[nysbirds-l] A (5) Swallow Day in May...gloves needed by some "seniors" !

[robert adamo]

Once again, on a Thursday morning, I found myself at Hempstead Lake State
Park, taking part in the weekly bird-walk sponsored by the South Shore
Audubon Society. This morning's meander drew a large crowd of approximately
25 "happy campers", who were made even happier as the walk progressed.
While the raw weather kept bird species and numbers down, the sociability
of the "moving mass" more than made up for the discomfort, in most cases. !
As mentioned in the "Subject-line", some of us needed a tad more than most
of the other birders, in order to counter the effects of poor
circulation...good conversation and anecdotes can only go so far !

Not surprisingly , all the Swallows were first seen over water, with Bank,
Tree, Cliff and Barn feeding over the South Pond, while N.Rough-winged was
encountered over MacDonald's Pond. We then were reluctant to leave this
location in case a Purple Martin decided to show up, and I even had the
idea to offer a $6.00 bonus for the first person to find one...but I
chickened out ! In addition to the Bank and Cliff Swallows, Great Crested
Flycatcher, E.Kingbird and Ovenbird were FOY species for me.

Stops at Tangle-wood Preserve in Rockville Centre and Cow Meadow Park in
Freeport  produced a Male Orchard Oriole and a Green Heron respectively !
These birds were a product of the "sociability" mentioned above !

Cheers,
Bob

Re: [nysbirds-l] Heavy Nocturnal Flight Binghamton Airport Last Night

[Peter Reisfeld]

This observation by David  may help explain the migration/radar disconnect we 
have been observing. Perhaps when birds migrate under cloudy conditions, they 
are more likely to fly low and therefore escape detection by radar. 

Happy spring birding

[nysbirds-l] Last Night's migrants

[Richard Guthrie]

I heard there was a substantial flight of migrants last night.

Given the low ceiling with off and on drizzle, I wonder if there was a
major fallout here and there.

Also - related to one of the unfortunate consequences of these conditions;
I wonder if concerned folks might have checked local mortality sites such
as tall buildings, light scatter arenas (parking lots, malls), radio/cell
towers, etc. for collision casualties. Regrettable as they are, any data
derived from those sites could be significant and desired by appropriate
repositories. Among other "benefits", documenting these occurrences would
bolster arguments for proper siting or denial of similar facilities.

For future reference, folks might check with nearby museums,
university/college, or licensed rehabilitator to pre-arrange a proper
protocol for follow-up.

[nysbirds-l] Last Night's migrants

[Richard Guthrie]

I heard there was a substantial flight of migrants last night.

Given the low ceiling with off and on drizzle, I wonder if there was a
major fallout here and there.

[Rob Bate]

A Caspian tern continues to drop in at the lake in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. 
Mile Yuan spotted it this morning and tweeted in time for me to get on it.

[nysbirds-l] Heavy Nocturnal Flight Binghamton Airport Last Night

[David Nicosia]

I got finished by with work at 11 pm last evening and
in the parking lot before I got into my car I heard a
"stream" of chips, zips, zeets and zeeps! I listened for about
5 minutes and it was constant. There were at least 3 SOLITARY
SANDPIPERS that flew by. Additionally, I was surprised to hear
a BARN SWALLOW and right before I left
an early SWAINSON'S THRUSH!! The birds were very low
as cloud ceilings has dropped to a few hundred feet
and there was a heavy drizzle falling.

When I arrived at home which is at 1300 feet a few hundred
feet lower than the airport I still could hear the chips, zips
and zeeps etc but they were higher up. I listened for
several more minutes and heard one more SOLITARY
SANDPIPER but nothing else than I could ID. The radar
shows modest echoes at this time.
