[nysbirds-l] Pelham Bay Gull / Red-shouldered Hawks

[Steve Walter]

On my way to the hawk watch at Greenwich Audubon Center, I stopped off at
Pelham Bay Park this morning to look for the Black-headed Gull. I quickly
spotted a noticeably smaller gull among a few Ring-bills in the southwest
corner of the parking lot. I was unaware of the age of the reported
Black-headed, so I assumed this first winter bird was it. But while looking
at it and getting a few photographs, it didn't look right for a Black-headed
(and I later found out that the Black-headed is an adult). What this bird
had was a suggestion of a hood, which along with its smaller size, put
thoughts of Franklin's in my mind. But the hood was not pronounced enough
and the mantle color was too light. The bill on this bird is darkish with
some reddish on the lower mandible (so wrong for Ring-billed of any age).
The legs are not black, as would be expected in young Franklin's or
Laughing, but too dark for Black-headed or Ring-billed. My guess is that
this is indeed a hybrid, but not Laughing x Ring-billed. The smaller size of
the bird and it head shape suggest to me that one of the parents could be a
Black-headed. But your guess is as good as mine. A couple of pictures have
been posted at my web site http://stevewalternature.com/ (click the Birds
tab, then Recent Work). 

 

Then it was off to the hawk watch, which turned out to be a very good move.
It was an amazing day for November. The final tally at Quaker Ridge
(Greenwich) was 577, headlined by 260 Red-shouldered Hawks. That is an
all-time daily record for the northeast. Yea, I know it's Connecticut, but
those birds are just a couple of minutes away from entering New York.
Chestnut Ridge (Butler Sanctuary), a few files to the north and in New York,
tallied 167 Red-shoulders. The moral here is that there's actually a good
news story being told by migration watching. There has been quite in
increase in Red-shouldered Hawks breeding in the northeast last few years.
One would not have thought to do this as recently as five years ago, but you
can now plan your hawk watching around Red-shouldered Hawks. Today bore that
out with an epic day.

[nysbirds-l] Sands Point Preserve & nearby area; Bald Eagle, American Pipit, etc

[GQ]

Finally, on October 35th, it felt like fall this morning in the Sands Point 
Preserve. It was about 44 degrees at 8AM and their was quite a bit of migratory 
movement. I didn’t see anything outstanding but did pick up some fall birds 
that I had missed up to this point.
There was a big push of Dark-eyed Junco and American Robin, about 125+ juncos 
and 450+ robins. A Field Sparrow and a Fox Sparrow were the best examples of 
sparrows. 3 Winter Wren and a Blue-headed Vireo were also found. About 25 
Golden-crowned Kinglets but only 3 or so Ruby-crowned.
A small Merlin and a small Peregrine Falcon were driving the robins and others 
crazy. Overhead, there were small flocks of true migratory Canada Geese way, 
way up there. Also, I found a flock of 10 Black Ducks heading north very high 
up; not used to seeing them way up there.
A few White-winged Scoters, 3 Red-breasted Mergansers, 1 each of Red-throated  
and Common Loon on LI Sound. Also, 3 or 4 Common Loons migrating overhead.

After, I walked down to Prospect Point (west of the preserve) where I found an 
immature Bald Eagle fairly high up and 8 American Pipits on the beach.

Later, at my mother’s house on Manhasset Bay (Port Washington; Nassau), I found 
a single Forster’s Tern; a little late for the north shore.

Cheers,

Re:[nysbirds-l] nysbirds-l digest: November 04, 2017

[carl safina]

Brown Booby was in Montauk Nov 4, on pole of channel marker 11 in the East
Lake. Visible from Star Island Rd and the Montauk Yacht Club at around 1:30
pm. It was not there when we looked from the road, when we went to the Yacht
Club for a different view of the harbor, it had just arrived back on the
pole.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Black-headed Gull Pelham Bay Park Bronx

[Andrew Baksh]

Posting again since the bird was flushed by off leashed dogs and went missing 
for a bit. I relocated it in the Lagoon. It has since frequented the parking 
lot but keeps moving around due to the increased weekend vehicular traffic. 
Last observed sleeping in the Orchard Beach parking lot.

Also of note for the Bronx. I had a sitting Bonaparte's Gull on the beach 
earlier. Usually, the few I have seen here were all flybys.

Additionally, Steve Walter showed me a photo of a Gull he photographed in the 
lot this AM. From the camera screen this bird looked like something between a 1 
CY Ring-billed and Laughing Gull.  I did not spend any length of time on 
studying the photo but  imagine if it turns out to be a Franklin's Gull. I 
expect Steve will review his photos and provide an update later.

I kept an eye out for Steve's bird but never connected with it. Birders 
twitching the Black-headed Gull or just in the area should keep a lookout for 
Steve's bird.

Cheers,

The Black-headed Gull continues this AM. Currently, at Orchard Beach.

[nysbirds-l] Cattle Egrets - Wellsville, Allegany County

[Willie D'Anna]

There have been several Cattle Egret reports popping up in New York and
Ontario the past few days. Besides the three birds seen in Albion in Orleans
County yesterday, a remarkable 20 individuals were found in ball fields in
Wellsville, Allegany County. This checklist has a photo of only one bird but
the observer sent me photos, taken by another birder, that show 14
individuals in one frame: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S40286609

 

This is a record count, by far, for the Buffalo Region and I wonder if there
have been higher counts elsewhere in New York, away from coastal areas
(where I know there have been higher counts). And how many more are out
there, waiting to be found?

 

Good birding!

Willie

We have just been informed that the bird initially identified as a Baird's
Sandpiper at Jones Beach West End on Friday (yesterday) has been
re-identified as the more expected White-rumped Sandpiper.
