[nysbirds-l] 2 sizable Canada Flocks in Riverhead

[robert adamo]

Having only a short time to bird on Thursday, between 1535 & 1625 I drove
the "loop" from Doctor's Path, north to Sound Ave, east to Rt. 105, south
to Northville Tpke., and then back to D.P. The 1st flock of ~ 1,450 birds
was found on the w/s of Rt. 105, between S.A. & N.T., while the 2nd
(approx. the same size as the 1st) was on the s/s of N.T., between Rt. 105
& D.P. Unfortunately, during these fairly quick perusals, I couldn't come
up with another goose specie.

Cheers,
Bob

BEGIN TAPE

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, January 16th
2015 at 7pm. The highlights of today's tape are BOHEMIAN WAXWING, pelagic
trip results, PINK-FOOTED GOOSE, ROSS'S GOOSE, BARNACLE GOOSE, EARED GREBE,
BLACK-HEADED GULL, BARROW'S GOLDENEYE and KING EIDER.

Firstly a kingbird update. Unfortunately the last dates reported seem to be
January 9th for the COUCH'S KINGBIRD in lower Manhattan and January 5th for
the CASSIN'S KINGBIRD at Floyd Bennett Field.

Another nice passerine, a BOHEMIAN WAXWING, spent last weekend visiting
fruiting trees near the Chandler Estate in Miller Place on north-central
Long Island. The waxwing was usually in the company of robins and starlings
so watch for flocking birds at fruit bearing trees.

A pelagic trip, sponsored by See Life Paulagics last Sunday from Freeport
aboard the Captain Lou's Star Stream VIII got out over 40 miles and
recorded 37 RAZORBILLS, 8 COMMON MURRES, and 87 DOVEKIES and among the
gulls 2 ICELAND, LESSER BLACK-BACKED and 8 BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKES.
Interestingly another COMMON MURRE was spotted inside Jones Inlet Sunday
seen off Jones Beach West End Coast Guard Station. Also around the inlet an
EARED GREBE was present Saturday and Sunday near the Point Lookout eastern
jetty and a female KING EIDER was still in the Common Eider flock seen both
off Point Lookout and off the Jones Beach West End jetty. Two HARLEQUIN
DUCKS also continue around the Point Lookout jetties and 4 AMERICAN
OYSTERCATCHERS were still in that area Saturday.

It seems the best bet now to see the BARNACLE GOOSE is to be at Belmont
Lake State Park early in the morning before the geese fly out from their
nighttime roost. Also roosting there have been 4 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED, 1
CACKLING and 3 SNOW GEESE. Once they leave the lake, usually beginning
around 8:30am or a little after 9am the places to look for the BARNACLE
would be at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale or on private Colonial
Springs Golf Course on the east side of Wellwood Avenue north of the
cemetery. The PINK-FOOTED GOOSE was seen last weekend along Roanoke Avenue
north of Riverhead and should also be looked for along the east side of
Doctor's Path south of Sound Avenue. The ROSS'S GOOSE was at the latter
site last Saturday when a second ROSS'S was also spotted at Southaven
County Park in Yaphank this latter may have been the same ROSS'S reported
from Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge in Shirley south of Route 27 on
Sunday.

A drake BARROW'S GOLDENEYE continues with Common Goldeneyes off the Sands
Point Preserve. The bird is usually off to the northwest from the preserve
often fairly far out.

A drake KING EIDER spotted at Shinnecock Inlet last Saturday was still
present today is usually with Common Eider north of the main parking lot at
the inlet out near the sandbars. A GLAUCOUS GULL also continues at
Shinnecock.

A BLACK-HEADED GULL was seen again at Riverside Park in northern Manhattan
flying by the park late Thursday afternoon.

The Eurasian form of GREEN-WINGED TEAL remains on the small pond in
Centerport. This pond on the north side of Route 25A on the west side of
the Chalet Motel parking lot. A controversial wigeon neither a Eurasian or
a hybrid also continues there.

Other GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE have been at Marratooka Lake in Mattituck
Sunday and at Playland Lake in Rye this week. The latter location also
hosting a CACKLING GOOSE plus a EURASIAN WIGEON on Wednesday. Other
EURA

[nysbirds-l] South Shore target birds

[syschiff]

Jan 16, 2014

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff)  started at Belmont Lake SP. and quickly found the 
WHITE-FRONTED GEESE. A bit of help from visitors from Mass. found us the 
BARNACLE GOOSE.

We proceeded to Massapequa Preserve and struck out on the EASTERN SCREECH-OWL, 
but went back and found it before we left. Joined by others and walking north, 
we found the two warblers feeding in the cattail stalks. The birds quickly 
disappeared. We waited and wandered a bit and as we were getting ready to 
leave, the NASHVILLE and ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS flew up into the top of a bare 
tree giving good looks before flying off.

Joe and I stopped at CAMMANNS POND and found 12 BLACK-CROWNED and 1 GREAT BLUE 
HERON on our way to Pt. Lookout. The wind was blowing a gale, kicking up sand 
with wild surf. A quick look found no Eiders today. About 75 BONAPARTE'S GULLS 
were on the beach and feeding in the surf. Also there were many LONG-TAILED 
DUCKS in the water and flying about.Too windy, too cold. We left without 
proceeding down the beach.

Sy.

[nysbirds-l] Bohemian Waxwing - No

[Rich Perkins / TAM]

Hi all,

 

We have been getting a lot of emails from people inquiring the status of the
Bohemian and hoping to come and see it.  Unfortunately, we have not seen the
bird since late morning on Sunday.  We have been looking daily and a few
other birders have come and tried as well but at this point he seems to have
moved on along with the robins he had been with.  If there are any sightings
we will certainly advise and would be happy to have people come look.

[nysbirds-l] Centerport Ducks

[holy...@juno.com]

The Eurasian green-winged teal continues on Centerport Pond (for those who 
might not be familiar with that area, Centerport Pond is the one next to the 
motel, Mill Pond is the larger body across the street) along with several 
hundred Canada geese, buffleheads, ring-necked ducks, mallards, and today, a 
single northern pintail.  Mill Pond turned up a slew of canvasbacks, lesser 
scaups, gadwalls, and widgeons including a Eurasian widgeon.  It's probably the 
same one that Keith Cashman described as a Eurasian x American hybrid 
yesterday, but I didn't see the same field marks that he did. C. Klein
