  Erie, numerous vantage points between the Old Fort and the
  International Railroad Bridge.

  PARASITIC JAEGER, October 4, ahead of the river on Lake Erie
  at Woodlawn Beach in Hamburg.

  Above Niagara Falls, at Goat Island this week, 2 adult L.

  WARBLER with 4 BL.-THR. GREEN WARBS. on Francis Road in the
  Genesee County Town of Bethany. October 7, 10 warbler
  species at Tifft Nature Preserve in Buffalo.

  Other reports this week - from the Iroquois Refuge, 8

[nysbirds-l] Wheatear No

2014-10-09 Thread Elliotte Rusty Harold

FYI, a search at Plumb Beach in the usual locations from about 9:00 to
10:00 this morning, 10/9, failed to turn up the Wheatear; though a flyover
American Bittern was a nice consolation.

[nysbirds-l] Hempstead Lake SP and Kissena Park, Queens

2014-10-09 Thread syschiff

Hempstead Lake SP. 

Joe Giunta, Debbie Martin and I (Sy Schiff) joined the South Shore Audubon 
this morning in Hempstead. The walk produced several dozen species including 
lingering Wood Duck, Pied-bill Grebe, 8 species of warbler, 4 species of 
woodpecker, a Blue-headed Vireo, a few sparrows plus other usual common birds. 
Not necessarily a migration, but a pleasant increase from recent days.

Kissena Park. 

After our tour of Hempstead, we went to Queens and birded the Kissena 
Community Garden. The garden was lush with late vegetables and bursting with 
planted flowers. There were lots of working gardeners who didn't seem to bother 
us or the few sparrows and half dozen Palm Warblers.. We went next door to he 
corridor where we found a pair of circling Red-tail Hawks, Red-eyed Vireo, 
another Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, 3 species of warbler and 5 species of 
sparrows. The birding here was a bit disappointing after the early morning at 
Hempstead, but the overall day was a lovely Fall experience,

RE: [nysbirds-l] BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK - Heckscher SP, East Islip, Suffolk Co.

2014-10-09 Thread Shaibal Mitra

Sean Sime and I searched without success late this morning, and Sean is still 
on site.

I heard third hand through Pat of a possible re-sighting earlier this morning, 
in the same area as Phil's last night and of Pat's yesterday morning, but I 
don't have any details about how well this last bird was seen.

For those considering trying for this bird, I would caution that there is a 
prodigious amount of fruiting tupelo in the area, attracting hordes of Robins, 
Waxwings, Starlings, and other birds. Although this enhances the likelihood 
that the Black-headed Grosbeak might have remained in the area, it also means 
that it would be natural to expect Rose-breasts to be present also.

Sean had a Red-headed Woodpecker and a Bay-breasted Warbler before I joined 
him, while I had two Red-headed Woodpeckers at Robert Moses SP, on the beach, 
earlier in the morning (in addition to large flocks, some >100, of Pine 
Siskins, many Purple Finches, more than a dozen Rusty Blackbirds, etc.).

Co.

Seen around 8:35 AM from along the bike/exercise trail in the
southwest corner of the parking lot at Field 1. The call, lower and less
squeaky than Rose-breasted, reminiscent of a short Downy Woodpecker
note, got
my attention and I made a concerted effort to locate it. I had decent
views of
the bird for several minutes high in a tree, showing fine streaking on
the
sides of the buffy upper breast, and noted the dark upper mandible
though I did
not remember the significance of this field mark at the time. The bird
flew
across the bike trail towards the north and I lost sight of it behind
the
treetops; I did not see the underwings. Very late for work, I had to
abandon
the area. Shai Mitra is searching now.

I apologize for not posting sooner--a busy morning at work delayed me.

[nysbirds-l] Dicksissel/ Orange County/ Oil City Rd/Winding Waters Trail

2014-10-09 Thread Curt McDermott

 Rob Stone called to advise that he has located a Dicksissel at the Winding 
Waters Trail on Oil City Rd.  Enter the trail and Proceed East along the 
Wallkill River.  At the fork, bear right.  Continue and the trail will turn 90 
degrees to the right.  After the turn, continue across the straightaway to the 
T Intersection and turn left.  Continue along that straightaway and look for a 
marker constructed with sticks in a tree.  The bird is being seen on both sides 
of the trail as I type.
For those unfamiliar with Winding Waters Trail:  Enter Oil City Rd (Wallkill 
NWR, Pine Island, NY) and pass the viewing platform on your left.  Continue to 
where the road crosses the Wallkill River.  Parking area for Winding Waters 
Trail is on your right.  The trailhead is at the end of the parking lot.  
Good Birding, Curt McDermot

[nysbirds-l] Reminder on the upcoming overnight pelagic trip Oct 24-25

2014-10-09 Thread Andrew Baksh

Forwarding a message from Doug Gochfeld.

There are only a couple of spaces left on the sure-to-be-exciting overnight 
pelagic trip to the Hudson Canyon on October 24-25.
Reserve one of the last seats directly through the Capt. Lou Fleet office, by 
calling (516) 623-5823. After the blisteringly successful August overnight 
trip, we're getting very exciting about this next, now-impending, voyage.
The boat leaves Freeport (Nassau County) at 10:30 PM on Friday, October 24, and 
gets back to the dock in the early evening on October 25, after having birded 
continental shelf break waters for several hours and then on-shelf waters for 
the balance. It is $235, which includes tips for mates.

Some more details here:
Likely species for offshore pelagic trips in this region at this time of year 
include Great, Manx and Cory's Shearwaters as well as Parasitic and Pomarine 
Jaegers, Northern Fulmar, Red Phalarope, and plenty of migratory waterfowl 
(and, depending on the winds, even some more terrestrial migrants, including 
many species of passerines).
This is also an excellent time of year to find a good diversity of gulls 
offshore, as Black-legged Kittiwakes should be in, and Bonaparte’s Gulls should 
be moving, with the potential for other small gulls (Read: LITTLE GULL, and 
exceptionally: ROSS’S GULL). SABINE’S GULL should also still be a distinct 
possibility, as are both SOUTH POLAR SKUA and GREAT SKUA.
The deep water off the East Coast is very under-birded at this exciting season, 
and the possibilities for out-of-left-field species is very much there. The 
only Atlantic Ocean record of BULLER’S SHEARWATER was from late October off the 
mid-Atlantic, as was one of the two accepted North American records of CAPE 
VERDE SHEARWATER.
There will be food on board (both human food for purchase, and plenty of chum 
for the birds), and there will be several experienced pelagic leaders to help 
people see and identify whatever we come across, be it birds, cetaceans, or 
other marine life.
See you on board for what will hopefully be another exceedingly successful 
overnight NY Pelagic!!

[nysbirds-l] Wheatear No

2014-10-09 Thread Elliotte Rusty Harold

FYI, a search at Plumb Beach in the usual locations from about 9:00 to
10:00 this morning, 10/9, failed to turn up the Wheatear; though a flyover
American Bittern was a nice consolation.
