Hi Andrew:
If you don't mind, I am going to print a screenshot of your email in the QCBC 
newsletter as an update about the West Pond.
Thank you.

    Some photos from yesterday's Shorebird Festival can be seen here 
I should add that during yesterday's presentation, I learned that the 
superintendent of Gateway, Jennifer Nersesian, announced that the breach to the 
West Pond will be closed. That is the text message I received while I was at 
the north end of the East Pond with a small group who stayed with me.  While 
there is no timeline or details associated with her announcement, it has to be 
seen as a positive development that we at least have on RECORD, someone from 
National Park Service committing to closing the breach.
l want to also add that I am grateful that Lloyd, Don and Kevin continue to 
organize this event which is so much needed at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. I 
hope they continue to do so for many years to come. If you missed the event 
yesterday, think about attending next year. The usage of places like the refuge 
for wildlife observation is very key to how decisions are made in maintaining 
and enhancing existing wildlife habitats.
Cheers,

Today we had two bird walks, one starting at 7:30 am and another
starting at 9:00am with most of the 7:30 birders continuing. This is the
combined list:

Red-tailed Hawk

Downy Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Northern Flicker

Gray Catbird
Ovenbird
Northern Waterthrush
Blue-winged Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler

American Redstart
Northern Parula
Magnolia Warbler
Yellow Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler

Miriam Rakowski reported a Rose-breasted Grosbeak at the Upper Lobe.

The Green Heron at Turtle Pond was a hatch-year bird.
During the ten minutes that I watched it fishing, it made five attempts and
caught four fish, an 80% success rate- not bad for a youngster on a 
duckweed-covered
pond. Bob tells me the fish were bluegills.

[nysbirds-l] 6 BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS--Riverhead sod fields (Suffolk)

2015-09-05 Thread John Gluth

Knowing that I would be out in the Eastport/Riverhead area for non-birding 
reasons, I made sure to bring my scope in order to look for grasspipers on the 
sod fields as soon as my obligations were done.
The Eastport fields (Eastport Manor Rd. and Rte 51) yielded only a few Killdeer 
combined, so it was on to Riverhead. There, I started my search on the fields 
bordered by Doctor's Path, Northville Tpke, Rte. 105, and Sound Avenue. My 
vantage point was the firefighter training facility accessed from Northville 
Tpke, west of 105. I'd been scoping for barely 5 minutes when I spotted 6 birds 
foraging on a fallow field off to the west--BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS all. They 
were still there when I left at ~3:45. A subsequent check of the Osborn Ave. 
field turned up no further grasspipers of any kind.

[nysbirds-l] Oceanside

2015-09-05 Thread syschiff

Marine Nature Study Area, Oceanside 5 September

Of interest this morning was a CLAPPER RAIL that flew onto the marsh edge and 
disappeared into the spartina. Just happened to be in the right place at the 
right time,

The other Marsh denizen was an adult SALTMARSH SPARROW. This bird is unbanded 
and has been around for a few days. It's probably is a migrant, since as part 
of the ongoing field study, all the marsh sparrows and their young on the 
property have (hopefully) been banded, tested.and measured. The residents 
sparrows as well as the breeding WILLETS should all be mostly gone by now. Only 
a single adult Willet was seen this morning.
