This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, January 29th 2010 at 9pm. The highlights of today's tape are MEW GULL, DOVEKIE and RAZORBILL flights, KING EIDER, BARROW'S GOLDENEYE and YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD. The MEW GULL in Brooklyn continues its random but regular visits along the shore at Gravesend's Bay adjacent to the Belt Parkway. This European form, known abroad as Common Gull, is usually seen feeding on the grass with Ring-billed Gulls and feeding along the shoreline rocks near the pedestrian bridge that crosses over the Belt Parkway and connects with the promenade along the bay's shoreline. This bridge is adjacent to Bay 16th Street where street side parking is usually available near the bridge. There have been no further sightings of the WESTERN GREBE or THICK-BILLED MURRE that were a little east of this site. Two alcid flights of notable proportions took place this week. A large storm moving through Monday brought with it a number of DOVEKIES caught in the storm and deposited along the coast and other mostly unfortunate locations. At least 20 individuals have been accounted for many now deceased most brought to rehabilitators including 8 to the Hamptons Wildlife Rescue Center with 7 also brought to Riverhead and 2 to Bayshore. The more unusual locations have been 1 in Manorville, another found dead on a beach in New Suffolk on the north fork and 1 in Miller Field on Staten Island. One fortunate DOVEKIE, still swimming as of today, has pleased birders at the West Marina at Tudor Point in Great Rivers east of Heckscher State Park. To reach this site from the Heckscher Parkway take exit 45E and follow Great River Road south to its end following signs to the West Marina. Prior to this Montauk Point on Sunday experienced its 2nd large RAZORBILL flight in a week. Flocks were already moving by when the 1st birders arrived shortly after 7am numbers intensifying quickly thereafter and continuing in a steady stream until after 9am. Flocks were rounding the point coming in from the ocean and were also moving in streams on a westerly course out of Block Island Sound some close to shore and others at varying distances north of the point. An estimate of 4,000 was probably very conservative and many RAZORBILLS were just sitting around the point. Joining the fray were also a good number of BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKES with an estimate of 300 present. Both these species joined in the feeding frenzy of NORTHERN GANNETS, COMMON EIDER and other sea ducks and gulls just east of the point that was quite a spectacle. Also at the point a GLAUCOUS GULL was on the restaurant beach Sunday with at least 2 drake KING EIDERS on the south side as viewed from the Camp Hero overlook. While on Monday a female KING EIDER was spotted off the restaurant with a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT along the road west of the restaurant. A drake KING EIDER was still at Ditch Plains on Sunday. Also Sunday RAZORBILLS were along the beaches west of Montauk Harbor inlet and single adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS were on the ice at Fort Pond and at Lazy Point in Napeague with a RED-NECKED GREBE spotted in Fort Pond Bay. A RED KNOT was also at Napeague with them on Sunday. Three drake BARROW'S GOLDENEYE remain in the area, 1 at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge where it is usually seen with Common Goldeneyes on the bay west of the West Pond sometimes flying onto the pond, one off Bayville Avenue east of Bayville by the entrance to Centre Island and 1 along the Route 25 causeway between East Marion and Orient on the north fork. A young male KING EIDER
[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Mew Gull- NO 1/29
The Mew Gull could not be located in the vicinity of Bensonhurst Park along the belt in Brooklyn today (1/29/10) despite an exhaustive search of all Ring-billed Gulls in the area. Numbers of gulls are apparently way down from earlier in the season, as I would estimate there were no more than 150 individuals total.

[nysbirds-l] Dovekie article in Newdays
Below I have pasted the text from the Dovekie article that appeared in Newsday. I posted this originally because it was the first mention on NYSBIRDS of the fact that there were more than two DOVEKIES involved in this latest event. (Prior to this only the Staten Island and the Great River Dovekies had been mentioned.) Tom Burke now tells me there were at least 20 DOVEKIES on Long Island that were found dead or brought into wildlife rehabbers. I received a few comments questioning whether this event constitutes a noteworthy Dovekie crash. Thirty years ago perhaps this would have been a non-event, but I cannot recall any similar Dovekie crashes in the last decade, or for perhaps even longer back than that. While it is true that this event represents a small number in comparison to their population, since there are probably tens of thousands of Dovekies wintering in the 45 degree water that can be found 50-plus miles off Long Island, it is perhaps worthwhile to ask if there is a reason for so many on-shore records from the passage of such a moderate storm. Surely there were much more savage storms in recent winters that did not produce any on- shore Dovekies. In any event the Newsday article gives some idea of what is going on. Perhaps birders will find a few more Dovekies this weekend that we can all chase. Hugh BEGIN NEWSDAY ARTICLE If you've seen a dovekie, chances are something's wrong. The rare ocean birds are a bit larger than a human fist and look like small penguins. They dive into the water at high speeds to hunt fish, their wings locking together to protect them from cold and moisture. They can go their entire lives miles from the Long Island coast without being spotted by a person. So when eight dovekies ended up on land in two days earlier this week, the staff at the Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons in Hampton Bays was alarmed. By the time people brought them into the shelter, many of the dovekies were anemic and suffering from extreme cold. The ability of their wings to repel water had worn off. They needed IVs and injections of vitamins. "They're very, very difficult birds to rehabilitate," said Virginia Frati, the center's executive director. "Usually, we're rarely able to save dovekies." What's happening this year isn't immediately clear. Strong winds and storms can blow the tiny birds off the water. Dovekies only come to land when they're in distress. In a normal year, the center sees one or two. They breed near the Arctic Circle and fly south for the winter. The high number of birds this year - three other dovekies were found earlier this month on the East End - is unprecedented, Frati said. Monday's winds were strong, surpassing 45 mph, with a high surf. By that night, three birds had made it to the shelter. The clinic's medical specialists put each bird in a small, dark box to calm its nerves. "These particular birds you want to handle as little as possible," said Ryan Ortiz, who was on duty when the birds arrived. One died overnight, a result of being out of the ocean for too long. Another four arrived Tuesday morning, and one more came in that night. Over the next few days, the clinic's staff tried to save as many as possible. Only two survived. The clinic released the two birds Wednesday morning. Frati said the other six will be studied to find out if they came inland for a reason besides the bad weather. "They were basically the healthiest ones of the group," Ortiz said. "You feel bad that you lost as many as you did, but you feel good that you were at least able to help two."

I don't think any password is needed for the video that is linked to the article and which highlights the fragile nature of these unexpected visitors. I didn't think the dovekie at Great River/Timber Point seemed distressed, however although others more knowledgeable than me might have another view. http://www.27east.com/video.cfm?video=166 Jane F.
