[nysbirds-l] The Gargeny at Montezuma Refuge

2016-07-17 Thread Robert Lewis
Any recent information on this bird?  I have the opportunity to be nearby and 
could stop tomorrow or Tuesday.
Not to be a broken record, as I've asked this before, but has anyone 
investigated the possibility that this bird is an escapee?   Any informed 
opinion on this topic would be appreciated.

[nysbirds-l] West End, Jones Beach Shorebirds (Nassau Co.)

2016-07-17 Thread Ken Feustel
This morning, on an outgoing tide, there were a decent variety of shorebirds on 
the bar at the West End marina, and a good variety in the ponds between WE2 and 
the nature preserve. Highlights included some fifteen Western Willets on the 
sandbar along with four Red Knots. On the ponds were two Stilt Sandpipers and a 
Pectoral Sandpiper along with an immature Yellow-crowned Night Heron. Although 
shorebird numbers were not particularly impressive, variety was good with 
fourteen species recorded.

[nysbirds-l] Myesr;s point Ithaca NY and OT request:Pantanal, Brazil Birdinng

2016-07-17 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
Hi all,

I spent a couple of hours at Myers Point yesterday afternoon. It was delightful 
to watch many fledglings, young and adults interactions. There was family of 
Eastern Kingbirds which were being fed by the adults and young were so eager to 
be fed, always ready to open their mounts at the approach of the parent. It was 
neat to see the bright pink gape of young. Then there were families of Barn 
Swallows, Cedar Waxwings and Ospreys. All at different stages of development. 
It was almost more than an hour and half since the male Osprey brought any fish 
to the female and young. At the end of that hour they became so restless and 
each and everyone is was looking hopefully for the father to come. And female 
kept persistently calling. When we were watching through the scope one of the 
young directly was watching us. It would shake its head to get in a snaky 
fashion and peer at us intently.


An OT request- Has anyone been to Pantanal, Brazil area on their own, not with 
a bird guide or tour but in adventurous mode? If so and  you don't mind sharing 
some information please directly contact me at m...@cornell.edu because I want 
to know what locations would you recommend and thanks in advance.



Cheers

Meena
