Re:[nysbirds-l] NNYBirds: Petition to list Bicknell's Thrush under the ESA declined

[Dana Rohleder]

Joan,

I feel your pain. I am afraid this administration is likely to inflict 
irreparable harm on the environment. This is likely a prelude to what is 
to come.

[nysbirds-l] Petition to list Bicknell's Thrush under the ESA declined

[Joan Collins]

All,

 

This Washington Post piece,  Interior Department rejects 25 endangered
species petitions, including several linked to climate change, may be of
interest:

 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/10/05/interio
r-department-rejects-25-endangered-species-petitions-including-several-linke
d-to-climate-change/?utm_term=.0cdb7818d1eb

 

The petition to list Bicknell's Thrush was made in 2010 and after 7 years
waiting for the decision, it was rejected by the Interior Department.

 

I'd like to post the reaction that I loudly vented to my husband, but none
of it would be allowed on the lists.  I'm beyond furious.

Hello all,

I've just spotted a juvenile Sabine's Gull flying over a group of
Double-crested Cormorants out in the open water. It then flew over toward
the Lake Champlain Bridge. Good luck if you re for it.

Enjoy Birds,

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay East Pond 10-6

[Andrew Baksh]

It appeared all of the Fuestel's Shorebirds that would not land the day before 
(see Ken's post from 10-5 as to the probable reasons why) happened to drop in 
on the pond for me. In just over 4 hours on the East Pond yesterday, I managed 
14 species of Shorebirds - better than some of my August surveys.

The highlights were: American Avocet (continuing), Hudsonian Godwit, American 
Golden Plovers (2), Stilt Sandpipers (9) and indisputably my best sighting 
yesterday was, 41 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS. I was counting them while standing on 
the east side of the pond (they were all stacked up on the west side on the 
north end) and I had to do a few counts to ensure that I was not seeing things. 
 I am quite sure that elsewhere on the pond there could have been a few more 
that I missed.  41 Pectoral Sandpipers are my highest ever on the pond. 
Perhaps, now that the pond is "properly" drained, we may see these drop ins if 
the weather and migration winds favor such events.

Other notable birds on the pond include the continuing 3 Caspian Terns. I have 
not looked at photos closely enough to determine if these are the same trio 
that have been around awhile but it is interesting to note the numbers of 
Caspians around in Queens this year.

The Eurasian Wigeon along with American Pipits rounded out the other notables. 
Duck numbers continue to grow and I am sure I undercounted the Green-winged 
Teals.

I have been quite the slacker on posting to my blog due to working on multiple 
projects at the same time. Many posts are in draft mode waiting to be 
finalized. I did however managed to whip up a short post with photos from 
yesterday's outing for those interested.
