[nysbirds-l] Keene Great Gray - Yes!

2017-03-25 Thread Corey Finger
I arrived at Lime Kilm Road in Keene at about 4PM today to be told by assembled 
Birders that the owl had put on a show for most of the afternoon but had 
disappeared about 20 minutes before I arrived. A two-hour vigil paid off as the 
bird eventually reappeared shortly after six. Though somewhat distant, it gave 
good looks.

Other sightings of note included the previously reported beaver, which 
meandered up a hill, found a nice branch, and dragged it back down the hill; a 
Pileated Woodpecker; and two Red-winged Blackbirds that seemed to have arrived 
while we were there.

Good Birding,

[nysbirds-l] Bohemian Waxwings/Golden Eagle/Snow Buntings/Evening Grosbeaks and more

2017-03-25 Thread Joan Collins
Flocks of Snow Buntings and Bohemian Waxwings have been moving around for
the past week.  Gray Jays are nesting and acting stealthy!  (Several people
have emailed about them being hard to find.  Gray Jays are more secretive in
March and April.)  Many Red-winged Blackbirds and Amer. Crows returned to
the central/northern Adirondacks during the unusually warm weather of
February - a month earlier than usual (and a record-early Killdeer at Crown
Point in Essex Co. on 2/23/17).  Winter returned with the large snowstorm on
3/14.  All in all, there was only about a 3-week stretch of appropriate
snowmobile conditions this winter/spring - down from 5 months or more 20
years ago.  (I might add that a record number of snowmobiles went through
the ice in the Adirondacks too.)  The Adirondack climate continues to
rapidly warm and "winter" is quickly disappearing.

 

March sightings from the past 2 weeks (& a few from late Feb.):

 

3/25/17 Long Lake (Hamilton Co.), Tupper Lake (Franklin Co.), and Massawepie
(St. Lawrence Co.)

 

David Buckley, Piercefield, and I decided to go birding in the Tupper Lake -
Massawepie area today.  On my drive to David's house, I found a Boreal
Chickadee along Route 30 in Long Lake, a Black-backed Woodpecker at the
Round Lake Trailhead on Sabattis Circle Road, 3 Gray Jays at Sabattis Bog,
and 3 flocks of Snow Buntings (2 flocks along Route 30 in Tupper Lake, and 1
flock along Route 3 in Piercefield).  We found a Bald Eagle, an Amer. Robin,
Red-winged Blackbirds, and Common Grackles in Tupper Lake.  At Massawepie
the lakes are still frozen.  We parked where plowing stops - about 1.5 miles
in, and we walked to the Mountaineer Trail on the groomed snowmobile trail.
The Mountaineer Trail had snow drifts so we opted to turn around!  I was
briefly in the Long Lake - Tupper Lake area on 3/24 and found similar
species plus 2 Pine Siskins vocalizing at a feeder in Tupper Lake.

 

3/23/17 Long Lake

 

Gray Jay - 6 (2 along Route 30, 2 at the Round Lake Trailhead along Sabattis
Circle Road, and 2 at Sabattis Bog)

Boreal Chickadee - 2 along Route 30 (These 2 Boreal Chickadees are found
nearly every time I stop at this location to feed Gray Jays, Black-capped
Chickadees, and Red-breasted Nuthatches.  They appear to be flock mates of
the BCCH and RBNU and announce my presence when I get out of the car!)

3/17/17 Long Lake and Tupper Lake

 

Bald Eagle

Gray Jay - 4 (2 Rt. 30, 2 Sabattis Bog)

Bohemian Waxwing - 105 in 2 flocks (1 flock of 25 in a fruit tree in Long
Lake at a house next to the school ballfield, and a flock of ~80 in Tupper
Lake just north of the Skyline Ice Cream stand)

Snow Bunting - 2 flocks in Long Lake

 

3/15/17 Long Lake

 

Golden Eagle - very loudly vocalizing Amer. Crows alerted me to its presence
perched along Sabattis Circle Road!  It took off and soared above the road
for a few minutes - I was even able to take a few flight shots.  The Amer.
Crows were relentless in chasing it away.

Gray Jay - 5 (2 Rt. 30, 3 at the Little Tupper Lake inlet along Sabattis
Circle Road)

Snow Bunting - 1 outside our house (it showed up after the storm and stayed
a few days to eat the cracked corn we put out for Wild Turkeys), and a flock
along Route 30

 

3/14/17 Long Lake (the big storm day - over 30 inches fell at our Long Lake
home)

 

I thought I could go out and back before the snow got bad, but I didn't make
it!  I found a flock of 8 Bohemian Waxwing in a fruit tree in front of the
Long Lake Library in near blizzard conditions.  My camera couldn't cope and
kept trying to focus on the snow!

 

3/13/17 Long Lake

 

Black-backed Woodpecker - female along the Northville-Placid Trail (S) in
Long Lake

Gray Jay - 10 (2 Rt. 30, 4 Round Lake Trailhead, and 4 at Sabattis Bog)

Boreal Chickadee - 2 along Rt. 30

 

3/12/17 Long Lake & trip to Albany on the Northway

 

Turkey Vulture - 2 different birds observed as we headed south on the
Northway

3/11/17 Newcomb

 

Evening Grosbeak - small flock at a feeder outside of Newcomb (I was heading
to a class in Plattsburgh early in the a.m.)

 

On a Feb. 18-19, 2017 tour with 2 birders (1 from NYC and 1 from Long
Island), we spent one day in boreal habitat and one day in the St. Lawrence
Valley.  Here are our sightings by day (40 species):

Earth Hour, a global-community outreach on climate-change, will commence

Central Park, Manhattan - (N.Y. City)

A fresh arrival of spring migrants came along “through the weather-window” 
afforded overnight from late Friday into today. Many were of expected species, 
with Golden-crowned Kinglets in multiple locations, and at least 2 species of 
Warblers showing - Pine - one of the rather expected about now was found in as 
many as 8 locations totaling a minimum of ten individuals, a good arrival, as 
there’d not been nearly that number until today, and Myrtle (aka Yellow-rumped 
in a not-so-old taxon) Warbler, a single of the latter along the eastern part 
of Sheep Meadow, which featured a nice mix of other migrants, not long after 
sunrise.  I can’t fully guesstimate on Pine Warbler no’s. but there were likely 
a dozen+ in Central Park alone on this spring day.

Rusty Blackbirds were seen in several locations: The Pond, The Lake (west 
side), & The Loch. Hard to be sure, as many were well up in trees on this mild 
day, but more than 2 dozen Eastern Phoebes were in today, far more than on any 
prior day this year. Lots and lots of other birders as well, with temperatures 
in “the city that never sleeps” trying hard to be as mild today as the city of 
angels out on the 'left-coast’. With sun as well, many insects were stirring, 
providing sustenance to the phoebes, kinglets, warblers, & other insectivores… 
lots of trees, shrubs & other plants had been budding & some had bloomed (the 
earliest ornamental cherries & azaleas have already been in bloom), while 
others were ‘wise’ to wait, but will soon enough also be showing some true 
spring colors.

A Red-headed Woodpecker that overwintered is still there, in sprightly spring 
plumage now, just west of East 68th Street within the park… vocal at times, as 
well as mobile in that area of the park. All of the 5 other regular woodpecker 
species were seen, although Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was not all that easy to 
find, a few, here & there.  An interesting report for a snipe, seen earlier in 
the day by the Lake - it may well have remained & skulking in some rare-quiet 
spot in the park.  The Red-necked Grebe seen recently & again today at the CP 
reservoir is perhaps not the individual that had been released there, as that 
bird seemed to have moved on. Common Loon was also present, and there have been 
more than one individual in recent weeks stopping in at the reservoir. 

Black-crowned Night-Herons were seen in 3 locations, all somewhat hidden, & a 
Great Blue Heron continued but then moved, from a regular site it’s been 
visiting regularly of late. Great Egret was seen only as a fly-over, very early 
at the north end, a typical expected fly-way for egrets of 2 species as the 
seasons warm up. 

Lingering-ongoing birds in Central included a drake Northern Pintail & at least 
2 Wood Ducks, American Coot, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Brown Thrasher, 2 Eastern 
Towhees, and Swamp Sparrow all at & adjacent to The Pond;  an American Wigeon 
on the Meer in the morning & very late in the day (presumed same individual?) 
at the reservoir, N. Shovelers in numbers on 2 waterbodies & a smattering on 2 
more in the park, 2 Green-winged Teal at the Lake, Hooded Mergansers on 3 
waterbodies, Buffleheads on at least 3 as well, and Ruddy Duck on reservoir and 
Meer. I saw 1 Pied-billed Grebe on the reservoir, two had been present there 
all winter, and some American Coots continue there, as does one at the Meer. A 
female-plumaged merganser on the reservoir may have been a Common, but I did 
not scan closely enough at the time of sighting, & did not see it later - 
although it may have continued, & could have been a red-breasted, from what I 
could see early in the day.

Another Ruby-crowned Kinglet at the lake’s "Upper Lobe” area likely also 
represents an over-winterer that’s been around, and the same of a single & 
plaintively-calling Gray Catbird.

American Robins were about but not quite as numerous as I anticipated, in the 
very high-hundreds, but not

For anyone interested I was able to take a shot of an interesting behavior
Eric Miller pointed out while observing the Red Crossbills. The seemed to
be picking at the bark (for what I am not sure) of a deciduous tree, we
even observed the male feed the female red crossbill.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Red crossbils Edgewood yes

2017-03-25 Thread Long Island Birding
For anyone interested I was able to take a shot of an interesting behavior
Eric Miller pointed out while observing the Red Crossbills. The seemed to
be picking at the bark (for what I am not sure) of a deciduous tree, we
even observed the male feed the female red crossbill.

[nysbirds-l] Riverhead and EPCAL

2017-03-25 Thread leormand
A stop in riverhead at noon produced an Adult Bald Eagle over the County center 
and an Osprey over the River. 

I walked the southwestern portion of EPCAL and had a large flock of robins, 
many eastern bluebirds, a half dozen kestrels, a few eastern meadowlarks, red 
tailed Hawks and a variety of sparrow species. I did not notice any of the 
previously reported rough legged Hawks.

[nysbirds-l] Croton point park

2017-03-25 Thread Larry Trachtenberg
Last Saturday was fox sparrow fest at the Point. today it was Wilson's Snipe 
day  -- I personally saw six (a high count was 9) easily seen and photographed 
from your car window
without, as some w very large lensed cameras did, flushing the birds. Just 
saying. Birds are in mud / puddles on left side of road, between beach and main 
parking area. I also saw of note FOY phoebe, kestrel (M+F), merlin, peregrine 
(adult), bald eagle (2), coop, resident owls, killdeer (12 minimum), flock of 
waxwings, common goldeneye and common  mergs. Unfortunately I missed two horned 
grebe one in breeding plumage seen in hudson river and red breasted merg (far 
less common on this side of the County). osprey reported back on light 
stanchion at train station parking lot. A really cool and unexpected highlight 
was seeing the planes of the French aerobatic aviation team, in the US on tour, 
flying pretty low right past CPP on the way to Statute of Liberty.

[nysbirds-l] Allep Pond Park

2017-03-25 Thread syschiff
Alley Pond Park,  25 Mar

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) parked at the upper lot. The morning started 
overcast, stayed that way, butt warmed up as the day progressed. Small birds 
were few and far between. Our successful target bird were 2 FOY EASTERN PHOEBE. 
We also saw 5 GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS mixed with Tufted Titmice and 
Black-capped Chickadees.

New migrants were probably the flock of mixed blackbirds on the ball field edge 
including: RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD, RUSTY BLACKBIRD, COMMON GRACKLE and  
BROWN-HEADED COWBIRD. We found other Rustles in their usual place by the kettle 
ponds, a total of at least 15 in all for the day.

Raptors included a fly over RED-TAILED HAWK and the continuing resident GREAT 
HORNED OWL.
