[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots: Westchester County Completed

[Ben Cacace]

All the of the hotspots for Westchester County now have wiki pages similar
to the Top 10 location pages. The difference between the Top 10 and these
is there are no color highlights for the hotspots based on the spp. # and
the total spp. # is not shown in the Bar Chart tables. This keeps
maintenance down to a minimum allowing for more pages to be created for the
rest of the counties.

http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Westchester

Please take a look at the new Westchester Co. pages. There is a section
labeled "Description" for each hotspot or hotspot with sublocations which
has been filled in for a few sites including "Angle Fly Preserve" and "Twin
Lakes Park, Eastchester". If you know of webpages that are a good fit for
the description section please pass these on. There is a contact link on
the wiki page's left sidebar so you can send me an email.

Now there are two complete counties on the wiki including New York County.

Enjoy!

[nysbirds-l] CASPIAN & ROYAL TERNS Queens Co.

[Andrew Baksh]

Gulling at Breezy Point, Queens County on Monday evening was not quite 
rewarding save for the many plumages of Great Black-backed Gulls that Mei Yee 
and I were able to study at length.

During our Gulling, we came across what was very likely the same two CASPIAN 
TERNS that we reported on the 5th. An adult and juvenile. Along with the 
CASPIANS were 2 ROYAL TERNS.

Not much in terms of shorebirds save for the build up of Sanderlings. One 
flagged individual was too fat for an accurate read out of the entire code and 
I spent a frustrating 1/2 hour trying to coax it to flash its bling.

On the 4 Wheel drive trail, we pulled out a nicely plumaged Philadelphia Vireo. 
The only notable passerine, although admittedly we did not try hard for them 
since our focus was on Gulls.

A digiscoped shot of the CASPIAN and ROYAL TERNS can be seen here via my 
Twitter feed https://twitter.com/birdingdude/status/775967105393000448
