[nysbirds-l] Glossy Ibis - east Patchogue

[leormand]

On my morning run along Roe avenue I saw a glossy ibis flying. This evening 
while biking around Swan River Preserve (just south of Swan Lake - about 1.5 
miles north of where I saw the glossy this morning) I observed a glossy ibis 
feeding in the ponds. There were also several geese family and a large swan 
family - unfortunate side effects of creating this new habitat.

[nysbirds-l] Jilt by Stilt, x 2

[robert adamo]

Last Saturday I tried for the Black-necked Stilt (for all of about 15
minutes) at the Smith's Point Marina, on my way west to watch grandson # 3
play in a CYO basketball game...his team succeeded, mine didn't ! Today I
tried again for the bird, with the same results, except I had a few more
species to show for this lengthier visit !

By walking up the west wall of the impoundment, you can see most of the
marsh (w/o the entrance road) where Mike Scheibel first found it. While not
finding the Stilt, I did manage to find 1, of the 2, Little Blue Herons
reported by Angus Wilson. The impoundment itself, while not covered in
water, has several areas of standing water which yielded: a pair of
Gadwalls, 2 pairs of Mallards, a Willet, and 14 Least Sandpipers, that
landed and started to feed.

Cheers,
Bob

[nysbirds-l] Nickerson: One good tern deserves another, and five more

[Tim Healy]

Got down to Nickerson Beach at about 12:50 chasing this morning's reports. Over 
the course of the afternoon I picked up seven species of tern: Black (2), 
Roseate (5), Royal (1), Gull-billed (1), Forster's (2), Least (~40) and Common 
(hundreds). Didn't see an Arctic among the birds encountered, though I paid 
special attention to the 1st summer types. Can't complain...a seven tern day is 
pretty great for Nassau! Also saw my first oystercatcher chicks of the season 
and a Piping Plover performing a distraction display for a passing 
oystercatcher. 

Cheers!

[nysbirds-l] Plateau Mountain Breeding Bird Survey

[Steve M. Chorvas]

Plateau Mountain, Greene County
Wednesday, 03 June and Saturday, 06 June 2015

Last week I conducted two annual breeding bird surveys on the summit of 
Plateau Mountain for the Vermont Center for Ecostudies Mountain 
Birdwatch program.  The first survey covers the southeastern half of the 
two-mile long summit plateau, the second survey starts near Orchard 
Ledge and extends out over the northwestern half.  The survey starts 
before sunrise and utilizes six 20-minute point counts/survey to 
document the presence of Bicknell's Thrush and seven additional target 
species that breed in the high-elevation coniferous forest of the 
Catskill Mountains.

Weather conditions this year were not as cooperative in comparison to 
the past 15 years during the first survey, and deteriorated to 
borderline acceptable during the second effort.  Temperatures were 
pleasantly cold on 03 June (44° F) with fog and a persistent light 
breeze, followed by warmer temperatures (55° F), more fog, a persistent 
drizzle, and considerably more wind on 06 June.

The list below represents bird species encountered on the mountain over 
the two-day period, including the early morning ascent in darkness, 
survey period, post-count at high elevation in principally coniferous 
forest, late morning descent into lower elevation deciduous habitat, and 
a short walk along the base of Plateau Mountain in Stony Clove.  Most of 
the species and individuals were first encountered on 03 June.  Only 
when a total number was greater on the subsequent survey did I add the 
difference to the adjusted two-day compilation to avoid potential 
duplication.

Overall, diversity was about average but individuals were down for most 
species (some considerably).  For comparative purposes, I included this 
year's tally in parentheses (), followed by last year's numbers in 
brackets [].  Weather conditions may have been a factor, and I did not 
linger on the mountain post-survey for as long as I typically do, but 
during my time on the mountain there clearly seemed to be far fewer 
singing birds this year.



Plateau Mountain Bird Species List (2015) and [2014]

Peregrine Falcon (0)  [2]
Barred Owl (1 vocalizing on the ascent)  [4]
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (0)  [4]
Hairy Woodpecker (1)  [1]
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher (5)  [23]
Eastern Wood-Pewee (0)  [1]
Blue-headed Vireo (0)  [1]
Red-eyed Vireo (18)  [2]
Blue Jay (0)  [2]
Common Raven (3)  [5]
Black-capped Chickadee (2)  [0]
Red-breasted Nuthatch (5)  [14]
Brown Creeper (2)  [1]
Winter Wren (10)  [18]
Golden-crowned Kinglet (8)  [15]
Ruby-crowned Kinglet (0)  [2]
Bicknell's Thrush (12)  [26]
Swainson's Thrush (15)  [20]
Hermit Thrush (1)  [3]
Cedar Waxwing (3+ heard only flyovers, in three locations) [4]
Magnolia Warbler (10)  [20]
Black-throated Blue Warbler (11)  [5]
Yellow-rumped Warbler (18)  [16]
Black-throated Green Warbler (7)  [6]
Blackburnian Warbler (6)  [10]
Blackpoll Warbler (16)  [26]
Black-and-white Warbler (1)  [3]
American Redstart (1)  [4]
Ovenbird (3)  [2]
Mourning Warbler (3 singing on territory)  [9]
Canada Warbler (0)  [5]
Scarlet Tanager (1)  [2]
White-throated Sparrow (3)  [15]
Dark-eyed Junco (5) [10]
Rose-breasted Grosbeak (1)  [2]
Indigo Bunting (2)  [2]
Purple Finch (5)  [10]


I did not detect Peregrine Falcons along the steep cliffs of Stony 
Clove, or the presence of Northern Saw-whet Owl or Ruby-crowned Kinglet 
up on the mountain this year.  The large synchronized flight of 
thousands of small non-descript moths that I have encountered in some 
past years flying at lower elevations were non-existent this year. 
Several (5+) Pepper and Salt Skippers (butterflies) were present in 
fresh condition along Stony Clove, and an old (2014) Mourning Cloak in 
perhaps the final hours of her life was observed imbibing minerals 
and/or moisture on wet soil, then depositing a cluster of eggs on a 
willow twig.

[nysbirds-l] Charging at Nickerson Beach - Clarfication

[Peter Post]

I just called the office at Nickerson Beach and they gave me a  
different story than the persons I spoke to who were actually  
collecting the entrance fee last weekend.

The official story is:
They are not yet charging during the week until after Father's Day.
Weekend hours (including Friday) are 9-5, until after Father's Day,  
even though the staff collecting the entrance fee stopped at 4:00.
After Father's Day they will stop charging at 6:00 pm every day of  
the week..

BTW. The entrance fee is $30.00 for non-residents.

[nysbirds-l] Charging at Nickerson Beach

[Peter Post]

They currently charge between the hours of 9:00 am and 4:00 pm. The  
schedule changes on Father's Day. The staff doesn't yet know what the  
new schedule will be. In the past they started charging at 8:30 am.  
The hours they stopped charging have varied from after 5:00 pm to  
after 6:00 pm, depending on the year and day of the week.

[nysbirds-l] Nickerson Beach

[syschiff]

Nickerson Beach 9 July

A group of us had a productive morning for terns. COMMON, ROSEATE, GULL-BILLED, 
BLACK and ROYAL. Also, there were a number of first summer Common Terns, quite 
rare and interesting to view.

In addition, a first year tern with short legs that hinted at ARCTIC TERN was 
on the beach.  This one was photographed from a great distance and is under 
review before seeking advice.

FYI.  They have not started charging to visit Nickerson Beach during the week, 
so it's free (probably till July 4th. Don't have the weekend schedule)

Re: [nysbirds-l] Terns at Nickerson Beach

[Felipe Pimentel]

You can go after 5PM and at that time they don’t charge parking fees. I was 
there yesterday around 5PM and it was pretty windy and most of the terns were 
concentrated on the left side of the beach. You should park near the building 
were the bathrooms are, you walk towards the beach and turn left and you will 
find the terns (by the hundreds) sitting on the sand, flying around or feeding 
(fishing) in on the shore. Yesterday, there was a Black tern and several other 
species other than the Common terns that are nesting on the dunes.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Terns at Nickerson Beach

[Shaibal Mitra]

In addition to these fine finds for Nassau County, an adult Arctic Tern was 
identified and photographed yesterday (8 June) at Nickerson by Bobby Kurtz and 
Joe Viglietta.

Although this species is becoming more familiar to NYS birders, it is 
nevertheless still an excellent find anywhere in the state and can be very 
challenging to identify. Photographs are still very much desired in support of 
all reports. With his permission, two of Joe's photos can be seen here:

RE: [nysbirds-l] Terns at Nickerson Beach

[Shaibal Mitra]

In addition to these fine finds for Nassau County, an adult Arctic Tern was 
identified and photographed yesterday (8 June) at Nickerson by Bobby Kurtz and 
Joe Viglietta.

Although this species is becoming more familiar to NYS birders, it is 
nevertheless still an excellent find anywhere in the state and can be very 
challenging to identify. Photographs are still very much desired in support of 
all reports. With his permission, two of Joe's photos can be seen here:

Re: [nysbirds-l] Terns at Nickerson Beach

[Felipe Pimentel]

You can go after 5PM and at that time they don’t charge parking fees. I was 
there yesterday around 5PM and it was pretty windy and most of the terns were 
concentrated on the left side of the beach. You should park near the building 
were the bathrooms are, you walk towards the beach and turn left and you will 
find the terns (by the hundreds) sitting on the sand, flying around or feeding 
(fishing) in on the shore. Yesterday, there was a Black tern and several other 
species other than the Common terns that are nesting on the dunes.

[nysbirds-l] Nickerson Beach

[syschiff]

Nickerson Beach 9 July

A group of us had a productive morning for terns. COMMON, ROSEATE, GULL-BILLED, 
BLACK and ROYAL. Also, there were a number of first summer Common Terns, quite 
rare and interesting to view.

In addition, a first year tern with short legs that hinted at ARCTIC TERN was 
on the beach.  This one was photographed from a great distance and is under 
review before seeking advice.

FYI.  They have not started charging to visit Nickerson Beach during the week, 
so it's free (probably till July 4th. Don't have the weekend schedule)

[nysbirds-l] Charging at Nickerson Beach - Clarfication

[Peter Post]

I just called the office at Nickerson Beach and they gave me a  
different story than the persons I spoke to who were actually  
collecting the entrance fee last weekend.

The official story is:
They are not yet charging during the week until after Father's Day.
Weekend hours (including Friday) are 9-5, until after Father's Day,  
even though the staff collecting the entrance fee stopped at 4:00.
After Father's Day they will stop charging at 6:00 pm every day of  
the week..

BTW. The entrance fee is $30.00 for non-residents.

[nysbirds-l] Charging at Nickerson Beach

[Peter Post]

They currently charge between the hours of 9:00 am and 4:00 pm. The  
schedule changes on Father's Day. The staff doesn't yet know what the  
new schedule will be. In the past they started charging at 8:30 am.  
The hours they stopped charging have varied from after 5:00 pm to  
after 6:00 pm, depending on the year and day of the week.

[nysbirds-l] Plateau Mountain Breeding Bird Survey

[Steve M. Chorvas]

Plateau Mountain, Greene County
Wednesday, 03 June and Saturday, 06 June 2015

Last week I conducted two annual breeding bird surveys on the summit of 
Plateau Mountain for the Vermont Center for Ecostudies Mountain 
Birdwatch program.  The first survey covers the southeastern half of the 
two-mile long summit plateau, the second survey starts near Orchard 
Ledge and extends out over the northwestern half.  The survey starts 
before sunrise and utilizes six 20-minute point counts/survey to 
document the presence of Bicknell's Thrush and seven additional target 
species that breed in the high-elevation coniferous forest of the 
Catskill Mountains.

Weather conditions this year were not as cooperative in comparison to 
the past 15 years during the first survey, and deteriorated to 
borderline acceptable during the second effort.  Temperatures were 
pleasantly cold on 03 June (44° F) with fog and a persistent light 
breeze, followed by warmer temperatures (55° F), more fog, a persistent 
drizzle, and considerably more wind on 06 June.

The list below represents bird species encountered on the mountain over 
the two-day period, including the early morning ascent in darkness, 
survey period, post-count at high elevation in principally coniferous 
forest, late morning descent into lower elevation deciduous habitat, and 
a short walk along the base of Plateau Mountain in Stony Clove.  Most of 
the species and individuals were first encountered on 03 June.  Only 
when a total number was greater on the subsequent survey did I add the 
difference to the adjusted two-day compilation to avoid potential 
duplication.

Overall, diversity was about average but individuals were down for most 
species (some considerably).  For comparative purposes, I included this 
year's tally in parentheses (), followed by last year's numbers in 
brackets [].  Weather conditions may have been a factor, and I did not 
linger on the mountain post-survey for as long as I typically do, but 
during my time on the mountain there clearly seemed to be far fewer 
singing birds this year.



Plateau Mountain Bird Species List (2015) and [2014]

Peregrine Falcon (0)  [2]
Barred Owl (1 vocalizing on the ascent)  [4]
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (0)  [4]
Hairy Woodpecker (1)  [1]
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher (5)  [23]
Eastern Wood-Pewee (0)  [1]
Blue-headed Vireo (0)  [1]
Red-eyed Vireo (18)  [2]
Blue Jay (0)  [2]
Common Raven (3)  [5]
Black-capped Chickadee (2)  [0]
Red-breasted Nuthatch (5)  [14]
Brown Creeper (2)  [1]
Winter Wren (10)  [18]
Golden-crowned Kinglet (8)  [15]
Ruby-crowned Kinglet (0)  [2]
Bicknell's Thrush (12)  [26]
Swainson's Thrush (15)  [20]
Hermit Thrush (1)  [3]
Cedar Waxwing (3+ heard only flyovers, in three locations) [4]
Magnolia Warbler (10)  [20]
Black-throated Blue Warbler (11)  [5]
Yellow-rumped Warbler (18)  [16]
Black-throated Green Warbler (7)  [6]
Blackburnian Warbler (6)  [10]
Blackpoll Warbler (16)  [26]
Black-and-white Warbler (1)  [3]
American Redstart (1)  [4]
Ovenbird (3)  [2]
Mourning Warbler (3 singing on territory)  [9]
Canada Warbler (0)  [5]
Scarlet Tanager (1)  [2]
White-throated Sparrow (3)  [15]
Dark-eyed Junco (5) [10]
Rose-breasted Grosbeak (1)  [2]
Indigo Bunting (2)  [2]
Purple Finch (5)  [10]


I did not detect Peregrine Falcons along the steep cliffs of Stony 
Clove, or the presence of Northern Saw-whet Owl or Ruby-crowned Kinglet 
up on the mountain this year.  The large synchronized flight of 
thousands of small non-descript moths that I have encountered in some 
past years flying at lower elevations were non-existent this year. 
Several (5+) Pepper and Salt Skippers (butterflies) were present in 
fresh condition along Stony Clove, and an old (2014) Mourning Cloak in 
perhaps the final hours of her life was observed imbibing minerals 
and/or moisture on wet soil, then depositing a cluster of eggs on a 
willow twig.

[nysbirds-l] Jilt by Stilt, x 2

[robert adamo]

Last Saturday I tried for the Black-necked Stilt (for all of about 15
minutes) at the Smith's Point Marina, on my way west to watch grandson # 3
play in a CYO basketball game...his team succeeded, mine didn't ! Today I
tried again for the bird, with the same results, except I had a few more
species to show for this lengthier visit !

By walking up the west wall of the impoundment, you can see most of the
marsh (w/o the entrance road) where Mike Scheibel first found it. While not
finding the Stilt, I did manage to find 1, of the 2, Little Blue Herons
reported by Angus Wilson. The impoundment itself, while not covered in
water, has several areas of standing water which yielded: a pair of
Gadwalls, 2 pairs of Mallards, a Willet, and 14 Least Sandpipers, that
landed and started to feed.

Cheers,
Bob

 Yesterday morning I walked from the AT at Canopus Lake (parking on Rte. 301 
 about 1 mi. West of Taconic) to Beaver Pond on the Blue Trail which includes 
 a stretch I maintain for NY/NJ Trail Conference, and combined the maintenance 
 w Putnam County June breeding bird survey. Warblers included multiples of 
 chestnut sided, prairie, yellow, redstart, black throated blue and ovenbird, 
 the latter almost too numerous to count, also singles of worm eating, black 
 throated green and Lo. waterthrush. Numerous Veery and wood thrush and a few 
 hermit as well. Multiple rose breasted grosbeak, including one singing wide 
 open beautifully backlit for at least five minutes, scarlet tanager, and 
 pairs of great crested fly, kingbird and raven. At least 3 pileated WP. 
 Misses were both cuckoo and ruffed grouse which definitely breeds off the 
 blue trail. 
 If you don't want to wait for fall migration several hours beginning early am 
 at various Fahnestock spots may net 15 warbler species all on territory -- 
 there's lots of excellent trails to walk/hike.

 Just wanted to give folks the heads up that two Sandhill Cranes
 were submitted yesterday afternoon via eBird from Nappeague State Park.
 Photographs were verfied and the birds were last seen at the edge of
 Nappeague Pond, just south of where Crassen Boulevard meets Lazy Point Road.
 
 Good luck if you try and hopefully the birds are still around.

 Joe Giunta, just called to report that 2 Sandhills Cranes were observed in 
 the location described in Derek's e-mail below.
 
 Joe saw the birds on site and were last observed flying towards the highway 
 (Route 27). He is not sure if they dropped in somewhere else in the area.
 
 Folks heading out there are encouraged to search nearby sites if not found at 
 the original site they were found. Both positive and negative reports are 
 encouraged.

On my morning run along Roe avenue I saw a glossy ibis flying. This evening 
while biking around Swan River Preserve (just south of Swan Lake - about 1.5 
miles north of where I saw the glossy this morning) I observed a glossy ibis 
feeding in the ponds. There were also several geese family and a large swan 
family - unfortunate side effects of creating this new habitat.
