[nysbirds-l] NYC Audubon Van Cortlandt Park,

2013-11-09 Thread Nadir Souirgi 
I arrived on the parade ground at approximately at 7:10 this morning to
scout for my NYC Audubon Van Cortlandt Park bird walk. Shortly after my
arrival I spotted the Lesser Canada Goose that first appeared in Inwood
Hill Park.  Next, I was able to locate the continuing Cackling Goose first
found by Debbie Becker and later reported by Andrew Baksch. I last saw it
flying east in a small, breakaway flock of local geese at approximately
11:15 a.m.. Hopefully, it did not fly away too far and will stick around
long enough for others to enjoy it.
To add to Andrew's earlier post, other notable sightings enjoyed by this
morning's group included a flyover flock of 20 - 30 Pine Siskins, flyover
Eastern Bluebird, Rusty Blackbird, and a presumed Branta/Anser hybrid.
 Below is my complete e-bird checklist from today's walk.

Happy birding.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaia Bay Wild Life Preserve

2013-11-09 Thread AndyatWH 


The West Pond  birding was a disaster  today compared to what it was for 
many years! There were no birds at  all in the west pond except one  lonely 
Great Egret! Not even ruddy  ducks, blacks, mallards, swans or brant! ( There 
were about 30  Brant however in marshes in the bay).
 
 Since Sandy washed through, filling the west bay with  salt water, nothing 
has been done to repair the breech and the pathway   going around the pond, 
so it can go back to be a fresh water pond, and  so we can again walk 
around the pond and see the  nature and  birds.
 
 
How long are they going to wait? I hope soon, so it can fill  up with fresh 
water over the winter!
 
The East Pond, which still has fresh water, still has also  birds. Besides 
many Ruddy Ducks, Canada goose,  several swans,and a  few black ducks and 
mallards, we saw  about four green  winged teals, several pied-billed grebes, 
two greater yellow legs, and  then 27 Snow Goose flew in with  one Blue 
Goose (dark morf) while we  watched from the  east end of Big John's path. 
There 
was nothing much  more at the south end of the East Pond, and I never got 
to the North  end as it was getting dark. The Barn Owl is still in the owl 
box at Big John's  pond. 
 
Does any one know anyone who is responsible for fixing the  breech? It is 
not a big project and It is a shame to leave it like it is. I  heard an 
excuse that the authorities do not want to fix it for fear  that it will breech 
again!! But so may the rest of Long Island, (my home  was flooded too),but we 
are all still fixing our flooded homes on the south  shore because we live 
here!

[nysbirds-l] Work made easier...by a bit of birding !

2013-11-09 Thread robert adamo 
Today, between 1000 and 1445, I was one of the volunteers at the combined
ELIAS/ QWR Fall Seed Sale, held at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge in Quogue.
While helping customers get their purchases (seed, bird feeders, etc.) out
to their cars, I was rewarded with a very close, and unobstructed view of
my FOS Winter Wren, a Sharp-shinned Hawk flying low over the
parking-lot, creating much mayhem among the avian population, and a female
Golden-crowned Kinglet, remaining in a small, bare tree (only ~ 3' from the
front door) long enough for most of the folks inside, to get outside and
see this cute creature...some for the first time !

I finished the day out with a fast tour of Dune Rd, during which I had 2
N.Harriers
and a flyover, FOS Great Cormorant.

Cheers,
Bob

[nysbirds-l] Birds from Calvert Vox Park and Coney Island..

2013-11-09 Thread Peter Colen 
http://www.petercolenphotography.com/ConeyIslandDrierOffermanNov820

These pics are from friday. The most surprising thing I saw was a Northern
Harrier flying low over the waves past Breezy Point heading west, quite far
from any shore. It was heading into a strong NW wind. What a bird.

Hi everyone,

I was at the lake by Merrick Road earlier - the winter ducks are moving in
more: saw ~30 ruddy ducks, 5 hooded mergansers, and around a dozen
shovelers and black ducks.  Also saw a monk parakeet on Broadway by N Kings
Ave (you'll see the nest)  I will post pics of the ducks ASAP on my blog
longislandbirding.blogspot.com.

Good birding,

[nysbirds-l] Smith Point (Suffolk Co) Short-eared Owl

2013-11-09 Thread Richard Kaskan 
At about 5:55 this morning I saw a single Short-eared Owl West of the Fire
Island National Seashore visitor center next to Smith Point county park.  I
watched it for perhaps a minute before it dropped out of sight - I hung
around until I thought it was getting too light, but never picked it up
again.  Other birds interesting to me there were a Fox Sparrow, 19 American
Pipits, and a Merlin.   There was a real Northern Gannet show in the
Atlantic - I counted 1012 of them before I got tired of holding the
binoculars up, but there were more.

Dave Klauber just called to report that he and Bobby Rosetti just found a 
Western Kingbird along the upper lot at Captree State Park.

Good luck if you try for it.

[nysbirds-l] Massapequa ducks and Monk Parakeet

2013-11-09 Thread Robert Taylor 
Hi everyone,

I was at the lake by Merrick Road earlier - the winter ducks are moving in
more: saw ~30 ruddy ducks, 5 hooded mergansers, and around a dozen
shovelers and black ducks.  Also saw a monk parakeet on Broadway by N Kings
Ave (you'll see the nest)  I will post pics of the ducks ASAP on my blog
longislandbirding.blogspot.com.

Good birding,
Rob
