[nysbirds-l] Hooded Crow
The Hooded Crow was seen by me on the wires above the roadway at the corner of Hylan Blvd and Heinz Avenue next to Andrew's Diner at 12:45pm today, July 8. I saw it immediately upon pulling up to the diner. It briefly flew over the diner to the next block, then headed back towards the beach. This is the same spot reported yesterday by Allan Michelin (thanks for the tip). It seems the bird may be going back and forth between this spot and the beach where it has been regularly seen. It was showing a forked appearance in its tail, at least on the angle I saw it, with two poor quality iPhone photos to verify if anyone is interested. It possibly lost or is missing some tail feathers, and its tail appears different from other photos of Hooded Crows that I googled. Also out of the ordinary on the way home today was a budgerigar flying eastbound along Southern State Parkway just before exit 32/Rt 110. It was the typical pet store variety, with a green body and yellow head.

[nysbirds-l] Hooded Crow - Yes (8 July 6:00 a.m.)
The Hooded Crow was present today at it's "usual" haunts in Great Kills - Crooke's Point and east down the beach (minimally 6:00 - 6:30 a.m.). It was relatively unharrased by Northern Mockingbirds.

[nysbirds-l] Hooded Crow
When Joe Giunta and I were at Crooke's Point in late June, the Hooded Crow, harassed by a Mockingbird, flew off toward the beach and then across the water before I lost sight of it in the distance. Using "Google Earth" and Alan Michelin's report of yesterday, I now believe it was headed towards the area on Hylan Blvd. that was in his post. So now we have an alternate location to look.

I was asked by a non-subscriber to this list to post this: My wife Carol and I went to Great Kill this morning and we had great looks at the Hooded Crow on the beach near the breakwater from about 7:10 to 7:45 before it flew over toward the point. The bird was foraging along the high tide line and was not bothered by the Mockingbirds.

[nysbirds-l] Hooded Crow & South Shore Inlet Birding
This morning between 7:30 and 8:00, we saw the Hooded Crow on the beach near the jetty at Great Kills Park. It was flushed back to the wooded area near the parking lot three separate times by joggers and mockingbirds. It stayed on the beach for extended periods of time throughout our visit and was still there when we left. In addition, 13 Bonaparte's Gulls continue on the beach. At Jones Beach West End, a 1st Summer Western Willet was seen on the Coast Guard Station sandbar. A 1st Summer Lesser Black-backed Gull was also seen in the West End 2 parking lot. On Fire Island, another 1st Summer Lesser Black-backed Gull was seen in the Field 2 parking lot. This individual was slightly more advanced in its pre-basic molt as compared with the JBWE indivdual (ie., showed a few fresh gray mantle feathers). The Sandwich Tern continued at Mecox Inlet around 1:45 pm. 4 Royal Terns, 3 1st Summer Forsters Terns, and a lingering White-rumped Sandpiper were seen. The Sandwich flew off onto the bay with the Royals around 2:00, but was still seen hunting over the bay when we left at 2:15. At the Hampton Bays Water Tower, we saw 4 Common Ravens. A single Western Willet was feeding on the mussel beds and mudflats in Shinnecock Bay, west of the Ponquogue Bridge. Additionally, I visited Cupsogue in the late afternoon and was able to observe some of the terns and shorebirds seen today; I'm sure other observers will provide details of the species seen earlier in the day. Highlights included 2 Black Terns (a near adult and a 1st Summer) and 1 'Hendersoni' Short-billed Dowitcher, as well as a wide array of interesting shorebirds.

[nysbirds-l] Hooded Crow 6/29 +
Worth a daily mention, in as much as people are still coming from far and wide. I met a gentleman today who had driven from northern Florida. Fortunately, the Hooded Crow was there to be seen. If it hasn't been explicitly stated here, the pattern has become obvious that it's most reliable early in the morning. After making its initial appearance in the parking lot around 7:00, it flew over to the beach around 7:30. It stayed there for some time, and for one span of about 15 minutes it sat still on the high beach (maybe enjoying a peaceful time away from Mockingbirds without having to hide), providing an excellent photo opportunity. I decided after 200 pictures that it was enough and moved on to the next thing of interest. There are 6 unseasonal, immature Bonaparte's Gulls at Crooke's Point. Two of these have partial, grayish hoods. I don't get many chances to photograph Bonys with hoods of any sort, so that was of interest to me. After about 25 minutes of that, I returned to the parking lot. It was at this time that the crow returned to the parking lot area (after nearly an hour and a half on the beach). I, of course, then decided that 200 pictures wasn't enough. I got off another 50 of the crow in a deciduous tree, many with mockingbirds diving or sitting to the side of the crow. I have one other note of some interest, although I wasn't going add to your in box for this alone -- even though the subjects are cute and awesome. Spotted Sandpipers returned to nest at Alley Pond Environmental Center in Queens. I've been seeing one fledgling the last couple of days. Perhaps making this especially noteworthy is that the nesting succeeded with a boardwalk in the process of being built close to where I believe the nest had been.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Hooded Crow continues - 6/26/11 - NOT
Unfortunately, the Hooded Crow did NOT appear for me from 1:30 PM thru 5:00 PM today. (However, I did add 21 species to my Richmond County list.) At least 5 juvenile BONAPARTE'S GULLS were present on the beach and 4 ROYAL TERNS flew by at one point. I found it interesting that a FIELD SPARROW was singing in this habitat as well. John J.

[nysbirds-l] Hooded Crow continues - Staten island Great Kills Park
The Hooded Crow was seen by many this morning in the vicinity of the previously mentioned fisherman's parking lot. Although it flies both east and west of this area, the best strategy is probably to wait in the parking lot, especially near the dead / dying pine tree on the right side, as the bird seems to favor this spot.

[nysbirds-l] Hooded crow-yes
Today we saw the hooded crow around 9am. There were at least a half dozen birders already there when we arrived who had been observing the hooded crow. We watched it land near the bathroom, and then take off to the woods. It had not returned by the time we left at 10am though a diligent search was made of the beaches. A theory proposed was: since the garbage had been collected from the cans and the beaches cleaned, there was little food freely available for the hooded crow to scavenge and hang around. He had been seen perched on the rim of one of cans and peering into it. Did the crow follow some line of reasoning?

[nysbirds-l] Hooded Crow & Common Loon
Yesterday, 6/22, I traveled to Staten Island and saw the Hooded Crow. I guess, because of it's location near the water, I was reminded of another recent, unusual (time-wise) sighting which I neglected to post. On 6/14, I had a C. Loon at Cupsogue, swimming/feeding in the bay between the mainland and the flats. The bird was in 3/4 alternate plumage and appeared to be in good health- I didn't see it fly.

[nysbirds-l] Hooded Crow - YES
Just had the Hooded Crow with a few other birders at 1:30pm in the parking lot at Crookes Point. The bird seems content in the area even amidst the constant flow of mockingbirds harassing it. I even witnessed a Laughing Gull having a problem with it. Conversation with a pair of joggers that frequent the area resulted in them saying the funny looking crow has been in the area for about 2 weeks now. Very obliging bird - allowed great looks.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Hooded Crow - Great Kills Park, Staten Island 6/20
This is a very interesting bird. I too suspected House Crow (also black and silver and much more likely to hang out on ships), but this is indeed a Hooded Crow. It is a yearling (hatched 2010) and appears to be proceeding along the normal American Crow molt schedule (just starting to lose inner primary, secondary, and a number of greater coverts; same as lots of American Crows right now). I do not see any sign of abnormal feather wear. Everything looks like a normal yearling crow. Kevin Kevin J.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Hooded Crow - Great Kills Park, Staten Island 6/20
Wow! The photos clearly show a Hooded Crow (Corvus corone cornix) rather than an Indian House Crow (C. splendens). The latter is a famed ship-rider and has colonized many far-flung seaports in this fashion. I certainly wouldn't automatically presume captive over natural (albeit ship-assisted) origins for Hooded Crow.
