[nysbirds-l] Tiana Snowy Owl
Yesterday, a Snowy Owl (the 1st of 2, as of today) was seen by a local birder, who made some phone calls to try to get other folks on the bird, but thought it best for the owl, to not post it on the listserve. I was able to get down to see it, and respected the finder's wishes and also didn't report it. When it was posted earlier today, it was with the finder's blessings, after having a change of heart ! I also had 3 T.V's. in the Roanoke section of Riverhead.

[nysbirds-l] South Shore Nassau: ducks, brant, yellowlegs, goldfinches, hermit thrush
Hi Everyone, I spent the morning birding Massapequa Preserve and Lake, and around Jones Beach - my main goal was to find some cool ducks. At Massapequa Lake saw lots of Mallards and Hooded Mergansers. (around 9am) I stopped at the dock at the end of Alhambra Road, saw lots of Brant in the bay and a single greater yellowlegs. At Jones Beach saw countless Brant everywhere. Not much going on by the Coast Guard Station (besides Brant) Saw a single female redwing blackbird, a mixed flock of goldfinches and juncos, as well as a hawk patrolling (sorry couldn't ID) in the median west of the Coast Guard Station. At Massapequa Preserve saw ~8 American Wigeons, 4 gadwall, and mallards at the pond by New Hampshire Ave. Also saw an unidentified duck - perhaps a female pintail? I have to compare my pics to a field guide. Several Carolina Wrens, Cardinals, Song Sparrows, downy woodpeckers, and a hermit thrush were present along the trail by this pond. I'll post pics to my blog http://longislandbirding.blogspot.com/ tonight. Would be great if someone can help me ID the mystery duck/ possible Pintail : ) Good birding, Rob (Massapequa) -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] Honoring a man, who was also a birder, at his Funeral Service, and then in the field !
Today I attended Bill Reeves' Funeral Service at The Presbyterian Church in Northport. Bill was a great guy, who had things in the right order...family, friends, church, community and country. I feel blessed that I got to know him fairly well, due to our shared passion for birds, and service as members of NYSOA. As I headed back to Riverhead, I thought of all the birding we did on our trips up state to NYSOA board meetings, and also on the delegates field trips at the annual meetings. One of the former that stands out is stopping at Pelham Bay Park and finding a Long-eared Owl looking down at us - we "flew" up to Vestal that day ! Today, with Bill as my co-pilot again, I made a stop at the Calverton Grasslands, where 4 N. Harriers (1 a Gray Ghost) were hunting, a cock Ring-necked Pheasant, and 7 Horned Larks were observed. Before reaching home, an adult Coopers and an adult Red-tail were added to the tally...with another memory being added to the many cherished already !

[nysbirds-l] Snowy Owl Edith Read Rye
Today at 12:22 PM A snowy owl was found at Edith Read at approximately 10:30 AM. I viewed the bird with Tom Burke from the orange tape at the overlook over the beach on the sound side. Take the path from the parking lot through the bamboo to the overlook. The bird was on the rocky point. Check in with the office to get updates on the bird and where to view it without disturbing it. I was hesitant to post this because of all of the drama with people disturbing these beautiful owls. I am only posting it because of the Snowy Owl at Piermont years back. I was a young guy when I saw that bird. It got me into birding. I am posting this owl in hopes it could possibly create some birders like the snowy owl that got me into birding at Piermont. Please do not disturb the bird.

[nysbirds-l] Orange-crowned Warbler, Prospect Park/Kings County
This morning at roughly 11am I was treated to views of a bathing Orange-crowned Warbler where the Lullwater opens up towards the Peninsula. The bird preened for a few minutes at eye level and eventually worked it's way high into the trees and across Wellhouse Drive onto the base of Lookout Hill. The wildflower meadow on top of Lookout Hill would be worth checking. The feeders at Breeze Hill have already drawn a crowd with many Goldfinch, House Finch and a single group of 5 White-breasted Nuthatch. Ring-billed Gull numbers were up over 300. Seems like they are aware of the impending weather.
