[nysbirds-l] Southern Nassau CBC Saturday Jan 2, 2016

[pjlindsay]

Greetings, everyone!

The Southern Nassau County Christmas Bird Count will be held this season 
on Saturday, January 2nd and we look forward to another successful 
count. Last year we recorded 132 species, slightly above average for 
this count, despite a rainy afternoon.

The compilation dinner, always a special occasion, will be at our 
traditional spot--Otto's Sea Grill--located at 271 Woodcleft Avenue in 
Freeport, along the Miracle Mile and very near the Captain Lou boatslips 
where the SeeLife Paulagics trips used to leave from.

The cost for dinner is the same as last year, $28 per person (including 
tax and gratuity). The manager, Derek, remembers fondly that he worked 
these "birdwatcher" parties back in the 80s, and has agreed to hold the 
price at least for this year, despite the heavy increase in insurance 
costs after the storms of recent years.

Dinner includes choice of soup or salad, entree choices of Sliced Skirt 
Steak with Burgundy Mushroom Sauce, Rigatoni ala Vodka, Stuffed Basa 
(like flounder) in Lemon Butter Sauce, and of course, Stuffed Cornish 
Hen. A choice of desserts and coffee/tea is also included.  Please bring 
cash for dinner.

If you have a relatively set routine on this count, please contact your 
party leader to arrange meeting times and coverage duties (see below). 
If you are new to the count or unsure where to go, please contact Pat or 
Shai.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Pat and Shai

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Hawk on Staten Island -Yes

[Isaac Grant]

The bird has showed itself multiple times this afternoon. Came very close once. 
Bird is being seen from the back of the Sanitation Lot that is directly across 
the street from Dick's Sporting Goods on Richmond Avenue. Best to park by 
Dick's  or just north of here in the FedEx parking lot and walk a couple 
minutes south on Richmond Avenue. The sanitation workers have been very 
gracious and we even showed the bird to some. But as per the office please stay 
out of the lot and in the back behind the orange plows.

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Hawk

[Cotingas]

16 December 
12:09 P M
East Mound of the restored landfill just south of  the intersection of  
Richmond Hill Road and Richmond Avenue - NYC Sanitation Department  Depot.  
 

The previously reported  Swainson's Hawk found by Dick Veit yesterday, 
reappeared at 12:09 P M and  soared over the grassy hillside of the east mound 
before retreating back  into the reclaimed landfill. It was observed 
yesterday in the morning and  afternoon flying over the mound.
 

The best place to park is in the Fed Ex parking lot  at Richmond Hill 
Road. Do not drive into the Sanitation Department property and  park there. 
There are large barricades and one can view the east mound and pond  from 
here.

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Hawk seen again

[isaac grant]

After not showing all morning inside the landfill, I just got word from
Howie Fischer that he had the bird exactly where I saw it yesterday across
the street from Dick's Sporting Goods on Richmond Avenue. Seen from the
back of the Sanitation lot.  We are not supposed to be there so be
respectful please if you go.  I went and told the office that this hawk was
being seen and that people may come. I stood off of the lot in the back on
the sand and behind the orange plows so to be completely out of sight and
out of the way.

[nysbirds-l] Lark sparrow

[Larry Trachtenberg]

I have reliable word that lark sparrow has been seen and photographed this a.m. 
at Croton Point (Count week for the Northern Westchester/Peekskill count).
The question now is what bird will Doug G come up with for the Putnam Count on 
January 2 that will, if I may quote him, make people “lose their sh** over.”
