[nysbirds-l] Oct 23-24 Brooklyn Pelagic Still Too Short to Sail

2015-10-14 Thread Paul Guris 
We are still short of the number of participants we need to make this a
break even trip.  We're so stoked to get out at this time of year that I
and the leaders are willing to pay for our own slots just to get the trip
to sail.  Our cutoff date from the captain is next Thursday so we've got
one week to get enough to go!

There is an amazing temperature break out near the tip of the Hudson Canyon
that can be seen on this chart.

http://marine.rutgers.edu/cool/sat_data/show/?file=../../regions/nybight/sst/noaa/2015/img/151012.285.2125.n18.jpg

Tuna are in the area in good numbers which means that there is a lot of
life.  A recent fishing / birding trip on a private boat found both Manx
and Audubon's Shearwaters, Red Phalarope, Pomarine Jaeger, as well as other
common species.  Our plan is to bird the waters of the Hudson Canyon, some
of the flats outside the canyon where the tuna boats are chumming, and
around any scallop draggers we can find.

This is a highly underexplored time of year in our area and one of the few
trips we ran in the past found North America's second record of Cape Verde
Shearwater!  Interestingly we seem to find more nominate Cory's Shearwater
candidates at this time of year as well.  Interestingly, both of these
species leave their breeding grounds at around the same time.

The trip is an overnighter running approximately 18 hours, leaving Friday
night at 10:30 PM and returning Saturday afternoon around 4:30 PM.  The
cost is $220.  The Brooklyn VI is approximately 100' long, can cruise at
17-18 knots, and has a galley so you can get a hot breakfast and lunch.

To sign up or if you have any questions, please call or email us.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Western Kingbird at West End 2 - Jones Beach

2015-10-14 Thread Shaibal Mitra 
With this proven second Western Kingbird (at Jones Beach while a bird was 
demonstrably present at Robert Moses SP), it is worth considering the 
possibility that more than one individual has been involved in the observations 
at RMSP dating back to 1 October.

I've been working with a student, Lucinda Zawadzki, on studying the timing and 
stopover durations of fall vagrant Western Kingbirds and would be interested in 
confirming or refuting the continuity of a single individual at RMSP 1 Oct to 
present. Several people have sent me photos from the last three days at RMSP, 
but I'd appreciate links or jpegs from earlier dates.

[nysbirds-l] Western Kingbird Continues at Robert Moses State Park (Suffolk Co.)

2015-10-14 Thread Ken Feustel 
The previously reported Western Kingbird was observed this morning in the 
picnic area west of RMSP Field 2. Since we were not actively looking for the 
bird, we naturally found it in two additional locations - the golf course just 
south of the club house and an hour later perched in a shrub at the volleyball 
courts. Also present was a Clay-colored Sparrow in the picnic area feeding on 
the panic grass with Savannah Sparrows, and an immature Red-headed Woodpecker 
flying down the median opposite the Field 2 entrance. Additionally, we observed 
a flyby Wilson’s Snipe along the four-wheel drive road at first light.
