[nysbirds-l] Important to a happy life: personal hygiene, continue to read, and don't forget to "taste the grape" !

[robert adamo]

Today, my first task was to keep a dental appointment in Jamesport. My 2nd
scheduled stop was at the Riverhead Library, to return 4 books I had
finished, and extend a 5th, that was due today. While enroute to the
library, as I was passing Michael's Liquor Store, I remembered we were low
on "whites", so I stopped and shopped ! Returning to the car with my bottle
bargains, I heard the distinct croak of a C.Raven coming from behind the
houses and trees on the other side of E.Main St. The bird(s) called 4
times, with each croak sounding like *Corvus cryptoleucus* and not that of
a young of either species of crow. Although I didn't see the bird(s), I
feel confidant with the call. This is the first of this species for me in
Riverhead...I guess I should check all of the town's water towers ! And of
course, the moral of this story is "a bottle of wine in the hand, is worth
two on the vine" !

Cheers,
Bob

Thanks for the shout out Steve.

Pat Rafferty and Jennifer Nersesian were also notified. Hopefully, we have some 
sort of resolution to this issue quickly.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay East Pond Status

[Steve Walter]

I stopped off at Jamaica Bay yesterday to check out the East Pond. Not
trying to do Andrew's "job" (in fact, he already tipped me off), but I'll
say that I went dragonflying (and I don't mind getting my feet wet).
Currently, the water extends all the way to the reeds along of the southwest
part of the pond. The shallowest that the water is in any spot is about an
inch and a half. But we've been down that road before, and time will solve
that (barring more heavy rains).

 

The bigger problem is that the property owner to the south of the pond had a
fence built. The fence extends into the water and effectively blocks access
to the east side of the pond (unless you want to go through the muddy
northeast entrance). I don't know where exactly the park boundary is and if
this is legal. I'll let the National Park Service deal with it. I sent an
e-mail to the refuge manager, who should be returning from his weekend
tomorrow. Hopefully, I can hear something back soon.

 

In the meantime, keep these issues in mind if you're planning a visit to the
East Pond.

[nysbirds-l] eBird.org: Recent Additions to County Checklists

[Ben Cacace]

When working on the NYS eBird Hotspots wiki I'll compare the previous bar
chart list of species with the current one picking up any additions or
deletions. By going to each county's 'Overview' page you can determine the
date the species was added by county. Some are from newly submitted
checklists from many months / years ago.

It isn't possible to spot these additions from old checklists. On the
'Overview' page you can sort on 'First Seen' but if the species wasn't
added recently it won't appear at the top of the list.

For each county on the NYS eBird Hotspots site click the 'Overview' link on
the 'Explore a Location' line:
— http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York

Yellow highlights a species added for the first time over the past few
months.

[nysbirds-l] Montauk pelagic birds on CRESLI whale watching trip 7/9/17

[Arie Gilbert]

I did an impromptu trip yesterday and was very pleased with the results .

We cruised east of Montauk and south of Block Island to where the whales 
and other sea life was feeding.


The Fin whale show was exceptional. Short nosed dolphins were in the 
hundreds.


Cory's and Great Shearwaters were present in large numbers, offering 
study at close range both on the wing and sitting on the surface. Large 
numbers of Wilson's Storm-petrels were present as well.


No less than 10 Sooty Shearwaters were seen, as well as one Manx 
Shearwater seen well.


For those unfamiliar, the very large vessel used is part of the "Viking 
Fleet" and is **very stable**, so more suited for those who despair of 
mal de mer. The trips are also very reasonably priced, and you are back 
at the dock by 3:30pm the same day.


We did not have a rarity as had been reported recently, but the trip's 
results were excellent nevertheless. One thing is for certain, each trip 
is unique so one never knows what will show up when...

[nysbirds-l] Birding Long island today suggestions

[Robert Lewis]

I'm going to spend some time at Cupsogue today, leaving there around 4:00pm.  
Where would be a good place to spend another two hours or so on Long Island on 
the way back west? Robert Moses?  Jones Beach?  The tide will be pretty high.

[nysbirds-l] Singing White-winged Crossbill!

[Joan Collins]

We found a singing White-winged Crossbill in Bloomingdale yesterday
(7/9/17)!  Matt Young said he predicted this species would be in NY by the
end of July - he was right!  There were also calling Red Crossbills.  I'll
post more soon.
