[nysbirds-l] White-faced Ibis - Cow Meadow, Cattle Egret YES

[Tim Healy]

After striking out on the West End stilts, Miriam and I went to Cow Meadow to 
try our luck. In my haste to locate the Cattle Egret, I largely passed over two 
ibis sitting among the night-herons, carefully the checking the face of the 
closest one and glancing at the other preening bird. They took off shortly 
after we arrived and circled the park. We did find the egret, and then when I 
looked at Miriam's photos I discovered that I had been a careless birder. 
Hopefully the bird can be refound. Brent is still on site and looking around.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Black Skimmer: Croton RR Station Westchester

[Larry Trachtenberg]

Even though tide high, so not much of a rocky spit, The black skimmer is 
present 625 pm. on what spit exists  behind croton train station. No sign of 
either Caspian tern or black bellied plover seen this morning. Data I've been 
sent indicates skimmer quite rare for county particularly the river side. 
There's a great egret on far shore as well

[nysbirds-l] Henslow's Sparrow and Dickcissel at Shawangunk Grasslands NWR, Ulster County Continue, May 30th

[Donna Schulman]

Henslow's Sparrow and Dickcissel continue in area by the bird blind (take
Tabor Trace Red Loop from parking lot), Dickcissel doing a loop in front of
the blind, Henslow's on the left as you approach the blind. An Upland
Sandpiper also flew in and out, according to a group of NYC birders.

[nysbirds-l] Black-necked Stilts @ Jones

[Steve Walter]

Just saw 2 Black-necked Stilts flying south of the nature center at Jones Beach 
West End. Could have come from the ponds to the west. Landed due south of the 
SW corner of the lot. Way out. Not sure what's there, but maybe an inaccessible 
pond.

[nysbirds-l] Black-necked Stilts @ Jones

[Steve Walter]

Just saw 2 Black-necked Stilts flying south of the nature center at Jones Beach 
West End. Could have come from the ponds to the west. Landed due south of the 
SW corner of the lot. Way out. Not sure what's there, but maybe an inaccessible 
pond.

[nysbirds-l] Brown Pelican continues in Buffalo

[Willie D'Anna]

The Brown Pelican was still at its usual haunts on the Niagara River in
Buffalo this morning. It was observed on the green buoy number 5 today. It
has also been seen on the more distant green buoy number 7, where a scope is
helpful. If you have a little time, the bird makes rather frequent foraging
flights that bring it much closer to the Ontario Street boat launch/Aqua
Lane viewing site. It often feeds with or near the cormorants.

 

DIRECTIONS:

Heading southbound on I-190, exit at Ontario Street. Turn left at the end of
the ramp, then make the first left onto Black Rock Harbor Road to access the
waterfront, just before the on-ramp to get on the I-190 northbound. Black
Rock Harbor Road takes you back under the I-190. Proceed to the right down
Aqua Lane, park, and look for the bird.

 


Heading northbound on I-190, exit at Austin Street. Turn right at the end of
the ramp, then immediately turn left onto Niagara Street. Drive about ½ mile
and turn left onto Black Rock Harbor Road to access the waterfront, just
before the on-ramp to get on the I-190 northbound. Black Rock Harbor Road
takes you back under the I-190. Proceed to the right down Aqua Lane, park,
and look for the bird.

 

Thanks to Canadian birder, Jeremy Bensette, looking from the Canadian side
of the river, for the update.

 

Good birding!

Willie
