[nysbirds-l] Ospreys
Three of the four osprey platforms have been occupied by pairs of birds at
Sunken Meadow SP. I'm pretty sure that the fourth one will be occupied too.
A note about the park: Hurricane Sandy had a devastating effect on Sunken
Meadow SP. The land bridge spillway at the east end was completely washed away
with the result that all of the water way up into the western marshes has
become tidal and saline. The shores along the "creek" (or shall I now call it
an estuary) are being dangerously eroded. The path along the south edge of the
"creek" is closed. There are now extensive mudflats at low tide. I don't know
whether this is a good thing or bad. I do know that there are fewer waterfowl
and shorebirds being seen. I have not gotten to the marsh trail; but seeing
all of the trees down, I imagine that the trail is in sorry state. The dump at
the western end of parking field 2 is almost totally filled with woodchips. It
is my understandiing that a footbridge is to be built across the old spillway.
Hopefully, some things may return to normal; at least the ospreys are a good
sign.

[nysbirds-l] Sunken Meadow hermit warbler
The Sunken Meadow hermit warbler was seen as of 2 pm today. It continues to
forage in the grassy area in front of the "no pets year round" sign west of the
flagpole. For those unfamiliar with the park: just drive north on Sunken
Meadow Parkway to the end and park in the northwest corner of parking lot 1.
You can't miss the flagpole, nor hopefully, the bird.

The barnacle goose is back at Sunken Meadow SP. It was with a flock of about 50 canadas just west of the traffic circle in the grassy area.

This was about 300 yards northeast of the boardwalk. -Norm Klein -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] Northern Goshawk
Returning to my car at Sunken Meadow field 3 I had a low flyover northern goshawk. It disappeared into the woody area between the parking lot and the boardwalk. This was yesterday at 3:30 pm.
