My husband Townsend and I spent from 1:15pm-4:10pm observing & photographing 
the Hermit Warbler. We have clear photos of the bird eating several types bugs, 
worms including catapillars.

Another gorgous Warbler to see and add to my life list! Thank you Vinny P for 
such a stunning find!

Photos will be posted tomorrow on my blog if your interested.

[nysbirds-l] Sunken Meadow Hermit Warbler: photos and HD video

2010-12-05 Thread John Gluth
I arrived at Sunken Meadow Park at 7:45 this morning hoping the HERMIT
WARBLER would still be present. I was not disappointed. It was still putting
on 
a show when I left at 10:00. Six images and a 1 minute video can be viewed
here...

[nysbirds-l] Long Island to Sullivan County

2010-12-05 Thread vanhaas
Today, Renee Davis and I did something we hadn't done in a long time.  We 
chased birds on Long Island and we weren't  disappointed.  We first headed to 
Jones Beach, where we were immediately greeted by the LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE, 
perched right on the boardwalk just in from the entrance.  It fed continually 
while we were there, shooting down into the grass, grabbing something and 
flying back up to eat it on the rails. We stopped at the Coast Guard Station 
where we had an assortment of geese, gulls and mergansers.  A beautiful male 
Harlequin Duck flew right in next to the piers for decent photo opts.  We then 
headed north to Sunken Meadow Park where we found many birders viewing the very 
cooperative HERMIT WARBLER!  Things were going so well that we decided to head 
south and try for the not recently seen Common Ground Dove.  During our search 
of Captree Park we found only a Hermit Thrush.  At one stop Renee spotted a 
Northern Gannet which we able to get in the scope.  It was a nice day.  Back in 
Sullivan, for those who may be interested, EVENING GROSBEAKS have again 
returned to the county.  Sue Rayano is welcoming birders to her feeders at the 
corner of Cooley Mt. Road and Smith Road.  She has had about three birds daily, 
several times a day.  Another flock of 11 birds were found yesterday and might 
be seen just about anywhere on the winter finch tour in my book.  Good luck if 
you come! John Haas

Vicki Bustamante called to say there is currently a BLACK VULTURE sitting on
one of the poles in the large group of telephone poles in the grasslands of
Teddy Roosevelt County Park in Montauk (Suffolk Co.). These poles can be
most easily viewed by looking north from the overlook parking lot on Montauk

[nysbirds-l] Hermit Warbler on L.I yes

2010-12-05 Thread Andrew Block
Went to look at the Hermit Warbler (probable first fall female) at Sunken 
Meadow 
SP this am at 9:20.  It gave great close views for the ten minutes I was there 
and was still there when I left.  Pretty nice.  It's amazing that this bird 
showed up almost exactly 8 years to the date at the bird I found in '02.  Weird.

[nysbirds-l] Hermit Warbler, Trumpeter Swans

2010-12-05 Thread Luke Ormand
I was at Sunken Meadow SP this morning and observed the Hermit Thrush for
about an hour and captured some photos as well, though the sun only came out
to shine when I left. It should be easy to find... just look for the big
group of birders near the traffic circle.  I headed to Upper Lake in Yaphank
where the Two Trumpeter Swans have returned for their third winter.  Photos
of both species can be seen here:
