[nysbirds-l] EPCAL Rough-legged Hawks and dead loon

2015-02-28 Thread Michael Schrimpf
Emily Runnells and I made a quick stop at EPCAL (Suffolk County) this
afternoon to watch the Rough-legged Hawks (saw 4 in total, 3 light and one
dark). Just before we left, we walked over to a dead bird upside-down in
the snow, right at the start of the west runway (perhaps 30-40 meters from
the road). Thinking we would find a goose, imagine our surprise when it
turned out to be a Common Loon. Here's a link to a picture:
https://flic.kr/p/r8atsJ

Has anyone else seen this bird sitting there? The carcass was in pristine
condition (though quite frozen). We're curious about how long it may have
been there - we suspect that scavengers would not take long to discover a
meal like that, even if it's pretty icy. We also speculated about the
circumstances that led the bird to end up in grassland habitat so far from
the shore...

[nysbirds-l] 10 Red-necked Grebes - Smith Point CP (Suffolk)

2015-02-28 Thread Derek Rogers
This afternoon I carefully counted 10 Red-necked Grebes on the ocean side at 
Smith Point County Park. All birds were within a .5 mile stretch along the 
outer beach. I suspected 1 or 2 additional individuals but 10 was the safe 
total that I managed after several sweeps with my scope. At one point there 
were 7 birds in one binoc view.

The birds were diving very close to shore within the surf zone beneath a small 
feeding frenzy of Ring-billed and Herring Gulls. I suspect they were taking 
advantage of debris drifting from the nearby dredge project toward the east. 
Several Horned Grebe, Common Loons, and Red-breasted Merganser were also in the 
mix.

I also scoped the various portions of open water in Moriches Bay but failed to 
come up with any additional Red-necked Grebes. 

Best,
Derek Rogers

I found the Gyrfalcon this morning on the Wallkill River in Gardiner NY.  I
stopped to look at some Canada Geese in the open water, found one Snow
Goose, a few Mallards and a Bald Eagle.  A bit upstream on the ice, I found
the Gyr eating what looks like a duck. I watched it for about 15 minutes

I could see it circle the large island in the river so I have a feeling it
didn't go far.  It's the only open water in the area which has some

[nysbirds-l] Riverhead Pink Footed Goose

2015-02-28 Thread Kenton Gomez
Currently on Doctors path between Reeves and Sound avenue.  After searching 
multiple flocks in a couple mile radius I made one last attempt at my first 
stop and he must have just arrived.

[nysbirds-l] EPCAL Rough-legged Hawks and dead loon

2015-02-28 Thread Michael Schrimpf
Emily Runnells and I made a quick stop at EPCAL (Suffolk County) this
afternoon to watch the Rough-legged Hawks (saw 4 in total, 3 light and one
dark). Just before we left, we walked over to a dead bird upside-down in
the snow, right at the start of the west runway (perhaps 30-40 meters from
the road). Thinking we would find a goose, imagine our surprise when it
turned out to be a Common Loon. Here's a link to a picture:
https://flic.kr/p/r8atsJ

Has anyone else seen this bird sitting there? The carcass was in pristine
condition (though quite frozen). We're curious about how long it may have
been there - we suspect that scavengers would not take long to discover a
meal like that, even if it's pretty icy. We also speculated about the
circumstances that led the bird to end up in grassland habitat so far from
the shore...
