[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach Report
A quick walk through Jones Beach turned up highlights of a field sparrow, northern parula, and a just seen winter wren I spotted by the men's bathroom facility. I was observing the bird with another birder when it took off under some cars. Trying to relocate. Mike Z.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach report, 9/12
I took advantage of a day off from work to check out the beach at first light. The winds looked favorable, the radar was busy, and last night at Lido Beach there were almost constantly flight calls of migrants passing overhead. Jones experienced an initially promising, modest flight of birds at sunrise, but the activity was short-lived. By 8:30 many of the passage birds had moved through and there was little to be found on continued sweeps of the area. My previous post described the highlight of the morning, a Dickcissel seen and heard along the fisherman's road near the Coast Guard Station. After being discovered at 6:55, the bird was heard once more around 7:25. Subsequent visits by other birders failed to relocate this individual. Bobolinks were the stars of the show, with 36 tallied passing overhead mostly early in the day. Redstarts and Yellowthroats led the warbler charge, and I found singles of Black-and-white, Magnolia, Palm, Yellow, and Parula. A very drab first-year female Cape May and one Black-throated Blue of each sex rounded out the family, though many other warblers were passing overhead with the dawn flight. Red-breasted Nuthatches continue to dominate the landscape, and catbirds were also conspicuous and numerous. Other expected landbirds were present in small numbers. Around 9:45, I spotted an aerial chase apparently involving several Merlins over the turnaround, but raising my binoculars revealed that one of the three birds was actually a Common Nighthawk which continued west. A brief stop at Hempstead Lake on the way home found it dry and mostly quiet. Ovenbird and Northern Waterthrush were added to the day list, alongside Parula, Redstart, and two more female-type Black-throated Blues. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S31544870 Cheers! -Tim H -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach report (Sandy results)
Jones Beach West End 16 Nov Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) stopped by the Coast Guard Station parking lot, now open for visitors. No bathrooms open. A "Sandy" high water line in the concession stand shows the level about two feet. So there was a pretty strong wash over. The main glass door facing the bay is smashed. Lots of debris. The board walk is ripped loose from the concession stand to the Coast Guard property, most boards and sections tossed and piled in front of the hedge row. The gazebo appears untouched with the usual picnic tables underneath. I suspect the staff had cleaned up a bit. The landscape is changed. The close bar and far bar through which you can access the island at low tide are gone.The island is very much smaller. We were there at high tide, so it remains to be seen how much sand, if any, will be exposed at low tide. The drifting of sand in the area has become a problem. No dredging is now required, but the sand may come back eventually. The medium is OK, but sections of bayberry shrubs have brown leaves while others are still green. Looks like salt water came in. The pines weathered the storm, but obviously are still not healthy. BIRDS. On the island edge were about 200 AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS and 2 GREATER YELLOWLEGS with DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS mixed in.. In the inlet, there were 3 RED-THROATED and 6 COMMON LOONS; 2 LONG-TAILED DUCKS flew by. The best bird was a very late immature COMMON TERN resting on a piling and then flying around.. The median had many RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES, AMERICAN GOLDFINCH and a few other species. Some winter finches flew over (unidentified). Raptors included a COOPER'S HAWK, 2 SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS and a NORTHERN HARRIER. As to be expected the swale is a lake. No birds noticed, but a fair number of fishermen and a group of surfers going out to the ocean .
