[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Queens Co. Godwits, Phalarope +

[Andrew Baksh]

First, many thanks to all of you who continue to post to the list serve. 

I finally got out to the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge this 
afternoon and enjoyed some of the recent good birds. Both Godwit species 
continue along with the Wilson’s Phalarope.

In addition, I also had a Long-billed Dowitcher (not sure if this was reported 
already). The bird was first detected north of “Dead Man’s Cove”, then south of 
the cove and again much later observed north of the cove with birder Peter Paul.

Multiple White-rumped and Western Sandpipers continue. The latter numbers are 
up as expected. Still a good number of juvenile Semipalmated Sandpipers around.

Several juvenile Stilt Sandpipers (13) along with a single Pectoral Sandpiper 
brought the total shorebird species count to 15.

14 Skimmers taking a bath on the pond was also notable. 

Late in the afternoon a mixed flock of Swallows, swarmed the pond. The light 
had then begun to fade so I could not spend enough time sorting through the lot 
as well as I would have liked.

For those of you interested. Here is a link to a few phonescoped images of the 
Long-billed Dowitcher.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay.

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) started at the South end of the East Pond. There 
is a flat that you can walk out on. In the water, 25 + SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS 
were feeding in the water close up. Mixed in and a bit on the periphery were 2 
WESTERN SANDPIOPERS and 4 WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS. On the mud flat just beyond 
were 3 LEAST SANDPIPERS. There were 10 BLUE-WINGED TEAL aways back  in the 
water. Other species but no Godwits seen, so we left for the North end.

It’s underwater. Knee boots required. STILT SANDPIPER and 3 SHORT-BILLED 
DOWITCHERS feeding at the entrance. The HUDSONIAN GODWIT (they’re large) can be 
seen from the entrance with a scope. Joe walked up to the cove where the 
Godwits were (12-15-inches deep in places) and saw the WILSON’S PHALAROPE.  No 
Marble this morning.

[nysbirds-l] Hudsonian Godwits, Wilson’s Phalarope, Caspian Terns - Jamaica Bay, Queens County

[Timothy Healy]

The pair of Hudsonian Godwits, the lone Wilson’s Phalarope, and a trio of 
Caspian Terns (seemingly two adults and a juvenile) are all currently visible 
from the north end of Jamaica Bay’s East Pond. Scope views from the end of the 
platform at the phragmites edge are distant and backlit but identifiable. You 
need mid-calf boots, at minimum, to walk any further than that, but it’s 
possible to make it further south without much trouble. The godwits are feeding 
actively, fairly far out from the shoreline. As others mentioned on eBird, the 
way they flick their bills up out of the water when they forage is a helpful 
“tell” even at a distance, along with their size and silhouette. The Phalarope 
is working close to the shoreline between the north end and Dead Man’s Cove, 
dashing around like a maniac. The terns are loafing close to one another along 
the shoreline side of the more distant gull flock. Scanning from right to left 
you should pick them up pretty quickly. 

Cheers!

[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots: State, Counties & Locations Updated (Sep/'18)

[Ben Cacace]

Thanks to @Team_eBird for their dedication to keeping eBird.org running
smoothly and for the group of New York State hotspot moderators for their
time reviewing shared location suggestions.

The wiki page site was developed to access data on eBird.org and in places
it includes additional links to birding resources at the county and
location levels. If you have any suggestions for additional links please
send them to me off list.

All County pages currently have links for the *Illustrated Checklists* and
links to both *Images and Audio from the Macaulay Library*.

Species totals have been updated for all county pages. This includes the
total number of species with an equivalent color code highlighting the
county name based on colors used on eBird maps. The alphabetical list of
counties on the main page has been updated with total spp. #.

*Hotspot pages*: All location pages have been updated on the wiki. These
include 926 pages representing a total of 1,906 out of 6,280 hotspots
(30.4%). Updates involve # of species and color codings based on species #
along with updated 2018 periods on the bar chart tables displaying the:

• Current Month: Sep./2018
• Prior Month: Aug./2018
• the current two month period Aug.-Sep./2018
• along with the current year: 2018

For the following counties there are individual 'dynamic' wiki pages for
the Top 10+ locations at the top of the list of shared locations: Cayuga,
Erie, Monroe, Niagara, Orange, Oswego, Seneca, Tompkins, Kings (Brooklyn),
Queens, Richmond (Staten Island), Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Westchester
and New York (Borough of Manhattan) Counties have all shared locations
linked to wikipages.

Counties with 'static' pages do not need to be maintained on a monthly
basis. These include pages for the Top 10+ locations and includes Albany,
Bronx, Broome, Chautauqua, Clinton, Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Essex,
Genesee, Greene, Hamilton, Jefferson, Livingston, Madison, Oneida,
Onondaga, Ontario, Orleans, Rensselaer, Rockland, St. Lawrence, Saratoga,
Sullivan, Ulster & Wayne with Putnam County currently having all shared
locations linked to wikipages.

An alphabetical list of all hotspots (6,280) can be found on a single page.
Links exist for any hotspot with a wikipage. Clicking the county name to
the right of any hotspot will bring up the county page showing all county
hotspots. A link to the alphabetical list page is at the bottom of this
message. There is a link to the page at the top of the New York State page.

*Bar Charts (Species Lists)*: For all county and Top 10+ location pages
there's a table showing the months, seasons and several time frames for the
current year. Clicking any of these links will bring up a complete list of
species and other taxa with bar charts representing abundance. To see a
list of species for *all* periods click on the name above the months i.e.
'New York State (489 spp.)' or 'New York County (324 spp.)'.

*Maps of sightings*: After bringing up a bar chart list you'll see a MAP
button to the right of each species. Clicking this will produce a map of
the latest sightings. Red icons show sightings within the past 30 days.
Click on the icons to see a list of who reported each species and click on
'Checklist' to view their submission. Click on 'Explore Rich Media' in the
right sidebar to view locations with photos, audio or video. These also
exist for any multi-location page combining the hotspots associated with
the location i.e. Niagara Falls State Park in Niagara County with its 4
locations.

*Printable Checklists*: a link has been created to produce an eBird
checklist (PDF format) for all hotspots on the wiki site. Additional
details are in this email sent to the list <
https://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/msg20153.html >.

Tide Graphs exist for *New York County*, *Kings County (Brooklyn)* and
*Richmond
County (Staten Island)*. There's a quick link to the tide graphs on the "Go
To >" line highlighted in blue for each location. If there are multiple
graphs on a page the left/right is generally north/south or west/east. If
you spot any issues please let me know off line.

Click '*Overview*' on any of the wiki pages to bring up a sortable list of
all species along with the latest checklists submitted and a list of the
Top eBirders. The default sort is for the latest additions to the State,
County or location.

Check out '*My Location Life List*', '*My County Life List*' and '*My State
Life List*' links to bring up your details on the respective pages.

For each location page click on '*Google Map Directions*' to bring up a
Google Map page. On Google Maps click 'Directions' then 'Transit' to plot a
public transportation route. By clicking 'More Options and Times' you can
refine your search. This also works with 'Driving' and 'Walking'.
