Re: [nysbirds-l] Banded Little Blue Heron at JBWR

I'm informed through a Corps of Engineers Notice (thanks Deborah) that Elders Marsh is a restored wetland within Jamaica Bay consisting of joining two "islands" and raising their elevation using dredge spoils. The original islands were once part of a 1,400 acre saltmarsh/island complex consisting

As far as I can tell, Rich, it's in Jamaica Bay, just west of the North Channel Addabbo Bridge, not all that far from where the bird is hanging out. Ardith NYC www.ardithbondi.com Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 12, 2015, at 5:47 PM, Richard Guthrie > wrote: > > Interesting. > > Band return

Re: [nysbirds-l] Banded Little Blue Heron at JBWR

Hi Steve- That same Little Blue was there last Sunday. The band looked like one of Susan Elbin's, so I sent her the numbers. Sure enough, she said she banded it this year at Elders Marsh on July 14. I was actually able to read the first 4 numbers on the silver band. She said the federal band

[nysbirds-l] Banded Little Blue Heron at JBWR

I photographed an immature Little Blue Heron with bands at Jamaica Bay's East Pond today- yellow band on the left leg with "1Z" in black and a silver band on the right leg, with what looks like an engraved "4" (I can't make out if there's more). While I've been seeing Little Blues for weeks, I

[nysbirds-l] Jones and Nickerson Beaches

This morning Jones Beach was largely devoid of migrant landbirds, instead hosting high counts of biting flies. I missed Bob Anderson's earlier Dickcissel and RB Grosbeak, though I did have two separate flyover Bobolinks, headed roughly northeast while "pink"ing distinctively. Several Merlins

There was an exceptionally large flight of songbirds down the Hudson River corridor last night. An acoustic station southeast of Albany detected 4000+ flight calls of migrant warblers. This is the fourth year of monitoring fall flight calling from this location atop the Columbia Land
