[nysbirds-l] Dune Road, Suffolk County

[Mike]

Highlights of a morning driving and walking Dune Road from Shinnecock to 
Cupsogue included a single shearwater, probably Cory’s, at Shinnecock along 
with dozens of Gannets and about 10 Royal Terns milling around. A whale 
cruising by offshore was probably a Humpback. 

At Triton Lane I saw about 8 sharp-tailed Sparrows- all that I had decent looks 
at appeared to be Nelson’s, while over at Cupsogue the five or so that I had 
decent looks at all appeared to be Salt Marsh. Photos are on the NY Birders 
Facebook page.  An American Bittern was in the marshes near Triton, otherwise a 
scattering of the usual suspects.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Shorebird Report

[Steve Walter]

Why not? I can't let go. Because summer can't let go. And that's the brand
of birding that goes best with summer. Upon arriving on the East Pond, there
were a Lesser and a Greater Yellowlegs in the southeast corner.  As I made
my way toward the Sandy created cove, a Ruddy Turnstone flew out of there.
As I walked northward toward the raunt, a flock of about 25 Dunlin flew
toward the south end. At the raunt, I sat on the log along the shore,
waiting for flight shot opportunities of various things. While there, a
flock of 14 Pectoral Sandpipers flew in and landed about 50 feet away. I
tried to do some flock shots, trying to get as many in one frame as I could.
That was very brief, as a Peregrine came along (it can't let go either
(figuratively - it didn't catch any)). When I got home and looked at the
pictures that I did get, they revealed that one was actually a juvenile
White-rumped Sandpiper. That's as far north on the pond as I went. It is
October 22, so let's not overdo it. 

 

But with the weather so nice, I went out to the not so productive West Pond,
where at least I added a Killdeer. Trying to soak in more of the weather
gave me reason to look for Nelson's Sparrows in the South Marsh. While that
was not successful, it did put me underneath a small flock of flyover
Black-bellied Plovers and Red Knots. Throw in a Woodcock flying through the
parking lot at the start of last evening's mothing, 10 species of shorebird
for the weekend. I did worse in August on at least one weekend.

Fw: [nysbirds-l] photos & report of Say's Phoebe, Orange Co., 10/21

[Curt McDermott]

The bird was seen on liberty Ln., across the street from the platform on Oil 
City Rd (walk in only!)  It was found In the late morning yesterday.  The ID 
was made in late afternoon and then reported.  Several birders looked for it 
after that with no luck. Not reported yet today.

It has been quite a few years since I visited this area.  Does anyone have a 
birding guide to this area?  A list of the best spots to check?  I couldn't 
find anything online.
