[nysbirds-l] Montauk Shearwaters
Following up on Nick Bonomo's message regarding shearwaters in Montauk I was able to see about 40 shearwaters. I would say that most were Greater but at least one was a Cory's. Even with a good scope they were a little far out. Best viewing was from the concession stand area and not from Camp Hero.

[nysbirds-l] Shearwaters at Camp Hero, Suffolk County
This morning between 9:30 and 11 am I would estimate 300 Shearwaters were flying back and forth, feeding and landing on the ocean. They were mostly in two flocks with the western flock consisting of Cory's while the eastern flock was mostly Sooty. With the Sooty flock I picked out at least one Greater. Also present were many terns including 4 Black Terns.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay- July 29, 2015
I went to Jamaica Bay today scouting out the area for the upcoming NYC Audubon shorebird class and walk this weekend. I found the conditions on the east pond to be unsafe. I was only able to walk in about 20 feet on the south side of the east pond went I started in sink into water and mud. Breaking the suction caused by the mud was not easy. I had to retreat. The north end of the east pond was even worse. I was not able to pass the phragmites before I started to sink into mud and water. I did not see any shorebirds at all on the east pond. I tried the west pond and recorded a total of three shorebird species ( semipalmated sandpiper-10, semipalmated plover-3, oystercatcher- 6). I told the rangers at the desk that the east pond should be put off limits because of safety concerns. When you think it couldn't get any worse it did. I do not recommend anyone going to Jamaica Bay.

[nysbirds-l] Marine Park Nature Center Bklyn
Date: May 11, 2014 Taking a break from our regular birding spots my wife and I went to the Marine Park Salt Marsh Nature Center off of Ave. U in Brooklyn. The birding was good as we saw some 30 species. The highlights were: Clapper Rail, Solitary Sandpiper ,Killdeer, Oystercatcher, Greater Yellowlegs, Eastern Kingbird, and Warbling Vireo. For warblers we only saw two, the Yellow and Common Yellowthroat. The park is greatly improved since the last time I was there a few years ago. There were benches along a well defined trail and overlooks at some spots. A bridge over the mudflats made for good walking and good viewing. I also believe that a lot of invasive non-native plants were removed and replaced by native species.It seems that some new plantings were recently put in. I wish that some other parks in the NYC area would be like this.

Later I went to Jones Beach where I saw Tree Swallows in field West End 2, Killdeer in the median between fields 1 and 2 and finally American Oystercatchers, seen from field 10.

Dec. 2, 2013 After some searching I found the N. Shrike at 3:30 in the Fisherman's Parking lot just past the Coast Guard station. After talking to people in the west end of Jones Beach I believe that there are at least 6 Snowy Owls in the Jones Beach/Point Lookout area. Some owls were found east of west end 1 while others were west of west end 2. The easiest view of an owl was the one perched on top of the last and tallest building in Point Lookout. It was on top of the dome cover for the telescope. From there the Snowy had a complete view of the entire area.

[nysbirds-l] Ross's Gull - Quebec
Nov. 19, 2013 Considering the tremendous rarity of the Ross’s Gull in Eastern North America I decided to make the 400 mile one way trip to see this bird. This bird was reported in partial breeding plumage, that is pink, and its location, just north of the NY state border at Chambly Quebec, was listed at sewage lagoons opposite #2417 Boul. Industriel (my Tom-Tom found it right away). The information about exact location and unique color made for a high probability of success. After leaving Nassau County at 4am I arrived at noon, waited 2.5 hours and the bird appeared. The Ross’s Gull in this plumage was just a fantastic sight. The thought that a bird that is hardly ever seen except seasonally in northern Alaska or Siberia was here in front of me was totally awesome. At the sewage lagoons there are three ponds but only one is close and easily visible. There were many birders there helping to locate the bird among the numerous Bonaparte’s Gulls and Ring-billed Gulls. It was a trip well worth it! To see if the bird is still present go to Birdingonthe.net, Quebec. Don’t know French, no problem, just copy and paste the messages into the many free online translation services.

[nysbirds-l] Montezuma NWR
Date: Nov. 5, 2013 My wife Betsy and I birded Montezuma NWR today. Before we got to the refuge we visited Dave Kennedy, at 43 Mynderse St, Seneca Falls and after 10 minutes we saw the Rufous Hummingbird that had been visiting his feeders. Thank you Dave for being so accommodating. The highlights at Montezuma were many but I especially like to note a few special experiences. We saw the two Ibises (Glossy and White-faced) at very close range. They were just passed the visitor's center and seen about 15 feet away from us. It made for great ID work. We saw 20 Sandhill Cranes in the marsh at Knox-Marsellus best viewed from the Towpath Road. Another highlight was having both Tundra and Trumpeter Swans next to each other in harvested corn fields just south of Railroad Road off of Van Dyne Spoor Road. The birds were about 30 feet from us.

We saw: Black, Gadwall, Mallard, Pintail (5), Wigeon, Wood, N. Shoveler, Green-winged Teal, Scaup, Bufflehead, Ruddy. We also saw American Coot. The number of Yel-rumps was impressive but it was the only warbler recorded. We had excellent looks at Blue-headed Vireo. Sparrow numbers were OK but only 4 species (Song, Swamp, White-throat, Chipping) seen. Someone showed us a photo of a Vesper sparrow taken 15 minutes earlier but we couldn't locate the bird. Also nice was a flock of 20 Snowy Egrets fishing together with Cormorants.

Date: Oct. 12, 2013 The BBG (Brooklyn Botanic Garden) birding class recorded 38 species during our trip at Jones Beach. The day started off very slowly with few birds on the sandbar at the Coast Guard station. The tides were wrong so we revisited this area later with better tides. I'm very glad we did because with high tide approaching we saw: Royal Tern (3), Oystercatchers (100), Red Knot (4), Dunlin (x), Sanderling (x), Short-billed Dowitchers (2), Black Skimmer (3), Black-bellied Plover (15). For landbirds the highlight was a Clay-colored Sparrow mixed in with Chipping Sparrows at the picnic area of Zacks Bay. The only hawks seen today were three Northern Harriers.
