RE:[nysbirds-l] Pileated Woodpecker hole?

[Rich Perkins / TAM]

Hi again,

 

Thanks for all the feedback on the pictures.  I received about 12 emails and
everyone thought it was a Pileated Woodpecker hole.  Some had complete
certainty!  We'll go back tomorrow and see if we have any luck finding it!!

 

If you have any further feedback or comments please send.

 

Thank you.

Subject: Pileator Woodpecker hole?

 

Aidan and I were walking in Avalon Preserve today in Stony Brook, NY and
came across two fresh holes in a dead tree.  It really looks like something
a Pileated Woodpecker would make.  Does anyone have any thoughts on what
this hole could be if not a Pileated?  Below is a link to the picture on
Flicker.

Sands Point Preserve on the north shore of LI. I walked the beach around low

RE: [nysbirds-l] Bohemian Waxwing

[Steve Walter]

I posted a picture at http://www.stevewalternature.com/  from this morning.
I was with Steve Schellenger and John Gaglione, when John spotted the
Bohemian Waxwing at the top of a deciduous tree in the area where it's been
seen before - where you descend into the median area at the turnaround. That
made it easy and we were able to see where it flew down to. If down low
among the bushes - and not along the edge - it could easily go undetected. A
gray bird in a gray background, as the picture will show.

[nysbirds-l] Common Merganser CP Reservoir

[Gabriel Willow]

I led a winter bird walk for NYC Audubon in Central Park today.  It was chilly 
and damp but we saw some nice stuff.

Highlights included a stunning male Common Merganser in the reservoir (open 
water near the fountain at south end), along with 3 female Hooded Merganser, 2 
Am. Coot, and numerous mallards, Canada geese, and gulls (no rare gulls that I 
could pick out).

At the feeders we had the lingering Common Redpoll along with ~ 20 American 
Goldfinches, an American Tree Sparrow, Chipping Sparrow, and 4 Fox Sparrows.

A Brown Thrasher was a surprise at Strawberry Fields.  

We also saw 4 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, which seems like a lot for a cold 
winter...

Good Cold Birding,

Gabriel Willow
NYC Audubon

[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon this morning: NO

[Corey Finger]

Carrie Laben and I spent from early AM through 10:30 AM trying to find the
Gyrfalcon with no luck. It apparently is most reliable in the afternoon.

Only birds of note during our visit were two Rough-legged Hawks (one at
Shawangunk, one along Hoagerburgh), 2 Bald Eagles at the spillway on the
Wallkill River, Common Goldeneyes, Hooded Mergansers, and a Common
Merganser downstream from the spillway, an American Kestrel on Bruyn
Turnpike, a Peregrine Falcon on Bates Lane, and a couple of Horned Lark
flocks around Blue Chip Farm.

Good Birding,
Corey Finger

[nysbirds-l] Any gyrfalcon sightings today? Feb 14?

[Thomas Rhindress]

Wondering if it is worth the 1.5 hour drive to search the back roads near.
Blue Chip Farms for the gyrfalcon. Haven't seen any updates here or on
ebird since yesterday.

Thank you in advance

Tom Rhindress and Sarah Galbraith
