[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach Long Island West End CUSA update..

[Andrew Baksh]

I am passing on a report from Darlene McNeil who reported the continuing Curlew Sandpiper minutes ago. See her pin here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/9Fky3TWREDMdr8cHA?g_st=icFor those of you thinking of twitching. Please be aware that there has been a situation where some birders were denied entry to West End this morning. Apparently, the person manning the toll booth indicated that a fishing pass was required. A few of us have taken up the charge to get this sorted out. As it was reported that even Empire Pass holders were being denied entry.Darlene, shared that she got around the mess by quickly getting a fishing license - see link - (https://decals.east.licensing.app/ ). Returned to the site with a fishing pole in tow and was able to gain entry. The latest in this sorry state of affairs is that I got NY State Parks to publicly state on Twitter (https://twitter.com/nystateparks/status/1662113576436355072?s=46=yCd8zvCt5vAwEYLwhkC5ww ) that they are looking into the issue and will update me with a status as soon as the LI regional office provides an explanation. Hopefully, it is sorted out in our favor soon.Cheers,“Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves could free our mind.” ~ Bob Marley“Tenderness and Kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution” ~ Khalil Gibran"I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." ~ Frederick Douglass風　Swift as the wind林　Quiet as the forest火　Conquer like the fire山　Steady as the mountainSun Tzu  The Art of War(\__/)(= '.'=)                                            (") _ (")                                     Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device! Andrew Bakshwww.birdingdude.blogspot.com

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach West End Dovekies

[akmirth]

We saw a total of nine Dovekies from the West End jetty at Jones Beach today 
between 2:00 and 2:30. All were flying in the direction from the channel 
towards the ocean or to Point Lookout. Two landed close to the jetty providing 
pretty neat views.

Thank you for your persistence.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach West End now open for bird watching

[Lisa Wollerstein]

I’ve been emailing back and forth with George Gorman, Regional Director of NYS 
Parks, and Jeffrey Mason, Park Director of Jones Beach regarding the confusion 
on whether or not we are permitted to bird at West End. 

West End is now authorized for birdwatching. You must show binoculars at the 
toll booth and stay out of any restricted areas. 

Attached is a copy of his email If you have any issues. 

Happy migration! 

Lisa Wollerstein.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach Gannets, Piping Plovers, etc

[Joseph Wallace]

A ten-minute stationary count just east of Parking Area 6 resulted in a
tally of at least 250 gannets, all flying (singly and in groups up to about
20) east to west with the brisk wind. During a nearly two-hour walk after
this, gannets streamed by the whole time, though in diminishing numbers.
Other sightings included a pair each of Piping Plovers and American
Oystercatchers on the (nearly deserted) beach that heads east from the lot,
and three (late?) Long-tailed Ducks just offshore. --Joe Wallace

Re: [nysbirds-l] Jones beach west end closed

[Steven Schellenger]

The flatten area by the fisherman's road was use of sand for the
construction of the new nature and energy building being built at West End
2. At the present time there are no plans for turbine support building at
Jones Beach State Park.

The sand that was dug out from the site by the coast guard station was used
in construction of the new education center.  I learned that it always was
the intention to remove that sand, but I agree, the parks did a very poor
job at communicating to the public.

There are no plans to run the offshore cable or any support structures
through Jones Beach.  Parks is well aware there would be massive opposition.

They are not using the building for a drive through, they have set up tents
in the lot.  I am sure if you Google search it, you will see what has been
set up.

How? You drive into the parking lot to the test station, get tested leave and 
the parking lot. It’s a drive through like McDonalds or Dairy Barn.

Looks to me like they are building a new sanitary system. No evidence of any 
support base, which I believe is highly unlikely.

Dear Pat Aitken,
  When we were at the Coast Guard Station at Jones West End last Sunday 
March 15, we were surprised to see extensive new grading that cut across the 
gravel road out to the fishing docks. It looked like some sort of construction 
might be about to begin there.
   Does this mean that the proposed support base for offshore wind turbines is 
beginning to be built there, and that visitors are being kept out for that 
reason?
   How could the Nature Center be a "drive through" site for anything - no one 
is driving "through" there to anywhere.
   Are there any fuller sources of information about this?
With no public hearings about anything, what a great time to start major 
construction in a State Park.

Good spot to avoid, as this could be a covid-19 transmission hotspot.

Can't say for certain how long this will go on, but I heard it may be through 
the summer.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Jones beach west end closed

[Bob Grover]

Looks to me like they are building a new sanitary system. No evidence of any 
support base, which I believe is highly unlikely.

Dear Pat Aitken,

might be about to begin there.
   Does this mean that the proposed support base for offshore wind turbines is

   How could the Nature Center be a "drive through" site for anything - no one

   Are there any fuller sources of information about this?
With no public hearings about anything, what a great time to start major

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach Painted Bunting, Dec31 end of year

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) arrived at the Gatsby Playground site as a group 
of birders was leaving. They told us where the PAINTED BUNTING was and we soon 
found it. It fed while we watched, but within the reeds making pictures always 
obscured by branches and stems.  No problem, we’re birders not photographers.

Next stops, field #6, but no Iceland Gull nor a Black-headed Gull at Jones 
Island bar where we stopped. The road leaving the West End #2 lot, overlooked a 
field surrounded on one side by photographers, lots of them.  We looked where 
they were looking and saw the SNOWY OWL that has been hanging out there.  It 
was resting on the ground.  (There is no need to hide its location. The world 
was there all taking pictures).

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach Clay-colored, Blue Grosbeak

[Steve Walter]

There was a Clay-colored Sparrow at Jones Beach today, around the hedgerows
near the Coast Guard station. It sounds like it may have been seen Monday,
as well, but doesn't seem to be seen for long. Fortunately, I took long
range pictures - which, at least, don't take off before the ID can be
verified. I think Ed Becher was one of the previous observers. He was
definitely one of the observers today - being the one that spotted it - of a
young / female type Blue Grosbeak on the south side of the entrance road to
the parking lot.  

 

Birds of note on the sand spit were a juvenile Caspian Tern and its parent,
as well as at least three continuing Marbled Godwits.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach: Marbled Godwits, Gull-billed Tern, Empi

[Steve Walter]

There are now 4 Marbled Godwits in the Jones Beach area. They were embedded
in the large Oystercatcher roost, which this morning was on the outer part
of the sand spit near the Coast Guard station. All left about half way down
on the falling tide.

 

One reason for going there today was to hopefully catch up with the
lingering Gull-billed Tern. As late is it now is for one to be around, I
suspected (and actually had seen a distant photo of it) that it would be in
a plumage that I didn't have. After a previous trip in which I only saw it
as a fly by, I succeeded in getting pictures today. It looks to me to be a
molting adult, not all the way into winter plumage. If I'm wrong, my tern
guru will let me know. I posted a picture at my web site
(http://stevewalternature.com/ ).

 

I also posted pictures of an Empidonax flycatcher (one of the very few
migrants that I came across). Sadly, after many years of birding, I can't
say that I've mastered expertise in these guys (and I don't have an Empi
guru). When I looked at the pictures, I got the impression of a buffy wash
on the belly. But surely, that must be yellow? As in Yellow-bellied
Flycatcher? But it doesn't strike me as that, and it is kind of late.
Acadian? Gotta study up on primary projections.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Jones Beach West End Brown Pelican (Yesterday's)

[Steve Walter]

I guess the Brown Pelican is long gone. All that remain are memories and 
pictures. If anyone is interested, I uploaded a couple of yesterday’s pix to my 
web site (which was in need of an update) -- http://stevewalternature.com/ . 
The pelican did get a lot closer for later visitors. 

 

As noted by Doug F. on another forum, the three Common Loons in the Jones Beach 
boat basin are interesting to look at – different than typically seen around 
here. So I did make a point of photographing them, as I did of the equally 
cooperative Black Scoters and Common Eider. Yea, a typical August day at Jones 
Beach.  

 

Throw in two Royal Terns that flew in and flew out.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach area

[Andrew Block]

After taking a friend to the airport I decided to take a quick look in the 
Jones Beach area for stuff.  Not a lot around.  Had an adult Lesser 
Black-backed Gull, 6 Black Scoters, and 4 Pintails at the coast guard station.  
At Pt. Lookout there were many Red-throated Loons.  Other than that not much 
around.  At Cammans Pond I had 3 Black-crowned Night-Herons, several shovelers, 
and two hoodies.  At Merrick Rd. Park I had a large colony of 10 Monk Parakeet 
nests with more than 25+ birds present at the time.  I had never noticed those 
there before.  I also hadn't realized how much had changed since Sandy in this 
area.  I hadn't been down here since before then.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach area

[Andrew Block]

After taking a friend to the airport I decided to take a quick look in the 
Jones Beach area for stuff.  Not a lot around.  Had an adult Lesser 
Black-backed Gull, 6 Black Scoters, and 4 Pintails at the coast guard station.  
At Pt. Lookout there were many Red-throated Loons.  Other than that not much 
around.  At Cammans Pond I had 3 Black-crowned Night-Herons, several shovelers, 
and two hoodies.  At Merrick Rd. Park I had a large colony of 10 Monk Parakeet 
nests with more than 25+ birds present at the time.  I had never noticed those

[nysbirds-l] Jones beach Coast guard Station

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) viewed the bar and inlet. The bar contained the 3 
gull species, 2 AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS and a few DUNLIN. In the water were all 
three SCOTERS SPECIES, a dozen COMMON EIDER, 75 RED-BREASTED MERGANSER,  2 
BUFFLEHEAD and a HORNED GREBE. Nice to see the winter ducks close to the car on 
a freezing, but lovely morning.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach West End

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta and I (SY Schiff)  flushed a SRARP-SHINNED HAWK as we entered the 
road into the parking lot.  We checked out the bar at the Coast Guard marina on 
a dreary, overcast morning. Lots of birds until a PEREGRINE FALCON made a pass 
and they all flew off. Three MARBLED GODWIT continue. Others included 
BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER, DUNLIN, SANDERLING, 7 RED KNOT and a pair of 3rd or 4th 
year LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS. Lots of DOUBLE-CREASTED CORMORANT but no 
Oystercatchers.

Driving over to West End #2, we walked down to the ocean. On the beach we found 
another pair (or maybe the same ones from the bar) LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS. 
They were disrupted by the same or another PEREGRINE FALCON. It flew by us and 
landed close by on some debris on the upper beach. Great photo op. The water 
was full of BLACK and SURF plus 2 WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS. A steady stream of 
NORTHER GANNETS and gulls moved through from east to west along with numerous 
gulls. The gulls included a few LAUGHING GULLS.

Returning to the car, a group of 3 dozen SNOW BUNTINGS flew over the swale and 
over our heads in the parking lot. Also a pair of NORTHERN HARRIERS  were 
cruising over the dunes.  Nice end to the birding day

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach and Pt; Lookout

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) found the bar at the marina covered with 
shorebirds.  They included AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHER, BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER, 
DUNLIN, several RED KNOT, and  2 RUDDY TURNSTONE.  Several FORSTER’S TERN flew 
over the bar. In the inlet were 3 COMMON EIDER, SURF SCOTER and a RED-THROATED 
LOON.

As we walked down the swale 3 HORNED LARK flew up’  On the beach were 5 
SEMIPALMATED PLOVER and 2 very late PIPING PLOVER. A NORTHERN HARRIER flew over 
the dunes.  The parking lot held 7 LESSER BLACK-BACK GULLS.

At Pt. Lookout we walked through the new memorial and to the beach. There in 
the surf to our left were 2 HARLEQUIN,  another on the west side of the jetty, 
an AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHER on the jetty and a COMMON EIDER  in the water. Breezy 
sunny day for a birthday.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach and Hecksher SP

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta and I(Sy Schiff) started at Jones Beach West End #2 and found the 
LARK SPARROW on the grass at the mid lot exit.   On the east side of the 
building to the south we found the reported VESPER SPARROW. Sparrows were 
abundant this morning along the road edges with WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS in 
greatest numbers. Down on the ocean, the sky was filled with first year HERRING 
GULLS, but little else. Some SCOTERS were flying W to E but well off shore.  On 
the beach was a single LAUGHING GULL plus the usual three and a huge flock of 
DUNLIN. Several HORNED LARKS were feeding in the swale.

We went over to the marina. The bar and most of the island was under water. A 
flock of some 200 AMEERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS took off as we watched and included 
2 MARBLED GODWIT. A pair of ROYAL TERNS were on the breakwater by the Coast 
Guard Station.

A text message alerted Joe and we drove via the Ocean Pkwy to Hecksher to find 
about 25-30 birders looking at the NORTHERN WHEATEAR. We were greeted by a 
round of hellos followed by a quick point to  nearby scopes all set up on the 
bird.  Birders are a great bunch.

[nysbirds-l] Jones beach West End

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) started at the Coast Guard hedgerow looking for 
sparrows. Birds to look at but only WHITE-THROATED, WHITE-CROWNED and SONG. A 
MARBLED GODWIT continues on the bar with a hundred AMEERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS; 
BLACK and SURF SCOTERS are still in the water. 

We drove over to the east exit of West End #2 lot and found the 2 VESPER 
SPARROWS reported. On the beach were 2 LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS. NORTHERN 
GANNETS were plunging into the water, always a great thing to watch.

 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS are everywhere and a steady stream of TREE SWALLOWS 
were moving through. There are a number of NORTHERN FLICKERS in the air and on 
the lawns.

[nysbirds-l] Jones beach West End

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta and I(Sy Schiff) found Ken Feusel at the east end of the Coast Guard 
hedgerow photographing an empidonax  flycatcher. A very interesting bird with 
white throat and semi-tear drop eye ring. ID will be a challenge.
Focus was on the flycatcher, but we managed to see PALM, PINE, MAGNOLIA , 
CHESTNUT-SIDED AND YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS Plus COMMON YELLOWTHROAT. There were 
a lot of birds in the air moving through, but no blackbirds. Some 5-600 TREE 
SWALLOWS were milling about over the median with a steady stream moving through 
along with a number of NORTHERN FLICKERS.
We walked down to the inlet and checked the bar across the inlet. We managed to 
make out oystercatchers, 145 FORSTER’S TERNS and seven (7) MARBLED GODWITS. 
This apparently where the latter feed when they’re not on the bar by the marina.
At the turnaround, it was mostly quiet but we managed some PURPLE FINCHES. 
There was a scattering of hawks moving through all morning.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach and Heckscher SP

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) stopped to view the Shot Beach bar at Jones west 
end on our way east. Five minutes after we arrived a large group of AMERICAN 
OYSTERCATCHERS joined the ones on the bar bringing with them a MARBLED GOTWIT. 
Nice. The good ones usually fly off, not fly in. Other shorebirds included 
BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER,  20 RED KNOT, 2 still bright red, SANDERLING, RUDDY 
TURNSTONE and SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER.  A single COMMON TERN and several 
FORSTER’S TERN plus a GREAT EGRET were present. Some half dozen OSPREY were in 
the West End.

We arrived at Heckscher Field #7 to find a group actively looking and 
photographing a GOLDEN PLOVER and a BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER. Again nice. Other 
shorebirds included 15+ KILLDEER, 1 SEMIPALMADED PLOVER, 2 WHITE-RUMPED 
SANDPIPER and a GREATER YELLOWLEGS. A MERLIN was in the neighborhood harassing 
the STARLING flock.

[nysbirds-l] Jones beach bar and Heckscher SP

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) stopped on the way to Heckscher SP and birded the 
bar at the Jones Beach Marina just before high tide. There were the usual 
Common Terns, American Oystercatchers, Black-bellied Plover, Red Knot, Ruddy 
turnstones and Short-billed Dowitchers. As the tide moved in and covered the 
bar, all shorebirds but the Oystercatchers flew off.

We moved on to Heckscher. The remnant  puddle was about the size of a car. In 
it were 1 Semipalmated Plover, 1 Lesser Yellowlegs, 1 Killdeer and 1 Pectoral 
Sandpiper. The surrounding grass held an additional 8 Killdeer. Very, very hot. 
Birding and photography was done close up from the inside of an airconditioned 
SUV. Very nice way to bird in hot weather.

Back to Jones on the way home. The bar was now partially exposed and in 
addition to the returning earlier shorebirds, there were now some Sanderling 
and Semipalmated Sandpipers. New for yesterday and today was a Western Willet 
and 2 Royal Terns.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach- Short Beach Island

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) birded the bar at the Marina, near high tide. A 
nice group of shorebirds, but few species. The high light was 50+ RED KNOT, 
many still quite red. There were 125 AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS, a dozen RUDDY 
TURNSTONE and three dozen BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER.

After a short trip tp Robert Moses, returned and found somewhat fewer KNOT, but 
the addition of 30 SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER, a SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, some 
SANDERLING and SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER.  There were two SURF SCOTER in the 
water. It’s a start.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach Lark Sparrow

[Eric Zawatski]

Yet another LASP for the barrier beach today, this one just seen in the
median across from West End 2. It was originally foraging alongside the
roadside then flushed up into a tree when I drove by.

[Gail Benson]

The JB West End Ash-throated Flycatcher was being seen on the east bound
side of the parkway east of the eastern exit from parking field 2, up to 5
minutes ago.  Bird was staying low due to the high wind.  (A Mockingbird
chased it into the median brush.)

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach Seawatch

[Timothy Healy]

Very strong gannet flight this morning with upwards of 1000 birds observed. 
There are currently huge feeding flocks to the west, most likely spectacularly 
visible from the Long Beach area. A Parasitic Jaeger flew west past the jetty 
at around 7:35. Sea duck numbers were low, with small flocks of all 3 scooters 
and singles of Common Eider and Long-tailed Duck. 

Cheers!

[nysbirds-l] Jones beach

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Jiunta & I (Sy Schiff) started at the hedgerow by the Coast Guard Station. 
Only 2 Song Sparrows, but a half dozen RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS and a half dozen 
EASTERN PHOEBES.  Just down the road to the Fisherman’s lot, there was a burst 
of activity, mainly of more EASTERN PHOEBES and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS.

Following a report we walked out to the main road and to the west of the 
entrance to the Station, we finally found sparrows: SONG, WHITE-THROATED, 
CLAY-COLORED and LINCOLN’S SPARROWS. A return to the hedgerow an hour later 
finally found sparrows including a SWAMP and WHITE-CROWNED SPRARROW.

The bar was filled with American oystercatchers, DUNLIN, a few SANDERLING, some 
BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER and 2 RED KNOT.  There were no shorebirds in the swale, 
but there were 3 AMERICAN PIPIT.

Raptors included a MERLIN and a RED-TAILED HAEK.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach West End White Crowned Sparrows, warblers (today)

[Tyler Goldstein]

I've been here before sunrise and have seen lots of activity already.  Lots
of warblers including several Blackburnians, Black Throated Greens and
Blues, Bay Breasted, and a Worm Eating. 2 White Crowned Sparrows at the
turnaround.  Also saw a warbler that I couldn't identify.  It looked like a
Black Throated Green but didn't have a black throat (at the Coast Guard
hedgerow). I will try to relocate it and get a photo,  Great day to be out
birding!

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach: Dickcissel, Interesting Nashville Warbler, Migration Notes

[Timothy Healy]

I heard the nocturnal flight calls of several Swainson's Thrushes over my house 
last night, and despite minimal radar activity there were some nice birds at 
Jones Beach. A heard-only Dickcissel that called a few times as it flew 
northwest past the start of the fisherman's road was the "rarest" bird I saw, 
but there was an enjoyable spread of other species. Large flights of flickers 
continue, with plenty of raptors working the vegetation edge. Phoebes are 
moving through in some numbers, and the increased high tide ended up chasing 
most of the 100+ Red Knots and 350+ oystercatchers off the flooded spit. 10 
species of warblers were highlighted by a nice bright Blackburnian and a 
Nashville Warbler whose greener lower back, prominent white vent, and longish, 
constantly pumping tail gave me pause. I'd like people with more expertise to 
review my photos, but I wonder if this was an individual of the 
Western/"Calaveras" subspecies that was proposed for a split this year. The 
motion failed by one vote, if I recall correctly, so this could be a pair to 
watch for in the future. The bird was observed in the brush north of the hill 
next to the Coast Guard fence, just before the shoreline. I know Bob Anderson 
also got some shots, which are most assuredly better than mine. Mosquitos 
remain especially ferocious. Spray up.

Cheers!
-Tim H

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach terns

[Robert Taylor]

During most of the day, a group of terns has been feeding on the ocean or
resting on the beach at Field 6.  Mostly Forster's with 7 Black Terns and a
banded Royal Tern.  The middle of the beach is covered by water but is
allowing for close views of the terns from the parking lot.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach West End (this morning)

[Tyler Goldstein]

Lots of Red Knots (76 exact count), Oystercatchers, Sanderlings, and a
couple of Short Billed Dowitchers on the "Coast Guard" sand bar.  The west
end area was devoid of songbirds except for one spot that had a handful of
Cape May Warblers, lots of female Redstarts and some Pewees.  I also saw
some Merlin and a Kestrel in the median.
