[nysbirds-l] Fulton County Snowy Owl

2014-01-29 Thread richard guthrie
To follow up on Will's note, yes we had a great time looking for and
finding the owl at the Fulton county, NY airport - and the nice chat with
the folks at Grandma Millie's Bakery & Cafe.

After getting home, I contacted Bob Cudmore ( some may remember Bob for his
talk radio show on WGY some years ago) to let him know. Bob does a morning
show on WVTL  radio out of Amsterdam (1570 AM & 104.7 FM), or live on line (
www.wvtlfm.com). So, I'll be talking to Bob and his audience about Snowy
Owls and Grandma Millie's Bakery & Cafe tomorrow morning (Thursday) at 8:35
AM. If you're in range, or can listen live on line, tune in. And, better
yet - if you get a chance, stop by that little cafe at Fulton County
Airport. You won't regret it while you may get to watch  the owl while
enjoying good company and a fresh canole.

[nysbirds-l] Sat's Freeport Trip is a Go, Weather looks excellent

2014-01-29 Thread Paul Guris
We now have enough people to make this Saturday's See Life Paulagics
12 hour offshore pelagic out of Freeport, NY a "go".  Not only that,
but the current offshore forecast for the area we'll be visiting is
for light winds most of the day and seas running 2-2.5 feet.  If that
holds, you can't ask for better conditions at any time of the year and
if winds stay down, conditions should be great for alcid spotting!
There's a good temperature break now set up offshore, the type that we
associate with Dovekies, and a nearshore trip out of nearby Belmar, NJ
in the middle of January found Dovekie, Common Murre, Razorbill,
Kittiwake, Iceland Gull, etc.

The trip cost is $185.  The boat sails at 6:00 AM, returning at
roughly 6:00 PM. To make a reservation, contact us by phone at
215-234-6805 or e-mail us at i...@paulagics.com.  As long as there is
space, walk-ons are welcome but we can only accept cash then.

Hope to see you aboard.

[nysbirds-l] Pt. Lookout & Massapequa Preserve Birds (Nassau Co.)

2014-01-29 Thread ken feustel
We birded Pt. Lookout this morning with mediocre results. Our best bird was a 
Western Willet feeding along the rocks at Fireman's Park, undoubtedly the same 
bird reported a few weeks ago from this location. Our most intriguing (and 
disappointing) bird was a small loon feeding on the outgoing tide on the WE2 
side of the inlet. The bird was observed in the vicinity of red buoy # 8 about 
10:30 AM. The bird had a brownish nape, lighter than the dark back. The bill 
was narrow, straight and held at the horizontal to the water. The head was 
nicely rounded with no forehead bump as seen on Common Loons. Due to frequent 
diving, we had multiple, brief looks at the bird as it drifted in to the mouth 
of the inlet (and straight into the sun). We could not see sufficient detail to 
see the sharp dark/light demarcation on the side of the neck, nor whether the 
bird had a chin strap. Once the bird drifted to a point where we were looking 
directly into the sun, we gave up, only to have the bird reappear near buoy # 
8. We realized that we would have much closer looks from the WE2 side so to the 
east side of the inlet we went. We found all the birds that were in the general 
vicinity of the mystery loon (Common, and Red-throated Loons, Horned Grebe, and 
Long-tailed Duck) but not the loon in question. After spending some time 
scoping the area It was becoming uncomfortable facing  into a stiffening west 
wind so we packed it in and headed for Massapequa Preserve. Birders looking in 
the inlet should keep an eye out for this bird, which may be Shawn Billerman's 
Pacific Loon observed a few weeks ago from the WE2 boat basin. At Mass. 
Preserve the Eurasian Wigeon hybrid and young male were feeding with American 
Wigeon on the ballfield with Canada Geese. Other birds present were Hermit 
Thrush, Brown Thrasher, and Winter Wren. Photos of the Willet and a few 
waterfowl are on my flickr site.

[nysbirds-l] "Where have all the 'geese' gone......" with thoughts of Pete Seeger, who passed on the 27th, at age 94.

2014-01-29 Thread robert adamo
Today, for the 2nd day in a row, I couldn't find a single Canada Goose
flock in the Roanoke area farm fields. Merritt's Pond however, as it did
yesterday, held a sizeable flock of Canadas, and a small group of Snow
Geese. Unlike yesterday (when I had 7) today I only counted 6, although,
due to the birds being so close to each other, it was probably still there,
just out of sight. Among those seen, were the 2 Blue morphs, 1 adult
& 1 juvenile.

While checking out the geese as they lifted off the pond, a lone Turkey
Vulture  passed through my field of view, and for a moment, thought I might
treated to a T.V. / Great Black-Backed Gull encounter. The gull was busy
feeding on a smaller carcass (?), not noticing the vulture overhead, whom
I'm sure noticed what was happening on the ice below. For whatever reason
eg., not hungry, not wanting to tangle with a Black-Backed, etc. it
just slowly moved on.

Cheers,
Bob

[nysbirds-l] Barnacle Goose and Bronx Redheads...

2014-01-29 Thread Andrew Baksh
The Randall's Island Barnacle Gooses continues.  Observed in the creek and
on the field near the indoor tennis facilities.  It was hanging out with a
mixed flock of Brandt's and Canada Geese.

In the Bronx, just off Hunters Island (near Orchard Beach), I came across a
rather impressive raft of an estimated 4000 Scaup most of which were
Greater.  In the mix were two drake Redheads and 1 female Canvasback.

I spent over and hour sifting through the flock a few times but did not see
the Eurasian Wigeon that was reported with the Scaup. In fact, I did not
have any Wigeons at all in the area I was searching.

[nysbirds-l] Rusty Blackbird and Ravens at Kissena Park along with a Red-Headed Woodpecker and a Turkey Vulture

2014-01-29 Thread Joseph O'Sullivan
I made it back to Kissena Park (Queens, NYC) today and saw a single Rusty
Blackbird south of the marsh. The pair of Common Ravens made a brief
appearance on the path that runs parallel to 164th Street before bring
chased out of the park by a Red-tailed Hawk. A Turkey Vulture also made a
brief appearance over the fields on the western half of the park.

I found at the park six (6) species of woodpecker, the most notable was an
adult male Red-headed Woodpecker. Also present were a Yellow-bellied
Sapsucker, a flicker, a hairy and a few red-bellied and downy woodpeckers.

I saw a total of 27 species, and my list can be found on ebird.

I didn't have the time to investigate, but a Cesar Castillo and a dog
walker reported seeing the red-tailed hawks nesting and a great-horned owl
in the park.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach CG Sta.

2014-01-29 Thread Tim Dunn
A quick lunchtime spin through Jones Beach today revealed limited bird 
activity. 

1 female type Lapland Longspur was on the grass just east of the 
restroom/refreshment stand at the Coast Guard Station with approx 10 Horned 
Larks. 1 Long-tailed Duck offered closer-than-usual views in the marina. 

1 hunting Merlin and 1 perched Sharpie were seen from Wantagh Pkwy just north 
of the tower on the way out of the park.

[nysbirds-l] Red-headed Woodpecker @ Kissena Park Queens

2014-01-29 Thread Cesar Castillo
While birding Kissena Park this afternoon I ran into Joseph O'Sullivan.  He 
reported a Red-headed woodpecker, male with bright red head.  I went looking 
for the bird immediately and found it.  Took and video.  The bird was seen by 
him and I in the sycamore trees just north of the Lake, south of Oak Ave, very 
near restrooms/park offices.

http://flic.kr/p/jAZAJ3


Also reported by Joseph were some Ravens which I missed, and a Merlin, which I 
did see.   Rusty blackbirds, brown thrasher and catbird continue at the park.  
A number of fox sparrows also are associating with the brown thrasher.
