[nysbirds-l] NY Times Article on GNRA recovery after Hurricane Sandy...

2012-12-11 Thread Andrew Baksh
I thought this might be worth reading for those of you who are interested
in the recovery progress of those areas within *GNRA* (Gateway National
Recreation Area) damaged by Hurricane Sandy; especially, our beloved *Jamaica
Bay Wildlife Refuge*.

[nysbirds-l] Dune Road, L.I. Birds and Eurasian Wigeon, Dec. 11th

2012-12-11 Thread Carl Starace
Hi, Crossbills continue along the eastern section of Dune Rd. I saw
only Red Crossbills,[35], this morning working the pines between Tiana
Beach and Triton Lane. There were 9 Bonaparte Gulls amongst a larger
settled group about 300 yds east of Tiana parking lot. A Belted Kingfisher,
5 GB Heron and an American Bittern were spotted near Triton Lane.  David
Means found a Eurasian Wigeon among a group of Gadwall this morning at
Southaven Park,north of Sunrise Highway in Shirley.   Good Birding,
Carl Starace

[nysbirds-l] On the Hudson

2012-12-11 Thread Ken McDermott
 Today my son, Curt, and I took a run across the bridge to the Beacon side of the Hudson in the area near the railroad station at about 3:45pm and we were most pleased to find threeICELAND GULLS - - - 2 were birds of the year and one was a second year bird of that extremely clean, almost white, form.  As Curt rightly pointed out it is not every day that you get to find THREE Icelands together! GOOD BIRDING all, Ken McDermott
