[nysbirds-l] Ulster/Dutchess (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count results

[forsythnature]

  

  









Greetings All and Happy New Year,
 
  TheUlster/Dutchess (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count was conducted on Wednesday, 
December28 2016 and celebrated it's 6th anniversary.  This circle is centered 
in Ulster County (Glasco) and contains portions of Ulster,Dutchess,Columbia, 
and a very small area of Greene counties. Conditions were moderate to favorable 
forthe 45 birders in 13 field parties and two feeder watchers covering the 
NYUD'sten sectors who contributed to this year's count.  16,076 individual 
birds representing 80 species wereidentified on count day plus five count week 
species. The 80 species tallied resulted in our second lowest effort (78 
species in 2013; 85 species average on previous five counts) andthe individuals 
number fell below the average (18,314 on previous five counts).
 
  The temperatures hovered around freezing at the start of our nocturnal effort 
with a few random snow flakes falling.  When the sun did peer out through the 
mostly cloudy skies temperatures closed in on forty degrees mid-day.  Snow 
cover was no more than a few inches and that was limited to sheltered and/or 
shaded areas within the CBC circle.  The existence of ice was a bit more 
challenging and even kept those of us nursing broken ribs out of certain 
trails. The Hudson River was open and still while smaller bodies of water where 
iced over.  River tributaries where open in faster moving portions.  
 
  One species, a Palm Warbler in Sector D was documented on the NYUD checklist 
for the first time this year.  With this addition the NYUD CBC composite is now 
at 120 species after six years.  Other notable observations included 8 Merlins, 
17 Eastern Screech Owls, and a Rusty Blackbird in Sector G.  Another positive 
note was the healthy presence of Sharp-shinned Hawks which matched their bigger 
cousins on count day with 14.  Although no real rarity occurred on count day a 
high number for 13 species was a pleasant result. Disappointingly no winter 
finches made an appearance on count day or during the count week period.  All 
parties also noticed sparrow numbers to be markedly lower than in previous 
counts without any "special" sparrow showing on count day.  Count Week birds 
this year included Wood Duck, Lesser Scaup, Double-crested Cormorant, Peregrine 
Falcon, and Chipping Sparrow.
 
  Thanks again toall the participants (as listed below) who helped make this 
year's NYUD CBCanother successful day in the field and a special thanks again 
to Steve Chorvasfor the mentoring, data input, and organizing skills.  Thanks 
also to all those who brought along food and drink to another well-attended 
compilation at the Hasbrouck Park stone building in Kingston especially my wife 
Kyla Haber who tended to an ailing husband, battled her own illness, and cooked 
a whole boat load of food.


Best regards and hopes for a bird-filled New Year,

Re: [nysbirds-l] False Alarm - Potential Harris's Sparrow

[Pat Palladino]

After better looks, it appears to be an oddly colored White-throated Sparrow 
with a black throat.

[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots: New/Renamed Shared Locations (27-Dec-2016)

[Ben Cacace]

Thanks to @Team_eBird for their dedication keeping eBird.org running
smoothly and for the group of New York State hotspot moderators for working
on shared location suggestions.

New and renamed shared locations (hotspots) have been updated for the 62
county wiki pages. You can find a summary of the changes below with
clickable links where a dedicated hotspot (shared location) page exists.

These links now appear on the home page (see below) on the line 'Shared
Location Updates' so you don't have to refer back to this email:

http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/NewHotspots
http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/RenamedHotspots

Other changes made:
- The *Central Park* (New York County) locations have been sorted from
North to South then from from West to East
- *Putnam County* & *Bronx County* now have pages for the Top 10 locations.
Those counties outside the Top 15 by total spp. will have a format which
doesn't need periodic updating of spp. totals, color codings and bar chart
URLs for the current periods.

*Home page:*

[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots: New/Renamed Shared Locations (27-Dec-2016)

[Ben Cacace]

Thanks to @Team_eBird for their dedication keeping eBird.org running
smoothly and for the group of New York State hotspot moderators for working
on shared location suggestions.

New and renamed shared locations (hotspots) have been updated for the 62
county wiki pages. You can find a summary of the changes below with
clickable links where a dedicated hotspot (shared location) page exists.

These links now appear on the home page (see below) on the line 'Shared
Location Updates' so you don't have to refer back to this email:

http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/NewHotspots
http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/RenamedHotspots

Other changes made:
- The *Central Park* (New York County) locations have been sorted from
North to South then from from West to East
- *Putnam County* & *Bronx County* now have pages for the Top 10 locations.
Those counties outside the Top 15 by total spp. will have a format which
doesn't need periodic updating of spp. totals, color codings and bar chart
URLs for the current periods.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Pinelawn Cemetery, Suffolk County

[John Mora]

Ross goose and immature snow goose across from train station this morning at 
10:15, but could not locate barnacle goose - flock dispersed suddenly flying 
towards private golf course.

At golf course two ravens flew west to east.  Three pairs of ring necked ducks 
in golf course pond with ruddy ducks.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Iceland Gulls on Staten Island

[sophiesaid]

 Happy New Year!

I have lived on SI most of my life, but now I am off the Island and traveling 
to visit family today.
I would like to see the Iceland Gulls on Front Street  (if they are still 
around). 
Because my family thinks that I am only visiting them, I would like to make a 
quick pitstop
to bird- and would like to know the cross street and best (quickest) vantage 
point.  If there is a Glaucous, that would be a bonus.
I have both birds in NJ, but need to see them in my (native) NY.  :)

Currently 2 Iceland Gulls on front street in Staten Island. Both young birds 
and one is much paler than the other.
