[Carney, Martin]

Sorry for the delayed post but I did observe the Trumpeter Swan yesterday
south of the park in front of the house until about 1:15 pm.  At that point
it joined some Canada Geese and swam around the jetties, out of view.

[nysbirds-l] ADMIN: DMARC Alert!

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

It appears that Gmail has joined the ranks of Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, and others 
with respect to their DMARC policy: 
https://sendgrid.com/blog/gmail-dmarc-update-2016/.

The key is that when certain email hosts follow DMARC policy, any time a 
message is claimed to have been sent from that identical host’s email server 
(i.e., a message posted by a subscriber with a Gmail email address, being read 
by a recipient with a Gmail email address) but which does not originate *from* 
the host’s servers (eList messages are distributed from Cornell’s servers), 
that email host (recipients with a Gmail account) will reject the message and 
mark it as spam or junk mail. Because all messages sent to NYSbirds-L are sent 
*from* the sender’s email address and then ultimately distributed *from* 
Cornell’s eList servers, they no longer follow DMARC guidelines and may be 
filtered undesirably by the recipient’s host server, depending upon your host 
(i.e., Yahoo to Yahoo, Hotmail to Hotmail, AOL to AOL, Gmail to Gmail, etc.). 
This is a primary issue with hosts following DMARC policy and is ultimately 
because of free email accounts being hacked or used to distribute junk mail and 
malware.

Please take care to check your spam folder or turn off spam filtering 
altogether, should you find lots of NYSbirds-L eList messages going into your 
junk/spam folder.

You can also check some of the archive sites to make sure your aren’t missing 
anything.

Here are some archive websites:

[nysbirds-l] Top 10 Locations Reviewed (NYS eBird Hotspots)

[Ben Cacace]

For the wiki pages the Top 10 locations (single and grouped sub-locations)
have been reviewed for Monroe County. The locations promoted to top 10 are
highlighted green. The sites that were moved out of the Top 10 still have
pages dedicated to them but they're static meaning they don't need
maintenance except for informational links added to the bottom section of
the page.

I broke up the wikipage called 'Braddock Bay Complex' since it was
potentially hiding too many good birding locations.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Townsend's Solitaire YES and Ross Goose

[John Mora]

Good evening.

The Townsend Solitaire was active and visible in the afternoon.  It was alert 
and stood often at top of pines and telephone lines.  We observed it eat a 
juniper berry.  Number of times it defecated indicated a well fed bird.  Good 
news for its likely survival.

The Sound near the Solitaire revealed small rafts of White Winged Scoters, one 
Common Loon and one Red Throated Loon. 

We were at at Belmont Lake State Park at 10:30 AM and the Barnacle Goose was 
not present.  Most Canada geese were gone.  We saw One pair of Common 
Mergansers and 6 Ring Necked ducks.  Coots remain.  

The private golf course near the cemetery had large numbers of grazing Canada 
Geese and one adult Ross Goose.  Pines near links entrance had many Red 
Breasted Nuthatches.  We had three in one glass in the parking lot.  No 
Barnacle, alas, again.

Cheers.

[nysbirds-l] Northport Winter Bird Census Results

[Brent Bomkamp]

Hi All,

The first ever Northport Winter Bird Census took place today, covering the
area between the Northern Nassau and Smithtown CBC circles on the North
Shore of Long Island.  The count was conducted by 10 intrepid observers
(Ken and Sue Feustel, Tim Dunn, Taylor Sturm, Pete Morris, Norm Klein,
Brent Bomkamp, and John Gluth) who recorded 87 species on the day of the
count, and 92 including count week birds.  Unfortunately, the rescheduling
of the pelagic resulted in us losing several counters, and ultimately
caused gaps in coverage leading to some difficult misses (Yellow-rumped
Warbler, Common Grackle, etc.)  The highlights were:

*Greater White-fronted Goose* - West Hollow Middle School, Melville (TD)
*Cackling Goose* - Carpenter Farm, Greenlawn (TD)
Wood Duck - Betty Allen Nature Park, Centerport (TD)
Eurasian Wigeon - Crab Meadow Beach, Northport (PM and TS)
*Harlequin Duck *- Valley Grove, Eatons Neck (BB)
Red-necked Grebe - Valley Grove, Eatons Neck (BB)
Black-bellied Plover - Target Rock, Lloyd Neck (KF and SF)
American Woodcock - Northport High School (TS)
Northern Saw-whet Owl - Northport (PM and TS)
*Red-headed Woodpecker* - Makamah Preserve, Fort Salonga (JG)
Brown Thrasher - Carpenter Farm, Greenlawn (TD)
*Orange-crowned Warbler *- Crab Meadow Beach, Northport (NK)

Other highlights include 32 Canvasback, three Great Cormorants, 15 Great
Horned Owls, 19 Eastern Screech-owl, 70 Tufted Titmice, and five Rusty
Blackbirds.  We hope to make this count an annual occurrence, so please
keep us in mind for next year.  Thank you to all of those who managed to
help out!

Good birding,

Brent Bomkamp
Eatons Neck

[nysbirds-l] Roughleg trip

[Michael Britt]

Mark French, Shayna Marchese, Mike Ruscigno, Diane Tishler, and myself took
an open-country winter raptor trip today. The Black Dirt Region held 15+
NORTHERN HARRIERS (six gray ghosts), 1 "Northern" RED-TAILED HAWK
(abieticola), 7 ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS (four light, three dark), 6 SHORT-EARED
OWLS (hunting Oil City pre-dawn), 500+ HORNED LARKS, 200 SNOW BUNTING, & 2
LAPLAND LONGSPURS (Liberty Lane).

The Shawangunk Grasslands held 14+ NORTHERN HARRIERS (This is certainly an
undercount, since birds that dispersed earlier in the day come back to the
roost site late in the day.), 1 "Northern" RED-TAILED HAWK (abieticola), 1
ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK (dark), & 11+ SHORT-EARED OWLS (Best count in the air at
once, however there were probably more like 14-15 present, since a small
number popped up close to the viewing platform, after the initial group.).

Vicki Bustamante just called to say she is watching a black headed Gull at 
Little Reed Pond in Montauk. To reach it drive down East Lake Drive Little Reed 
Is a marshy pond on the east side of the street. The Gull is quite cooperative, 
 sitting and feeding.

[nysbirds-l] Top 10 Locations Reviewed (NYS eBird Hotspots)

[Ben Cacace]

For the wiki pages the Top 10 locations (single and grouped sub-locations)
have been reviewed for Monroe County. The locations promoted to top 10 are
highlighted green. The sites that were moved out of the Top 10 still have
pages dedicated to them but they're static meaning they don't need
maintenance except for informational links added to the bottom section of
the page.

I broke up the wikipage called 'Braddock Bay Complex' since it was
potentially hiding too many good birding locations.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Painted Bunting YES (Staten Island)

[Joe T]

Bird continues at about 3:00 pm at the end of Ocean Avenue, which is right off 
the end of Arden Avenue on the south shore of the island. There is a regular 
lesser black-backed gull there also.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Townsend's Solitaire YES and Ross Goose

[John Mora]

Good evening.

The Townsend Solitaire was active and visible in the afternoon.  It was alert 
and stood often at top of pines and telephone lines.  We observed it eat a 
juniper berry.  Number of times it defecated indicated a well fed bird.  Good 
news for its likely survival.

The Sound near the Solitaire revealed small rafts of White Winged Scoters, one 
Common Loon and one Red Throated Loon. 

We were at at Belmont Lake State Park at 10:30 AM and the Barnacle Goose was 
not present.  Most Canada geese were gone.  We saw One pair of Common 
Mergansers and 6 Ring Necked ducks.  Coots remain.  

The private golf course near the cemetery had large numbers of grazing Canada 
Geese and one adult Ross Goose.  Pines near links entrance had many Red 
Breasted Nuthatches.  We had three in one glass in the parking lot.  No 
Barnacle, alas, again.

Cheers.

[nysbirds-l] Roughleg trip

[Michael Britt]

Mark French, Shayna Marchese, Mike Ruscigno, Diane Tishler, and myself took
an open-country winter raptor trip today. The Black Dirt Region held 15+
NORTHERN HARRIERS (six gray ghosts), 1 "Northern" RED-TAILED HAWK
(abieticola), 7 ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS (four light, three dark), 6 SHORT-EARED
OWLS (hunting Oil City pre-dawn), 500+ HORNED LARKS, 200 SNOW BUNTING, & 2
LAPLAND LONGSPURS (Liberty Lane).

The Shawangunk Grasslands held 14+ NORTHERN HARRIERS (This is certainly an
undercount, since birds that dispersed earlier in the day come back to the
roost site late in the day.), 1 "Northern" RED-TAILED HAWK (abieticola), 1
ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK (dark), & 11+ SHORT-EARED OWLS (Best count in the air at
once, however there were probably more like 14-15 present, since a small
number popped up close to the viewing platform, after the initial group.).

[nysbirds-l] Northport Winter Bird Census Results

[Brent Bomkamp]

Hi All,

The first ever Northport Winter Bird Census took place today, covering the
area between the Northern Nassau and Smithtown CBC circles on the North
Shore of Long Island.  The count was conducted by 10 intrepid observers
(Ken and Sue Feustel, Tim Dunn, Taylor Sturm, Pete Morris, Norm Klein,
Brent Bomkamp, and John Gluth) who recorded 87 species on the day of the
count, and 92 including count week birds.  Unfortunately, the rescheduling
of the pelagic resulted in us losing several counters, and ultimately
caused gaps in coverage leading to some difficult misses (Yellow-rumped
Warbler, Common Grackle, etc.)  The highlights were:

*Greater White-fronted Goose* - West Hollow Middle School, Melville (TD)
*Cackling Goose* - Carpenter Farm, Greenlawn (TD)
Wood Duck - Betty Allen Nature Park, Centerport (TD)
Eurasian Wigeon - Crab Meadow Beach, Northport (PM and TS)
*Harlequin Duck *- Valley Grove, Eatons Neck (BB)
Red-necked Grebe - Valley Grove, Eatons Neck (BB)
Black-bellied Plover - Target Rock, Lloyd Neck (KF and SF)
American Woodcock - Northport High School (TS)
Northern Saw-whet Owl - Northport (PM and TS)
*Red-headed Woodpecker* - Makamah Preserve, Fort Salonga (JG)
Brown Thrasher - Carpenter Farm, Greenlawn (TD)
*Orange-crowned Warbler *- Crab Meadow Beach, Northport (NK)

Other highlights include 32 Canvasback, three Great Cormorants, 15 Great
Horned Owls, 19 Eastern Screech-owl, 70 Tufted Titmice, and five Rusty
Blackbirds.  We hope to make this count an annual occurrence, so please
keep us in mind for next year.  Thank you to all of those who managed to
help out!

Good birding,

Brent Bomkamp
Eatons Neck
