[nysbirds-l] Update on Ross's Gull from Jack Delehanty

[Joan Collins]

Hi Everyone,

 

Jack Delehanty called to let me know that the Ross’s Gull was back in front
of his house for ½ hour mid-morning.  It also continues to occasionally
bathe in the water near the culvert under the road just down the hill past
his house.

 

Today, I ran into someone that used to work at the Wild Center (natural
history museum of the Adirondacks located in Tupper Lake) and she mentioned
that they feed the Otters Trout – and that they have a lot of fish eggs.  I
gave this information to Jack Delehanty also.  It would be great if the Wild
Center could donate the fish eggs for the Ross’s Gull for the length of its
visit.

 

We are going into a cold snap and the rivers and open channels will likely
start to freeze over (it is unusual for them to be open at all at this time
of year, but our winters are rapidly warming and unpredictable…).  I don’t
know how this may affect the Ross’s Gull and its movements.

 

Barry Blust – Jack Delehanty has your eyepiece!  (I’ll send you his contact
info.)

[nysbirds-l] Lost scope eyepiece

[Barry Blust]

Apparently the eyepiece to my Leica scope came loose and fell off 
without me noticing it.  I believe this happened on 01/28 after I 
observed the Ross's Gull in Tupper Lake.  The eyepiece is a Leica 
20x-60x zoom lens.  If anyone found it please let me know.


Thanks.

[nysbirds-l] Tufted Duck at Swan Lake, Patchogue (Suffolk Co.)

[Ken Feustel]

A female or immature male ( a relatively long tuft if seen from a good angle) 
Tufted Duck was sleeping with a large (900+) mixed scaup flock on Swan Lake in 
Patchogue around 12:00PM. Also present were a pair of Wood Duck. This flock was 
by far the largest flock of scaup we have seen on any freshwater pond this 
winter. There were a decent number of scaup on Patchogue Lake (150+) as well - 
perhaps some recent arrivals. i will post some photos of the sleeping Tufted 
Duck on my flickr site later today.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ross's Gull benefits the Tupper Lake area (no sighting)

[gabriel willow]

I just wanted to chime in to agree with Tom's excellent point, and along those 
lines, to heartily recommend Larkin's Deli in Tupper Lake.  It looks like an 
unprepossessing gas station/general store, but they have incredible food 
(breakfast sandwiches and such) and make everything from scratch (and I mean 
everything - the bread for the sandwiches, the fudge by the register, and the 
most amazing apple fritters I've ever had).
Celebrate your Ross's Gull sighting with an apple fritter, and maybe bring some 
back as a consolation prize for your birder friends who don't make it up to see 
the bird!  And say hi to Sheila at Larkin's, she's awesome.
Cheers,
Gabriel WillowNYC Audubon

how many visitors are coming to see the rare gull (and other wildlife

total thru the full stay of this bird, and then, at least very  
roughly, work out how much money may have been spent, given to local  
and regional businesses through the big influx -  it may end up being  
a very substantial amount!  It sounds as though birders from many  
states & at least some provinces are or have been there, and it is  
very possible, should the Ross's Gull remain for viewing for some  
time, that seekers from countries beyond Canada will come in hopes of  
seeing this bird: yes, it's that rare - & a bird that a very many  
birders world-wide have not seen (even some who have spent time in the  
Arctic regions)!  For those that have time, explore more of the ADK  
region; perhaps some other rarity is waiting discovery, and if not,  
the whole region is one with many winter wonders.

[nysbirds-l] Kings County white-winged gulls

[Sean Sime]

This morning at roughly 7:50am I watched a probable immature Glaucous Gull
fly NE over Kensington towards Prospect Park. I contacted a few local
birders I thought may be out near the park in the hopes it put down on the
lake.
It was reported shortly thereafter sitting on Prospect Lake by Dennis
Hrehowsik.

By the time I was able to get there the Glaucous was gone, but two distinct
first winter Iceland Gulls put down. One was a very pale and robust bird,
relative to the Herring Gulls next to it and a second, smaller and darker
bird with a very dark face.

Good birding,

Sean Sime

[Ryan MacLean]

Kevin McGrath just called to tell me that the Ross's is currently sitting on 
ice near 1850 NY-30, Tupper Lake. He also provided a dropped pin of the 
location:

observers. Now if it can just hang in there for one more day so I can finally
