[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay East Pond, Queens County

[Sean Sime]

Walking the East Pond on the tail end of high tide Tuesday morning was
productive. There are still some shorebirds around and ducks are building.

Highlights included:

American Avocet
Pectoral Sandpiper(2)
White-rumped Sandpiper (11)
Stilt Sandpiper(8)
Dunlin

There were hundreds of teal, the majority of which were Green-winged, but
with modest numbers of Blue-winged mixed in. Northern Shoveler numbers are
up as well with 225 seen from the Raunt south. A Caspian Tern rounded out
the highlights.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay East Pond/ Queens County

[Sean Sime]

A mid day trip to the East Pond did not turn up the Wilson's Phalarope seen
earlier this week, but the Acadian Flycatcher, Gull-billed Tern and
White-faced Ibis were all present.
The only shorebirds seen were Eastern Willet, Semipalmated Sandpiper,
Lesser Yellowlegs and Greater Yellowlegs, but it was low tide and certainly
not optimal for numbers of birds to be roosting on the east pond.

Good birding,

The American Avocet is still here, on east shore near the cut-around by the MTA 
tracks. Also, 3 black terns and continuing Gull-billed. As for shorebirds, 5+ 
white-rumped and 1 juv Western among the hundreds of Semis and couple dozen 
Leasts.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay East Pond Queens County

[Andrew Baksh]

6+ hours spent on the pond today while checking the water during low and
high tide.

Shorebird bird numbers were disappointingly low. Nevertheless, I ended up
with 10 species. The highlights were 3 Stilt Sandpipers *(2 nicely marked
birds seen with Steve Walter) *and 2 flagged Semipalmated Sandpipers.

Other notables included a Bonaparte's Gull, female Hooded Merganser and a
male and female Greater Scaup.

For anyone contemplating shorebirding on the East Pond, please note that
the best shoreline for birds is on the south end and along the east side.

Photos will be online soon for those interested.

Cheers,

風 Swift as the wind
林 Quiet as the forest
火 Conquer like the fire
山 Steady as the mountain
