Hello all,
Joined the Queens County bird club at Point lookout today with leader John Collins (THANKS JOHN!!!). We had common eider, blank and white-winged scoter, horned grebe and more usual suspects. We had purple sandpipers, none of them landed by us, only fly bys. Also most of the group had a swift look at a razorbill, but I missed that one, darn!! It was right at the last jetty on the beach. No harlequins. Jones beach yielded Horned larks and goldfinches feeding on pine seeds. Otherwise quiet around lunch time. After that I went solo and decided to explore Jamaica Bay in search of the Yellow-Breasted Chat reported on Ebird on Thursday. I got yellow rumped warbler a bufflehead female on the west pond carolina wren grey catbird a cedar waxwing hairy woodpecker and yellow-breasted chat in the South Garden just as I had given up on it. A nice life bird which I missed last year. http://www.flickr.com/photos/14667149@N00/8352229650/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/14667149@N00/8351165565/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/14667149@N00/8352228658/ -- 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/[email protected]/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/ --
