[nysbirds-l] Thick billed murre - yes

[Christopher Gangemi]

The Thick-Billed Murre continues at the Shinnecock Inlet. At 8:45 it was in the 
mouth of the inlet, between the two jetties. 

Also of note was a female Harlequin duck on the east side of the east jetty.

[nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre/Brooklyn

[Shane Blodgett]

About 3:45 this afternoon I had a THICK-BILLED MURRE fly by as I stood at the 
base of Veteran's Memorial Pier, my last stop of a Brooklyn birding day that 
started just after sunrise. I will post a link to the 4 shots I got (don't 
expect too much) once I have a chance to upload them.  

I heard second hand after seeing this bird that a TBMU found on a boat was 
released near the Bayonne/Jersey City border earlier in the day so this could 
quite possibly be the same bird.

Days other highlights were few:

59 COMMON GOLDENEYE in Rockaway Inlet
9 RED-NECKED GREBE (3 Floyd Bennett, 1 off Riis Landing, 2 Breezy Point, 2 @ 
58th Street Pier,  1 in Gravesend Bay)
~2250 LONG-TAILED DUCK off Breezy Point
71 COMMON LOON 
84 HORNED GREBE
22 BLACK SCOTER off Breezy
8 WHITE-WINGED SCOTER off Breezy

Shane Blodgett

[nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre follow up

[Rob Jett]

This afternoon Heydi Lopes and I went out to Coney Island to look for  
the Western Grebe. We started at the Coney Island pier and planned to  
walk east until we found the grebe or ran out of beach, whichever came  
first. At approximately 2:15pm we were at Brighton 5th Street (in  
Brighton Beach) when I spotted a Thick-billed Murre in the water. The  
bird was ridiculously close to shore, probably no more than a few  
yards. We watched it as it gradually made its way west, in the  
direction of the pier. We had run into Starr Saphir and Lenore Swenson  
earlier in our walk and contacted them about the murre. Heydi and I  
then continued east looking for the grebe (which we did not locate).  
On our return walk we spotted the murre again near the aquarium. Starr  
and Lenore were on the bird. We caught up with them and the four of us  
watched the bird which, at this point, was off the jetty at West 2nd  
Street. Using the pier as reference, I'm guessing that the bird was  
about 200 yards from the shore. When Heydi and I left at about 3:45pm  
the bird was still present. Heydi was able to take quite a few photos  
when we first located the bird at Brighton Beach. A link will follow  
shortly.


Big thanks to Jean Loscalzo for getting the word out for us.

Good birding,

Rob

[nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now

[Doug Gochfeld]

There is currently a Thick-billed Murre in Gravesend Bay, Brooklyn. It is
close to shore, swimming NW along the rim of the bay. I was viewing from
adjacent to the parking pulloff along the eastbound Belt Parkway just west
of (before) exit 5. It has covered a considerable amount of water heading
NW and is now closer to the pedestrian overpass to the north of there, and
if it continues ln this course it will eventually pass the next lot to the
NW, which is the eBird hotspot named “Gravesend Bay—Middle Lot” or
something close to that.

Good Birding

Re: [nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre follow up

[fresha2411]

 The Murre was present through 5:00 PM, although it was moving very fast to the 
East at this time. When we (Bob Gochfeld and I) first arrived around 4:00 PM we 
couldn't find it for a while, but then Bob picked it out, sitting still at 
least a quarter of a mile (probably more) offshore to the SE. Rob Bate showed 
up a short time later and then the bird paddled in towards shore getting to 
about 25 yards offshore before turning eastward and moving very fast 
(alternately swimming and diving) towards Manhattan Beach. Dave Klauber showed 
up just in time to see it before it disappeared the East (No public access from 
Brighton Beach to Manhattan Beach).

If it's not seen at Coney Island Beach tomorrow, good spots to check Rockaway 
Inlet from would be the Kingsborough Community College Jetty, Sheepshead Bay, 
Plum Beach (as always), and Dead Horse Bay.

I've made a map of it's dusk activities here:

Re: [nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now

[Timothy Healy]

With all these murres, Razorbills, and kittiwakes hanging out right along the 
coast this winter, it’s a real shame we lost the Brooklyn VI. I’d love to get 
offshore and see what’s going on out there!

Cheers,

Re:[nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now

[John Gluth]

I’m seriously considering paying the $95 for a 10-hour codfish trip aboard the 
Laura Lee Express out of Captree. Half the price of a See Life trip. Two trips 
each weekend through the end of March. Much more convenient for Suffolk birders 
than Brooklyn. If memory serves from past cod trips (before birding became my 
passtime of choice), chum (clam chunks) is employed. It’s not fish oil, but 
couldn’t hurt.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now

[Ryan Mandelbaum]

Back to the murre for a moment: is it still being seen? would like to know 
before paying for a cab ride out to see it. it’s definitely nice that there’s a 
thick-biled murre that’s accessible to those of us without a car :)

Re: [nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now

[David Barrett]

Gus Keri reported the THICK-BILLED MURRE passing Gravesend Bay Middle
Parking Lot at 2:30 p.m., heading toward the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. He
just updated at 3:00 p.m. -- it is passing under the Verrazano-Narrows
Bridge into New York Harbor.

If it continues along that breakwall the next point of easy access to
intercept it after the VN bridge would be Veterans Memorial Pier at Bay
Ridge Avenue and Shore Parkway.

Good luck

Re: [nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now

[Ryan]

I caught sight of the TBMU at around 3:50 from 92 street pedestrian overpass 
and followed it up to the Veterans Pier. It came in just a few feet from the 
end of the pier, then floated inland to the area just south of the wastewater 
treatment plant. It stuck around for a while then dove and we lost sight of it 
after that. 

Thanks for the alert!

[nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn right now

[fresha2411]

Rob Jett just called to report that he and Heydi Lopes have just found a 
Thick-billed Murre in Dead Horse Bay.


It is behind the usual massive flock of Greater Scaup (which includes at least 
one Canvasback that they just found).


>From his description, it sounds like the Murre is roughly here:
40.582019,-73.90224


Viewed from here:
40.581579,-73.896339


If coming by car, you must park at Aviator Sports Parking Lot (across Flatbush 
Avenue, in Floyd Bennett Field), and walk south. I suppose that alternatively 
you could park in the Brooklyn Golf Driving Range, but it is not much closer 
and is technically private (I think).
The entrance to the Aviator Lot is here (at a traffic light):
40.590335,-73.900652


Walk down the street to the access of the trails (a bus stop is also here) here:
40.581571,-73.891704


Plugging these coordinates into Google Maps will yield a green arrow marking 
the locations.


Good Birding

[nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre - Tiana Beach (Suffolk Co.)

[Ken Feustel]

At approximately 10:00AM this morning a Thick-billed Murre was observed in the 
ocean off the Tiana Beach (Dune Road) pavilion. The bird was observed swimming 
west. Other than the Murre there was not much else, although American Bittern 
and Black-crowned Night Heron were observed on the north side of Dune Road near 
Dolphin Lane. I then headed to the Riverhead farm fields to once again try for 
the elusive (for me, anyway) Pink-footed Goose. Although there were many Canada 
Geese present, and they were scattered all over the fields between Doctor’s 
Path and Rt. 105, the best I could do was two Cackling Geese and one 
White-fronted Goose. Also present was a dark morph Rough-legged Hawk.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre - Pt. Lookout, Nassau County

[Michael Zito]

Bird moving west, just went around the jetty before the crane. They are doing 
construction so I didn't want to push it and move any closer.

[nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre - Rocky Point Marsh Queens Co.

[Andrew Baksh]

A Thick-billed Murre briefly came into view while scoping the area near Rocky 
Point Marsh. It dove shortly after and I could not relocate it.

It might be worth checking near the Plum Beach area as well.
