[nysbirds-l] Massapequa Preserve Birds (Nassau County)

[ken feustel]

Anxious to bird off the barrier beach on this cold and windy day, I headed out 
to Massapequa Preserve, hoping that the recent three inches of powder would 
cover the very icy trails. Upon arriving I parked on Parkside Boulevard and 
headed in to the "Pittsburgh Ave." Pond. There were a number of Canada Geese 
present and one smallish white goose. My first thought was that I had found the 
elusive Ross's Goose, but as the bird turned sideways the bill was too long for 
a Ross's Goose and had a prominent grinning patch. Nevertheless, the small size 
of the bird, along with the rounded head and short neck, suggested a Ross's x 
Snow Goose hybrid. After consulting some photos of Snow Geese, the bill did 
seem intermediate between Snow Goose and Ross's Goose. I have posted some 
photos of the goose on my flickr site, along with photos of Ross's and Snow 
Geese. Heading further north I was pleasantly surprised to see the 
Orange-crowned Warbler feeding in the same stand of cattails where it was found 
on the Southern Nassau CBC in early January. There was a fair variety of 
waterfowl in the stream including Wood Duck (2) Pintail, American Wigeon, 
Gadwall, and Green-winged Teal. My FOS Common Grackle feeding along the creek 
edge was a reminder that blackbirds are moving north despite the weather.

habitats - enjoying nature, improving their skills, and supporting wetland 
conservation. At the same time the important data they collect contributes to 
our understanding of these species, their habitat needs and the health of the 
Great Lakes.

[nysbirds-l] First winter MEW GULL Brooklyn-YES

[Shane Blodgett]

Briefly refound first winter Mew Gull (the younger of the 2 and the only one 
seen more than once) on rocks across cove that is just south of BJ's Wholesale 
Club-viewed from walkway on ground floor- this is about .25 south of Caesar's 
Bay Shopping Center where bird had previously been reported. 
This is my first sighting of the bird since February 1.
As it has done before, after 5 minutes it took off toward the north over the 
Belt and then dropped down out of sight.

[nysbirds-l] Rochester - Adult male King Eider but No Gyr

[Willie D'Anna and Betsy Potter]

Several people were out looking for the Gyr at the Charlotte section of
Rochester on Wednesday. We were there from 9:30 to 2:30 without any luck.
Other people were there before us and after us so I am pretty sure it was
not seen at all yesterday. We did see three BALD EAGLES, one or two COOPER'S
HAWKS, an adult PEREGRINE FALCON, two SURF SCOTERS, three RED-THROATED and
one COMMON LOONS. Two FISH CROWS were in the parking lots, calling often,
for much of the time that we were there.

 

Afterwards, we headed west down Edgemere Drive to the RG & E power plant to
look at the waterfowl collected there. One of the first birds I put my scope
on was the adult male KING EIDER that has been around for weeks but not
reported recently until yesterday. The drive to and from home was uneventful
except for a SCREECH OWL sitting in a tree hole in Point Breeze.

 

Good birding!

Willie
