[nysbirds-l] Correction: Tripletts Bridge, not Balcony Bridge

I checked out the North End of C.P. in the early evening and ran into Pat Pollock who thankfully corrected my mis-designation of the first area I mentioned in my post yesterday. That area was the stream west of Tripletts Bridge, not Balcony Bridge where I found the Waterthrushes. We birded a bit

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach 8/2 - many shorebirds, gulls, a shearwater

Hi everyone, The West End had strong numbers of the typical migrant shorebird species this afternoon. The Coast Guard spit had about 250 American Oystercatchers, 20 Eastern Willets, 50 Red Knot, nearly 100 Ruddy Turnstone, and probably some 300 Short-billed Dowitchers. The beach up to a half

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay

Jamaica Bay WR 2 Aug Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) were also at the North End of the East Pond this morning. It was High Tide when we arrived. We saw a total of 14 species of shorebirds including the Ruff and Avocet among the estimated 3,000 to 4,000 shorebirds. The early morning sun was a

Re:[nysbirds-l] Ruff at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge (Queens Co.)

With the usual caveats about reliably identifying a bird based solely a few photos stated up front. Andrew's images of today's Ruff show a bird with much more brightly colored legs than the individual he photographed back on the 15th. Soft part coloration typically decreases in intensity

Fwd: [nysbirds-l] Ruff at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge (Queens Co.)

Looks like Ken's photographed bird has a pronounced white ring around the base of its bill. Andrew's and my photos (Andrew's are much better) are not showing such a pronounced ring. Perhaps my eyes are decieving me, lighting is always a factor out on the East Pond, but are these two different

[nysbirds-l] Ruff at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge (Queens Co.)

Sue and I birded the East Pond at JBWR this morning, starting at the south end and working our way along the east side of the pond. We found the birding to be better at the north end of the pond, where we quickly saw the American Avocet. An immature Peregrine Falcon kept us company for much of

[nysbirds-l] 4th Ruff at - East Pond Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Queens County...

The Ruff/Reeve reported this morning by Derek Rogers from the East Pond at Jamaica Bay, is very likely the 4th Ruff this year for the East Pond. I have reviewed photos, videos and notes taken today and from July 15th when the other female type Reeve was found and in my mind, there is no doubt

[nysbirds-l] Ravens in Babylon

On 7/20 at 8:45am, two common ravens were seen and heard on Dundee Avenue in the Argyle Park section of Babylon. The birds vocalized frequently and stayed around for about 15 minutes, mobbed by jays. They then flew north over the south shore railroad line and out of sight. I was out of town

[nysbirds-l] JBWR Reeve - East Pond

There was a Reeve, presumably the previously reported bird, located at the north end of East Pond as I made my exit. The Avocet also continues just outside of Dead Man's Cove. Earlier, A single Red Knot was hanging with the dows on the exposed mud just north of Dead Mans. Several suspects but
