Re: [nysbirds-l] Birdingwatching In the Time of Covid-19.

[Cesar Castillo]

Hi,
Thanks for this email.  I can echo your experience.  Since mid March I have 
only bird watched from my windows of my 9th story apartment here in Elmhurst 
Queens.  I have been surprised by the variety of migrants that utilize the 
backyards of the homes and my building that are only 1-2 blocks away from 
Queens Center Mall and Queens Blvd.  I never thought Catbirds would make their 
homes in someone's yard near me.  I wake up often also to the sound of a 
Carolina Wren singing and to the squawking of a family of Crows.  These days 
they have taken to attacking the nests of two of the local pairs of 
Mockingbirds.  I know my street used to have more woodpeckers, including Downy 
and Red-bellied WP, but I have only been able to find the Downy.  
Another interesting note is that of the few migrants I have seen, 50% have been 
female and the another 10-15% I can't say.  A silent Red-eye Vireo, a pale 
Great-crested Flycatcher and a couple others.
Finally, it is a new experience for me to see most of these birds from above 
rather than from below or eye-level.   This afternoon I was treated to a group 
of Chimney Swifts swooping by the corner of my building (below my window) and 
just a few yards away.  I could almost reach out and touch them, if it wasn't 
for the pesky gravity issue.  
Cheers,
César

disinfectant, and do it more than once.  I appreciate your posting.

This pandemic has forced me into birding the same mile of Riverside Park south

has provided me with plenty of FOY pleasures.  Nevertheless, this routine has 
shown me that not all nature just passes through affording thrilling chance 
encounters, but that there is a natural “neighborhood" just outside my door 
which changes slowly with the seasons.  Fortunately, Springtime is when the 
male birds must stake out a territory and proclaim their constant presence 
through glorious song in order to attract mates.

It has been my newfound pleasure to recognize the singing 7+ days of individual 
Towhees, Cardinals, House Finches, and finally the Catbirds in their respective 
“blocks” (there are just too many House Sparrows, Pigeons, Robins, and 
Starlings to keep track of).  This has been a chance to watch the gradual 
cessation of White-throated Sparrows, the aggressive courtship of House 
Sparrows, Robins giving chase, Starlings gathering nest material, and now the 
constant high-pitched pleas for food from the gaping yellow mouths of awkward 
fledgelings.

I now identify exactly three male Northern Flickers who alert each other with 
their steady staccato calls of their “turf” across from 82nd, 84th, and 91st 
streets.  A pair of Downy Woodpeckers whinny in the middle at 86th.  I’ve found 
two of the Flickers clearing out respective tree holes in Hippo Playground and 
just south of River Run Playground.  Last week I saw a female sticking her head.

Since my first walk I have expected every day the loud “teakettle, teakettle  
teakettle” of the Carolina Wren just north of Hippo Playground.  Last Wednesday 
I saw the wren on a tree stump by the high stone wall, but heard the song from 
a few yards away - this must be the female mate. But then came a plaintive peep 
a few yards in the other direction.  Then all three swooped to a scrawny 
sapling across my path - it was the baby getting fed.  Dare I say a tinge of 
grandparental pride?

Stay safe birding,

subspeceis!Shorebirds are still new to me.

Re: [nysbirds-l] OCWA or MGWA

Ok, great to learn so much on a more familiar species.  Thanks for all the help 
and clarification!I learned more about Orange-crowned Warblers in this one week 
when I thought it might be a MGWA, than in all the years I have been seeing 
them with no doubt in my mind as to what they were.  Ironic.

Dear All,
I have posted the original images on flicker.  I have not messed with the 
photos except in increasing their sharpness.  I can see how this could be an 
orange-crowned warbler, however I remember seeing a grey hood that extended 
quite a bit, Carry Laben and I immediately thought Mourning W until we looked 
at the photos and thought MacGillivray's.  Memory is fickle though when it 
comes to details, I don't tend to just trust mine without evidence.  The hood, 
if it is real is most notable in the 2nd and 7th link below.  
Thank you all, it's too bad no one else has been able to see it.  I attempted 
to find it on Monday morning, but there was active construction in the location 
where it was found, and most of the snow in the park had melted, giving this 
bird and all the other birds found in the same spot ample opportunity to find 
food elsewhere.

[nysbirds-l] OCWA or MGWA

[Cesar Castillo]

Dear All,
I have posted the original images on flicker.  I have not messed with the 
photos except in increasing their sharpness.  I can see how this could be an 
orange-crowned warbler, however I remember seeing a grey hood that extended 
quite a bit, Carry Laben and I immediately thought Mourning W until we looked 
at the photos and thought MacGillivray's.  Memory is fickle though when it 
comes to details, I don't tend to just trust mine without evidence.  The hood, 
if it is real is most notable in the 2nd and 7th link below.  
Thank you all, it's too bad no one else has been able to see it.  I attempted 
to find it on Monday morning, but there was active construction in the location 
where it was found, and most of the snow in the park had melted, giving this 
bird and all the other birds found in the same spot ample opportunity to find 
food elsewhere.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Lake Montauk Brown Booby, Montauk, NY (Suffolk Co.) -update

[Cesar Castillo]

The Brown Booby was viewed by my wife and myself at nearly last light this 
afternoon.  It was located in the oyster hatchery as previously posted by Angus 
Wilson among some roosting cormorants.  These are located just off the marina 
on Star Island.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ash-throated Flycatcher

[Cesar Castillo]

The bird was there today moving along the fence and going deeper in the 
vegetation at times.  Even as far as the neighboring houses.Also, the gates to 
the parking lot were closed today, so birders had to park in the nearby areas 
and walk to the parking lot.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Kings County Cerulean, Yellow-throated Warbler + Radar/Wind discussion

For those of us who can't stay up all night watching the radar there is this

see how things went overnight.

 I was fortunate enough to see the male Cerulean Warbler in Prospect Park this

checklist with ID quality photos can be seen here.
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S29356904

For those on the list that watch radar and wind maps, last night offered a true 
'teachable moment." The surface winds were from the NE and SE overnight. There 
was no visible lift off north of Virginia on radar maps as of 10:30pm and no 
measurable drop out this morning at 5:30am.
I use this radar link:http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/northeast_loop.php

And this wind 
map:http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/1000hPa/orthographic=-76.16,41.82,2048/loc=-73.010,40.993

Given what was visible (to me) I decided to not be out first thing. As tweets 
from Prospect Park starting coming in it was clear birds moved last night. So 
curiosity prompted some conversation. What Shane Blodgett was kind enough to 
point out was on the wind map I use one can search by elevation. By clicking 
the "earth" icon in the lower left corner of the wind map you can change the 
height for the wind readings. I have more research to do, but by changing the 
height to 850 (this is a pressure reading, but correlates with the altitudes 
birds migrate at) I could immediately see the mid-level winds were from the SW 
overnight and provided an explanation for the influx of birds in the park and 
along the coast this morning.
If other list members have more/other sites they find useful in this regard 
please share. The technology and information accessible at our fingertips is 
exciting!

[nysbirds-l] Connecticut Warbler at Kissena corridor, Queens county

[Cesar Castillo]

There was a Connecticut warbler on wood chipped path just past the soccer field 
on peck ave, off kissena blvd.  Its a path with a fenced in area on one side. 
The bird was walking at the edge of the path under some tall grasses, chased an 
insect and then disappeared under them. It was a tallish warbler with plenty of 
yellow beneath,  but the yellow ended under the breast defined by a dark 
horizontal bar,  not dark black but well defined. Nice gray hood with bold eye 
ring, bold enough to stand out from 50 feet away. I was too busy confirming my 
ID visually to get a picture of it before it disappeared. 

Otherwise the corridor was birdier than kissena park proper.

 I called the Visitors Center this morning and was told that the kinkajou was 
captured by NPS yesterday (Wednesday).

It had wandered away from Big John's and was found on the opposite side of 
Cross Bay Blvd, near a florist in Broad Channel (south of the Visitor's 
Center).  It was asleep when found, so the capture was easy.

The guy who answered the phone was not on duty yesterday and could not provide 
any details on what NPS planned to do with it.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Unknown mammal - escaped illegal pet @ Jamaica Bay East Pond Trail

[Cesar Castillo]

Dear All,
Thanks for the interest.  The two gentlemen (Simon and Tripper) who were 
birding at the same time as me, and who were the first people I showed the 
animal too also thought Kinkajou.  I also would agree that it is a Kinkajou 
from the descriptive pictures online.  The prehensile tail was the first 
feature I noticed on this animal, it really stands out.  
Quote "The rangers at the refuge are aware of the situation and are on it.  
Stella Miller"Yes, I had pointed the animal out to the Rangers at the Refuge.  
I wasn't sure how they would ever find that again once it moved on.  Hopefully 
the traps suggested by some on the list serve would be successful.   César

 Yes, Paul is correct, it appears to be either a Kinkajou or Olingo (both are 
neotropical cousins of raccoons and ringtails) - notice the prehensile tail, 
which only opossums have around our parts.  Who would have one for a pet, and 
if they did, why would they toss it at a temperate wildlife refuge where it 
surely wouldn't survive the winter?
I hope someone can tempt it down with some bananas or something and send it to 
a zoo or animal rescue.

[nysbirds-l] worm-eating@ kissena park

[Cesar Castillo]

Seen now at north-east end of velodrome

Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

From:"Robert A. Proniewych" 
Date:Wed, Aug 12, 2015 at 4:51 PM
Subject:[nysbirds-l] American Avocet

Following up on Andrew's discovery of an American Avocet at the East Pond of 
Jamaica Bay WR. Ed Becher and myself made our way there after 1:30pm. We walked 
the west side of the pond from the north end and immediately found a single 
White rumped Sandpiper. Continuing past Dead Man's Cove scanning the east side 
of the pond down by the Raunt, Ed found the Avocet roosting amongst the Black 
Ducks and Mallards. Also seen were the previously reported Black and 
Gull-billed Terns found by Sean and Shane. If one used the path to Big John's 
Pond, one could look across the pond and possibly pick out the Avocet among the 
ducks.

[nysbirds-l] worm-eating@ kissena park

[Cesar Castillo]

Seen now at north-east end of velodrome

Subject:[nysbirds-l] American Avocet

Following up on Andrew's discovery of an American Avocet at the East Pond of 
Jamaica Bay WR. Ed Becher and myself made our way there after 1:30pm. We walked 
the west side of the pond from the north end and immediately found a single 
White rumped Sandpiper. Continuing past Dead Man's Cove scanning the east side 
of the pond down by the Raunt, Ed found the Avocet roosting amongst the Black 
Ducks and Mallards. Also seen were the previously reported Black and 
Gull-billed Terns found by Sean and Shane. If one used the path to Big John's 
Pond, one could look across the pond and possibly pick out the Avocet among the 
ducks.

[nysbirds-l] Yellow Throated Warblet -yes

[Cesar Castillo]

I found the bird working its way north on the stream banks.  The bird is 
staying low.  I found it on the stream section near the intersection of Decker 
street and Rockaway parkway.  You can see the street signs from the stream.  
There was a male and female pine warbler that seemed to be traveling with him.

[nysbirds-l] Kissena Park morning report, Queens NY

[Cesar Castillo]

Hi all,

Thought it was worth mentioning that Kissena Park was very birdy this morning.  
Birds were everywhere and the common invasives were low in numbers. I didn't 
even see any house sparrows!

Highlights included 11 Warbler species with 1 Nashville Warbler and 1 Wilson's 
Warbler, Several BT-Blues and the yellow-rumps were out in force. 
Blue-headed and Red-eyed vireos were still around.
Found 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch, WB Nuthatches.  Brown Creeper and two Brown 
Thrashers too.
There were several groups of Purple Finches, many Samp & Savannah Sparrows, a 
few of Chipping Sparrows, 1 Field Sparrow, 1 White-crowned Sparrow, and 1 
Lincoln's Sparrow, also 1 Indigo.  
In total I saw 58 species in two hours 40 minutes, and this did not include 
Kissena Corridor.

[nysbirds-l] Kissena Park, Queens

[Cesar Castillo]

Rich Kelly and I saw a Yellow-billed Cuckoo at the Kissena Park velodrome.  He 
saw it twice, once a few minutes before I saw it in the north section of the 
velodrome.  The last time was about three minutes after I saw it and it flew 
off towards the playground area east of the velodrome parking lot.  
 I could not get pictures.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Kissena Corridor Possible Connecticut Warbler or is it a Mourning?

[Cesar Castillo]

Thanks Jeff!!  Yes, near the asphalt path but not from the asphalt path, on 
the wood-chipped path.

JGluth,  Not sure what happened, I tried typing in just links not photos.  I 
will resend now.  Here is a link to my Flicker page just in case, not many 
photos there so it won't be a hassle to look for them.

[nysbirds-l] Kissena Corridor Possible Connecticut Warbler or is it a Mourning?

[Cesar Castillo]

What I at first thought was a cooperative Mourning warbler, I now believe to be 
a good candidate for a Connecticut Warbler.  Upon consulting my books and 
pictures of today's bird in question I have to second guess my Mourning warbler 
ID.  The pictures are linked below, please advise, I have never seen a 
Connecticut Warbler and hesitate to make the ID.

The bird was flushed out of the tall grasses along the woodchipped path 
stretching between near the children's playground at 56th Rd and 146 street 
towards Peck avenue.  The bird was located just south of the childrens 
playground.  Location map attached.  
The sighting was at 1:20 PM.

Characteristics,
Lack of yellow on throat, pale to greyish hood is complete.
The tail seems shortened
Bicoloured bill
Pot bellied appearance
Nice solid eye-ring
And behaviour, it perched on trees in front and above me when it was flushed 
out.

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park, Kissena and Big Egg Marsh, Queens NY

[Cesar Castillo]

When I first entered Alley this morning it was relatively quiet, but as time 
wore on activity picked up.  I suppose the birds were falling out of the sky as 
the weather got wetter.  
at Alley I saw
3 Lincoln's Sparrows (1 by each of the two parking fields and one by where the 
Kentucky was spotted last Saturday)
2 Canada Warblers
1 Worm-eating Warbler
1 Yellow-throated Vireo
3-4 Blackpoll Warblers
9-12 Chestnut-sided Warblers
and a few Black-throated Blue's. 
As well as large numbers of Magnolia, Redstarts, Yellow-rumped, Yellow, Parula, 
Black-and-White, BT Green, Ovenbirds, N. Waterthrushes, 2 Palm Warblers, 1 
Blue-winged, 
A good number of Scarlet Tanagers, Orioles and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks.  Lots 
of Red-eyed and Blue-headed Vireos. 

At Kissena there were Bobolinks (at least 12) first reported by Gina Goldstein 
in the Velodrome.  I also found 1 Nashville Warbler, 1 Prairie, and 2 bright 
blue Indigo Buntings.

At Big Egg Marsh of note (at least for me) were I think 2 Clapper Rails, still 
trying to ID the photo having never seen either Clapper nor King Rail before I 
just want to make sure of what they are.  See photo below

[nysbirds-l] Forest Park - Summer Tanager, Blackburnian, Hooded Warbler

[Cesar Castillo]

Dear All,

This morning produced two Blackburnians at Forest Park and later in the morning 
(8:50AM) Danny Melore got me and Lisa Schepke on a very beautiful Summer 
Tanager.  In the same area there was also a Hooded Warbler (on the asphalt 
jogging path that parallels Park Lane South just north-east of the rail-road 
tracks).  A Louisiana Waterthrush was still to be found at the Water hole-e 
lake.

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park - May2nd

[Cesar Castillo]

This morning's activity deserves a proper write up.  I began birding the tulip 
tree trail which is an asphalt trail connecting Oakland lake to Alley Pond Park 
forest.  It was nice to hear woodthrush and blue-winged warbler. American 
Redstarts were around also.  I moved on to Alley Pond Park south of the LIE.  
It was a bonanza.  The first half hour yielded 1 Blackburnian, 1 Hooded, and 1 
Worm-eating, as well as the more common warbles, all in good healthy numbers.  
By the time I was done with the park, there were two Hooded warblers (one near 
the entrance by the school and one along the edge of the baseball fields by the 
entrance near the grand central), two blackburnians together foraging near the

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park - May2nd

[Cesar Castillo]

This morning's activity deserves a proper write up.  I began birding the tulip 
tree trail which is an asphalt trail connecting Oakland lake to Alley Pond Park 
forest.  It was nice to hear woodthrush and blue-winged warbler. American 
Redstarts were around also.  I moved on to Alley Pond Park south of the LIE.  
It was a bonanza.  The first half hour yielded 1 Blackburnian, 1 Hooded, and 1 
Worm-eating, as well as the more common warbles, all in good healthy numbers.  
By the time I was done with the park, there were two Hooded warblers (one near 
the entrance by the school and one along the edge of the baseball fields by the 
entrance near the grand central), two blackburnians together foraging near the 
ground the entire time (second found by another birder), 2 Nashvilles, 
Magnolias, Parulas, Prairie's etc... totaling 19. I feel I should report a 
possible Kentucky Warbler, I heard the song of one but it only sang once.  It 
was located in a section of
 the park close to where the grandcentral and Cross Island pkways intersect.

[nysbirds-l] Oakland lake activity Queens NY

[Cesar Castillo]

Hello all,

There was a FOS for me Northern Oriole @ oakland lake, as well as a Spotted 
Sandpiper.  No part of the 0.7 mile trail around the lake lacked warblers, 
mostly yellow-rumped but also some palm two pines and around 6 yellow warblers, 
there was also a black-and-white singing but never located..  At least 2 
Blue-gray gnatcatchers as well as the continuing 3 species of swallows (Tree, 
Barn and Northern Rough-winged) and a small number of Chimney swifts.

[nysbirds-l] Another Redheaded Woodpecker, this time @ Forest Park Queens

[Cesar Castillo]

Went to Forest Park this morning.  The highlight was finding my second 
red-headed woodpecker of the week (refound the Kissena Park one yesterday).  It 
was located on the blue trail which is a pebbly trail near the park entrance 
with the stand of pine trees, just off park lane south.  The bird was calling 
and chipping away just 5-10 yards north of the pine trees along the pebbly path.
Also found a fair amount of migrants, yellow-rumped, pine, & palm warblers 
(yellow-rumps being most numerous).  Blue-gray Gnatcatchers were numerous too.  
The water hole was quiet early but seemed to pick up activity just as I left 
around 8:30 AM.

Here is my bad video of the Forest Park Redheaded Woodpecker

[nysbirds-l] Eastern Bluebird pair @ Alley Pond Park

[Cesar Castillo]

Hi all,

A long walk late in the day at Alley allowed me to see a pair of Eastern 
Bluebirds in the short trail south of Turtle Pond leading to the baseball 
fields.

[nysbirds-l] Eagle over Kissena Park Queens NY this morning

[Cesar Castillo]

As I arrived this morning at the park, from the Velodrome I saw an eagle flying 
on the north side of the park from west to east.  It was a black bird about at 
least as big as a turkey vulture but too far for me to tell what it was, also 
the line of trees obstructed my view and ability to take a quick photo.  It 
lacked any white on the underwing, no v-shaped wing posture.  
Just a heads up for eastern Queens/Long Island.

The red-breasted merganser continues but no common mergansers this morning.  
Brown thrasher, Merlin, Fox Sparrows continue, and there were still 5 woodcocks 
last night, but none were flushed out this morning.

[nysbirds-l] Little Neck Bay and Oakland Lake Queens NY

[Cesar Castillo]

Went exploring around the east side of Little Neck Bay on Shore Road 
(Douglaston) and of note I found one Common Goldeneye and two Red-throated 
Loons. 

At Oakland Lake at around 6 PM there were 12 Ring-necked Ducks, a pair was 
separate from the rest of the flotilla, I suppose the male was keeping the 
female away from the rest of the bachelors.  
2 Redheads continue, only 1 Ruddy Duck.

[nysbirds-l] Red-necked Grebe and Woodcock @ central Park NYC

[Cesar Castillo]

I haven't seen anyone post since this morning.  The Red-necked grebe was still 
there at the Reservoir at 5:30PM.  I stuck around the park (at the Ramble) 
looking for Oriole and maybe Pine Warbler, struck out on both, but decided to 
stay until sunset when some locals alerted me to Woodcock activity in the 
morning.  After the sun set, the woodcocks started calling and flying all over. 
 I counted 6 from the Ramble to the Museum (AMNH), and saw one quickly fly into 
the street (Central Park West) infront of the Museum, then quickly did a U turn 
in the air and back into the park.  It was definitely a good night for Woodcock.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Argyle Lake, Babylon: Red Necked Grebe still present

Its all the melting snow leaving uncovered the dead of the winter.
Thanks for the report, also not tired of RN Grebe sightings.

Hi Everyone,

Following Peter Morris's report (I don't get tired of Red Necked Grebe

saw just one today but as Peter noted it was quite a stunner.  It was my first 
time at this spot and it was really nice there...people were out enjoying the 
nice weather...also saw Mallards, Black Ducks (a lot at this lake), Mute Swans, 
a pair of Shovelers, 2 Coots, and about 8 Ringed Necked Ducks.  

Weird analogy, but lately I feel like Angela Lansbury from Murder She Wrote - 
wherever she went things turn up dead - so again, I found another dead bird... 
a dead crow in the water - all tangled up in fishing line.  Ending on a 
positive note, the Red Necked Grebe seemed comfortable at the lake despite 
everyone around the lake - was sleeping most of the time I was there.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Oakland lake (Queens NY) afternoon report

[Cesar Castillo]

So apparently I did see the Northern Pintail.  I noticed it among the mallards 
but did not know what it was because its not a mature male N. Pintail.  I 
singled it out and took a photo and had it ID'd.  So the Pintail was there 
today. Woo-hoo

I was hoping to go see the previously reported pintail duck and have it on my 
Queens list for this year.  I did not find it but I did see a pair of redhead 
ducks, a pair of ring-necked ducks, a pair of ruddy's and a pair of wood ducks. 
 Although I lost track of them and it could be two pairs (Wood Ducks). There 
was also one N. Flicker.

ducks, a pair of ring-necked ducks, a pair of ruddy's and a pair of wood ducks. 
 Although I lost track of them and it could be two pairs (Wood Ducks). There 
was also one N. Flicker.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Oakland lake (Queens NY) afternoon report

[Cesar Castillo]

So apparently I did see the Northern Pintail.  I noticed it among the mallards 
but did not know what it was because its not a mature male N. Pintail.  I 
singled it out and took a photo and had it ID'd.  So the Pintail was there 
today. Woo-hoo

Hi Cesar,
 
When was the Pintail reported?  Years ago we had one around all winter, and 
when I first moved to the area, a pair.

[nysbirds-l] Red-headed Woodpecker @ Kissena Park Queens

[Cesar Castillo]

While birding Kissena Park this afternoon I ran into Joseph O'Sullivan.  He 
reported a Red-headed woodpecker, male with bright red head.  I went looking 
for the bird immediately and found it.  Took and video.  The bird was seen by 
him and I in the sycamore trees just north of the Lake, south of Oak Ave, very 
near restrooms/park offices.

http://flic.kr/p/jAZAJ3


Also reported by Joseph were some Ravens which I missed, and a Merlin, which I 
did see.   Rusty blackbirds, brown thrasher and catbird continue at the park.  
A number of fox sparrows also are associating with the brown thrasher.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon

[Cesar Castillo]

I attempted to see it on Saturday Morning and no luck. I also spoke to one of 
the homeowners at Gilgo Beach who said he last saw it 2 weeks ago on his 
neighbor's porch.  I guess the osprey platforms are not the only good perching 
areas.

[nysbirds-l] Steller's Eider

[Cesar Castillo]

Has anyone been out to look for this bird?  Its not my place to post other 
people's names so I just reduced it to initials.  

Steller's Eider (Polysticta stelleri) (1)
- Reported Jan 19, 2014 16:00 by V.V.
- Point Lookout, Nassau, New York
- Map: 
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8=p=13=40.587,-73.577=40.587,-73.577
- Checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S1643
- Comments: "I realize this range is completely off but this is the closest in 
markings to what I observed. This bird did not have a black head like a common 
eider, lacked a yellow heavy beak like the king eider. It was larger with a 
different head shape than a bufflehead and merganser. I was very surprised and 
will try to get a photo."

[nysbirds-l] Glaucus and Iceland at Shinnecock yes, Long Island

[Cesar Castillo]

This morning I decided to try my luck at Belmont Lake State Park, looking for 
either Cackling or Barnacle goose.  After searching very hard through the geese 
I could not produce either species.  Best duck though were two Common 
Mergansers.  I did see my first of year Golden-crowned Kinglet.

Then I headed to Shinnecock inlet thanks to Mr. Baksh's positive results from 
yesterday (thanks!).  I saw the Glaucus Gull right away and it put on a show 
for the visiting Pittsburgh bird club members who saw it right away as well.  
After searching the western jetty we saw an Iceland Gull. A thankyou to Mr. 
Chris Walters for helping me with the ID.  They let me tag along for a while 
searching Dune Road for bittern, non there  Then we headed off to Riverhead in 
search for Pink footed goose and Yellow-headed Black Bird, also a no on both 
counts.

I headed off to Hook Pond and was able to find the two Tundra swans and at Lazy 
point the Lesser Black Backed was an easy find.

[nysbirds-l] woodcock and wilson's snipe

[Cesar Castillo]

Hi all,

There was a Wilson's snipe at big egg marsh in Queens this morning along with a 
small number of snow geese and two very nervous sparrows that flew and hid too 
fast for me to ID.
Just 45 mins earlier at Jamaica Bay in the south garden paths I came across an 
American Woodcock that was trying hard not to be seen by me under the thick 
bushes. 
I was hoping for some Pintailed ducks but no luck there.  If anyone can suggest 
a good spot for them I would appreciate it.
I also saw a field sparrow foraging at the feeders at the main entrance to 
Jamaica Bay associating with house finches and 1 yellow-rumped warbler.

Around 12:40PM today, a juvi Golden Eagle was spotted flying over Kissena Park 
soaring rather high.  As far as I could tell it flew south.

The bird was seen by Eric Miller, Bobby Veltri and myself.
