Re: [nysbirds-l] Black-bellied Whistling Duck - still at Nissequogue River State Park, LI

That was exactly my thoughts when I was there on July 3rd and I did a loop of the pond checking but did not spy any nest. Definitely worth keeping an eye on. Cheers, "I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to

Re: [nysbirds-l] Black-bellied Whistling Duck - still at Nissequogue River State Park, LI

>12:05 pm. Still here today on the algae covered pond It's interesting that multiple reports from 30 June onwards are of a single bird when the original two birds were acting very much like a mated pair. Wood Ducks appear to be nesting close to this pond and I wonder if the second Whistling Duck m

Re: [nysbirds-l] Black-bellied Whistling Duck - still at Nissequogue River State Park, LI

Hi All, I must object to the characterization of this pond in Nissequogue SP as algae-covered. I've looked at several photos posted to eBird, and the pond is covered with duckweed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemnoideae To quote from the wikipedia account: "Duckwwed is an important high-prot

Good morning, For what it's worth, a negative report. Richard Fried and I have just looked for the BBWD at Nickerson. No luck. Anders Peltomaa ‘Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.' – Martin Luther King, Jr. On Jul 21, 2015 8:28 PM, "Brent Bomkamp" wrote: >

Re: [nysbirds-l] Black-bellied Whistling Duck- Jamaica Bay UPDATE...

When I left this evening around 6:45 p.m. the Black-bellied Whistling-Duck was still around, but had moved further to the right of bench # 6. I have uploaded photos on my blog, that includes a few showing the hind toes intact (see the link below) http://birdingdude.blogspot.com/2010/07/black-bell

RE: [nysbirds-l] Black-bellied Whistling Duck- Jamaica Bay

The Black-bellied Whistling-Duck was still present by bench 6 along the south shore of Jamaica Bay's West Pond when Pat and I left around 5:00 pm. Many other birders were there when we left, and others were expected to arrive later. My guess is that there is a good chance it will still be presen
