NEG NAO Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 12Z EPS has a perfect track with enough cold air available for frozen precip in portions of the Metro - HP position not perfect but winds should maintain partial northerly direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 It's impressive how large the wild parrot population is getting here in SW Suffolk. They have giant nests on the light poles along 27A right next to power transformers. I see and hear them daily as the noisy flocks forage around my area for food. People actually started a blog on them since the flocks are growing so large. https://wildparrotsny.wordpress.com/tag/long-island/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkyfork Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 they should be exterminated along with every other non native import Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People actually started a blog on them since the flocks are growing so large. https://wildparrotsny.wordpress.com/tag/long-island/ There are over a hundred parrots in NE Queens and the Bronx. Quite a sight seeing dozens land at once on my pear tree in my yard. Everyone is used to them now and they're part of the local animal population. I believe they originated from an airplane at LGA that had a leak and dozens got free. They've adapted very well over the years and have been spreading throughout the boroughs and LI. They build massive home like nests on top of cell phone towers. In fact, I'm staring at a massive one as I type this by the Whitestone shopping center.

The house sparrows and starlings which were released in NYC during the 1800's are among our most common birds in this area now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 at the expense of so many native birds The house sparrows and starlings are really focused around dense population zones. Habitat destruction is another major issue for native species. The canada geese populations that stopped migrating and set up shop year round is another problem here. I had to slow down very quickly today when a family decided to cross 27A near Babylon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Starlings have been nesting in my gutters for a long time now. Very intelligent birds. My favorite local sighting so far is the Snowy Owl. I saw one on the roof of the old Malibu night club in Lido. But I have seen them more regularly at the Jones Beach West End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooralph Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hopefully, things will change and there will be less rain. Good luck with the run. Thanks, Don. If (significant) precip and wind can hold off until about 9:30 AM Sunday morning I am TOTALLY fine with whatever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what you're driving whether you have to slow down or not Those things have become such a huge nuisance and the depth of the mess they leave behind is impressive.

The best success in keeping them and their prolific droppings off lawns and walkways seems to be the Border Collie chaser dogs. The nitrogen content in the local bays is already high enough without their added input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
