[nysbirds-l] Pre CBC check of Hempstead Lake SP

[syschiff]

Hempstead Lake State Park' 24 Dec

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) did a pre CBC scouting trip this morning. After 
parking at field #3, we walked up to the traverse road and scanned the big 
pond. At the extreme north end we found our first target bird, an adult BALD 
EAGLE. In the pond were a dozen COMMON MERGANSERS.

We proceeded to Smith Pond which exhibited the usual duck species. It included 
RING-NECKED DUCKS and a PIED-BILLED GREBE. On the shores we picked out 3 Great 
Blue Herons and 4 imm. BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONS. A BELTED KINGFISHER  flew by.

Next stop was the woods and ponds north of the parkway. Here we found a 
RED-TAILED HAWK and a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK circling overhead. Land birds 
included 8 EASTERN TOWHEES, 6 GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS, 4 WOODPECKER species, 
BROWN CREEPER, a winter troop of woodland birds, CAROLINA WRENS, AMERICAN 
ROBINS and 2 FOX SPARROWS. The last species of the morning were a pair of 
COMMON RAVENS flying by pursued by an AMERICAN CROW.. 

You're welcome to join us Saturday to help us relocate and count these guys.

Sy

Re: [nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Varied Thrush updates for Sunday?

[Jared Cole]

I looked for the Varied Thrush from 1:20pm-2pm today (12/24/2013) by the
Oval Study at Stuyvesant without seeing the bird. Just got home. Two other
birders/photographers were there but they hadn't seen it either, at least
by the time I left.

[nysbirds-l] Hempsstead Lake State Park

[TESSA1]

Like Joe and Sy, I also did some pre-CBC scouting at Hempstead Lake  
covering a similar broad area, but later in the day - from 2-4PM.  I  found 
some 
of the species noted in Sy's post, minus the RS Hawk, Common  Mergs, Ravens 
and Towhees. 6 GW Teal were on the north side along with many of  the 
expected half-hardies.The adult Bald Eagle put on a great show, cruising  
around 
the length of the Reservoir. One significant bird I found not mentioned  in 
Sy's report was an immature Greater white-fronted Goose. This was found with  
about 60 Canadas resting on the grass area near the Carasaul. This is a  
small, generally pale bird, much unlike any of the GWF Geese we've come across. 
 Without getting too long-winded, my overall impression is that this one is 
of  the "Tundra Race". I have no photos, but it'll be interesting to hear 
some  commentary on this bird if it sticks around. It was not too skittish 
and seemed  quite relaxed, having been snoozing when I got on it. I don't 
recall any of  these other than the "Greenland Race" having been reported in 
Zone 10.
 
Merry Christmas to all,
 
Bobby Berlingeri
