  The Buffalo Bird Report is a service provided by your
  Buffalo Museum of Science and the Buffalo Ornithological
  Society. To contact the Science Museum, call 896-5200. Press
  the pound key to report sightings before the end of this
  report.

  BROWN BOOBY continues to highlight Niagara Frontier reports
  received October 10 through October 17.

  The BROWN BOOBY at the source of the Niagara River has been
  reported daily this past week. The bird has been roosting in
  the evening and early morning on the reef lighthouse
  structure. By day, it has flown out of sight onto Lake Erie,
  or into Donnelly's Pier on the Buffalo waterfront. October 17,
  the BOOBY was found downriver on one of the International
  Railroad Bridge abutments. Most observations have been from
  the Erie Basin Marina Tower in Buffalo or from the shoreline
  near the old fort in Fort Erie, Ontario. The reef lighthouse
  is one mile from the tower, and 3/4 of a mile off the Fort
  Erie shore.

  Up to Lake Ontario, October 11, a NORTHERN GANNET was
  reported again, this time off Sunset Beach in the Orleans
  County Town of Carlton. Two PARASITIC JAEGERS continue
  nearby at the mouth of Johnson Creek. And, two juvenile
  PARASITIC JAEGERS chasing COMMON TERNS off Fort Niagara
  State Park at the mouth of the Niagara River.

  The Bird Report will be updated Thursday evening, October
  24. Please call in your sightings by noon Thursday. You may
  report sightings after the tone. Thank you for calling and
  reporting.

Re:[nysbirds-l] [GeneseeBirds-L] White Faced Ibis

2013-10-17 Thread Jerry Lazarczyk 
I saw the two Ibis from 2:15pm until almost 3pm when I left. Super looks at 
close range (10-20 yards). Jerry Lazarczyk 

There are reports on Cayuga Birds today of 2 White-Faced Ibis at Benning marsh

Re: [nysbirds-l] Red-headed Woodpecker at Kissena Corridor Park

2013-10-17 Thread Andrew Baksh 
This gets interesting.  About a week ago, I told Eric Miller that I thought
I had an immature Red-headed Woodpecker fly across in front of me exactly
in the location Joseph Sullivan described at Kissena Corridor.  The event
was quick and I could not relocate the bird and so chalked it up to wishful
thinking.

After receiving Eric's message today, I spoke to him and we briefly
discussed whether his bird was the bird I saw or not.  However, since I had
nothing much to work with, it was a no go in comparing notes to Eric's
sighting. Just reading Joseph's e-mail made me wonder.  Two Red-headed
Woodpeckers or one?

I hope we get some photos so we do some photo forensics.  It would be fun
to determine if we have multiple birds or just the one ranging across the
road and back.

Cheers!

I also spotted an immature red-headed woodpecker at Kissena Corridor Park
this morning. It was in the patch of woods along the southern wood-chip
trail, east of the gardens and west of the sumac patch.
At the main part of Kissena Park I spotted a immature yellow-bellied

Add Queens, to the list of boroughs reporting Red-headed Woodpeckers.

I received a message today from Eric Miller who reported seeing an immature 
Red-headed Woodpecker on Tuesday, near the lake at Kissena Park.  No guarantee 
the bird is still there but worth knowing to keep and eye and ear out for the 
bird.

Re: [nysbirds-l] New Deadline for Comments on Gateway Mgmt. Plan

2013-10-17 Thread Andrew Mason 
If anyone is interested in using the comments of the NY State Ornithological 
Assoc. in preparing their own submission, they are pasted in below.  I believe 
NY City Audubon also has suggestions for comments on their website.

Andy Mason, Conservation Chair

Suzanne McCarthy September 30, 2013
Acting Superintendent
Gateway National Recreation Area


Dear Superintendent McCarthy:

I am writing on behalf of our organization with comments on the draft general 
management plan for the Gateway National Recreation Area.  The NY State 
Ornithological Assoc. is the umbrella group for bird clubs and a number of 
Audubon chapters in NY State. We represent 46 member organizations and 700 
individual members. Gateway National Recreation Area is well-known and 
supported by our member clubs and individual members, and is one of the 
locations most visited by the birding community in New York.  Our organization 
has held field trips to various locations in the area, including visits from 
the NY State Young Birders Club which we sponsor.

We have long been involved with management of natural resources, particularly 
birds, on federal lands in New York State.  Within the past year and a half we 
have submitted comments on management plans for Wallkill National Wildlife 
Refuge and Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge.  As with Gateway, we emphasize 
protection of avian resources in balance with access and recreation.

We are concerned that the preferred Alternative B of the pending draft 
management plan includes actions that would negatively impact important bird 
habitat and birds in the Gateway area, and threaten the long-term well-being of 
these resources for the future.  This alternative recognizes the potential for 
visitor use to degrade habitats and affect wildlife with resulting impacts that 
could violate the Endangered Species Act.  Clearly this is an unacceptable 
scenario.  No governmental agency should engage in management activities that 
could conflict with the ESA or other important environmental protections.

We oppose planned recreation activities for Big Egg Marsh, Canarsie Pol, and 
Hoffman and Swinburne Islands.  Numerous species of waterbirds and shorebirds 
depend on these areas for nesting and feeding.  Increased human presence and 
activity can bring nest abandonment and predation with reduced production in 
these very important breeding areas.  These locations are not appropriate for 
recreation and should receive a high level of protection.

Alternative B envisions removal of grasslands that are important for a number 
of state and federally listed species.  This habitat type has already 
experienced major losses regionally, with a corresponding decline in grassland 
birds.  Rare plant species would also be negatively impacted by this 
development.  

In particular, the Floyd Bennett Field grasslands hold potential for increased 
breeding of grassland birds with proper management.  Grasshopper Sparrows—a 
species recognized as of great conservation need has nested there in the past.  
Other grassland bird species could also utilize this area and are threatened by 
development and increased recreation activities.  Grasslands should receive a 
high priority for protection in the plan.  

Development of Plumb Beach that would result from adoption of Alternative B 
threatens horseshoe crabs—an at risk species, and important food source for 
rapidly declining Red Knots, as well as other shorebirds.  This area is an 
important stopover and refueling site for these birds that likely have few 
alternative feeding sites.  The management plan should consider the threats and 
importance of Plumb Beach and include protective actions rather than 
development.

The declining and environmentally important marshes of the Jamaica Bay NWR 
should likewise receive higher levels of protection than envisioned under 
alternative B.  These areas should be classified as sensitive resource 
subzones, reflecting their critical place in the overall ecosystem of the 
Gateway area.  Marshes and other wetlands in urban settings are among the most 
threatened natural areas, and their importance as wildlife habitat, for storm 
protection and improving water quality cannot be overstated.

The Jamaica Bay NWR should be reserved for passive recreation only, in 
consideration of its purpose as a wildlife refuge.  Activities such as biking, 
kayaking and other boating, fishing, etc. are inappropriate for this area.

On balance it is the view of our organization that Alternative C, identified as 
“ . . . least damaging to the biological and physical environment and best at 
protecting and enhancing natural and cultural resources.” should replace 
Alternative B as the preferred alternative.  Alternative C will provide Gateway 
with a management course that will allow future generations to benefit from the 
special qualities and opportunities it has provided since its

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Sparrows

2013-10-17 Thread Anne Swaim 
The standing native grasses left unmown this fall on the Croton Point main
landfill are continually to attract and feed a nice show of sparrows.

The best activity was again on the south side of landfill along the gravel
paths in the morning: good numbers of savannah (40+) and song sparrows
(20+) along with two Lincoln's sparrows. The vesper sparrow seen twice over
the weekend wasn't seen yesterday but there were glimpses at a possible but
unconfirmed clay-colored sparrow in this area.

The red cedar tree along the road down from the campground parking is still
quite full with fruit with 40+ yellow-rumped warblers at a time feeding on
it.

The lower tent camping area was also quite busy with cedar waxwings and
robins competing with starling flocks for dogwood berries and the remaining
poison ivy berries. In this area were also good numbers of white-throated
sparrows moving through the brush with several swamp sparrows, two eastern
towhees and two brown thrashers.

  BROWN BOOBY continues to highlight Niagara Frontier reports
  received October 10 through October 17.

  The BROWN BOOBY at the source of the Niagara River has been
  reported daily this past week. The bird has been roosting in
  the evening and early morning on the reef lighthouse
  structure. By day, it has flown out of sight onto Lake Erie,
  or into Donnelly's Pier on the Buffalo waterfront. October 17,
  the BOOBY was found downriver on one of the International
  Railroad Bridge abutments. Most observations have been from
  the Erie Basin Marina Tower in Buffalo or from the shoreline
  near the old fort in Fort Erie, Ontario. The reef lighthouse
  is one mile from the tower, and 3/4 of a mile off the Fort
  Erie shore.

  Up to Lake Ontario, October 11, a NORTHERN GANNET was
  reported again, this time off Sunset Beach in the Orleans
  County Town of Carlton. Two PARASITIC JAEGERS continue
  nearby at the mouth of Johnson Creek. And, two juvenile
  PARASITIC JAEGERS chasing COMMON TERNS off Fort Niagara
  State Park at the mouth of the Niagara River.

  The Bird Report will be updated Thursday evening, October
  24. Please call in your sightings by noon Thursday. You may
  report sightings after the tone. Thank you for calling and
  reporting.
