Re: [nysbirds-l] Presumed Hybrid Shorebird at Jamaica Bay

I was more inclined to think that if it’s one or the other, it might be an oddball Western rather than Semi. I’ve never seen a Semi with anywhere near the extent of markings on the underparts that this bird shows. It has well defined chevrons along the flanks and spotting and streaking onto t

I have posted on New York Birders Facebook page one of my photos of the immature Brown Booby on Onota Lake in Pittsfied, MA on August 20, 2018 and a photo of an immature Brown Booby taken by Tom Whitney with his iPhone when it landed on the mast of his sailboat on Long Lake, Hamilton Co. NY on

Re: [nysbirds-l] Presumed Hybrid Shorebird at Jamaica Bay

Hi Steve, Whenever, I see “hybrid” in any reports I am always tempted to immediately take a peep. Despite looking at the images from the field on my phone I have to respectfully disagree with the “presumed” hybrid call on the bird you referenced. This to me, is just a Semipalmated Sandpiper (

Re: [nysbirds-l] Presumed Hybrid Shorebird at Jamaica Bay

Just to clarify, this bird was found by birders who were coincidentally at the East Pond as part of the Great South Bay Audubon field trip. It stood out as being very different, so they photographed it and, when the crowd thinned out enough, pointed it out to the festival folks to get their opi

RE:[nysbirds-l] NNYBirds: Juvenile Brown Booby on Long Lake (Hamilton Co.)!

There were two different Brown Boobies on Long Island just last year: Nickerson Beach (Nassau Co., June) and Lake Montauk (Suffolk Co., October) - neither apparently storm related. As for inland records there was one on Cayuga Lake just 2 years ago. Most relevantly though, there was an immature

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach- Short Beach Island

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) birded the bar at the Marina, near high tide. A nice group of shorebirds, but few species. The high light was 50+ RED KNOT, many still quite red. There were 125 AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS, a dozen RUDDY TURNSTONE and three dozen BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER. After a short trip

[nysbirds-l] Mecox mudflats continue to delight!

The extended mudflats at Mecox continue to provide outstanding opportunities to see sandpipers and terns: this morning's sightings included nearly 300 common terns, dozens of Forster's and least terns, sanderlings, semipalmated, white rumped and least sandpipers, semipalmated and black bellied

Re: [nysbirds-l] Juvenile Brown Booby on Long Lake (Hamilton Co.)!

It would be interesting to compare photos of this bird with the one that was observed on a lake in Western Massachusetts last week. On Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 10:58 AM Joan Collins wrote: > Tom Whitney, (who lives in VT and has a camp on Long Lake) was out sailing > on Saturday (8/25/18) and a juve

[nysbirds-l] Juvenile Brown Booby on Long Lake (Hamilton Co.)!

Tom Whitney, (who lives in VT and has a camp on Long Lake) was out sailing on Saturday (8/25/18) and a juvenile Brown Booby landed on his mast and stayed for a really long time! He took many photos and videos. He said he was between where Big Brook empties into Long Lake and Round Island. (You c
