[nysbirds-l] Bohemian waxwing - Nassau County

2015-01-26 Thread Stephane Perreault 
 There was a single Bohemian waxwing yesterday (Sunday 9 am) at the Sands Point 
Preserve, in Northern Nassau County. ?The bird was mixed with 18 cedar waxwing 
in a tree that is otherwise in a brushy area. ?The trail from which it was 
observed is the one that is parallel to the bluff on the Eastern side the 
preserve. ?The bird was observed approximately 150 yards NE of the Kettle pond.


It was identified as a Bohemian by the completely rufous undertail coverts. 
?Only once I saw this feature could I confirm its slightly larger size and 
redder face then the neighboring cedar waxwing. ?


The small flock of cedar waxwing was observed during both of my last two visits 
to the preserve (then 20 and 15 birds), but there was no Bohemian waxing on 
those days (December 20 and January 11).


Other areas to look for wintering cedar waxwing at Sands Point Preserved is the 
brushy area between the Kettle pond and the beach; and the trees near the bee 
hives (adjacent to the Museum parking lot).?


There is $10 fee per car for entrance to the preserve. ?Good luck if you go.


Stephane?

Re: [nysbirds-l] SPOTTED SANDPIPER, Somers

2015-01-26 Thread Richard Guthrie 
So, are we sure of the identification?

Common Sandpiper ( the Eurasian species) would be just about as unlikely
this time of year. They're almost identical. A good photo would help sort
them out (maybe).

Apologies for the late report- A Spotted Sandpiper yesterday
(1/25)  at Deans’s Bridge, Somers, was an
immense surprise.  The bird was later
observed on a rock in the middle of the reservoir looking north from the bridge
where rt. 116 crosses Muscoot Res. in Purdy’s, and some bad digiscoped photos
obtained.  Bird was relocated an hour or
two later right under the rt. 116 bridge in Purdy’s but immediately flushed, 
headed
north, & could not be relocated.  A check of the Purdy's bridge this morning 
turned up no trace of the bird, either.

[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots Website - Jan./2015

2015-01-26 Thread Ben Cacace 
Within the past week the webpages are now displaying well on Chrome and
Safari in case you've noticed this issue over the past month.

The NYS eBird Hotspots website has been updated for the current month. All
species totals on the monthly/seasonal species list table are updated for
the state and all 62 counties. The variable periods at the bottom of each
table now covers 'Year: 2015', 'Dec.-Jan./2015' and 'Jan./2015'.

Tip: If you want to see which species have been recently added to any of
the county lists or for New York State you can choose 'Overview' on the
'Explore a location' line near the top of the page. Then click 'First Seen'
on the eBird.org page under species total and number of checklists to view
the most recent additions. These columns are can be sorted by clicking on
the column heading.

For New York State you should see that 2 species have been added since
Christmas. One for Rockland County and one from New York County.
