[nysbirds-l] American Avocet @ Coast Guard Station Jones Beach LI...

[Andrew Baksh]

Steve Schellenger just called to report an AMERICAN AVOCET currently
on the spit near the Coast Guard Station @ Jones Beach LI.  Good luck
if you go and many thanks to Steve for the report.

I am at the East Pond at Jamaica Bay in Queens (surprise) and there's
is not much to report other than the usual shorebirds + a few Red
Knots.

Hi Andrew, I'm not on ABA so can't post about the avocet etc. but I have
blog of my own where I post my pics http://longislandbirding.blogspot.com/
I was at the JB Coast Guard Station looking for the avocet around 3:30 ,
but there were no signs of it...just saw short billed dowitchers, common
loon, black scoter flock, semi palmated sandpipers, sanderling in breeding
plumage.  There were 2 obnoxious guys that walked onto the spit and were
chasing the birds away, so chances are they spooked the avocet away.  Could
you please post this on ABA?  I know it's sometimes helpful to post
non-sightings too.

Thanks,
Rob

The breast bands of Piping Plovers trapped on the nest on Long Island, NY,  
vary from incomplete to full thick bands.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Fwd: avocet (no) at jones beach coast guard

[Steven Schellenger]

The American Avocet found at Jones Beach State Park Coast Guard Station
sand spit by Bob Anderson, hung around for about an hour before being
chased off by a Peregrine Falcon that strafed the spit 3 or 4 times,
finally the American Avocet had enough and flew off toward the Loop Parkway
draw bridge.
