Re: [nysbirds-l] Mountain Bluebird - no

I observed the Mountain Bluebird yesterday, 1/02, from about 2:50pm to 4:00pm, with Bob May and several other local birders. The bird was busy working its way down the snow fence, occasionally flying down to the ground, and then returning to a new perch. At 4pm, I was the only birder left and in

[nysbirds-l] Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch, Tuesday, March 6th

The Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch was quite active while I there, from 10:0am to 12:40pm, spending most of its time in the large tree in the yard or on the ground around the feeders or fighting off House Sparrows on the bird bath. It seemed to be in the area most of the time, though there were long

[nysbirds-l] Ruff Update, JBWR, July 4th

When I left the East Pond, Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge at 7:45pm, the Ruff was still feeding on the eastern side at the North End, south of "Dead Man's Cove". You can see a roof through the trees on the east side in this area, and if you moved your eyes all the way down, there was the Ruff! For

[nysbirds-l] Mecox Inlet, 8/18

The cut to the ocean has been opened at Mecox, and at 4:45pm Saturday there was a nice assortment of shorebirds and terns on the exploded mudflats, including 2 Piping Plovers and 11 Black Terns. Another birder told me the Black Terns have been there for several days. The shorebirds were being

[nysbirds-l] Extralimital: Crested Caracara, Mercer County, NJ

Several friends suggested I post this NJ sighting to the NY list. A Crested Caracara was found yesterday afternoon by Vincent Nichnadowicz in a farm field in West Windsor, Mercer County, NJ. I got great views of it this morning, and when I left it was hunkered down in the middle of the field

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park - Connecticut Warbler - and Oakland Lake, 9/17

The CONNECTICUT WARBLER found by Peter Reisfeld Saturday was refound by myself and Ian Resnick this morning,8:00am, at the "Nutmeg Meadow", east of the 76th Ave. parking lot. It put in a brief appearance on one of the small trees in the "meadow" and then went down into the mugwort. There were

[nysbirds-l] Mecox Inlet, 7/19 and 7/20 - Sandwich, Black, Royal Terns

It was great to get back to Mecox Inlet, my first visit of the summer. The sand flats by the bay are fenced off, which appears to be making the Least Terns and Piping Plovers very happy, but which makes scanning for terns and shorebirds a mostly scoping experience. Friday morning, 7/19, notable

[nysbirds-l] Listserv Messages Going to Spam Folder (for some of us)

I've been finding a number of messages from NYSbirds-L and other birding listservs sitting in my spam folder. Other birders have been reporting the same problem. Mostly, it's messages from people with yahoo addresses. Some are addresses which have been hacked, which is what the email browser is

[nysbirds-l] Forest Park (Queens, NY) Additions

I spent several mid-morning hours at Forest Park and went back for an evening hour, probably right after Corey left. There was little activity at the Waterhole (which I am now calling the Water-lake) in the morning other than the Northern Waterthrushes (at least 3) and the Solitary Sandpiper (I

[nysbirds-l] Mecox Inlet (Suffolk County), August 3rd

I spent 2.5 hours birding Mecox Inlet (Suffolk County) this gray, drizzly morning, and, as Hugh said earlier this week, shorebird numbers have increased. I also saw more terns, both in species and numbers than I have all summer: Common, Forster's, Least, and one BLACK TERN. The 11 shorebird

[nysbirds-l] Franklin's Gull--present 5/29 evening

After waiting for 2 hours, with one tantalizing far-off look, the Franklin's Gull put in an extended appearance at the eastern end of Plumb Beach (west side of inlet) from 6:15pm to 7:15pm. Klemens Gasser and I had been been watching the Laughing Gulls gather on the beach for at least 20 minutes
