The Red-breasted NUthatches are coming through.  Even though my idiot neighbors 
cut down their huge spruce earlier this year I had a single Red-breasted in 
their yard today.  Seem to come by every year about this time.

Interesting on the RB Nut situation. I'm still leaving a small amount of
seeds out as our wintering pair is still around. Will they stay to breed?
The seeds will stay out as long as they're around. I too had 0 RB Gulls
during my outing on Sunday,  covering plenty of varied habitat.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Red breasted Nuthatch

2017-04-25 Thread Shaibal Mitra 
Red-breasted Nuthatch is an example of a species whose movements are 
particularly complex and difficult to understand. They breed over a vast area, 
and variable numbers of birds occupy essentially that entire area during the 
winter as well. But some birds move south, the proportion of which varies 
tremendously from year to year, and the distances covered by these migrants can 
be huge. Feeder watchers are in position to note the actual dates of departure 
of over-wintering individuals, which provides very useful information. In other 
similar cases, such as the departures of individual adult Lesser Black-backed 
Gulls from their wintering sites, our local winter residents seem to move out 
noticeably earlier than the peak of northbound migration (mid March vs. early 
April, in this example). My own impression of spring migration of Red-breasted 
Nuthatches on Long Island is that it occurs during May.

There are multiple possible interpretations for this pattern. For instance, it 
is possible that the more southerly wintering birds are those that breed the 
farthest north, and that they migrate later accordingly. Another possibility is 
that residents that have been faithful to particular sites during the winter 
leave those sites well before they commence actual migration, perhaps wandering 
around the regional landscape for a couple of weeks when days lengthen and 
weather improves. Something of this sort seems to occur with feeder birds 
because there seems to be a pulse of detections of rare species each year 
around the March-April period when known over-wintering birds tend to vanish. 
In other words, rare (and other) birds that have been wintering unreported at 
feeders and in other favorable sites begin moving around and are more likely to 
be encountered by birders.

On a related topic, I've noticed recently that adult Ring-billed Gulls have 
vanished from Long Island, and I didn't notice when this happened. My own last 
large counts were on 1-2 April, and all my recent records have involved SY and 
TY immatures, in small numbers. My feeling is that the arrival dates of 
warblers are pretty well covered, but when it comes to the departure dates of 
age classes of gulls, there's plenty of work to be done!

RE: [nysbirds-l] Red breasted Nuthatch

2017-04-25 Thread Shaibal Mitra 
Red-breasted Nuthatch is an example of a species whose movements are 
particularly complex and difficult to understand. They breed over a vast area, 
and variable numbers of birds occupy essentially that entire area during the 
winter as well. But some birds move south, the proportion of which varies 
tremendously from year to year, and the distances covered by these migrants can 
be huge. Feeder watchers are in position to note the actual dates of departure 
of over-wintering individuals, which provides very useful information. In other 
similar cases, such as the departures of individual adult Lesser Black-backed 
Gulls from their wintering sites, our local winter residents seem to move out 
noticeably earlier than the peak of northbound migration (mid March vs. early 
April, in this example). My own impression of spring migration of Red-breasted

My wife Betsy and I saw a Red-breasted Nuthatch at Camp Hero, Suffolk

2007.  
The following fall and winter produced Pine Grosbeak, Common  Redpoll and

will  
happen again this winter. Time will  tell.
