RE:[nysbirds-l] The Big Year

Lewis, I'm glad you brought up this movie. Up here in Rochester, we're making the most of this opportunity to raise visibility for birding. We've scheduled a panel discussion on listing at a local library for October 3 (I have the pleasure of being one of the panelists) as a preamble to seei

RE: [nysbirds-l] Montauk Wheatear continues

Wheatear found this morning @ 0745 hrs. north of "Third House" at TR county park, found perched on fence post along fence that separates TRCP from Dude ranch to the east, and subsequently on rocks in the field immediately west of the fence. Mike S. Brookhaven -Original Message- From: boun

Re: [nysbirds-l] Where to Go

If anyone has other ideas of where birding could be done, I'm sure we'd all like to hear. Assuming that we will not be able to get to the ocean, maybe next best would be to try any large school ballfields, sod/ potoato farms and lakes or ponds. I'm heading out to the Riverhead area now to see

Re: [nysbirds-l] Where to Go

I echo both Mike Cooper¹s and Bob Lewis¹ suggestions. What about the Marine Park golf course? How about areas around Graves End Bay, such as Dreier-Offerman Park. After one hurricane several Sooty Terns were present near Owl¹s Head Park by the old Brooklyn-Staten Island Ferry terminal. This off c

Re: [nysbirds-l] Where to Go

Plumb Beach was also surprisingly open and unpatrolled by officials this morning. There were 4 BLACK TERNS there while I was there with Rich and Lila Fried. Jacob Drucker Manhattan On Aug 27, 2011, at 3:08 PM, Peter W. Post wrote: > > I echo both Mike Cooper’s and Bob Lewis’ suggestions. > >

Re: [nysbirds-l] Central Park -- update

Hi All, After forwarding that initial report, I went into the park as well. No tanager, but had good views of the female-type Baltimore Oriole visiting the feeders. Was told that this bird has been around for several days, either at the Evodia feeders or at those in the Maintenance Meadow. I was

Re: [nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Avocet - NO

I birded Calvert Vaux Park on Sunday Morning (12/11) and did not see the Avocet. I was only on the north side of the creek, but it would likely have been visible from across the water if it were roosting on the beach at Kaiser Park during the early high tide, as had been its habit. Still, it’s not

Re:[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Avocet - NO

There seems to be some question about whether the Coney Island Creek and the JBWR were the same bird. There is no doubt in my mind that they were two different birds. While Heydi Lopes and I were watching the avocet in Coney Island Creek on Saturday, December 3, I received a phone call from Lloy

Re: [nysbirds-l] NYC Selasphorus photos

Hi All, Here's my bout of photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58638795@N08/ To me me this bird looks like a Rufous, based on the rather thick, broad outer tail feathers, extent of rufous in the tail--not thin like in Allen's, and face pattern, which doesn't seem as pale as a Broad-tailed's wou

RE: [nysbirds-l] Painted Bunting, No

Searched the entire area this morning in and around Scrub Oak Rd and Rte 104 in Quogue. Found many common winter birds but, not the gaudy target. Good birding. Patrick Santinello Eastport- From: bounce-39059241-13703...@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-39059241-13703...@list.cornell.edu

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Barred Owl

This afternoon, the barred owl was seen perching on a tree for almost one hour in this location (40° 46' 28.189" N -73° 58' 10.621" W) about 200 yards south of the Boat House. It moved to a new location near by (40° 46' 27.874" N -73° 58' 6.276" W) across the East Drive and it was there around

Re: [nysbirds-l] Mountain Bluebird Continues

After a long absence, the MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD reappeared at the spot described by Michael McBrien (thanks, Mike!). This is between #337 and #386 on the curve of Hulse Landing Road just before Sound Ave. The MBB was hawking off some wire tree guards. Angus Wilson, New York City & The Springs, NY

RE: [nysbirds-l] Grace's Warbler vagrancy

Thank you, Angus. And, may I add that prompt posting if the bird is relocated in the morning would be appreciated by those of us who couldn't get down there today. I, for one, am putting my plans for tomorrow on hold, pending any early reports that come up from the front. Rich Guthrie New Baltimo
