[nysbirds-l] Swan River Preserve - East Patchogue

Today at work I received a call from someone who, while raving about what a great facility the Town's Swan Pond Preserve has become, complained of the stagnant water, algal blooms and "lack of waterfowl to feed". I explained to him how the pond system works, that it's been a very dry summer, and

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay by kayak, August 14 (& 8), incl. Black-headed Gull & American golden Plover

Since most of the birding reports from Jamaica come from the ponds, I was curious to see what was elsewhere in the bay. I've kayaked most of the bay last Sunday (August 7), checking all the islands on each side of Cross Bay Boulevard mainly to look for attractive areas for shorebirds. Richard

[nysbirds-l] Hudsonian Godwit at Wolfes Pond Park

Really sorry for the late post but I left my phone at home. Bird landed on the beach in with a flock of BB Plovers and Ruddy Turnstones. Almost entirely in winter plumaged. First alerted to its presence because it was calling which I have never heard before. It stayed there for about 10 seconds
