    Sorry for this off topic pic, but since Jason posted "Spotter Kitty" maybe animals are somewhat relevant. That brings me to this question- Anyone know what this animal is? I spotted him last week at the mounds. My guess is he's a groundhog, but something doesn't look right with the muzzle shape and eyes. First I thought he was a super-sized rat, but not really rat shaped. A woodchuck? I'm stumped.

    Don, that would be a Muskrat! I guess that's a benefit from living on eastern long island. (Although I wish I lived as close as you guys do to Kennedy)

    Great photos, everyone! Looks like the light was perfect for the arrival of EI-LNA. I spent a few hours out at JFK earlier in the afternoon before heading into the city around 6pm. I'm sorry to see I missed the group and of course the highlight of the day, but at least I got one 787. There are quite a few new aircraft at JFK that I need to photograph but unfortunately they were sending the euro heavies to both 13L and 22L so it was kind of a mess and on top of that there were a few delayed inbound a/c. Still need the AA 77W and SU 77W but happy to have the EY 77W now!

    Hope to see you all soon. :)

    Don, you've never met the NYCA Spotter Muskrat before?

    Here are a few shots from the morning before heading out to the North fork and a couple of shots from Southold (LOT and Royal Jordanian).

    ANA Star Alliance arriving on 13L


    One of the first arrivals after switching runways to 13L from the backyard (heat haze wasn't too bad yet)


    From the backyard as Avianca Star Alliance departs off 31L


    Take from Southold with the 300mm + 1.7TC. They pass here around a flight level of 18,000 - 20,000

    Don....next time you're out there, bring your camera gear. You'll definitely need the 100-400mm, and having the cropped sensor definitely helps. Having FlightRadar24 or PlaneFinder helps along with Plane Finder AR! Point Plane Finder AR with your iPhone and you'll see various flights, but what I like about it is that it gives you the range (in miles) from you to the aircraft and the general direction I should be looking towards.
