[nysbirds-l] Many more morphs: or, how many Rough-legged Hawks were on L. I. today ?

2015-02-26 Thread robert adamo

After an early afternoon appointment at the VA Hospital in Northport, I
decided to stop at the Calverton Grasslands on the way home. While there, I
had 2 dark morph Rough-legs, plus a very probable 3rd bird, and 1 of the
resident Red-tail Hawks. "Lonesome George", the moniker given to the single
Turkey Vulture that has patrolled the Wading River, Calverton and Riverhead
fields and roads for a number of years, was seen today over Middle Rd.,
Calverton. Closer to home, near the intersection of Roanoke Ave & Reeves
Ave, Riverhead, were N.Harrier, Red-tail Hawk and a light-morph
Rough-legged Hawk. Combining the posts of Sean, Ardith and my own (10 sure,
1 probable and  2-4 possible) caused me to wonder what a realistic number
for L.I. might be ? I'm going to make it ~ 28, taking into effect, that
although we were in prime habitat, there were only 4 individuals involved.
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this subject.

Again referencing Sean's post, I too was surprised by finding certain ducks
resting with a goose flock on a snow covered field, on Lenny Bruno's Farm,
at the intersection of Wading River Rd. & the LIE (Exit 69). Taking this
exit to get to the Calverton Grasslands, I pulled over to check out the
Canada flock, finding 6 Pintails, ~ 20 Mallards and ~ 5 Black Ducks, among
the geese. While Mallards & Black Ducks are fairly common in the fields out
east, I can't remember ever finding Pintails with them.

Cheers,
Bob

[nysbirds-l] Kings County Rough-legged Hawks

2015-02-26 Thread Sean Sime

A brief tour of Floyd Bennett Field and Canarsie Pier mid day yielded a
total of 6 Rough-legged Hawks. (3 at Floyd, 1 on Canarsie Pol and 2 over
the landfill off Erskine).
These 6 consisted of 4 light morph and 2 dark morph. I wasn't able to check
White Island in Gerritson Creek, but for the numbers people out there, it
is conceivable there may be as many as 8-10 RLHA in Brooklyn.
There is substantial amounts of exposed grass along the Belt Pkwy and the
geese are taking full advantage. What I wasn't prepared for were the 23
Mallards feeding with them in various spots between Canarsie Pier and
Farmer's Blvd. to the east.
3 Snow Geese continue at Floyd.

Cheers,

Sean Sime
Brooklyn, NY

[nysbirds-l] interesting Beach Birds Feb. 26, 2015

2015-02-26 Thread Ardith Bondi

Peter Post and I (Ardith Bondi) drove Jones Beach Ocean Parkway looking 
for ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS. We found one dark morph between Gilgo Beach and 
Oak Beach, as has been reported a few times, which caught something and 
went out on the bay ice to eat it. No good photos, but some good looks. 
Passed a NORTHERN HARRIER carrying a mouse, and saw another mouse run in 
front of some Gilgo homes, so there is definitely hawk food around. 
While at Gilgo, an adult BALD EAGLE flew over us, flying west. Later, as 
we were checking the lawns by the Nickerson Beach parking lot, we came 
upon a flock of about a dozen REDPOLLS feeding in the pine(?) trees 
along the road (Donna Lane) leading west to the next parking area.

[nysbirds-l] Kings County Rough-legged Hawks

2015-02-26 Thread Sean Sime

A brief tour of Floyd Bennett Field and Canarsie Pier mid day yielded a
total of 6 Rough-legged Hawks. (3 at Floyd, 1 on Canarsie Pol and 2 over
the landfill off Erskine).
These 6 consisted of 4 light morph and 2 dark morph. I wasn't able to check
White Island in Gerritson Creek, but for the numbers people out there, it
is conceivable there may be as many as 8-10 RLHA in Brooklyn.
There is substantial amounts of exposed grass along the Belt Pkwy and the
geese are taking full advantage. What I wasn't prepared for were the 23
Mallards feeding with them in various spots between Canarsie Pier and
Farmer's Blvd. to the east.
3 Snow Geese continue at Floyd.

Cheers,

Sean Sime
