Paul Sweet’s Slides
Impromptu “show and tell” in the break between the scheduled presentations on the occasion of the November 7-8, 2017 Corncrake at Cedar Beach Marina, Suffolk County, New York. Found by Ken and Sue Feustel on the shoulder of the parkway and then seen by many observers for two days. The bird was then, unfortunately, found dead by the birders who arrived at first light on November 9. Arrangements were made and it was transported to AMNH, where they could confirm it had been hit by a car. The bird is now specimen AMNH 841733.
