[nysbirds-l] LI Central Suffolk CBC Results
Held under cloudy skies, and relatively warm mid-40 degree temps, on Friday, Dec.27, 2019, the Central Suffolk CBC had 43 field participants, and 115 species, with one species listed for Count Week (Pipits). This was pretty much the average species total since the beginning of this Count Circle, which began Jan.1, 1954, with 5 participants. Highlights for this year’s Count included: A High Count of Wild Turkey (158), Turkey Vulture (17), Bald Eagle (10), and Eastern Bluebird (64) as well as a Circle Second - Thick-billed Murre. One Snowy Owl, a Yellow-breasted Chat, 150 Razorbills, and 6 Saw-whet Owls were also seen by our keen observers! The Central Suffolk CBC covers the geographic area of EPCAL/Calverton/Riverhead, Westhampton Beach, Eastport, Cupsogue and Smith Point County Parks, and the Yaphank area. Scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 27, 2020, we welcome any new participants to the Count. Hopefully the 13 new Team Members will join us again next year! Our First Compilation Dinner was also held this year, and it was enjoyed by all. Thanks again to all the Central Suffolk Participants!

[nysbirds-l] Breezy Point, Queens County Razorbills ++
Doug Gochfeld and I visited Breezy Point mid-morning in mild and relatively windless conditions. Visibility was excellent and surface conditions on the bay and ocean were glass-like. The lack of wind allowed for some good ear birding as well and there were plenty of lingering half-hardies. Highlights include: 9 Razorbill 2 Red-necked Grebe 180 Surf Scoter 850 White-winged Scoter 140 Black Scoter 5 Common Eider 1 Bald Eagle (juvenile) 1 Horned Lark 12 Snow Bunting 8 Tree Swallow 3 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 6 Gray Catbird 7 Field Sparrow The full eBird checklist can be viewed here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S63136927 Good Birding, Sean Sime Brooklyn, NY -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

Re: [nysbirds-l] Long Island: Origins of banded Glaucous Gull at Shinnecock Inlet?
I have an update to the banded Glaucous Gull seen on Saturday near Shinnecock Inlet, Suffolk County. Vernon Buckle put me in touch with some of the Canadian researchers doing work in Nunavut in the Canadian Arctic, and today I received this reply “That is one of the glaucous gull chicks we banded this summer at Coats Island (82.01 W, 62.95 N). We banded it on 1 Aug 2019, when it was 15 days old. Nice to learn that it has survived, especially since it was one of the later nests in the colony this year.” Thanks to all involved, especially Lisa Nasta, who noticed the band, and John Gluth, Ken Thompson and Pat and Shai for also photographing and keeping track of the bird. Also Rich Guthrie, Angus Wilson and Doug Gochfeld for background info they provided. Angus nailed the location- Nunavut Mike Cooper Ridge, NY .

[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park Veery: Brooklyn Greenie + Gulling Goodies...
Yesterday found me in the city running errands and I dropped into Bryant Park
because why not and I just so happened (ahem) to have my bins with me.
I happened upon another birder, Maha Katnani, and together we birdied the park.
The highlights included: a couple of Catharus’; one was a slam dunk Hermit
Thrush. My first impression in the field of the other Catharus was of a VEERY.
However, I talked myself out of the ID and considered other possibilities.
After reviewing the photos Maha took and soliciting input from others, I am
satisfied with my initial assessment. Peter Pyle, who is always clutch has aged
it as a 1st year bird.
The Other Bryant Park notables were a female COMMON YELLOWTHROAT and Maha
re-found the continuing American Woodcock.
Today, I decide to get in on the Brooklyn Gull frolic at Brooklyn Bridge Park
that Doug Gochfled so eloquently described and I was not disappointed.
After getting a quick but long enough views for digiscoped photos of the
continuing PAINTED BUNTING, I turned my attention to Gull vigil, spending most
of my time near the pilings just west of Pier 1.
It was slow in the beginning. Luckily, I was entertained for a while by an
adult BONAPARTE’s GULL. Shortly after, I picked up the adult BLACK-HEADED GULL.
Later, as I spoke with others about possibly also seeing Doug’s ICELAND GULL, I
picked one out - a juvenile in the back of the Gull flock in the fading light.
It was a lot of fun and I wished I had more time for the Ring-billed Gulls but
that is play for another day.
Cheers,

others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." ~ Frederick
