[nysbirds-l] Franklin's Gull Broome County Dorchester Park/Whitney Point Dam Area May 6th, 2017

[David Nicosia]

This morning Jim Hoteling found a strange gull with a hood and red bill at
Dorchester Park Whitney Point Dam area. Initial thoughts were a LAUGHING
GULL since we have had one before here. George Chiu got up there before me
and he was thinking FRANKLIN'S GULL instead. As I was about 5 minutes away
I get a text with the dreaded  "the bird flew". How many times does this
happen to you? Anyway, George and Jim tracked the bird as it flew over the
dam and dropped. The Whitney Point Elementary School with its ball fields
are on the other side. So I went there instead of Dorchester and when I saw
bunch of RING-BILLED GULLs on the ball field my excitement peaked, and it
was an easy find. I noticed the thick eye-rings first, smaller bill and
size and I agreed with George's assessment. Looked good for a FRANKLIN'S
GULL, a first county ebird record and possibly first county record!!!  I
texted an image to an all-out expert I know from the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology and he also agreed.

Images can be found here...
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S36586894

The bird was foraging and eating a bunch of earthworms. He was having a
feast since it was very wet and there were earthworms all over. Then the
bird started vocalizing which was really neat.  I have never heard a FRGU
before, certainly different than LAGU.  Then the bird took off alone and
flew back over the dam toward Dorchester Park. I went back there, refound
the bird, the bird didn't stay there long and it then took off and flew
around me for a few minutes I got some audio recordings which was really
neat. The bird flew north toward Upper Lisle County Park. I got it in my
scope and watched it until he was out of sight. The bird did not take off
that high as it stayed below the ridge line. So I went to Upper Lisle and
searched all places I know that gulls hang out and didn't find any gulls at
all. Hopefully, it will come back later today or tomorrow. The bird
certainly was finding a lot of food!!

[nysbirds-l] Cupsogue CP, Long Island

[Patricia Lindsay]

Among a nice gathering of shorebirds and terns on the flats was an 
exceptionally early adult Arctic Tern and a somewhat early White-rumped 
Sandpiper. On the ocean side our forlorn effort to connect with Pete and 
Taylor's Yellow-nosed Albatross yielded a single Sooty Shearwater heading east, 
along with fair numbers of  gannets, terns and scoters.

[nysbirds-l] Upcoming Linnaean Society of NY Program, Tuesday, May 9, 2017

[Anders Peltomaa]

On Tuesday evening, May 9 2017, the Linnaean Society of New York 2016-17
Speaker Program will feature this season's last two presentations.

6:00 pm — Project: Save the Choco – James Muchmore

Wildlife enthusiast and design conservationist James Muchmore will talk
about his journeys into the Chocó region of Ecuador and the Save the Chocó
project, which leverages his design, branding, and photography skill set to
support conservation efforts in the region. The Chocó region is made up of
rain forests, mountains, and coastal areas, running from southwest Panama
to northwest Ecuador. It is a biodiversity hotspot and the wettest region
of the planet. It harbors 9,000 species of vascular plants and is the most
floristically diverse region in the neotropics. In the Chocó there are
about 270 species of mammals, 210 species of reptiles, 500 species of birds
and 130 species of amphibians; many are endemic to the Chocó region. Join
Muchmore to learn more about the wildlife found in this region and the
efforts being taken to protect it.

7:30 pm — Polyglottal Passerines: Mimicry Is Not Just for Mockingbirds –
Richard Hoyer

While birding at Oregon’s Finley National Wildlife Refuge in his teens,
Rich Hoyer heard the most amazing thing—a Purple Finch incorporating sounds
of a California Scrub-Jay in its jumbled song—and thought he had discovered
something new, since such behavior wasn’t mentioned in any field guide.
Since then he’s been fascinated and intrigued by mimicry in birds,
collecting personal observations and recordings of the phenomenon. In this
audiovisual presentation, Hoyer will present examples of mimicry in
songbirds from throughout the Americas and share his enthusiasm for this
curious and often entertaining behavior. Hoyer currently leads tours to
such exciting locations as Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Costa Rica, Mexico,
Belize, and Jamaica, but also looks forward to his annual tours that
explore the beauty and diversity of his home state of Oregon.

The presentations are as usual in the Linder Theater on the first floor of
the American Museum of Natural History (enter at West 77th Street between
Central Park West and Columbus Avenue).

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Prothonotary in Queens

[Andrew Baksh]

After going missing for awhile. The bird was refound by Caesar Castillo. Tom 
Burke, Gail Benson and I just enjoyed close looks near the "silver rock" at 
Strack Pond. The bird is moving sometimes higher up in the nearby shrubs for 
anyone looking for behavior Intel.

[nysbirds-l] Report of a single Evening Grosbeak

[robert adamo]

I received a call on Friday afternoon from a friend in Quogue re: a specie
of bird she had never seen before. Pat Reindl is more a gardener than she
is a birder, but through the years she has encountered a number of
unfamiliar birds, which she has called me on...to our mutual benefit.
Today's exercise continued our record of success ! Starting with the
details that caught her eye, ie, colors, size and posture, combined with my
comments, she then moved on to Peterson's Field Guide (via the internet),
which gave her the confidence, and satisfaction, to be able to call (with
certainty) an adult, male EVGR ! The bird was seen on Thursday at ~ 1030,
didn't stay long and hasn't been seen since. Pat has promised to call if
the grosbeak returns, but it is now probably way north of L.I.
Coincidently, my last sighting of an Evening Grosbeak on L.I. was in
E.Quogue on 4/21/07 - also a singleton !

Cheers,
Bob
