw two more! One of these is in =
all blue plumage but the other one was too far for me to see. Last =
Sunday (June 8) on my way to atlas a new square on the River Road from =
Milton  I heard and saw another Indigo Bunting. This makes four so far =
in Queens county. The Great Crested Flycatchers were found by Peter =
Davies on Monday (June 9). He saw at least six that day. I checked later =
that day and saw two. Yesterday I checked but did not see anything but =
today they are again vocalizing. =20

The Great Crested Flycatchers are hanging around the Anglican Cemetary =
which is on Bog Road in Liverpool. This road is next to the Municipal =
building on Rt 3 (the White Point Road) on the left. Follow it a short =
distance as it curves right and you are at the cemetary.=20

One of the Indigo Buntings is at the corner of Brunswick and George St. =
The other two were a short distance away at the corner of Common and =
King St. George St is a right turn from Rt. 3 before you reach the =
Municipal building. =20

Keep your ears and eyes out for the Red-bellied Woodpecker because it =
was seen in the yard of the house next to the Municipal building.

Thanks to Peter Davies for finding  the Great Crested Flycatchers. He is =
doing volunteer work at the cemetary so who knows what else he will =
find.

PS there were two Barred Owl fledgings the other night at the cemetary.
