[nysbirds-l] Ash-throated Flycatcher Lido West Town Park, Nassau Co.

2016-11-13 Thread Patricia Lindsay
Bobby Berlingeri just found this ATFL minutes ago (12:45 or so). He had a 45 
second look before it disappeared and he is trying to relocate it now. He 
describes the park as being just west of Nickerson Beach and east of the pink 
Lido Hotel along Lido Blvd.

Good luck! We're hoping to find one here on Block Island.

[nysbirds-l] Black Dirt Rough-legged Hawks

2016-11-13 Thread Michael Britt
I ran my winter Roughleg route today, barring the Shawangunk Grasslands. I
stuck to the Black Dirt region in Orange County and observed four
Rough-legged Hawks (two light, one moderately-marked light, one dark),
which is good for the date. Looking at the eBird bar charts and considering
this report, we've had a decent early push. The winter could be
interesting, provided we get some classic winter weather. Fingers crossed...

[nysbirds-l] Ash-throated Flycatcher, Glaucous Gull, late migrants, and a whale of a feeding frenzy

2016-11-13 Thread Tim Healy
I got a "late" start today, arriving at Jones Beach at around 9:20. Highlights 
included continuing flocks of gannets on the move, a Fox Sparrow, and some 
raptor activity. Hempstead Lake hosted a cooperative late Blue-headed Vireo, 
which I closely examined to rule out the possibility of similar late species. 
Bobby's report of Ash-throated Flycatcher lured me back into the field, and we 
found the bird without much difficulty at Lido West Town Park. We also found a 
Pine Warbler and some mentioned a nearby Black-throated Green. A chatter call 
drew the attention of the assembled birders to a drab young oriole, which 
appeared to simply be a Baltimore but photos will be reviewed just in case. 
Brendan and I headed down the beach to scan some large gull flocks which were 
visible to the east. Parking at Camp Anchor put us in a perfect spot to view 
the loafing and feeding birds. Brendan quickly pulled out a first-year Glaucous 
coming our way to land on the sand, and I spotted a Humpback Whale near the 
horizon which we saw spouting several times as it traveled west. A nice day out 
in nature!

Cheers!
