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

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

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

[nysbirds-l] Hunters Garden - Eastport, Suffolk County- Cerulean Warbler
At Hunters Garden, during an Eastern LI Audubon Society field trip, a male Cerulean Warbler was heard and observed for at least 10 minutes, around 9:30 this morning, along the access road to the water tower. The bird was seen high in a flowering oak tree, near the "high"point of the access road. It was first heard with an ascending buzzy call, ending in a longer buzz. The blue-back, w/two wing bars, white throated, white chest with dark neckline, white belly and dark flank-striped bird, was seen by almost all 15 observers. Hunters Garden is a DEC area, off County Road 51, just north of Sunrise Highway, and the locked gate is still in place. The main clearing is approximately 3/4 miles from the entrance. The water tower road is the second "Y" (take right) from entrance. Other birds seen included Scarlet Tanagers, Bay-breasted Warbler, and a Yellow-billed Cuckoo was heard - all on the water tower access road. A Solitary Sandpiper made a brief stop by a large muddy puddle in the main clearing.

[nysbirds-l] HB Squire Pond - Am Avocet
A word of caution - both East Landing and West Landing Roads in Hampton Bays are Beach Permit parking areas from 9am-9pm. Although usually not heavily visited, one does run the risk of getting a parking ticket on either road.

[nysbirds-l] Dune Rd, Hampton Bays - No Brown Pelicans
A two hour trip along Dune Rd, from 7AM-9AM, between Post Ave. Bridge, Quogue and the Shinnecock Inlet, did not find the previously reported Brown Pelicans nor the previously reported Marbled Godwit. There was, however, an increase in the number of shorebirds along the extensive mud and mussel flats. Birds included Greater Yellowlegs, SB Dowitchers, Ruddy Turnstones, Least Sandpipers, Semi-palmated Sandpipers, Semi-plamated Plover, and many Black-bellied Plovers. There were three adult Clapper Rail, clearly visible in two different spots, and three young Clapper Rail, three Black-crowned Night Heron and one Yellow-crowned Night Heron, along with the usually expected terns and shorebirds. Before the tide began rising, dozens of Snowy Egret and Great Egrets filled the side of road ditches - an amazing sight!
