New York Birders,

I lead a Saw Mill River Audubon group on my "Roughleg Route" today, which
covers the Shawangunk Grasslands and multiple stops in the Black Dirt
Region. We tallied fifteen light and six dark morphs.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Fwd: [OneidaBirds] Tufted Duck, Hog Hole, ITHACA

[Kevin J. McGowan]

Rich, thanks for posting to NYS-Birds. This is certainly a bird of state-wide 
interest.

An adult male TUFTED DUCK was seen in Ithaca today (found by Dave Nutter), 
mixed in with the enormous numbers of Redhead ducks now at the very south end 
of Cayuga Lake in Tompkins Co.  The bird was seen off and on in late afternoon 
from the northwest-most point of the trails at Alan Tremain State Marine Park, 
as well as the limited overlook of the lake on Rt 89 that goes up the west side 
of Cayuga Lake.

I personally did not see the tuft, but the position of black and white was 
diagnostic: pure white sides outlined with a black rear, a black back, and 
black head-and-neck. It spent some time sleeping, some time diving, and all the 
time bouncing up and down, in and out of the waves, and always peeking in and 
out behind Redheads.

The Redhead numbers off Ithaca today were impressive. I estimated 25,000 at one 
point. They were broken into a dozen or so tightly-packed groups, with 
individuals constantly flying and moving. Mixed in with the Redheads were much 
smaller numbers of Canvasback, Greater and Lesser scaup, Common Mergansers 
(more than I’ve seen before, at about 450 or more), and a few individuals of 
Mallard, Ring-necked Duck, and Ruddy Duck. I’m sure there were more individuals 
of other species that I failed to find amongst the impressive swarm of Redheads.

Finding the Tufted Duck tomorrow is going to be a challenge, as it was 
difficult to keep track of it in the Redhead flock when we knew more or less 
where it was.  But, the flocks have been here a week or so, and I see no reason 
that this bird shouldn’t stay around.

Fwd: [nysbirds-l] House Sparrow at my feeder

[Paul R Sweet]

Rob

Since Junco and House Sparrows are in completely different families this is an 
extremely unlikely scenario. More likely a House Sparrow with aberrant tail 
feathers.

Hi Everyone,

I know that sounds funny but it must be a hybrid with a Junco.  Looks like a 
female House Sparrow with a Junco tail.  Also had a Fox Sparrow.  Both MIA 
now,,,I will post a photo later on my blog 
www.longislandbirding.blogspot.com.  
Not best quality since taken thru the window.

Good winter birding,

[nysbirds-l] crow

[Claudia Peretti]

There is a crow in my yard with a large bright green tag on both shoulder
areas of wings that say AC.  Probably for American Crow with perhaps
information on the inside of tag?  Is there someone who would want to know
about this sighting?

Re:[nysbirds-l] Pt. Lookout Eared GrebeS continues

[Andrew Baksh]

Yes, no mistaking the plural form in the subject. A second Eared Grebe was
just picked out by Tom Burke.

>From the Point Lookout side Tom, Gail and I are looking at them from the
eastern most jetty inside Jones Inlet.
