[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle and Bald Eagles

[Andrew Block]

Went to see if I could find the Golden Eagle(s) at Ten Mile River Preserve on 
Berkshire Rd. in Dover Plains today.  After a late start because of the ice 
everywhere I found out you can't come from the south on Berkshire since it's 
closed a few miles down the road so I went back and came in from the north to 
the first pullout under the tree on the right.  Immediately I had Bald Eagles 
flying all over and one juvenile in the corn field I assume feeding on a 
pheasant.  Probably about seven were flying around and I got some nice close 
looks.  After about a half hour I caught a nice adult Golden Eagle flying along 
the ridge to the north and had a long look at it as it slowly moved along to 
the west.  Needed a scope for sure.  Also seen were a Cooper's Hawk and at 
least four Red-tailed Hawks as well as many Ring-necked Pheasants everywhere 
along the road and in the fields.  Obviously they weren't wild and were stocked 
for hunting but still nice to see.  Had around 30 or so including an almost 
black one. 
After that I headed to Cold Spring to try and see the Golden Eagles at Storm 
King Mtn.  Unfortuantely I got there around dusk and a little south of where I 
wanted to be, but did get about five Bald Eagles though no Golden Eagle.  Will 
have to try a spot a little father north If I can find one or do the 9W route.

Steve,
One trick you can use on eBird. You can share the photos after placing them 
under "raptor sp."
and change them back after few days.

That is just ridiculous.  Yet another example of how inadequate ebird is for 
birders.  

Birders need a real bird sighting sharing app, explicitly for birding.    
Facebook is OK but some people refuse to use Facebook.  Whatsapp is OK but also 
limited.

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle in Queens

[Steve Walter]

This was actually on Wednesday, viewed from my hawk observation spot at
Alley Creek (northern end of Alley Pond Park). The bird passed a good
distance to the south of me, but I've seen enough Bald Eagles here to catch
on to flight and shape differences in this case. I knew it was imperative to
attempt getting pictures despite the distance involved. After cropping,
photo editing, and zooming in on the pictures, what can be seen are white
wing patches, both on the upper side and underside, in the places where they
should be on a Golden. White can also be seen at the base of the tail
underneath (can't see the upper side). There is a hint of lighter (golden)
color on the top of the head. This was more evident in zooming in on
original RAW files. The wing shape is also suggestive of Golden,
particularly in the trailing edge to the base of the wing having a pinched
in look.

 

I intended to share the pictures via the e-bird link. However, it appears
that Golden Eagle is marked as a sensitive species, so it gets blocked from
other viewers. Although as a transient bird, it isn't really a sensitive
situation. Golden Eagle is quite rare on Long Island, only my second ever.
Surprisingly, it can be debated whether it was even the rarest raptor in the
boroughs portion of Long Island just that day. I don't know. There was a
Burrowing Owl only a couple of years ago. But I guess a wintering Golden
Eagle recently too.

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle near Stony Brook

[Noah Strycker]

Hi all,

This morning at Setauket Woods (about three miles east of Stony Brook
University), I watched a raven harass an immature GOLDEN EAGLE soaring in
beautiful sunshine for a few minutes. This appears to be the first GOEA in
Suffolk County in a couple of years, at least on eBird.

At least 4 ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS were also in the park. Some photos:

https://ebird.org/checklist/S61300773

After moving to Stony Brook in August (to begin a 2-year Master's program
studying Antarctic penguins), it has been fun to start exploring Long
Island this fall. Looking forward to the next few seasons here ;)

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle flyover, Queens

[Timothy Healy]

I spotted a Golden Eagle from the subway platform at the Junction Boulevard 7 
station in Queens just before 4 PM today. The bird was tracking vaguely 
eastward, but I lost sight of it when the train pulled up. Field notes can be 
found in my attached eBird checklist. Keep your eyes on the skies!

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle, Dutchess County

[John Askildsen]

On Sunday, 12/17, I saw a well marked immature Golden Eagle at Stissing Pond in 
Pine Plains, Dutchess County. In very dramatic fashion, the bird flew in low 
over the pond and through a large flock of geese that were flying into the pond 
at the same time. In a state of panic, the incoming geese aborted their mission 
and scattered in every direction. Though obviously quite nervous, the some 
2,500 geese on the pond did not budge. There was also an immature Bald Eagle at 
the pond's far edge providing direct comparison.

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle/Fox Sparrow/White-winged Crossbills/Black-backed Woodpecker at its nest cavity! & more

[Joan Collins]

March 27, 2016 Long Lake (Hamilton Co.)

 

It was a beautiful night with a bright moon and stars, so I drove to
Sabattis Circle Road at 2:30 a.m.  It was cold (27 degrees), but Amer.
Woodcocks were peenting!  I found two different Snowshoe Hares - one I
observed well, and it was about 50% transitioned to its summer brown color.
I also found 2 Porcupines waddling down the road together.  I didn't hear
any owls.

 

In a brief outing midday in Long Lake, I found the following species:

 

Black-backed Woodpecker - calling bird at the Round Lake Trailhead

Gray Jay - 4 (1 at Sabattis Bog, 2 during a bushwhack off the Round Lake
Trail, and 1 foraging along Route 30)

Boreal Chickadee - 3 along Route 30

White-winged Crossbill - 2 flyover calling birds (heading toward Bog Stream)
while I was watching two Gray Jays at the Round Pond Trailhead

 

I took a short walk on the Round Pond Trail and bushwhacked off trail in a
boreal area that I like.  Two Gray Jays found me!  It was warm, so I didn't
have a jacket on and I didn't have pockets for Gray Jay food (which was in
the car).  I explained this to the Gray Jays and decided to end the
bushwhack and hike back to the car.  I was quite surprised to find the 2
Gray Jays staying with me - all the way to the car!  They ended up with
raisins for their determination.  The more time I spend with Gray Jays, the
more remarkable I find them.

 

It was nice to run into Anthony Collerton at Sabattis Bog!

 

March 26, 2016 Newcomb, Minerva (Essex Co.) and Long Lake (Hamilton Co.)

 

On a tour with 2 birders from Long Island, we had a wonderful boreal birding
day in perfect weather.  Here are some of the species found (* - first of
the season for me):

 

*Wood Duck - pair on the Hudson River (first of the season for me)

Hooded Merganser - Hudson River

Ruffed Grouse - standing in Sabattis Circle Road in Long Lake!

Wild Turkey - flock along Route 28N in Long Lake (on our way to Newcomb)

Bald Eagle - soaring adult over Minerva

*Golden Eagle - adult over Newcomb (battling with a raven) (first of the
season for me)

Black-backed Woodpecker - 3!; pair in Newcomb with the female working on a
nest cavity - extremely early!; and one calling in Minerva

Pileated Woodpecker - several

Merlin - flying over a marsh in Newcomb

Northern Shrike - observed perched at the marsh in Newcomb

Gray Jay - 5 (2 in Minerva, 2 along Sabattis Circle Road in Long Lake, and 1
at Sabattis Bog in Long Lake)

American Crow - including one carrying a stick

Common Raven - many, including 2 at the side of Route 30 in Long Lake
picking grass for nesting material, and one that fought the Golden Eagle

Boreal Chickadee - 3 heard in Newcomb - they flew over the road and perched
near us, but were difficult to observe in thick trees

Red-breasted Nuthatch

Brown Creeper - singing!

Golden-crowned Kinglet - singing!

American Robin

American Tree Sparrow

*Fox Sparrow - Newcomb feeder (first of the season for me)

Song Sparrow

Dark-eyed Junco

Northern Cardinal - Newcomb

Red-winged Blackbird

Common Grackle

Purple Finch

Red Crossbill - 5 observed and many heard, (3 in Newcomb observed gritting
in Route 28N, and 2 observed gritting in Route 28N in Minerva)

Pine Siskin - everywhere!

American Goldfinch

Evening Grosbeak - many! (male and female observed in Newcomb near feeders,
a flyover flock of 7 in Newcomb, and a huge flock behind multiple houses
just outside the village of Newcomb, and more heard at stops in Newcomb and
Minerva)

 

As it turns out, one of the birders took a number of photos of the Golden
Eagle when it dropped down low and noticed a GPS tracking device on its back
when he uploaded his photos to his computer!  I am in contact with several
Golden Eagle folks, and we may be able to find out more about the bird.  Tom
Salo thinks the particular GPS unit is an older one since it is larger than
the devices they currently use.

 

I posted a photo of the male Black-backed Woodpecker and the female
Black-backed Woodpecker working on the new nest cavity on my Facebook page
below.  She was able to lean-in, so it is apparent that they began this
excavation in winter! I also took a couple of videos of the female
excavating - will post one soon.  I also posted a photo of a 1st year male
Red Crossbill gritting in the road in Minerva.

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle, Sandhill Cranes, Bald Eagles, Tree Swallows, Eastern Meadowlar, Northern Saw-whet Owl & More- Braddock Bay!

[Brett Ewald]

It was a pleasure spending the day back on the hawkwatch platform at Braddock 
Bay today - March 26th (near Rochester, Monroe County). Despite northeasterly 
breezes, there was a great movement and many highlights (58 species seen from 
the platform today). Total hawk count was 1, 305. I've included raptor and 
other highlights below, including a previously found Northern Saw-whet Owl.

Red-throated Loon - 1
Double-crested Cormorant -7
17 duck species
Wood Duck - 10+

Turkey Vulture - 1,203

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle - Columbia County, NY

[Jesse Jaycox]

I observed an immature golden eagle feeding on a deer carcass early this 
morning along the southbound lane of the Taconic State Parkway, approximately 
2.5 miles south of Route 23 at the Taghkanic/Claverack town line. The carcass 
and eagle were on the grassy road shoulder, about 30 feet from the road.

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle/other October migrants/Boreal Birds/etc.

[Joan Collins]

Just a few general observations from up north.

 

Pine Siskins continue to be heard everywhere I hike/camp in the Adirondacks.
Purple Finches are also moving around.  Golden-crowned Kinglets are abundant
- as Shai Mitra mentioned regarding Downy Woodpecker movements, it can be
tricky to distinguish movements in local, year-round residents.
Golden-crowned Kinglets are typically found year-round in the Adirondacks,
but they appear to currently be much more abundant than normal - seemingly
in every bush and tree!  Wild Turkeys had another good year and they are
abundant.  Barred Owls are heard every night outside our home and everywhere
I camp.  Small mammal populations were way up this past summer, and numbers
are dropping off a bit now.  Last winter, we had Blue Jays at our feeders
(in the Central Adirondacks) throughout the winter for the first time.  Blue
Jays have been perching on our porch railing for the past few days and
appear to be searching for the feeders!  I normally wait until late October
to start feeding birds to avoid Black Bears and Raccoons, but I decided to
start feeding this week.

 

We have been observing an Eastern Coyote outside our house for the past week
or so.  I took a dawn photo of the coyote on 10/12/14 and posted it to my
Facebook page listed below.

 

10/12/14 Long Lake (Hamilton County)

 

I observed the season's first (juvenile) Golden Eagle migrant over Big Brook
along Route 30 in Long Lake at 2 p.m.  It appeared to be taking off (it was
right over the road) with a Common Raven encouraging it to leave.  It soared
higher and higher - in the background of my scope view, I could just make
out several much smaller raptors in the same thermal with the eagle!  (This
was the same day that the first Golden Eagle was tallied at Franklin
Mountain Hawk watch.)

 

There was a female Eastern Towhee migrant at the outlet of Little Tupper
Lake with a bill covered in berry juice!  (Photo on my Facebook page.)  This
location is a magnet for many migrating species and one of my favorite
birding locations, because you never know what you'll find. (Other sparrows:
White-crowned, White-throated, Chipping, Song, and Dark-eyed Junco)

 

Among many Yellow-rumped Warblers at Sabattis Bog, a tail pumping (yellow)
Palm Warbler appeared.  Gray Jays have been actively feeding along the road
by Sabattis Bog for several days.  Dragonflies were active and I
photographed a lovely butterfly at Sabattis Bog (photo on Facebook).

 

10/11/14 Bloomingdale Areas (Franklin Co.)

 

On a half-day tour with a couple from New Jersey, we visited boreal habitat
areas.  Here are some of the species found:

 

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

Black-backed Woodpecker - two different birds calling (one upset by the
appearance of the 2 friendly Gray Jays!)

Northern Flicker

Pileated Woodpecker

American Kestrel

Blue-headed Vireo

Gray Jay - 5 (two different groups of 2 and a 5th heard vocalizing) - we
encountered two very friendly Gray Jays in an area where I didn't think they
would be tame!  (Photo on my Facebook page.)

Common Raven

Boreal Chickadee - at least 6 (flock of at least 4 and another group of at
least 2)

Brown Creeper

Winter Wren

Golden-crowned Kinglet

Ruby-crowned Kinglet

Hermit Thrush - several

Yellow-rumped Warbler

Purple Finch

Pine Siskin

 

On my way back to Long Lake, I found a calling/rattling Black-backed
Woodpecker across Sabattis Bog (Sabattis Circle Road) and 3 foraging Gray
Jays by the bog.  I nearly hit a Ruffed Grouse that suddenly ran into Route
30.  There was a solo Ring-necked Duck and Wood Ducks on Shaw Pond in Long
Lake.

 

10/9/14 Long Lake - I observed an Eastern Towhee migrant with the hordes of
Dark-eyed Juncos on our lawn.

 

10/5/14 Whiteface Mountain & Bloomingdale (Essex and Franklin Counties)

 

Larry Master and I went up Whiteface Mountain pre-dawn on 10/5 and
encountered freezing temps and blowing fog (& some snow on the trees - see
my Facebook page!).  It was tough to get out of the car.  We found many
birds, including a couple of Bicknell's Thrushes.  We also found a couple of
Boreal Chickadees on the drive down.  I spent time birding in lowland areas
(River Road and Bloomingdale) after we came down to a warmer climate!  Here
are some of the species:

 

Ruffed Grouse - 2

All 6 possible woodpecker species, including a male Black-backed Woodpecker
(photos on my Facebook page)

Blue-headed Vireo

Gray Jay - 2

Boreal Chickadee - 7 (2 on Whiteface, and groups of 2 and 5 in the
Bloomingdale area)

Golden-crowned Kinglet

Ruby-crowned Kinglet

Eastern Bluebird - large flock

Bicknell's Thrush - at least 2 on Whiteface

Swainson's Thrush - 2 (one on Whiteface and another along River Road
foraging with robins and bluebirds)

Hermit Thrush

Nashville Warbler - 1

Yellow-rumped Warbler

Sparrows: Savannah, Song, White-throated, White-crowned, and Dark-eyed Junco

Finches: Purple, Pine Siskin, and Amer. Goldfinch

Hi all,
The Golden Eagle is being viewed by Richard Fried and myself from the Storm
King mountain overlook on 9W. The eagle flew in very distant towards the
river and then landed on a snag, where it stayed. We will drive around to
another viewing area to get perhaps closer looks at the bird.

The Golden Eagle is being viewed by Richard Fried and myself from the Storm

RE: Re:[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle - Pawling

[Jaycox, Jesse (TAC)]

Given Peter Scully's and Tom Salo's posts on golden eagles, I thought I'd share 
a recent article on a golden eagle that "fell from the sky" in Pawling, NY.

Subject: Re:[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle - Pawling

I emailed Peter separately to urge his friend with the wildlife camera that 
photographed a Golden Eagle to participate in the Appalachian Eagles Project 
next winter. This past winter 12 sites operated in New York. Cameras at baited 
sites recorded many Golden and Bald Eagles, Barred and Great-horned Owl, 
fishers, coyotes, bobcat, flying squirrel, corvids including ravens by the 
score, foxes of both species, raccoons,
3 species of buteo - one of which was the Dark Morph calurus Red-tailed Hawk 
posted earlier. We were also able to document movements by 2 Bald Eagles when 
banded birds showed up at different sites 26 miles apart.

At this point in late winter, adult Golden Eagles start heading north to their 
breeding territories. At sites still operating we assume any new birds this 
late are migrants instead of winter residents.

This is a fun and interesting project for someone in a rural or semi-rural area 
with the use of a pickup truck, an acceptable site and a willingness to handle 
road-killed deer. A limited number of cameras are available to lend each winter.

Visit http://www.appalachianeagles.org/ for more information and sample photos. 
Contact me if you are interested in participating in New York.

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle - Pawling

[Peter Scully]

A friend of mine captured some pretty amazing photos of an immature GOLDEN 
EAGLE on a trail camera in Pawling, NY (near the Connecticut border) today.  
Unfortunately I can't offer a specific location, as the bird was on private 
property, but keep your eyes up if you're in the area.

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle, Westhampton (Suffolk)

[Derek Rogers]

Eastern birders be on the lookout. I just had a Golden Eagle soaring parallel, 
but north, of Sunrise Highway at the CR 31 Junction. The bird was struggling a 
bit in the wind. I had enough time to pull off and perch on the over pass, put 
my scope on my window mount and confirm the ID as I watched the bird soar and 
flap toward the WNW. I was confident this bird was a Golden with my naked eye 
view but the scope helped clinch the ID.

If I had to judge I'd say I lost sight of the bird near the Sarnoff Preserve as 
my vision was eventually obstructed by some nearby pitch pines. Good bird for 
the Island.

Best,
Derek Rogers

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle, Carolina Wren - Niagara County

[Brett Ewald]

This morning, a Carolina Wren was singing incessantly on Koepsel Rd. in 
Wolcottsville, where I have not had them before. While driving north on 
Griswold Rd. near Middleport, a Golden Eagle passed by going west, in 
association with a Red-shouldered Hawk and a couple of Turkey Vultures.

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle-Albany County

[Peter Schoenberger]

Partridge Run was slow this morning, but we had a fly over juvenile Golden 
Eagle.
Later we stopped at Basic Creek Reservoir where there was a good assortment of 
waterfowl including Gadwall, American Wigeon, Mallard, American Black Duck, 
Northern Pintail, Hooded Merganser, Common Merganser, and Ring-necked Duck.
At Vosburgh Marsh in Greene County, the ducks continued to be great. I couldn't 
count all the pintail there,but there was well over 50! We also found 
Green-winged Teal and Wood Ducks.

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle

[Peter Schoenberger]

After a morning of birding at Partridge Run WMA ( no Boreal  
Chickadee ), Susan Rogers and I saw an immature Golden Eagle being  
harassed by 3 Common Ravens. It was flying north over Gifford Hollow  
Rd. I did manage to get a few ID photos.

[nysbirds-l] Golden Eagle remains at Bashakill

[Valerie Freer]

The immature Golden Eagle reported yesterday by John Haas was seen at the DEC 
Bashakill WMA in Sullivan County again late this morning, when Ed Morse and 
others found it perched in a large grove of trees just south of Haven Road. It 
remained for about a half hour until it was disturbed by an immature Bald Eagle.
This bird was photographed at the Bashakill on Saturday March 6 by Gary Van 
Houten, so today was at least the fifth day it spent at the Bashakill. We have 
records of a single Golden Eagle remaining for extended periods at the 
Rio/Mongaup area of southwestern Sullivan County (last in 2001), but not 
previously at the Bashakill.
Should you plan to also check out the Bald Eagles regularly seen at the 
Bashakill from the Main Boat Launch off South Road, be aware that 4-wheel drive 
is required to enter (and more important, to exit) that parking lot.
A map and more information about the Bashakill is available at

[nysbirds-l] golden eagle

[Spsdmd]

this morning at 945 i had an adult golden eagled perched(!) on rt 6 in  
harriman state park just west of the traffic circle as you go towards central  
valley. i was going east when i saw several crows mobbing the bird, and i 
was  able to pull over and photograph the bird for a couple of minutes. sadly 
it flew  off going away from me so i didn't get a good flight shot, but i 
did not see any  white in the tail leading me to believe that this was a 
mature golden, possibly  one of the birds seen this winter in the storm king mt 
area? its golden nape was  glowing in the morning sun.
i put 4 shots up on my website _www.stevesachsphotography.com_ 
(http://www.stevesachsphotography.com)   under "NEW WINTER 2009-10"
while i'm here, i'll mention my photo exhibit that is up at the Teatown  
nature center in Ossining -"Wintering birds of prey of the northeast". the  
photos will be up for the month of February and i will be having a reception  
there on sun feb. 28 from 3-5 so come by and check it out and say hello
