[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival

[Lloyd Spitalnik]

Hi Everyone,
Contrary to Sy Schiff's speculation that the shore bird festival might be
cancelled, I can assure you that is going to take place on August 26th as
scheduled.
I took a walk on the north end of the East Pond this afternoon with Tom
Burke and we had no problem walking up to "Dead Man's Cove".
Earlier in the morning Tom walked the south end and was able to make it to
the Raunt and points further north.
Rubber boots are a must at this point but the water was no higher than my
ankles.
Tom and I were there at low tide so quantity of birds were low but we did
have 4 Stilt Sandpipers, 4 Short-billed Dowtichers, several Semipalmated
and Least Sandpipers, 2 Spotted Sandpipers, an adult Little Blue Heron,
several Northern Waterthrush, a Black Skimmer and Osprey flying overhead.
I'm sure I'm leaving somethings out but you get the idea.
Don Riepe, Kevin Karlson, Tom Burke and Gail Benson, and I are all looking
forward to seeing you at the festival.
For more info  on the festival's schedule you can go to the NYC Audubon's
website.
If you have any questions, write to me and I'll send you a reply.

Hi Andrew:
If you don't mind, I am going to print a screenshot of your email in the QCBC 
newsletter as an update about the West Pond.
Thank you.
Lisa

    Some photos from yesterday's Shorebird Festival can be seen here 
I should add that during yesterday's presentation, I learned that the 
superintendent of Gateway, Jennifer Nersesian, announced that the breach to the 
West Pond will be closed. That is the text message I received while I was at 
the north end of the East Pond with a small group who stayed with me.  While 
there is no timeline or details associated with her announcement, it has to be 
seen as a positive development that we at least have on RECORD, someone from 
National Park Service committing to closing the breach.
l want to also add that I am grateful that Lloyd, Don and Kevin continue to 
organize this event which is so much needed at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. I 
hope they continue to do so for many years to come. If you missed the event 
yesterday, think about attending next year. The usage of places like the refuge 
for wildlife observation is very key to how decisions are made in maintaining 
and enhancing existing wildlife habitats.
Cheers,

We had a fabulous day with approx. 170 people attending throughout the day. I 
want to thank Tom Burke, Gail Benson, Doug Gochfeld and Andrew Baksh for their 
invaluable help as field leaders. They were really great.Although the quantity 
of birds wasn't there we did have many Stilt Sandpipers and Western Sandpipers 
up very close. There were a couple of Black Terns and one Gull-billed Tern. Of 
course there were Semipalmated Sandpipers and Plovers along with White-rumped 
Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper, Short-billed Dowitcher and both 
Yellowlegs. Earlier in the morning Andrew (Birding Dude) Baksh saw a Baird's 
which we couldn't relocate.We finished the day with a presentation given by 
Kevin Karlson. He gave a very entertaining and informative look at his new book 
"Birding by Impression"  part of the Peterson series.I want to publicly than 
the hard working people of Gateway National Recreation Area especially Jen 
Nersesian. Also NYC Audubon and the American Littoral Society for sponsoring 
the event.

Hi Andrew:
If you don't mind, I am going to print a screenshot of your email in the QCBC 
newsletter as an update about the West Pond.
Thank you.

I should add that during yesterday's presentation, I learned that the

West Pond will be closed. That is the text message I received while I was at 
the north end of the East Pond with a small group who stayed with me.  While 
there is no timeline or details associated with her announcement, it has to be 
seen as a positive development that we at least have on RECORD, someone from 
National Park Service committing to closing the breach.
l want to also add that I am grateful that Lloyd, Don and Kevin continue to 
organize this event which is so much needed at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. I 
hope they continue to do so for many years to come. If you missed the event 
yesterday, think about attending next year. The usage of places like the refuge 
for wildlife observation is very key to how decisions are made in maintaining 
and enhancing existing wildlife habitats.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival

[Lloyd Spitalnik]

10th Annual Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival

Come join us this Saturday August 29th for the Jamaica Bay Shorebird
Festival sponsored by NYC Audubon, Gateway National Recreation Area,
 American Littoral Society and your hosts Don Riepe, Kevin Karlson and
Lloyd Spitalnik.

We’ll meet at the visitor’s center located in Broad Channel, Queens, NY at
7:30am.

There will be coffee and snacks before we start the festivities.

At about 8am there will be a field trip to the East Pond where you’ll be
able to learn about these long distance migrants as they make  their return
trip  from the breeding grounds up north. We should see Least Sandpiper,
Semipalmated Sandpiper, Semipalmated Plover, Black-bellied Plover, Lesser
and Greater Yellowlegs and Short-billed Dowitcher. Other species are
usually there as well. We’ll probably have a few surprise visitors.

After the walk we’ll have a few indoor presentations. An hour break for
lunch and then another guided walk. Stay for the final presentation given
by Kevin Karlson. He is a co-author of the Shorebird Guide. It’s the best
guide book for identifying these challenging critters. His talk will be on
his new book “Birding by Impression.

Although the event is free we urge you to contribute a nominal $20.00 to
help defray the costs for putting on the festival.

You should wear a pair of boots or old shoes you don’t care about getting
dirty. Bring binoculars and a spotting scope if you have them. A camera
with a 300mm or larger lens is optional.

Hope to see you there.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival

[Lloyd Spitalnik]

Hi again,
A few things to clarify.

1. There is no limit to the amount of people who can attend. There was a
typo saying "limited to 35. We usually get more than 100 people at the
festival.

2. For the East Pond walk "sensible shoes" would be boots as there are
definitely muddy and shallow water areas you'll have to get through.

3. Unfortunately we'll not be able to walk all the way around the West
Pond. Since superstorm Sandy there is a wide breach of about 50'. We can
only walk out to about where bench 6 is. We can go the other way and check
out the gardens for early migrants.

4. Lastly, please sign the petition to restore the West Pond. Every
signature counts.
Here is the link

In my last post I abbreviated one of the sponsors as Gateway NRA. So
there's no confusion NRA in this case is National Recreation Area. It
certainly has nothing to do with the National Rifle Association.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival

[Lloyd Spitalnik]

In my last post I abbreviated one of the sponsors as Gateway NRA. So
there's no confusion NRA in this case is National Recreation Area. It
certainly has nothing to do with the National Rifle Association.
