Missing DateDescription
A neighbor found this imprint in the snow, where a bird descended on some (probably subnivian) creature. The glove in the second photo is 11 inches long from cuff to longest finger, so from the bird's tail to the leading edge of the outstretched wing was about 9 inches. The observer saw the marks in the afternoon and thinks it was a daytime strike.

maeveDescription
A Jericho resident sent this photo. We think it's a white-breasted nuthatch, with the darker tones a result of light or camera setting.

Broad-leafed Helleborine (Epipactis helleborine)Observer
maeveDescription
This all-yellow plant attracted our attention. It grew in the woods, next to a path, and appeared to be all pale yellow - no green or any other color. The whole thing was about 4" tall. Bernie took two photos, one with flash.

Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii)Observer
maeveDescription
I'm pretty sure this is a Cooper's Hawk rather than a Sharp-shinned because of the flat head.

Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus)Observer
maeveDescription
Shape, overall color, eye color, bill shape, size all add up to Red-winged Blackbird. But I stared at this bird through binoculars for several minutes and never saw even a hint of any color but black.

Eastern Screech-Owl (Megascops asio)Observer
maeveDescription
I took this photo at Outreach for Earth Stewardship. A few years later, I labeled it Long-eared Owl but now I'm thinking it's a red-morph Eastern Screech Owl. However, the second photo, with Craig Newman's hand, suggests a larger bird so now I'm baffled.
