[nysbirds-l] Clarke's Grebe Oswego Harbor, Oswego County NY...

[Andrew Baksh]

Thanks Menachem for the earlier post.

Here are some additional details on the Clarke's Grebe initially identified as 
Western which was reported at Oswego Harbor this morning. See report from the 
Oneida list serve below.

http://birding.aba.org/mobiledigest/NY08#1245338

Later on, other birders obtained enough documentation that appears to rule out 
Western. See the eBird checklist link with photos and vocalizations.

[nysbirds-l] Clark's Grebe Oswego Harbor

[Menachem Goldstein]

The large grebe which was earlier reported to ebird as a Western Grebe is now 
thought to be a Clark's Grebe per Tim Lenz and Brad Walker!  This appears to be 
the First State Record!
Hope it sticks!
Menachem

[nysbirds-l] South Fork birds (and bats)

[Bruce Horwith]

The black guillemot and iceland gull continue at Lake Montauk. I didn't
find the black-headed or little gull at Ditch Plains, but there were 3
purple sandpipers in with the sanderlings. But the highlight for me was
seeing a bat, presumably a little brown bat, working the insects over a
small pond in my yard in East Hampton. This was the first time I have seen
one here so active during the day, and by far the earliest bat activity I
have seen out here.

[nysbirds-l] Additional South Shore birds

[Tim Healy]

The American Bittern at JFK Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary continues. It flushed 
from a channel away from the lot and flew towards the roadside marsh. Jones had 
a nice spread of expected winter species, including three Razorbills off the 
end of the jetty. I caught up with Harlequin Ducks at Point Lookout, though 
they were apparently at Jones before a dramatic raptor-on-raptor battle nearby 
sent them fleeing. Cedar Beach Marina was mostly quiet, but the male 
Boat-tailed Grackles are displaying. 

Cheers!

[nysbirds-l] Oak Beach Barrow's Goldeneye - Yes

[Tim Healy]

The female Barrow's Goldeneye continues near the Sore Thumb with her Common 
cousins. No eiders in sight and no grebes other than a lone Horned. A nice 
consolation prize was the chance to record vocalizing Red-throated Loons. I'd 
never heard them call before, even when I've seen individuals in breeding 
range! More searching and reports to follow. 

Cheers!
