[nysbirds-l] Say's Phoebe, Caumsett State Park, Suffolk County
The Say’s Phoebe was still being seen by a group of birders at 1:30 PM when I left the Park. It continued to favor the same location. If you are planning on going tomorrow there is a 5K race beginning at 9:30 AM. The area that the Phoebe is favoring is used for overflow parking and is likely to busy. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] Correction to ebird rare bird report for Wilson's Phalarope
In my haste to submit my ebird report for Dune Road, Suffolk County, NY on 1/22/16 I mistakenly checked off Wilson's Phalarope instead of Wilson's Snipe. I belatedly realized this mistake and apologize for any hopes that this bird was observed.

[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow at Hecksher State Park, East Islip (Suffolk County)
Today while bicycling along the Hecksher State Park bike path I observed a Lark Sparrow feeding on the path and on the roadside which runs along the bike path. I first saw the bird at 12:30 and again during my last lap at 4:18 PM. The bird would fly into a nearby tree when a car or person passed by but would then return to the grassy edge or road side and feed. It was located on the northern loop of the bike trail near the intersection of the pedestrian and bike crossing which leads into Great River. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] Adirondack Birding (Paul Smiths area)
This past Sunday the 16th I headed up to Paul Smiths for my annual X-country ski trip. On Monday while skiing the east snowmobile trail at Bloomingdale Bog I came upon a flock of 10 Black-capped Chickadees and two Boreal Chickadees about 1.5 miles down the trail. The Boreal Chickadees were calling and perched on the nearby evergreen trees for a good view. The next morning I decided to ski the west side trail at Bloomingdale Bog and observed five Gray Jays at the stump/feeder where people deposit seed. Continuing west I met three local birders who had good view of a Black-backed Woodpecker on the south side of the trail earlier that morning. Skiing on another mile or so a Boreal Chickadee was mixed in with a group of twelve or so Black-capped Chickadees. Finishing my ski at Bloomingdale I decided to try Bigelow Road off of Oregon Plains Road thinking I might come upon a Black-backed Woodpecker. Unsuccessful, I returned to the west trail of Bloomingdale and did a quick ski in as it was late afternoon. After about 1.5 miles in I heard drumming on the south side of the trail. Within a few seconds a Black-backed Woodpecker flew over my head to the north side and looked to be heading east. Heading back home on Thursday morning at 8:00 AM I noticed two birds gritting in the middle of White Pine Road which turned out to be a pair of Red Crossbills. These are probably the same birds that are being seen at the Paul Smith's VIC. According to the VIC staff the pair can be seen and heard in the morning around 8:30 AM near the new sugar house by the employee parking area. Other birds seen while driving in the area included Pileated Woodpecker and Cedar Waxwings (13).

[nysbirds-l] West End 2 tree removal info
I am passing this message on from Annie McIntyre the LI Regional Environmental Manager for New York State Parks. Sue Feustel This is not a birding post, but I hope this will address questions and concerns regarding the vegetation removal on the island in the west end 2 parking lot. Very little of what was removed was native. After the filming is completed the area will be restored, using native vegetation, by the movie company. (NYS Parks will be supplying them a plant list) Please feel free to contact me directly off-list if you have any questions.
