[nysbirds-l] Harris’s Sp at Hot Dog Beach - Yes

2023-10-30 Thread Eileen Schwinn
Currently being seen at the western end of the ocean parking lot, along hedges 
- the previously reported Harris’s Sparrow.  Was refound by Eric Miller, by the 
cesspool mound on east side of parking.  Bird flew west, and again relocated, 
west edge of parking lot. Field Sparrows in the Harris’s company.
Of note, Dune Rd via Post Bridge(Quogue) still completely flooded at noon.  
Better access via Ponquogue.  Some water on road but not too difficult to go 
through.

[nysbirds-l] Red Crossbill - Quogue Wildlife Refuge

2023-05-07 Thread Eileen Schwinn
A male Red Crossbill was seen this AM at the end of the dam trail along the 
south end of the Quogue Wildlife Preserve.  The bird did not vocalize, but was 
feeding rather low in a pine tree along side of the trail.  It was observed for 
at least 5 minutes, and was last seen flying north, along the trail bordering 
Gabreski Air Base. Photos were take by other birders.

The previously reported Olive-sided Flycatcher is currently being seen and

Approx .2 miles from DEC #6(Telephone logged parking). Cross two fallen trees

Check tops of dead trees north of trail, and marked with a pile of twigs and

[nysbirds-l] Cattle Egret - Eastport, Suffolk County

2021-11-21 Thread Eileen Schwinn

Reported earlier this AM in the sod field, near the intersection of CR 51 and 
Head of the Neck Rd, by Steve Biasetti, a Cattle Egret was refound at noon.  New
location of the bird is the horse farm, across from the sod field.  It was 
walking among the horse paddocks and the horses, and best viewed from the 
shoulder of Route 51, north side, just east of the turning lane on to Eastport 
Manor Rd.

[nysbirds-l] Wood Stork-Westhampton

The Wood Stork is currently atop a tree, on the west side of Baycrest Ave., 
Westhampton(parallel to the golf course) This is a street  off South Rd, just 
east of the original postings along Beaverdam Creek.
If you park on water side of road - when you see a wooden bridge leading to a 
private home- look north(back) into the cove.  The tree the bird  is in, is to 
the left of the house near the cove, when looking north.

[nysbirds-l] Two Tri-colored Herons - Dune Rd, East Quogue

2020-05-12 Thread Eileen Schwinn
A short while after re-locating the Tri-colored Heron reported earlier, in the 
shallow ditch slightly east of original location, the bird flew north, into the 
marsh.  Continuing along Dune Rd, heading west, I stopped just west of Dolphin 
Lane, and saw a second Tri-colored Heron.  In comparing photos, one has a 
distinctive red eye and breeding white plum on back of head, while the first 
one had yellow eyes, no breeding plum and was a softer, more washed out 
brown/gray back of neck, back and wings.  
The second bird also flew north, into the Marsh.  Patience may be required to 
relocated either or both birds.
Photos of both are being added to my eBird submission.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Brown Pelican and Golden-crowned Sparrow still around?

2019-11-18 Thread Eileen Schwinn
As far as the Montauk Pelican info, I received a excellent photo and report 
late Sunday evening, of an immature Brown Pelican - with a metal right leg 
band(not readable, but clearly visible), seen Sunday afternoon on the Town of 
Southampton Commercial Fishing Dock.  I believe this matches the description of 
the Montauk bird.   

An extensive search this morning - 8am-11am- of that area - from west 
Shinnecock Inlet to Post La Bridge, Quogue - was not successful in relocating 
the bird. Various docks and coves on the “mainland” side of the bay were also 
checked.

A word of caution- there is possibly another breach of the dunes again near the 
commercial dock.  Equipment was attempting to pile more sand on the oceans 
side, however two hours prior to high tide, the waves were already cresting 
over the
dune, and spilling on to Dune Rd.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Does the Hermit Thrush still breed on Long Island???

2019-06-28 Thread Eileen Schwinn
Having just returned from Hunters Garden in Eastport, both Mike Higgiston and I 
heard our FOY Hermit Thrush.  (We were there between 8-10am). I believe Steve 
Biasetti and Tom Moran heard at least one Hermit Thrush there yesterday.

We also heard and saw Steve and Tom’s Arcadian Flycatcher, and had excellent 
views of a Black-billed Cuckoo. Other normal residents were there, including 
Ovenbirds, Scarlet Tanager and Pewee.   All birds were seen and heard between 
the water tower turn off and the open area, along the dirt road.  

The road in is extremely driveable, at least to the water tower turn off, with 
minor potholes and packed sand/dirt. Ticks, however, are still present, even on 
the sparse grasses of the dirt road.

Rounding out the morning, we saw a Yellow-crowned Night Heron in the marsh off 
the tiny boat basin, West End Ave., East Quogue.

[nysbirds-l] Common Nighthawks - Baiting Hollow, Suffolk

2017-09-05 Thread Eileen Schwinn
A dozen Common Nighthawks were seen this evening, between 6:00pm and 6:30pm, at 
the Boy Scout Camp, main entrance, along Sound Ave, Baiting Hollow.  (There is 
a clearing to the right of the entrance). The birds were flying west to east, 
being pushed by the wind.
