Re: [nysbirds-l] Plum Beach Northern Wheatear

[Felipe Pimentel]

Hi Ardith,

I arrived around 2:15pm to Plum Beach after spending all the morning looking 
for the Say’s Phoebe that was not seen during that time (10AM-1:30PM). There 
were some birders around who said that the N. Wheatear had been perching on the 
wooden structure and on a nearby trunk for 30 minutes or so. After that the 
bird was seen flying once (around 3:30PM) but it was not located in any of the 
places where it had been seen perching before (including the graffiti boat). We 
left at 6PM without seeing the bird again.

[nysbirds-l] Plum Beach Northern Wheatear

[Ardith Bondi]

I had the bird sitting on its old perch (the wooden frame on the south 
side of the marsh) from 1:20 until 2pm, and then it disappeared again. 
I'm wondering if it ever reappeared.


Checking with a couple of the many kiteboarders out there, I was told 
that they had clocked the winds at 21mph gusting to 28. Where the bird 
was sitting, it was probably somewhat protected, but we weren't.

[nysbirds-l] Say's Phoebe Pics and Directions (And Wheatear Update)

[Corey Finger]

If you are going for the Say's Phoebe at Edgemere today here is the easiest
way to get there by car:

Get out to the Rockaways via the Cross Bay Bridge and head east on Beach
Channel Drive. Take a left on Beach 51st Street (after passing a housing
project on your left) and at the end of Beach 51st Street continue straight
(be careful, the entrance has a kind of big bump). Drive past the
sanitation facility on your right and where the road ends take a right.
This will put you behind the sanitiation facility. Turn right and drive
around the bottom of the capped landfill. The bird was last seen on the
northeast side where there is a gravel road that goes up to the top of the
landfill.  Make sure to drive slowly on and around the landfill as the road
is pretty rough. If you have a low-clearance vehicle do not try to go up on
top, especially from the access directly behind the sanitation facility. (I
do it but I have a Ford Focus that doesn't mind a bit of punishment.)

You can also take the A train to Beach 44th Street or Beach 60 Street and
walk from there.

There have not been any issues in the last year or so with Sanitation
Department employees making people leave and the wild dog pack has been
gone for at least 18 months.

If you look at Google maps, Edgemere Preserve is the big green bulge
sticking out of the Rockaways south of JFK airport that is labeled
“Rockaway Community Park.”

Pics of the bird are here:
http://1birds.com/a-says-phoebe-at-edgemere-landfill-queens-new-york.htm

Also, the Northern Wheatear was seen again yesterday evening as reported on
the New York Birders Facebook page by Gus Keri who wrote:

"It was very unfortunately for a lot of people who went to Plumb beach to
see the Northern Wheatear today but they could not. I felt sorry for them.
The bird was last seen around 11:30 am and then no body saw it again.

After I walked along the south side of the beach, I couldn't see it either.
then, I decided to go to the northern end where it was reported (near the
Graffiti boat), which meant I had to walk back to the parking lot and walk
along the north side of the beach because of the high tide that blocked the
way; and here it was.

The bird was flying back and forth between the bushes that are lining the
northern side of the high tide water.

the best way to reach this area during high tide is by walking the paved
path on the side of the Belt Parkway and then go down to the beach just
before you reach the bridge."

He continued in the comments: "We saw the bird on 4 different occasions
between 4:30 pm and 6:00 pm. It landed near a small bush just 50 meters
north of the boat on two occasions."

Finally, here are some images of the Strack Pond Connecticut Warbler, which
was last seen on Friday:

Good Birding,

[nysbirds-l] Plum Beach Northern Wheatear

[Ardith Bondi]

I had the bird sitting on its old perch (the wooden frame on the south 
side of the marsh) from 1:20 until 2pm, and then it disappeared again. 
I'm wondering if it ever reappeared.


Checking with a couple of the many kiteboarders out there, I was told 
that they had clocked the winds at 21mph gusting to 28. Where the bird 
was sitting, it was probably somewhat protected, but we weren't.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Plum Beach Northern Wheatear

[Felipe Pimentel]

Hi Ardith,

I arrived around 2:15pm to Plum Beach after spending all the morning looking 
for the Say’s Phoebe that was not seen during that time (10AM-1:30PM). There 
were some birders around who said that the N. Wheatear had been perching on the 
wooden structure and on a nearby trunk for 30 minutes or so. After that the 
bird was seen flying once (around 3:30PM) but it was not located in any of the 
places where it had been seen perching before (including the graffiti boat). We 
left at 6PM without seeing the bird again. 

Felipe
