RE: [nysbirds-l] Am. Golden-Plover - Nickerson Beach 9/8 (Nassau Co)

Hi Brendan,

I saw two groups of gulls feeding on flying ants in Brooklyn yesterday evening 
(7 Sep), at Plumb Beach at 7:10 and at Spring Creek Park at 7:20. Laughing and 
Ring-billed Gulls usually predominate in these events, with Common Terns and 
Herring Gulls also participating sometimes. The emergences tend to be around 
this time, but it's interesting how synchronized they are within a given year.

Here's a photo of from 2009. An entomologist friend of mine once identified the 
species involved, but I can't remember.

Hi everyone,

Peter Post's plover continued apparently all day, bathing at an ephemeral pool 
just south and west of the main Nickerson lot. 2 Royal Terns were working just 
offshore and a Lesser Black-backed Gull was on the beachfront. As I was driving 
out of the lot I had a naked-eye look at a medium-sized, mostly dark shorebird 
which looked like a (likely the) golden-plover, flying strongly east towards Pt 
Lookout and Jones Inlet.

At Camp Anchor, a couple of beaches west of Nickerson (with the "mushroom" 
pavillions), a large congregation of shorebirds feeding in the surf included 
130 American Oystercatchers, 160 Red Knot, and several billion Sanderlings.

The most interesting experience was a sudden vortex of Laughing Gulls that 
formed over the Nickerson ballfields around 6:45pm. Roughly 300 gulls and some 
terns were feeding on a fairly dense emergence of small, termite-like winged 
insects. And over the dunes at anchor around 100 Common Terns and a few 
Laughing Gulls were performing a similar stunt. Larids flycatching is very 
entertaining to watch.

Best,
Brendan Fogarty

About an hour spent this evening at Swan River Preserve in East Patchogue -
most of the time was spent on the east side sitting along the bank of the
river observing birds.  Also I was happy to see a Great Egret catching a
variety of prey inside the pond.

[nysbirds-l] Caspian Tern- Jamaica Bay (belated report)

2016-09-08 Thread Sean Camillieri 
My apologies for sending this out a day late but I had 1 Caspian Tern drop
in at the North end at 3:42pm yesterday. It preened for a few minutes then
flew West.

The few shorebirds that were around were hiding in the reeds due to a HY
Peregrine Falcon and a Merlin cruising the pond. The only notables were a
White-rumped Sandpiper and a Wilson's Snipe which flushed right in front of
me as I was leaving through the south end.

Blue-winged and Green-winged Teal, Gadwall, Northern Shoveler were well
represented along with the usual inhabitants.
