There were photos on Facebook, then reports of a female/ immature male Bullock's Oriole (and a Chat) at at a bird feeder in West Islip next to a school - I tried to find it one morning but didn't see either. I wasn't too upset since I had seen a male Bullock's Oriole at Stillwell Woods in Syosset some time ago.

Manheim/ Mount Joy, Pennsylvania
My son had a volleyball tournament in Manheim PA. Of course, I realized it was an opportunity to possibly see some birds we don't get on Long Island such as Barred Owl, Pileated Woodpecker and was even wishing for a possible Golden Eagle. I didn't see any of those but when my son and I were driving around we went to the top of a hill that had a cemetary on it and had a Bald Eagle fly towards us and land in a tree. Later on, we found a Red Shouldered Hawk perched right at our hotel. I saw some other raptors here and there in the sky such as Turkey Vultures, Black Vulrures? (can't remember) and Red Tailed, Red Shouldered Hawks. BTW, the town does not smell nice (all farmland).
