[nysbirds-l] Pelham Bay Park - Black-headed Gull, Dickcissel 11/2

[Richard Aracil]

Hi All,


The Black-headed Gull found this morning by Deborah and Bob was seen again on 
the Orchard Beach parking lot around 4:30 pm. Hopefully it will stick around.  
Also of note, near the NW corner of the lot, a Dickcissel was briefly seen.

[nysbirds-l] Pelham Bay Park birds

[Andrew Block]

Since Debbie and Bob posted a list of what they saw I won't do a whole list 
just to say I saw most of what they saw except the gull and a few others, plus 
some not on their list.  I also had an Orange-crowned Warbler (maybe the same 
one) near where the entrance trail into the woods is in the northwestern corner 
of the lot by the fishing access path, where the poplars are.  Had a Cooper's 
Hawk over Turtle Cove.  The Dunlin and Laughing Gulls were still in the puddle 
in the lot when I left and the yellowlegs were in the small cove to the right 
of Hunter Island.  At Bartow-Pell I had two Field and one Chipping Sparrow in 
with all the Songs next to the mansion.  Saw the Osprey catch some kind of long 
narrow fish.  Of course I missed the Nelson's Sparrows again at both the cove 
and at Bartow-Pell.

[nysbirds-l] Heckscher SP

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta & I (Sy Schiff) reacted to a call and returned to Heckscher after 
yesterday’s visit arriving about !:30. The HUDSONIAN GODWIT  was in the puddle 
with a LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER  and DUNLIN in a neat grouping. And they 
immediately flew off. The Godwit circled and landed close to where we were 
parked. And then it flew off towards Field #6. Almost all the remaining 
shorebirds flew off with it. Staying, were a few Greater Yellowlegs, Dunlin and 
a pair of SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS.  The latter were carefully checked for 
Western Sandpiper, more common at this late date.

At Field #6, there were both GREATER and LESSER YELLOWLEGS, and KILLDEER.  
Ducks included MALLARD, BLACK, female PINTAIL, GREEN AND BLUE-WINGED TEAL. We 
returned to Field #7 on the way home and the Godwit had again returned. 
Patience required.

[nysbirds-l] Hudsonian Godwits at Heckscher State Park (Suffolk Co.)

[Ken Feustel]

Three Hudsonian Godwits made an appearance at the Field 7 pools this morning. I 
am unsure who found them originally, but they were probably present as early as 
9;00AM. The three godwits were a beaten and battered bunch, with one bird 
having a sizable tumor on his head and another on his leg. A second bird had a 
bad leg that he could barely walk on, choosing to sit down in the parking lot 
when he was not feeding. I was originally notified of the birds presence while 
at West End when a photographer said that he had seen a "Long-billed Dowitcher” 
with tumors on his body. Having seen that species a few times at Heckscher this 
Fall I did not rush off. Thankfully, a call from Doug Futuyma alerting me to 
the godwits presence (thanks Doug!) found me watching the waterfowl at the 
Field 6 picnic area puddle and a quick drive over to Field 7 produced the three 
godwits. Field 7 was very active, with cars coming and going frequently. In a 
short time two of the godwits flew off heading west, while the bird with the 
bad leg stayed.

Also present were a continuing Lesser Yellowlegs (1, Field 6 picnic area), 
Long-billed Dowitcher (1), American Golden Plover(2), and a late juvenile 
Semipalmated Sandpiper. I will post a few photos of the godwits later on my 
flick site.

Cheers,

[McIntyre, Annie M (PARKS)]

When I was there about an hour ago, there was one left (a second had just 
flown). The remaining has a bad leg, though it can fly well.
