[nysbirds-l] EPCAL, Calverton 6/11

I visited EPCAL in Calverton in hoping to see the resident blue grosbeak. While I struck out with the grosbeak, I had a very pleasant morning at this lovely property, viewing grasshopper and field sparrows, good numbers of pine and prairie warblers, orchard orioles, flycatchers, and a

[nysbirds-l] Arctic Tern at Breezy Point

I met an Australian birder at Jamaica Bay who really wanted to see Piping Plovers so I took him to breezy point. I was expecting it to pour on us so I left my camera and phone in the car. We parked at Tilden and walked a good ways down the beach until we found a large loafing flock. Mixed in

[nysbirds-l] WILSON'S Phalarope at Jamaica Bay East Pond

Re: [nysbirds-l] Arctic Tern at Breezy Point

Hello everyone, To update, thanks for those of you emailed me about the situation at Breezy. I have learned that the Breezy Point Coop won a court battle over 50 years ago, and is under the impression that they are one of the few places in the US where land is owned to the "low tide line" (not the

[nysbirds-l] Correction: WILSON'S Phalarope at Jamaica Bay East Pond

After my earlier post I ran into Dan I. who had what was apparently the same bird at the south end at 7am. He got a much closer pic, which Andrew just helped me ID as a Wilson's. Not sure if it's still around. It had left the overlook while my group was still there, and was not at the south
