[nysbirds-l] American Redstart at Jamaica Bay

2013-08-04 Thread Ardith Bondi
This seems early, so I thought I'd mention it. I saw an American Redstart this morning at John's Pond. Also there were a Northern Waterthrush and a big flock of Glossy Ibis. A ranger pointed out that the Ibis have been favoring that location since "Sandy". Ardith Bondi -- NYSbirds-L List

Mark French and I conducted a hit-n-run seawatch from the Field 2 beach from 523-849AM. Viewing conditions were quite favorable. Two NORTHERN GANNETS were in view on occasion. The highlight however was a small group of 4 MANX SHEARWATER. They were flying in a rather direct manner - west to east -

Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge 4 August Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) birded the north end on a falling tide. There were several hundred shorebirds, all of which flew off with the arrival of a Peregrine Falcon making a few runs through the group. When we left only a few dozen birds remained.

My wife Eileen and I birded Cedar Beach, Southold today around noon. We did not see the Whimbrels reported earlier by Lee Stocker, but we did see four Glossy Ibisses in the marsh to the west. We have never before seen that species at Cedar Beach. We also saw one Willet take off over the marsh;
