Re: [nysbirds-l] Hurricane Sandy and potential seabirds

[Tom Johnson]

Hi Pete,
There's a new article just posted at eBird.org discussing some of these
very questions.  Coastal flooding might make birding the barrier beaches
very challenging and potentially dangerous.

Good luck,
Tom

[nysbirds-l] Hurricane Sandy and potential seabirds

[Peter Morris]

Hi all,

I am quite new to the area, having just moved to Babylon, Long Island with my 
girlfriend (from England). I was wondering if someone could share some 
experience with regards to storms such Sandy and their potential to produce 
seabirds in this area. Specifically, where are the best places to look from, 
the sorts of species which are most likely to be pushed here at this time of 
year and when to be out (do birds move ahead of such storms?) taking safety 
into consideration. I would be very grateful for any advice. 

Highlights from Southards Pond Park in Babylon today included 1 Nashville 
Warbler, 1 Orange-crowned Warbler, 1 Common Yellowthroat, 1 Blackpoll Warbler 
and 2 Blue-headed Vireos.

Many thanks,

Pete
