[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots: State, Counties & Locations Updated (Sep/'17)

2017-08-31 Thread Ben Cacace
Thanks to @Team_eBird for their dedication to keeping eBird.org running
smoothly and for the group of New York State hotspot moderators for their
time reviewing shared location suggestions.

The wiki page site was developed to access data on eBird.org and in places
it includes additional links to birding resources at the county and
location levels. If you have any suggestions for additional links please
[let me know] send them to me off list.

** NEW: All County pages currently have links for the Illustrated
Checklists and links to both Images and Audio from the Macaulay Library. If
you find these links helpful I can add them to the hotspot pages.

*Species totals* have been updated for all county pages. This includes the
total number of species with an equivalent color code highlighting the
county name based on colors used on eBird maps. The alphabetical list of
counties on the main page has been updated with total spp. #.

*Hotspot pages*: All location pages have been updated on the wiki. These
include 767 pages representing a total of 1,601 out of 5,835 hotspots
(27.4%). Updates involve # of species and color codings based on species #
along with updated 2017 periods on the bar chart tables displaying the
Current Month: Sep./2017, Prior Month: Aug./2017 and the current two month
period Aug.-Sep./2017 along with the current year: 2017.

For the following counties there are *individual 'dynamic' wiki pages* for
the Top 10 locations at the top of the list of shared locations: Cayuga,
Erie, Monroe, Niagara, Orange, Oswego, Seneca, Tompkins, Kings (Brooklyn),
Queens, Richmond (Staten Island), Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Westchester
and New York (Borough of Manhattan) Counties have all shared locations
linked to wikipages.

Counties with *'static' pages* do not need to be maintained on a monthly
basis. These include pages for at least the Top 10 locations and include
Albany, Bronx, Broome, Chautauqua, Delaware, Dutchess, Genesee, Hamilton,
Jefferson, Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, St. Lawrence, Saratoga, Sullivan,
Ulster & Wayne with *Putnam County* currently having *all shared locations*
linked to wikipages.

An *alphabetical list* of all hotspots (5,835) can be found on a single
page. Links exist for any hotspot with a wikipage. Clicking the county name
to the right of any hotspot will bring up the county page showing all
hotspots for the county. A link to the alphabetical list page is at the
bottom of this message. There is a link to the page at the top of the New
York State page.

*Bar Charts (Species Lists)*: For all county and top 10 location pages
there's a table showing the months, seasons and several time frames for the
current year. Clicking any of these links will bring up a complete list of
species and other taxa with bar charts representing abundance. To see a
list of species for *all* periods click on the name above the months i.e.
'New York State (478 spp.)' or 'Herkimer County (249 spp.)'.

*Maps of sightings*: After bringing up a bar chart list you'll see a MAP
button to the right of each species. Clicking this will produce a map of
the latest sightings. Red icons show sightings within the past 30 days.
Click on the icons to see a list of who reported each species and click on
'Checklist' to view their submission. Click on 'Explore Rich Media' in the
right sidebar to view locations with photos, audio or video. These also
exist for any multi-location page combining the hotspots associated with
the location i.e. Massapequa Preserve in Nassau County with its 2 locations.

*Printable Checklists*: a link has been created to produce an eBird
checklist (PDF format) for all hotspots on the wiki site. Additional
details are in this email sent to the list <
https://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/msg20153.html >.

*Tide Graphs* exist for New York County, Kings County (Brooklyn) and
Richmond County (Staten Island). There's a quick link to the tide graphs on
the "Go To >" line highlighted in blue for each location. If there are
multiple graphs on a page the left/right is generally north/south or
west/east. If you spot any issues please let me know off line.

Click '*Overview*' on any of the wiki pages to bring up a sortable list of
all species along with the latest checklists submitted and a list of the
Top eBirders. The default sort is for the latest additions to the State,
County or location.

Check out '*My Location Life List*', '*My County Life List*' and '*My State
Life List*' links on their respective pages.

For each location page click on 'Google Map Directions' to bring up a
Google Map page. On Google Maps click 'Directions' then 'Transit' to plot a
public transportation route. By clicking 'More Options and Times' you can
refine your search. This also works with 'Driving' and 'Walking'.

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

2017-08-31 Thread 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.

*Allegany County: *
Least Sandpiper (26-Aug-2017)

*Bronx County: *
Western Sandpiper (19-Aug-2017)
Red-necked Phalarope (25-Aug-2017)

*Dutchess County: *

[nysbirds-l] Loggerhead Shrike - Times Beach - Buffalo

2017-08-31 Thread Joseph Fell
Shelley Seidman found a Loggerhead Shrike at Times Beach Nature Preserve in
Buffalo. The bird was moving about a bit - during the time I was there it
was anywhere from ground level to about 40'. Others who were able to view
the bird included Joshua Ketry, Kevin Rybczynski and Becky Harbison.

The bird is banded - perhaps this will indicate the bird's origin (quite
likely one of the Carden Alvar or Napanee Plain in ON)

Times Beach is just south of downtown Buffalo on Furhman Blvd - best of
luck for anyone looking tomorrow.

[nysbirds-l] Cupsogue Flats 8/31

2017-08-31 Thread Steve Walter
An interesting morning and early afternoon at the Cupsogue flats - as it
should be at the traditional peak time for shorebird migration. 20 species
made for a decent variety, although not much was in appreciable numbers
except for Black-bellied Plover and Sanderling (the latter including my
first juveniles of the year). Of note was the highest low tide I've seen
there. The northeastern most sandbar and the inner cove never opened up.
That didn't really hamper the sojourn to and from the flats. And actually,
it should have been a benefit, as birds couldn't spread out as much as
usual. But without great numbers of birds, it wasn't much of a benefit.  

 

Upon my arrival, there was a Whimbrel standing out on the flats.
Photographic hopes were dashed when it took off, heading west, before I
crossed the last channel. About 10 minutes later, 2 Whimbrel flew from the
west to the east, moderately high and not seen landing. A juvenile Pectoral
Sandpiper on the flats at this time, was soon joined by another, seemingly
arriving in the company of several Greater Yellowlegs. An assemblage of
Willet totaled 18, looking to be of both varieties. While focusing on
getting side by side comparison shots during mid-morning, I was distracted
by a call that I hadn't heard in some time. I looked up to see the form of a
dowitcher circling around - combined with the "keek" call, a Long-billed
Dowitcher. Not in its habitat, it quickly moved on to the west. Toward the
latter part of my stay came the last goodie - a juvenile American Golden
Plover. It landed near the Black-bellies and stayed about 10 minutes, during
which I was able to obtain a few pictures. I've posted one to my web site at
http://stevewalternature.com/ .   A couple of Piping Plovers still remain.
Red Knots were disappointing with only two, an adult and a juvenile. No
godwits at the flats. 

 

Terns at the flats (as opposed to the mussel beds) weren't many. Royal Terns
peaked at only 6, with Least, Common, and Forster's just fly bys. One
surprise to see at Cupsogue that did stay for much of the time was a
Blue-winged Teal. The shorebirds were generally relaxed for much of the
time, although eventually they did have to deal with avoiding the Black
Plague. That is my nickname for the very dark Peregrine Falcon that's still
there.

 

I joined up with Doug and Marc for part of their grasspiper search - a part
which only produced Killdeers. That took me to route 51 and close to Pine
Meadow County Park. Being that close to one of my favorite butterfly spots,
I opted to do that for a bit. That resulted in a White M Hairstreak, my
first in Suffolk county in 16 years - a nice capper to the day.

After ANOTHER unsuccessful search for the Hud Godwit and miss of the Marbled 
Godwit, we did get to see 4 Common Nighthawks flying over the center median at 
Jones Beach. 

Now, Arie said he spotted them first, but we really know it was me! 

Thank you Stephane for the lesson! I looked up!

[nysbirds-l] Marbled Godwit at West End, Jones Beach State Park (Nassau Co.)

2017-08-31 Thread Ken Feustel
A Marbled Godwit was observed late this morning on the sandbar on the north 
side of Jones Inlet, as viewed from the West End Marina. The bird was feeding 
in the mussel beds with American Oystercatchers, Willet, and Black-bellied 
Plover. The bird was flushed by boaters using the bar and observed headed west. 
It took a little time to relocate the bird with other birders on the incoming 
tide at the extreme west end of the sandbar (the drawbridge was in the 
background).

The previously reported Red-necked Phalarope and Hudsonian Godwit were not 
seen. Shorebirds on the pond included Pectoral, Stllt, and White-rumped 
Sandpipers as well as the regularly occurring species. Small numbers of 
Bobolinks and  Eastern Kingbirds flew by while looking at the shorebirds.

[nysbirds-l] Montezuma Shorebird Walk at Knox-Marcellus+Puddler's Marshes Saturday September 2nd 7 am

2017-08-31 Thread David Nicosia
All,

This coming *Saturday September 2nd at 7 am*, I will be leading another
shorebird
walk on the dikes between Knox-Marcellus Marsh and Puddler's marsh
Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge.

We will meet at the Montezuma Visitor's Center at 7 am and
drive over to East Road and walk down the dikes.  If you want to go directly
to East Road,  be there by 715 am.

Bring binoculars, spotting scope (if you have one) and make sure you wear
sturdy boots,
bring sunscreen, insect repellent, plenty of water, and snacks. The walk
should last until
11 am to noon or so, depending on how much we see.

The weather is looks very good Saturday:  Sunny, high near 70. Southeast
wind 3 to 5 mph.

See you there,
Dave
