Re: [nysbirds-l] Anhinga

[Anne Lazarus]

We saw it today from the bridge at Convent Road looking north at about
8:35. It likes the bare tree to the right of the line of plants in the
back. I am told that is where it likes to often be. I suggest to get there
by 8:30 am. A young man showed us where to look. It also swims and dives.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Question re parking at Breezy Point, Queens

[Anne Lazarus]

We should support Audubon, Linnaean etc in their process to change the
permit parameters. It is not all that easy to buy a fishing permit,  so I
have been told. I had considered buying one. I would like to know how our
supportive organizations are working on this problem. We do pay taxes. I
live in Manhattan. Some of us are nervous to ride bicycles in the street
with all the traffic. I am told we need to wait until April for the new
permit process. I am glad the issue is being brought to a head.

Where do you park the bike? Would it be illegal for it to be in the parking
lot?

Where do you park the bike? Would it be illegal for it to be in the parking
lot?

Gordon just got back to me. Yes, they changed the rules this year, and you
need the permit. Audubon, Linnaean and other groups are fighting this
unjust regulation.  Gordon doubts the new rule can be changed this season.
It also applies to the fisherman`s lot at the hotel area, part of Fort
Tilden. If there is any action to be taken, we will know about it from the
organizations representing us. I know. It is not right. It is also about
money. The fishermen they say are complaining they have no parking space.

I was planning to go, but we cannot.

Maybe one member of the group can drop the others off and then if another
driver in the car. The original driver comes back, and the second driver
gives the first driver a little time on the beach. The rest can go back to
the main area, and then later pick up the original driver., complicated,
but possible, Bird different areas and take turns.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Blue Jay migration

[Anne Lazarus]

Thank you for this fascinating post.  I was mesmerized by these Blue Jays.
A few of us who live in Stuyvesant Town have been birding the complex.  We
are working on protecting vulnerable birds from glass collisions here.  The
management is supportive, and we have hopes.  I saw my only Blackburnian
and Tennessee Warblers in Stuyvesant Town this year.  I am amazed at what
you see in your yard.  We will continue to report.  Thank you once more,
Anne

Re: [nysbirds-l] Birdingwatching In the Time of Covid-19.

[Anne Lazarus]

Thank you Alan, and I will not forget the Golden-winged Warbler.
Stuyvesant Town we have seen 15 warbler species and today a Yellow-billed
Cuckoo was reported by one of my fellow birders there.  What is sad, and I
hope we can stop it, is extensive herbicide cosmetic application.  My
friend is coughing and I feel irritated from it, and I am sure it is toxic
to all life in Stuyvesant Town.  We will try to stop it.  Birding is in
your own backyard.  I have gone to CP, and I drive there.  I have only gone
about 5 times. You can go to other places, but do it carefully.  I spray my
car with Dr. Schulz`s essential oils, quite powerful.  I use his nasal
application, very powerful, his hand cleanser, powerful.  We all spray our
masks with silver or safe disinfectant, and do it more than once.  I
appreciate your posting.

I also wonder about those 5G satellites, which are already interrupting the
weather satellites and large telescopes.  Birds use electric-magnetic

Re: [nysbirds-l] The tale of "Robert the Right", along with the saga of "Robert the Wrong"

[Anne Lazarus]

My friend and I also stayed at the little motel right by, and we saw it
between 7:15 and 7:40 am.  It may be molting into alternate plumage now.
We also birded the Shawangunk Grasslands on the way back and saw
Rough-legged Hawk and Short-eared Owl so far away. We also saw a flock
of Pine Siskins fly by the area where we saw the sparrow in Downsville.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Golden-crowned Sparrow

[Anne Lazarus]

My friend and I saw the Golden-crowned Sparrow today, 1/17/19. It comes
very early and does not stay too long. We stayed in the Downsville Motel
over night, very close to 22 Depot and got there at 7:00 am.  The Sparrow
appeared at about 7:15 am and stayed until about 7:40 am. Some other people
came and at   9:00 am were not seeing it.  It appears to be a very
early-morning bird.  Anne Lazarus

[Anne Lazarus]

Last weekend on the Linnaean S. I. field trip, we saw this spectacle of N.

in the same vicinity.

[nysbirds-l] Belmont Lake and West End Beaches Jones Beach

[Anne Lazarus]

Friday, Feb. 9, 2018, Alice Deutsch and Anne Lazarus saw the Ross`s Goose and 
the Greater White-fronted Goose at Belmont Lake ( off Exit 38
on the Southern State Parkway, L.I. ) We saw geese at about 8:30 am.  We saw 
the Lapland Longspur at the southeast corner of the East wing of 
Parking Lot 2 at the West End parking lots.  It was in some vegetation from the 
Swale that extended as a border in the parking lot.

We saw a few Horned Larks. reported by Anne Lazarus
