Re: [nysbirds-l] Nassau Dovekies

Closer to sunset the Dovekies reappeared at West End Jones Beach one pair in the fishermen parking area and another pair further out in the inlet. That pair was scoped from the dunes.Three razorbills swimming together also appeared in the dune area swimming slowly to the inlet.The dovekies dove a fair amount but we’re clearly visible when floating and resting.  A scope was required to get field marks.Sent from my iPhoneOn Dec 30, 2022, at 1:47 PM, Jennifer Wilson-Pines  wrote:Jones inlet and point lookout channel being seen from end of Fisherman's roadOn Fri, Dec 30, 2022, 1:40 PM Eileen Schwinn  wrote:Found earlier today by Ben B and reported by a small handful of others via eBird, a male Eurasian Wigeon is currently among a small flock of Mallard and Am Wigeon , east side of Long Creek.  Others have reported female as well.  Views with scope from small, cement bridge, Grand Ave, Mattituck.  Head North on Wickham from Sound Ave(route 48) to Grand Ave.

Re: [nysbirds-l] 3 King Eiders, point lookout, Nassau county

[John Mora]

Hi the two sub adult King Eiders remain at Pt Lookout - first jetty to the left 
when coming down from 911 memorial. Three Harlequins there including one drake. 
Two piping plovers & one purple sandpiper at western jetty.  Female King Eider 
was further west two jetties down.

Fair number of adult Common Eider drakes and fewer Long-Tailed ducks. Two red 
throated loons.

Heading home we saw two Osprey at Jones Beach on road on the bay side as we 
headed towards the Wantaugh Parkway.

Thanks Kevin.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Spotted Towhee (February 12)

[John Mora]

Towhee at park at paved path at bend where bird seed is scattered.

Seen twice in half hour period.  Five fox sparrows white throats and two pairs 
of feuding cardinals at the spot.

The paved path is near soccer fields.  We approached it from the main road at a 
stop sign and crosswalk.  Another gentleman parked in the soccer field parking 
lot. More slushy snow to walk through if you park in the soccer field.

Thanks all.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Birdingwatching In the Time of Covid-19.

[John Mora]

We are in Bellmore on Long Island a few miles in from the bay.  This spring We 
had Carolina wrens next in our garage - it was a great month to watch them in 
our yard despite the poop on my lawn mower.  Once they fledged they vacated our 
yard in mid May.  Only heard them sing a couple of times since.

A pair of mallards flew in and landed in our backyard.  They flew off quickly 
when our dog noticed them- we have no water feature in the yard.  It was 
surrealistic.

In April we had turkey vulture fly over.  In May one great egret flew by low.  
We have chimney swifts - three- over our house this past week.

Migrants were rare in our yard this spring- a few pairs of goldfinch, one 
catbird and one male norther oriole.  Heard a myrtle or two.

Our infrequent birding trips have been to Cow Meadow in Freeport where we can 
maintain social distance.  Usual suspects there including yellow warblers, 
glossy ibis, yellow crowned night herons and boat tailed grackles.  We tried 
birding in Tackapausha in Seaford but too many people, most without masks.  

My best.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Black-bellied Whistling Ducks Continue at Cow Meadow (Nassau Co.)

[John Mora]

An hour ago four ducks were on grass sleeping.  Walk on path on the bay side of 
the lake past - east- past the first turn - look to town side - they were near 
edge of grass close to lakeside vegetation.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Calverton Red Crossbill info

[John Mora]

Thank you for excellent directions.

We arrived shortly after twelve - and after walking in on a well maintained 
path - we saw a pair, male and female together, with female collecting nesting 
material and later siting high up in a pine on a half built nest.  Male sat in 
open fairly high up for twenty minutes.

Later two pairs - one male clearly approaching adulthood - were in the open in 
a dead tree with one male calling excitedly.  

Great views, thank you again.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Extralimital Boreal Chickadee in NJ -yes

[John Mora]

Hi - the Jersey boreal chickadee still at visitor center feeder today, coming 
in about every thirty minutes for a peanut.  Pine Siskin and red breasted 
nuthatch also at feeder.

At nearby hawk watch platform at the reservoir’s dam, there was one hen 
Barrow’s goldeneye, many common goldeneye, good number of  northern pintails 
and over 1000 snow geese in flight then settling down.

Worth the long drive despite threatening winter storm.

Re: [nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots: Recent Changes to wikipages

[John Mora]

BTW the golf course has put up "no trespassing" signs on all paths leading to 
the links.  These were not there two weeks ago.

We stayed on pavement near the club house and after ten minutes a waiter came 
out to ask us what we were doing.  We explained we were looking for a rare 
goose and were not going to walk into the links and he did not object to our 
scoping the birds from there.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Barnacle Goose present at St. Charles Cemetery

[John Mora]

Having seen this post we rushed to the cemetery but all geese where gone.

Located pair of common ravens in tree in the Barnacle area.  Revamps called, 
preened flew to a telephone pole and finally flew off towards the Southern 
State.

At the private golf course next to Pinelawn we saw the  Ross goose and the 
immature snow goose next to each other.  This was near the southern pond and 
after 15 minutes these geese joined 40 Canada geese and walked over the 
hillside.

Not many geese at Belmont Lake - no Barnacle.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Townsend's Solitaire YES and Ross Goose

[John Mora]

Good evening.

The Townsend Solitaire was active and visible in the afternoon.  It was alert 
and stood often at top of pines and telephone lines.  We observed it eat a 
juniper berry.  Number of times it defecated indicated a well fed bird.  Good 
news for its likely survival.

The Sound near the Solitaire revealed small rafts of White Winged Scoters, one 
Common Loon and one Red Throated Loon. 

We were at at Belmont Lake State Park at 10:30 AM and the Barnacle Goose was 
not present.  Most Canada geese were gone.  We saw One pair of Common 
Mergansers and 6 Ring Necked ducks.  Coots remain.  

The private golf course near the cemetery had large numbers of grazing Canada 
Geese and one adult Ross Goose.  Pines near links entrance had many Red 
Breasted Nuthatches.  We had three in one glass in the parking lot.  No 
Barnacle, alas, again.

Cheers.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Tundra Swans - Lake Ronkonkoma

[John Mora]

Tundra swans were still on the lake this afternoon.  Flew in to the far side 
near large white building.

This nice find was supplemented by an impressive number of common mergansers. 

We spotted a female hairy woodpecker on a nearby tree as we prepared to leave 
the lake overlook.

Thanks, David.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Goose at Hendrickson Park, Nassau- Red Headed Woodpecker

[John Mora]

Goose was on the far shore opposite from the tennis courts - tame and resting 
and in the water very close to the path.

Woodpecker was active and vocal.  Walk on the tennis court side heading north 
along bike path past bridge.  A number of houses up there is a brighter yellow 
house.  The red headed woodpecker is in that general area.  Bird's head is 
turning red...

We also saw the tamest immature red tail hawk.  It was on the ground with dead 
squirrel in its talons - people jogged five feet from the bird. Who was not at 
all stressed by humans.

Also present of note:  one immature yellow bellied sapsucker, a great blue 
heron and a active belted kingfisher.  Kestrel flew fast through the scattered 
trees then flew past the park and landed on top of the high school dome.

No cackling goose for us today, alas.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ash-throated Flycatcher, Lido Beach Park West

[John Mora]

Flycatcher was still in the same western area mid afternoon.

This bird is very flighty and is often hidden.  Seen twice flying off the park 
inland to two pines beyond red storage hut adjacent to last large gravel 
parking lot.

Northern oriole is still present as well as a flock of house finches and the 
scattered red breasted nuthatches in the pines.

On the beach there were 10 dunlin mixed in with 25 sanderlings. Also seen was a 
tight knit group of a dozen horned grebes performing synchronized swimming and 
diving.  Also present were a large number of red throated loons and fewer 
common loons, often five birds in the glass.  One adult cormorant flew West far 
out likely double crested.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Jones Beach

[John Mora]

My wife and I birdied for two hours at West End commencing at 3 PM. 

Nice sized groups of foraging yellow rumps.  One Blue Headed Vireo.  One Royal 
Tern fly over.  Two easily spooked White Crowned Sparrows along roadside 
heading towards police station.  Only one Red Breasted Nuthatch.  Some picture 
perfect White Throats mixed with on territory Song Sparrows.

One flock of flickers and a steady slow stream of migrating Tree Swallows.  
Male Harrier and one quick darting accipiter.  A few Robins and 3 Red Winged 
Blackbirds in high flight. 

We always appreciate seeing Brandt.  There were about 18 Black Bellied plovers 
and two Oystercatchers.

One Phoebe earlier at Fishing Pier earlier in the day.  Also Ruddy Turnstones 
foraging on the pilings under the Pier.

We saw a perched Merlin atop dead pine near the Pier when heading home.
