This morning at Five Rivers EEC in Delmar NY there were numerous southbound flocks of Canada Geese, from about 10 to 75 geese per flock. Near the orchard a Hermit Thrush was calling.Yesterday, one Green Heron, the first I've seen in several weeks, was at a refilled Fox Marsh.

Subject: [hmbirds] Upcoming field trip: Owl Banding! |
We have the opportunity to observe Saw-whet Owl banding at Jug End State Preservation. Tentative date is Oct. 19, rain date Oct. 17 (yes, I know that sounds backwards!) Meet in Nassau at 6:30PM on whichever date we settle on. It is approx. 50 minute drive to the banding site. They can accommodate up to 15 people, so please let me know if you are interested - first come, first served.
Be aware it will probably be chilly if not cold standing around, and it's a 20 minute walk into the banding area with some steep spots. Dress appropriately, have a flashlight - headlamp if you have one, maybe hiking poles if you're wobbly like me.

Subject: [hmbirds] October Big Day Weekend |
Hello!
Just wanted to reach out and remind everyone that this Saturday, October 11 , is October Big Day a global celebration of birds and birding organized by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Birders around the world will be heading out to see how many species they can find in a single day, contributing their sightings to eBird to help track migration and bird populations worldwide. Whether you join a local walk at the Albany Pine Bush or explore your own favorite spot, every checklist counts! Get outside, enjoy the fall migration, and be part of this worldwide birding event.
As for local happenings this weekend, Albany Pine Bush will be hosting a bird banding demonstration on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. A great chance to see birds up close and learn about banding research in action.
On the outreach side, we’ve got two farmers markets this weekend:
*
Saturday: Niskayuna Farmers Market, 8 a.m.–12 p.m. — we have enough coverage to make it happen, but a few extra smiles or friendly faces would be most helpful for this one.
*
Sunday: Schenectady Green Market — this one has a bit better coverage, but we could still use one or two more volunteers. More helping hands (and smiles) are always welcome and appreciated.
Looks like a beautiful weekend ahead perfect for birding, visiting a market, or both! While there’s no official field trip on the HMBC calendar this weekend, hopefully this gives you a few fun ways to stay involved and enjoy the outdoors.
Thanks everyone,
David M

Use the link below to join the Zoom meeting. NOTE: The first time you use Zoom on a device, you will be prompted to download the Zoom app when you click on the meeting link below. Follow the prompts to download the app and then launch the meeting using the meeting ID from the invite. (The app is recommended, but if you prefer, there is also an option when you open the link below to join the meeting via a web browser window, but with limited capabilities.) Audio connections can be through the app on your device or through a separate dial-in phone number given below. The program topic is: Bird Parasitism - A fight in the feathers Chances are the bird you saw on your last birding adventure was not alone; most birds also host a community of parasite species that live in their bodies and on the plumage. While these tiny parasites are easy to overlook, they have an oversized impact on a bird’s behavior and can drive changes in bird ecology and evolution as well. In this presentation, we will explore this antagonistic dynamic and use birds and their parasites to help understand larger questions about host-parasite coevolution.

Subject: [hmbirds] Recommendation: Duct, Dryer Vent & Chimney Cleaning Group Rate Available |
Hi neighbors,
I recently moved to a new place and started noticing some dust buildup and weak airflow in my house. After some thought, I decided it was time to get my air ducts, dryer vent, and chimney cleaned.
I have a professional technician who cleaned my father's house and came highly recommended by him. He charges $150 each for:
Duct cleaning
Dryer vent cleaning
Chimney cleaning
(You can choose any one or more services.)
What I really appreciated is that he doesn't ask for any upfront payment, and there's no upselling like many others do. The price is clear and the work is solid.
I know there are a lot of scams going around lately regarding duct cleaning, but I can personally vouch for this technician's honesty and quality service.
If you're interested, kindly send me your address, contact number, and availability via PM only. Please don't disturb other members in the group.
Happy to share more details if needed

Subject: [hmbirds] Sunday Green Market Schenectady 10-2 |
Hey everyone -
Outreach events have been going really well and we've had a lot of opportunities to connect with the public about what we do.
This Sunday we’re a little light on volunteers for the Schenectady Green Market (10 a.m.–2 p.m.) and could use a couple people, especially in the afternoon half from 12–2 p.m. Setup should be covered in the morning, but extra help later would be great. Just an FYI, this farmers market provides a courtesy tent, table, and chairs as part of their community table program (look for the green-topped tent instead of our yellow tent).
Thanks!
Dave Massa

Subject: [hmbirds] Upcoming field trips: 10/4, 10/5 |
The beautiful weather continues, and knock wood, we won't have any cancelled/relocated trips this weekend!
Five Rivers EEC
When: 4 Oct 2025
8:00 AM
Location: Five Rivers EEC
Coordinator: Tristan Lowery 646-323-8914 <tristanlowery...>
We’ll walk about 2 miles over generally flat terrain with some small hills, passing through a variety of habitats. Migrating sparrows are often abundant at this time of the year, with a good chance of Lincoln’s and White-crowned as well as more common species. Both species of kinglet may be present, as well as Yellow-rumped Warbler, Palm Warbler and Blue-headed Vireo. A late Nashville, Black-throated Green, Blackpoll or Magnolia Warbler might be found. Wood Duck and other waterfowl are possible, as well as Cooper’s and Sharp-shinned Hawks and Merlin. Wet grass and muddy spots may be encountered, so waterproof footwear is recommended.
Meet at 8:00 a.m. in the parking lot at Five Rivers EEC in Delmar.
===============
Bog Meadow Brook
When: 5 Oct 2025
8:00 AM
Location: Bog Meadow Brook
Coordinator: Ron Harrower <ronharrower14...>
Bog Meadow Brook Trail, an old rail trail just east of Saratoga Springs, runs along the northern edge of a swamp and consists of wetland habitat with two ponds with a wet mixed forest in between. In October, sparrows are moving in and late migrants are still present. There should be a good variety of waterfowl and lingering shorebirds are possible.
Meet at 8:00 a.m. at the trailhead pull-off on Meadowbrook Road, about 0.3 mile west of Stafford Bridge Rd/Rt. 67.

Kevin--
I forwarded your post to our Franklin Mt. hawk counters list last Friday
when I saw it. Birds do typically approach the lookout from the NE,
often along the I-88 corridor. However, we have checked various sites
'upstream' in that direction on promising days, and not found a
particular concentration of birds.
There were 47 broad-wings tallied that day, out of a total of 65
raptors. Broad-wings tend to follow ridges like that paralleling I-88
less than other hawks, so they could have cut south before reaching
Franklin Mt. We don't count Turkey Vultures until Oct. 1, so don't know
how many appeared.

October at Franklin Mountain - Open House 10/4

Broad-winged Hawk season is mostly over. The birds are heading for South America for the winter. This season was above average with over 1900 of the little buteos counted. Thanks to everyone who spotted those high birds in the clouds. My neck still hurts from looking straight up.
Early October is among my favorite times at Franklin Mountain. It is the period of greatest species diversity. Leaf color peaks and it isn't very cold. Birds will be migrating, including those that use powered flight – falcons and accipiters. Gross numbers aren't usually high but on a good day you can sometimes see 10 species. An early Octoberday with ideal wind conditions (moderate NW winds) is a real treat. I will send out an alert when I see those ideal conditions in the forecast. Later in October we should see an increase in Red-tailed Hawks andthe first Golden Eagles. The long-range forecast shows temperatures dropping around the first October. That's good.
Mark your calendar: The annualFranklin Mountain Open House will be held on Saturday, October 4.There will be refreshments, a workshop on identifying flying raptors,a trail walk, and live rehabilitated birds in the afternoon. We hopeto see you there. Details and directions are athttps://doas.us/events/sanctuary-open-house/.
Before traveling to Franklin Mountain, always check the weather forecast. Today (Thursday) was rained out. Tomorrow (Friday) through this coming weekend looks mostly dry, with good wind direction tomorrow.

Hello all -
At 10:35 this morning a late female Ruby-throated Hummingbird visited my Colonie yard. I was fortunate to have had my Canon Power Shot superzoom camera handy which allowed me to get satisfying photos of the bird at our red Dipladenia. This is the latest I've ever had a hummingbird in my yard.
Two Blue-throated Vireos, a Black-throated Green Warbler, and a couple of Cedar Waxwings at 7:30 were a good start to the day.

I’m watching a very late season Ruby-throated Hummingbird resting on one of the two hummingbird feeders we’re still maintaining. September 25th ties for our latest ever sighting (tied with 2011).
We’re located in western Saratoga County.
As the daylong rain continues, it has been sitting under the shelter of the rain guard. It’s a good and chunky (healthy looking) bird. Safe travels!!

Subject: [hmbirds] ***9/27 field trip to Normanskill Farm - NEW LOCATION*** |
Hi everyone —
As Naomi mentioned earlier, we're changing the location of the HMBC field
trip scheduled for Saturday, 27 September from Normanskill Farm in the City
of Albany to the Normans Kill Ravines Park in the Town of Bethlehem.
National Grid has been conducting major natural gas infrastructure upgrades
on the Normanskill Farm property most of the summer and in my few recent
visits there, I've found the construction activity much too disruptive for
birding.
I've only been to Normans Kill Ravines Park once before, but it was pretty
active with migrant songbirds during my brief visit. The terrain is a bit
more challenging than Normanskill Farm, with winding, narrow trails and a
bit of a climb in some spots, but nothing too strenuous.
The official entrance for Normans Kill Ravines Park is 70 Wright Lane in
Delmar. There's ample parking at the trailhead. Google Maps pin below:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/MT7uD3Lcst8aMWk28
Originally, we were supposed to finish the Normanskill Farm trip with an
optional visit to the Warbler Brewery in Delmar for anyone interested, but
we could always just go to nearby Brewtus Roasting for coffee instead,
depending on everyone's preferences.
The HMBC website will be updated with this location change soon but I
wanted to get the word out early this week.
Thanks.
Tristan Lowery
Albany, New York

They were perched near each other on a small dead branch near my porch, giving excellent views. Came to my hummingbird feeder, and worked my front flower bed with petunias and a variety of other favored flowers. To me, they appeared to be Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. Who knows. Not seen this morning. I always leave feeders up into November and hope for something else.

All our local hummingbirds should have departed for the winter. But a few from further north might stop by to refuel. My latest one in my yard was on October 28th a few years ago. And the excitement starts if a later migrating western species shows up unexpectedly. This could happen well into November - as has been the case with a Costa’s Hummingbird near Binghamton around Thanksgiving and Calliope Hummingbird downstate in December, and other examples. And, all Ruby-throats should not show any discernible size difference. Might you have something different?

Thursday was a quiet day at the Hawkwatch, with very light winds and mostly local birds flying by. The Ravens amused us with their antics and the resident Peregrines dive bombed Redtails and Turkey Vultures. No Hummingbirds and a handful of Monarchs. And a grand total of EIGHT Broadwings over four hours! Better luck next Thursday, I hope!

Kevin, since Eric has volunteered to help in the AM, and we are still

rather than setup? I couldn’t both unfortunately, but if you offer I come
in the afternoon, I can come between 2 and 3 and stay through the

Subject: [hmbirds] HMBC Field Trip summary- Hawk Watching and Songbirds at Thacher State Park- 9/14 |
The weather was favorable for hawk migration on Sunday. The morning started off mostly cloudy, with haze limiting the visbility, and a light and variable wind. The first 'good' bird of the day was actually a Cape May Warbler that appeared in a bush atop the overlook not far from the assembled birders, allowing brief but satisfying looks before it continued on its way along the escarpment. By late morning the wind had freshened from the north, helping to provide uplift, and raptors and vultures began to appear. During the ~4 hr 30 min observation period, the official count was 52 Broad-winged Hawks, never in groups larger than four-to-six. A few birds did come right overhead, pleasing the new hawkwatchers (there were quite a few!) and the photographers present. One highlight for many were two Peregrine Falcons, interacting with each other at first, then diving on a Red-tailed Hawk repeatedly until it headed into tree cover.
I've attached an eBird checklist for the day below. We want to thank all the club members that turned out for the event, it wouldn't be as thorough nor as much fun without all the extra 'eyeballs' to help. As usual, there were many members of the public that stopped by to ask questions, watch birds, and enjoy the spectacle. Special thanks to HMBC Social Media & Outreach Chair David Massa for setting up the outreach booth and the other volunteers that staffed it during the day.
See you out there.
