[nysbirds-l] 2018 NYUD CBC results
Greetings All, The 2018Ulster/Dutchess (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count was
conducted on Saturday, December29. 49 individuals representing 15 fieldparties
and one feeder watcher covered the ten sectors within this countcircle.
Participants enjoyed moderatewinter temperatures ranging from a high of 52
degrees during the early morning nocturnaleffort to a low of 42 degrees at the
end of the day’s diurnal effort. These conditions (along with a rainy
latefall-early winter) meant water levels were high and void of ice and there
wasno snow cover in the circle. Winds didpick up periodically but did hamper
observation on the Hudson River or otherlarger bodies of water and did not
adversely affect passerine viewing. All field parties did note oddly quite
days withsome common species difficult to locate. This too may reflect on
moderate conditions and the fact that birds werenot forced to congregate on
small patches of open water or exposed ground. Unusual non-avian
observationsincluded a whooping four mustelid species, Wood Frogs and peepers
vocalizing,various active insect species, and a guy washing his car in his
driveway.
88 species and 14,007individual birds were observed on count day. The species
list was two aboveour average but the number of individuals was the second
lowest total in theNYUD’s history and more than four thousand birds below the
count average. A CommonYellowthroat identified at the Great Vly in the Town of
Saugerties was theonly new addition to our composite list which now stands at
127 species after eight years. Otherhighlights included a Gray Catbird and36
Pine Siskins in West Saugertieswith a soaring Golden Eagle and 3 Northern
Saw-whet Owls in KerleyCorners. The Tivoli Bays area served upa good selection
of waterfowl despite the heavy pressure of hunters including aBlue-winged Teal,
9 Northern Pintails,and 28 Canvasbacks. Notable in this sector as well were 12
Eastern Screech Owls and 109 Black Vultures aiding greatly innew high counts
set for both species. TheRhinebeck area may have an exciting development of
colonizing Red-headed Woodpecker with that speciesbeing observed for
consecutive years. The small portion of the Ashokan Reservoir withinour circle
paid dividends with 5 RuddyDucks and a Common Loon while anewly accessible
location in the Town of Ulster offered the count’s lone Common Redpoll and a
sizable flock of 12 White-crowned Sparrows. A ChippingSparrow in the Town of
Ulster rounded out a robust list of 10 sparrowspecies for the count.
Interestingly allthree falcon species were observed but exclusively in
Dutchess County while 55 Bald Eagles were nicely distributedthroughout the
circle. Yellow-rumpedWarbler, Hermit Thrush, Purple Finch, Savannah and Fox
Sparrow were speciesrepresented by just one individual respectively. High
numbers were recorded on 14 species andnew low counts were tallied on 11
species including typical number-paddingspecies like American Crow (less than
half the average) and Dark-eyed Junco (abouta one third the average).
Once again I mustthank Steve Chorvas for his tutelage on CBC compiling and
his patience andunderstanding with the annual barrage of questions I send his
way. His data entry on count day and wonderfulsubsequent spreadsheet make my
job much easier. I must also give a special thanks to Pat and Steve Johnson who
helpedwith preparation of food, set up, and the breakdown of our well attended
(33 NYUDers) post countcompilation. Many others brought deliciousfood and
drink and made our “apps and finger foods” themed get together asuccess.
Lastly, as always, JessProckup, Wendy Tocci, and Kyla DeDea made sure our clean
up was done in a muchappreciated timely and helpful manner. I wish you all a
Bird-filled and Healthy New Year,Mark DeDeaCo-compiler NYUDSAVE THE DATE:

Dutchess County while 55 Bald Eagles were nicely distributedthroughout the
circle. Yellow-rumpedWarbler, Hermit Thrush, Purple Finch, Savannah and Fox
Sparrow were speciesrepresented by just one individual respectively. High
numbers were recorded on 14 species andnew low counts were tallied on 11
species including typical number-paddingspecies like American Crow (less than
half the average) and Dark-eyed Junco (abouta one third the average).
Once again I mustthank Steve Chorvas for his tutelage on CBC compiling and
his patience andunderstanding with the annual barrage of questions I send his
way. His data entry on count day and wonderfulsubsequent spreadsheet make my
job much easier. I must also give a special thanks to Pat and Steve Johnson who
helpedwith preparation of food, set up, and the breakdown of our well attended
(33 NYUDers) post countcompilation. Many others brought deliciousfood and
drink and made our “apps and finger foods” themed get together asuccess.
Lastly, as always, JessProckup, Wendy Tocci, and Kyla DeDea made sure our clean
up was done in a muchappreciated timely and helpful manner. I wish you all a
Bird-filled and Healthy New Year,Mark DeDeaCo-compiler NYUDSAVE THE DATE:

[nysbirds-l] NYUD (Ulster/Dutchess) Christmas Bird Count Saturday, December 29, 2018
Greetings,The 8th annual NYUD Christmas Bird Count is fast approaching being held this year on Saturday, December 29th. Two sectors (Saugerties and Cheviot) are both in need of a few more birders. The opportunities are different; in Saugerties (Ulster County) we need an independent birder or four to cover a portion of a large sector, while in Cheviot (Columbia County) volunteers would be joining an existing field party that covers the entire sector. A full day commitment is not required but would be appreciated. A post count compilation will be conducted in Kingston and food and beverages are provided. If you are interested please contact me as soon as possible.

[nysbirds-l] ULSTER/DUTCHESS (NYUD) CBC 2017 overview
Greetings All, The seventh annualUlster/Dutchess (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count was conducted on Wednesday,December 27th, 2017. We’vebeen fortunate, for continuity sake, to hold this count within a three daywindow from 12/26-12/28. 41 birders in 14 field parties along with two feederwatchers observed a new high total of 95species (+2 cw species) for the NYUD CBC. The 20,792 individual birds countedwere nearly 3000 more than our average for the previous six counts andrepresented our second highest total (23,039 in 2011). Of the species that haveappeared three or more years on this count seventeen species were recorded at anew high number and six species at a new low total. To illustrate how complete a team effort thisyear’s count was an outstanding seven species were added to our composite NYUDlist from seven different sectors! Thisraised our composite total after seven counts to 120 species. Exceptional finds included a soaring Golden Eagle inSector E, a vocalizing Long-eared Owl in Sector G, an unexpected Red-headedWoodpecker in Sector J, two cooperative Lapland Longspurs in Sector D, and afemale White-winged Scoter in Sector F. Two species, a House Wren in Sector B and an Iceland Gull in Sector Imoved from “CW” historical status to join us on count day. Temperatures rangedfrom 2 degrees at 6:00 a.m. (having dropped from 8 degrees at the start of ournocturnal effort at 4:00 a.m.) to a balmy 26 degrees mid-day. Luckily diurnal birders basked in asun-filled day with calm winds. Standingbodies of water were iced over but the Hudson and it’s tributaries within the circleremained open and definitely helped field parties locate a very respectable 16species of waterfowl. Three inches of a powderysnow cover was rare for the NYUD and surely helped to consolidate sparrowsroadside and maybe even aid in our record number of Snow Buntings. A big “thank you”as always to Steve Chorvas for inputting and arranging all the data for thiscount and to all those who cooked, baked, and cleaned up to lessen the load formy now very pregnant wife. Also aspecial thanks to Dave Hayes for providing a beautiful facelift to our sectormaps.

[nysbirds-l] Ulster/Dutchess (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count results
Greetings All and Happy New Year, TheUlster/Dutchess (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count was conducted on Wednesday, December28 2016 and celebrated it's 6th anniversary. This circle is centered in Ulster County (Glasco) and contains portions of Ulster,Dutchess,Columbia, and a very small area of Greene counties. Conditions were moderate to favorable forthe 45 birders in 13 field parties and two feeder watchers covering the NYUD'sten sectors who contributed to this year's count. 16,076 individual birds representing 80 species wereidentified on count day plus five count week species. The 80 species tallied resulted in our second lowest effort (78 species in 2013; 85 species average on previous five counts) andthe individuals number fell below the average (18,314 on previous five counts). The temperatures hovered around freezing at the start of our nocturnal effort with a few random snow flakes falling. When the sun did peer out through the mostly cloudy skies temperatures closed in on forty degrees mid-day. Snow cover was no more than a few inches and that was limited to sheltered and/or shaded areas within the CBC circle. The existence of ice was a bit more challenging and even kept those of us nursing broken ribs out of certain trails. The Hudson River was open and still while smaller bodies of water where iced over. River tributaries where open in faster moving portions. One species, a Palm Warbler in Sector D was documented on the NYUD checklist for the first time this year. With this addition the NYUD CBC composite is now at 120 species after six years. Other notable observations included 8 Merlins, 17 Eastern Screech Owls, and a Rusty Blackbird in Sector G. Another positive note was the healthy presence of Sharp-shinned Hawks which matched their bigger cousins on count day with 14. Although no real rarity occurred on count day a high number for 13 species was a pleasant result. Disappointingly no winter finches made an appearance on count day or during the count week period. All parties also noticed sparrow numbers to be markedly lower than in previous counts without any "special" sparrow showing on count day. Count Week birds this year included Wood Duck, Lesser Scaup, Double-crested Cormorant, Peregrine Falcon, and Chipping Sparrow. Thanks again toall the participants (as listed below) who helped make this year's NYUD CBCanother successful day in the field and a special thanks again to Steve Chorvasfor the mentoring, data input, and organizing skills. Thanks also to all those who brought along food and drink to another well-attended compilation at the Hasbrouck Park stone building in Kingston especially my wife Kyla Haber who tended to an ailing husband, battled her own illness, and cooked a whole boat load of food.

With this addition the NYUD CBC composite is now at 120 species after six years. Other notable observations included 8 Merlins, 17 Eastern Screech Owls, and a Rusty Blackbird in Sector G. Another positive note was the healthy presence of Sharp-shinned Hawks which matched their bigger cousins on count day with 14. Although no real rarity occurred on count day a high number for 13 species was a pleasant result. Disappointingly no winter finches made an appearance on count day or during the count week period. All parties also noticed sparrow numbers to be markedly lower than in previous counts without any "special" sparrow showing on count day. Count Week birds this year included Wood Duck, Lesser Scaup, Double-crested Cormorant, Peregrine Falcon, and Chipping Sparrow. Thanks again toall the participants (as listed below) who helped make this year's NYUD CBCanother successful day in the field and a special thanks again to Steve Chorvasfor the mentoring, data input, and organizing skills. Thanks also to all those who brought along food and drink to another well-attended compilation at the Hasbrouck Park stone building in Kingston especially my wife Kyla Haber who tended to an ailing husband, battled her own illness, and cooked a whole boat load of food.

[nysbirds-l] Ulster/Dutchess (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count
Good Morning All, The CBC season has started...as they say "It's the most wonderful time. of the year" and it's not too late to signup to participate in the Ulster/Dutchess (NYUD) count to be held on Saturday, December 26th. This is a great way to avoid the apres clean up and stay clear of over-staying relatives. The NYUD is a circle comprised of sections of four counties (Ulster, Ducthess, Greene, and Columbia) and is nearly bisected by the Hudson River, with good and varied habitat in all ten sectors. In our first four efforts we have averaged 84.5 species with a cumulative list of 111 species so it promises to be a fun and productive day in the field. Several field parties could still use another set of eyes or ears so consider joining us! Please contact me with questions or for assignment.

[nysbirds-l] Ulster/Dutchess (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count results
Greetings, The fourth annualUlster/Dutchess (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count was held on Saturday, December 272014. This year’s count was conductedunder a favorable setting with temperatures ranging from a low of 31 degrees atour 4:00 AM start time to an afternoon high of 54 degrees. There was absolutelyno snow cover and all bodies of water were free of any measurable ice in thecount circle. Clear skies and a completelack of wind made nocturnal efforts quite hospitable. These moderate conditions made for a moreenjoyable day in the field but did not exactly translate into big numbers. Our species total of 86 was slightly above our three year average of 84 but our individual total droppedfor the fourth consecutive year to 14,233 birds reported. An inexplicable late hunting season keptseveral attractive waterfowl locations atypically void of ducks or withextremely anxious birds. Shots wereheard all morning along the Hudson River. One field party witnessed “nuisance control” ata golf course and another noted only five of the 49 ducks observed were on thewater with the others hurriedly flying about Tivoli Bays. Surprisingly low numbers of American Robinsand blackbird species also adversely affected our totals. Mother Nature likely had a hand in this aswell without any sense of urgency to move or even congregate species that mightgenerally pad our numbers remained dispersed. The lack of ice didallow for one Common Loon and six Horned Grebes (new species to the NYUDcomposite) to remain on the far eastern portion of the Ashokan Reservoir. In the Town of Saugerties another three newspecies were added to the NYUD composite with a Northern Goshawk, 5 NorthernPintails, and an Eastern Phoebe (presumably partially sustained by an insecthatch that was observed in more than one sector). An Evening Grosbeak in the Town of Rhinebeckand a Ring-necked Duck in the Town of Red Hook also joined the NYUD compositethis year. The most unusual addition wasa Snowy Owl, not that it was completely unexpected but the manner in which itcame to be part of this count; a nonparticipant discovered the bird, a secondhand e-bird report was generated, and then a conversation and cell phone image viaFacebook the following day to confirm. Withamendments this year the NYUD composite now stands at 113 species in it’s briefhistory. Other interesting orunusual species included Fish Crows in Columbia County, a Wood Duck in WestHurley, a woodcock/snipe species briefly observed in the Town of Ulster, anOrange-crowned Warbler (associating with a lingering Ruby-crowned Kinglet) inSleightsburg, and winter finches were represented by PineSiskins in two sectors and two Purple Finches in Saugerties. With conditions as they were, field partiesanticipated good sparrow results and although total numbers were not impressivediversity was better than any previous count, with towhee, Field, Chipping, andWhite-crowned tallied along with the regulars. Owling was rewarding in all sectors that conducted a nocturnal effortincluding a “sweep” of the three regulars in the Town of Rhinebeck and fiveEastern Screech Owls in the greater Tivoli Bays area alone. A few trends seem to be developing as ourcount matures. A burgeoning winter roostof Black Vultures on the Bard College Campus swelled to 100 birds this year andMerlin has become our “reliable” falcon species. Countweek species this year were Long-tailed Duck, Iceland Gull (who has been inthis role before and yet to make count day), and a late addition on the lastday of the count week by John Haas who briefly observed, at close range, a maleBlack and White Warbler he found while visiting Sleightsburg Spit in search ofthe aforementioned Orange-crowned Warbler. Thank You to the 46 field observers and threefeeder-watchers who thoroughly and productively covered our circle andespecially to Steve Chorvas who continues to steward this fledgling count (andcorrect all my mistakes). Our well attended post count compilation wasmanaged by my beautiful wife Kyla Haber who again did most of the “heavylifting” and handled days of cooking and baking, blown fuses, a clogged sink,and a 3:00 a.m. alarm with a smile. Thanks also to all those who brought additional food and drink and addedto this festive gathering.

[nysbirds-l] NYUD Christmas Bird Count on Saturday, December 27
Greetings CBCing Friends, The Ulster/Dutchess (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count centered in Glasco, Ulster County will be conducted onSaturday, December 27th. As you can see on the attached map the circleis essentially bisected by the Hudson River and includes parts of Ulster, Dutchess,Greene, and Columbia Counties. There are a wide variety ofhabitats and bird rich locations within the circle that promise to make this anexciting and fruitful day in the field. In the first three years of this count acomposite of 106 species have been observed on count day and another 7 speciesnoted during the count week. NYUD averages are currently 84 species and 20,072individuals per count. Not bad for "upstate"; this speaks to diversity of habitat and how well sectors have been covered previously. I hope we are able to continue this trend and maybe even divide and conquer sectors with more field parties. A post count compilation get-together will be held again at Kingston's Hasbrouck Park Stone building with food and libation provided. Please contactme if you'd like to join a field party in one of the ten sectors or ifyour residence is in the circle and you'd like to feeder watch.

[nysbirds-l] Ulster/Dutchess (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count results
Greetings All, On Saturday, December 28, 2013 the third annual Ulster/Dutchess (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count was conducted under hospitable conditions if not the abundant sun-filled day promised. Temperatures ranged from a low of 25 degrees at our 4:00 am nocturnal effort start time to 45 degrees at mid-day. The Hudson River was free of ice but tidal back water areas associated with the river like the Kingston Point Lagoon and North Tivoli Bay were frozen. Fast moving streams were clear of ice and the Esopus Creek was almost completely open. Most count circle ponds were frozen. There was little if any snow cover reported and limited to well shaded and/or protected areas. Wind conditions varied in strength and duration dependent on location within the circle and several field parties had considerably different experiences. 15,748 individuals representing 78 species (plus three count week species) were tallied by 51 participants in 14 field parties and five feeder watchers during the twelve and a half hour count. Both individuals and species numbers serve as the lowest in the brief history of our count. The low individuals total can be attributed to our lack of "number-padding" blackbird flocks and a Canada Goose total less than half last year's number. New high counts were set for 15 species including 6 Merlins, 32 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, 2364 American Robins, 529 Cedar Waxwings, 231 Eastern Bluebirds, 54 Yellow-rumped Warblers, 14 Rusty Blackbirds, 5 white-crowned Sparrows, and 2 Eastern Towhee. Canvasback, Red-breasted Merganser, Peregrine Falcon, Fish Crow, and Snow Bunting were new additions to our count plus three Northern Bobwhite who's origins are undetermined at best but noted non-the-less. A count week Snowy Owl was as close as we could come during this incursion. Other birds of interest included 2 Long-tailed Ducks, 1 Double-crested Cormorant, 36 Black Vultures, 4 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, 2 Field Sparrows, and 5 Purple Finches. No "big" misses this year but both Turkey Vulture and American Kestrel had been observed on the two previous counts. Attached is the complete breakdown by sector of the day's efforts, please note shaded columns identify Dutchess/Columbia Counties sectors and white identifies Ulster sectors. Following our day in the field, 33 folks gathered in Kingston for a well-attended post count compilation and meal and all had a very pleasant time (even Frank Murphy). Thank you to Charlotte Adamis, Donna Seymour, Wendy Tocci, Jessica Prockup, Tracey Patsch, Amy Fradon, Kathie Mock, Frank Murphy, Lin Fagan, Eileen Cunningham, and Kyla Haber for all the refreshments.

[nysbirds-l] Patagonia Picnic Table Effect in Ulster County: Gyrfalcon @ Wallkill/Shawangunk Correctional facilities!!!
Greetings All, Today's John Burroughs Natural Society Wallkill Valley Raptors field trip searched the environs of the Wallkill Valley with hopes of encountering the previously reported Slaty-backed Gull. At around 12:30 pm our train of five cars had worked it's way to the south side of the prison grounds on McKendrick Road when Jessica Prockup and I noticed a large falcon flying head-on to us, perpendicular to the vehicle. I said to Jess "nice we have a Peregrine for the day" but when I pulled over and put the bins up I was amazed to see a white morph Gyrfalcon! This caused me to stall the truck and jump out to grab everyone's attention. The bird banked and soared allowing for about half of our field party to get "life views" before it headed south west. This bird had no facial pattern, helmet, or mustache stripe and when soaring it's back and tail where almost white and very lightly barred eliminating Peregrin e from consideration. Also visible while soaring the underwings and body were white and absolutely no sign of dark wingpits and the possibility of a Prairie Falcon. The falcon-like flight first noted, the long, broad tapered wings with rather blunt tips eliminated leucistic Red-tailed Hawk as well. Our group spent three more hours looking for this bird but were unable to relocate. The area around the prison offered many good birds today and I would recommend a search tomorrow. Good luck and Great Birding!

[nysbirds-l] Ulster County Slaty-backed Gull, Glaucous Gull, and Iceland Gulls
Greetings All, Wendy Tocci and I started our day in search of her e-bird year Iceland Gull and we were not disappointed. Matter of fact we were wonderfully surprised with our other finds by the end of the morning. Our first stop was a congregation of large gull species and we quickly identified two 2nd winter Iceland Gulls. After a few more minutes of scanning a juvenile Glaucous Gull provided multiple extended bin views but the skittish flock never allowed us to put a scope on this bird. About an hour into our visit the bird of the day surfaced when an adult non-breeding SLATY-BACKED GULL joined it's Herring and Great Black-backed cousins. It's extremely dark mantle and bright pink leg color where easily recognizable while it matched neighboring Herring Gulls in size. A call was made to our crack photographer friend Peter Schoenberger who was only able to make our location in time for the arrival of two additional Iceland Gulls (both pale juveniles) and not the previously mentioned birds. By now the birds started to gain altitude and disperse and without more than a digiscope shot of the bird's upper half. An exciting but equally frustrating turn of events. Later in the day after scouring the known gull hangouts of the southern tier of the county I encountered a large swirling flock of gulls over the Wallkill/Shawangunk Correctional Facilities in the Town of Shawangunk and tried to find a vantage point without raising the ire of the correctional officers. I was not able to do so unfortunately but the agricultural grounds of the two prisons were teaming with avifauna included along with several hundred gulls were nearly two thousand Canada Geese. After several passes along McKendrick Road (which bisects the correctional facilities) I was actually able to relocate the SLATY-BACKED GULL! Please make no mistake this area is not intended for roadside birding and I would strongly recommend not pulling over (numerous signs posted along this road illustrate this point). I actually thought I would solicit a stop by the guards after making three additional passes of the bird's location, slowing down, camera on, window down but admittedly too chicken to stop. I apologize if this leaves readers yearning for more details but for now these birds have chosen a highly secured resting area, my best guess is they will visit places like the Wallkill River and Blue Chip Farm as they have historically with the onset of winter. Good luck in your search. Happy New Year and Good birding!

[nysbirds-l] NYUD CBC 12/28/13
Greetings All, Please consider joining the Ulster/Dutchess (NYUD) CBC team on Saturday, December 28th 2013. The circle is centered in Glasco (Ulster County) and is nearly bisected by the Hudson River, including the mouth of the Rondout Creek and parts of Rhinebeck to the south and tiny portions of Greene and Columbia Counties to the north. There are ten sectors, several of which could have multiple field parties so there are many opportunities for interested volunteers. This will be the third go-around for this newish count. Our second effort improving to 92 species on count day as we gain familiarity and recognize productive areas and timely routes. Who knows what this year could bring! A post count compilation get together will be held in Kingston. If you would like to help (even as a feederwatcher) please contact me off list for more information or assignment.
