[nysbirds-l] Oceanside MNSA, Nassau County 10 Black-bellied Whistling Ducks
Hi All! Right as I was walking the trail back to leave mmsa at closing time I saw a flock of black bellied whistling ducks land just behind and to the left of the the osprey nest. I imagine the birds were at the golf course and something must have spooked them and they all flew into the Marine Nature Center. Watching the flock of 10 Birds with their bright beaks flying together was quite a sight. The birds appeared to be getting sleepy and started lying low in the grass soon after. It's a good thing I was just kind of surveying the area looking for salt marsh and seaside sparrows as that had me looking in the right direction when the Ducks came in -Kev -- 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/ --

[nysbirds-l] Dickcissel and Lark Sparrow Robert moses field 2- yes
Both birds showed well, even together in the same photo frame at times, however if your on your way now those two birds and the flock they are associated with moved east to the volleyball courts and then north and I lost them around 3:30pm. Finding a sparrow flock of at least ten sparrows with a few cowbirds mixed in would be a recommended way of searching...other birders had found the bird just a few hundred yards east of the pay tolls at field two and they stuck around for a bit, then about a hundred yards at a time the whole flock went tree to tree until flying slightly south into the volleyball courts then north into a tree near the volleyball nets and then north and out of my sight...very possibly they will reset back to the preferred spot a few hundred yards east of the toll booths again, at least that would be the hope!!

[nysbirds-l] PFGO and also Hempstead lake
Hi everybody, Went back to Hendrickson today,couldn't help but revisit the pfgo. It was swimming in proximity to where it seems to like to hang out by the tennis courts. After about 10 minutes it hopped up out of the water and fed giving some good looks. What a great bird!! A red tailed hawk was active over the pond a hundred yards or so away from where i stood near the pfgo. Popped over at Hempstead lake after around 4pm and saw a low flying turkey vulture over the dog park. A calling belted kingfisher was heard several times,but aside from a group of around 2 dozen white throated sparrows and a red bellied woodpecker that was all I saw.

[nysbirds-l] Mystery flycatcher Jones beach coast guard
Got a quick glimpse in my binoculars of a bird I can only explain as a flycatcher type of bird but very yellow with a yellow belly. It leaped lower down as I tried to get a photo and i wasnt able to get a shot. I stuck around a good while,but never did see it again. Bird was visible from the parking lot of the coast Guard station,just a few feet back from the tree line,not on the bay side, but towards if you were looking in direction of median. Closer to the beginning of the parking lot. House finch,goldfinch,flicker were seen too. Black Scoter just 10 feet into the bay by parking lot. 3 bufflehead.

[nysbirds-l] Nickerson Beach Terns
After talking shop about migrating Terns with Michael Farina at Oceanside Marine Nature Center recently, A concentrated effort to check out Nickerson looking for all the Terns I have yet to see, Roseate,Gull-billed, Arctic and Sandwich has been in effect. Upon arriving a few days ago I had a Royal Tern on the beach,not far from the dunes where there is always varying degrees of water. Unfortunately a peregrine flushed it, and everything else around, and I tried to relocate it unsuccessfully the rest of the afternoon. Looking back on the same area a hour or so later, I noticed a bathing tern that looked different, and happily it was a Gull-billed Tern. It did not stay long, and I also couldn't relocate it. Today June 4th, I went back to Nickerson in the late afternoon and was seeing common and least terns, many laughing Gulls and a few Piping Plovers back were i had seen the royal and gull billed terns. I headed to the main tern/skimmer nesting area, with caution and respect of course, and my luck changed to amazing when I bumped into Bob P. he was scanning the area and pulled out a Roseate Tern as it came in to land close to the water mixing in with a flock of common Terns. We were both elated and got great looks at the Roseate, Thanks Bob, that was impressive, and I'm so appreciative!! This was getting close to sundown with grey skies and I know it's a late report, but I hope it can give some idea of what's going on down at Nickerson!

The bird will sometimes fly back in the direction towards the sandspit at Short Beach but I saw several times it would turn around and head back towards the bridge area described in my earlier post..

[nysbirds-l] Arctic Tern, Nickerson Beach, Nassau County
Hi All, Went looking for Roseate Terns this evening and photo'd a lone tern in front of the 'west colony' that nagged me as a potential Arctic Tern, upon further review of the 3 poor photos taken, there is enough there to show the right size and color of the legs and bill. I wanted to get the word out regarding this sighting! A note on the roseates,...There was 2 preening Roseate Terns in front of the 'west colony' that eventually flew into and sat in the roped off area together, and before that there was a lone roseate tern in front of the eastern colony.

[nysbirds-l] Pacific Loon - Jones Beach west end 2, Nassau county
Hi All!! A little before dusk today we had a Pacific Loon loafing amongst about half a dozen common loons in the inlet. They were a few hundred yards south of the fishermans road parking lot. Parking by the coast guard, we walked the fishermans path, down past the parking lot there and stayed close to the inlet. Initially the plan was to make it out to the jetty but some puddles made access tricky so its recommended to wear waterproof boots if full access is desired!! Got the word out straightaway, but wanted to drop a note here to get the word out further!! Kind regards-Kev -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")

[nysbirds-l] Painted Bunting continues at Hempstead lake state park - Nassau County
Hi All, Popped in quickly to see if we could re-find the hempstead lake painted bunting around 4pm today and we were able to see and photograph it. Not far past where the parking lot ends, whereas we usually have seen it a bit further along the path other times. Not sure if anyone has seen or got the word out lately or if sightings have gone a bit cold on this bird, but can confirm it is still there!!
