[nysbirds-l] Sayre Park, Bridgehampton: winter refuge

[Bruce Horwith]

This little park always seems to retain catbirds and towhees for some
reason. Today, it held 3 and 1 respectively. The pond had a dozen ruddy
ducks, and half that number of hooded mergansers.

[nysbirds-l] Montauk shearwaters

[Bruce Horwith]

While fishing in the ocean a few miles south of Napeague, we encountered
close to a thousand shearwaters working the bait-filled water. Most were
great shearwater, but there were 50 or more Cory's and a few Wilson's
storm-petrels, as well as the expected terns and gulls. The biggest treat
may have been the whales (pretty sure one was a humpback and one a fin),
which hung out with us for several hours.

[nysbirds-l] gannet spectacle returns to East End

[Bruce Horwith]

The gannets have returned, 1000+, to Gardiner's Bay, and surrounding
waters. It's such a treat to watch them dive bombing and cruising these
waters for the few short weeks before they leave, presumably north to
breed. A few years ago I was fortunate enough to witness a humpback breach
in the shallow waters just east of Cartwright Shoals (south of Gardiner's
Island) during the gannet frenzy.

Along with returning osprey in Accabonac Harbor, there were several great
egrets and a greater yellowlegs.

[nysbirds-l] East Hampton waterfowl

[Bruce Horwith]

The Canada geese are back in large numbers (300+) at Hook Pond, but none of
the uncommon geese species present. There was 1 individual that was
completely dirty white except for its head which was classic Canada. A few
mute swans, but no tundras, nor the trumpeter which has stayed put in
Montauk. About a dozen red-breasted mergs and same number of hooded, with 2
commons present. A few mallard, black duck and 2 gadwall.

I checked the jetty for purple sandpiper, but none there, so still haven't
seen any this fall season yet.

[nysbirds-l] Georgica Pond and vicinity: East Hampton

19 greater yellowlegs at the end of Georgica Cove (where Cove Hollow Rd
ends), and lots of waterfowl at Lily Pond: dozens of Canadas and mallards,
several ring-necked ducks, a few bufflehead, green-winged teal and a pair
of pin-tailed ducks.

[nysbirds-l] royal terns at Georgica Pond, East Hampton

[Bruce Horwith]

The Trustees just opened Georgica Pond, which usually makes for good
birding (and fishing) for a few weeks. I went there this morning and was
rewarded with 17 royal terns. Also present, were 30+ laughing gulls and a
few lesser black-backed gulls. No interesting shorebirds.

[nysbirds-l] woodcock at Poxabogue Pond, Southampton

[Bruce Horwith]

It was wonderful to be rewarded with the sights and sounds of woodcock last
night on my annual March trip to Poxabogue Pond. Although the birding was
slow during the hour leading up to their display that started around 7:15,
the other highlights were a bald eagle, and FOS osprey and great egret on
Little Poxabogue Pond.
And can't forget (or ignore) the peepers -- at times it was blissfully
deafening!

[nysbirds-l] Short-eared owls at Shawangunk Grasslands NWR

[Bruce Horwith]

This small (less than 600 acres) grassland is an oasis in our
grassland-depauperate NYS, and always rewards visitors with some cool
birds. Having been reminded in a recent post of this being a magnet for
short-eared owls for a few weeks during their migration, we stopped there
Saturday afternoon enroute to see friends and family in the Albany area.

Arriving late afternoon, we watched the dozen or so harriers that frequent
this spot. I was struck by the roughly 50:50 male:female ratio encountered,
because it seems to me that on LI females typically far outnumber the
males. No rough-legs, but several red-tails and 2 bald eagles. A small
flock of 5 or 6 bluebird showed, and close to 2 dozen meadowlark.

At dusk, on cue, the owls started appearing, hunting, interacting with one
another and occasionally with a harrier.  Beautiful to watch. According to
a Park Ranger, he thought that they might not be around much longer,
especially with the warmer temperatures. In fact, I saw 3 leave the
reserve, climbing fairly high before I lost sight of them,
whether migrating or just seeking neighboring grasslands to forage, I don't
know.

[nysbirds-l] East Hampton: orange-crowned warbler; pink-footed goose; snow geese

[Bruce Horwith]

The day started nicely with a small mixed flock of robins and cedar
waxwings in my yard. Decided to check Hook Pond for rare geese and tundra
swan, and though dipping on them, I was rewarded with an orange-crowned
warbler south of Hook Pond in some bayberry shrubs. At Wainscott Pond,
there were thousands of canada geese, 2 adult snow geese and at least 1
juvenile; a blue morph snow goose, and a pink-footed goose. I only got a
poor view that showed some pink on the bill and leg, but not as clearly as
I have seen it in the past (or wanted on this one), and brownish rather
than blackish tone to the neck and head. Kudos to Anthony Collerton who was
confident on the i.d. from some pics I sent him -- based on the brown
coloring and structure of the bill.

If anyone tries for the Wainscott birds (unsucessfully), you may also want
to try west on Daniel's Lane, where some of the Wainscott flock relocated
later in the day.

[nysbirds-l] East Hampton. purple sandpipers

[Bruce Horwith]

Slow early morning of fishing but compensated by a group of 8 purple
sandpipers on the first jetty east of the Georgica Pond connection to the
ocean. These are regular winter visitors here, but it may be the first time
I've had the pleasure of seeing them in 50+ degree weather.

[nysbirds-l] Caspian tern at Mecox

[Bruce Horwith]

There was a single caspian tern, but no royals, at Mecox yesterday. Mecox
is very full and it looked like it would be opened later that day or very
soon after. Only other birds of interest were the half dozen lesser
black-backed gulls there, and another similar number on the beach near
Georgica.

[nysbirds-l] Georgica Cove, East Hampton snipe ...

[Bruce Horwith]

Failed to find the marsh wren reported yesterday from Georgica Cove, but
there were 4 snipe, 2 killdeer, 1 pipit and 2 tailless song sparrows. Any
theories on that? There is a coopers hanging out in the area, but I'm
guessing it would have to be pretty inept to have chased 2 song sparrows
with nothing more than 2 tails to show for it.

An hour later in Bridgehampton Commons, I had my first fish crow of the
season.

[nysbirds-l] Sagg Pond: lapland longspur and other goodies

[Bruce Horwith]

The lapland longspur found by Team Feustel remains at the last field on the
west before the parking lot. It's part of a flock of 50+ horned lark, which
also includes at least 1 snow bunting and closer to the road are other
sparrows, including field sparrow. While I was watching, a male northern
harrier cruised thru scaring up the flock (which returned) and then briefly
engaging with a peregrine which had been silently hiding during the half
hour I had been searching through the horned lark flock.

[nysbirds-l] East Hampton Bald eagles return to Accabonac Harbor nest

[Bruce Horwith]

I took a short trip out to the end of Gerard Drive to check that area after
the storm. It was nice to see a pair of bald eagles on a nest (usurped from
osprey 2 years ago; retaken by osprey last year). In addition, there were a
half dozen dunlin, a few sanderling and ruddy turnstones and 1 purple
sandpiper. A large flock of robins included 4 cedar waxwing and a few
yellow-rumps.
Unfortunately, I also encountered a beached gray seal, which appeared to
have some blood on its chest. I called NY Marine Rescue Center, who said
they would check it out.

[nysbirds-l] Hither Hills. East Hampton. Phoebe and whale

[Bruce Horwith]

We went for a hike through Hither Hills State Park, and the only bird of
note was a phoebe. But upon reaching the trail end at Gardiner's Bay, we
were treated to the sight of a whale, presumably a humpback, breaching a
few times before disappearing. We could see about 10' of an estimated 30'
length, completely out of the water. Nice way to recharge the psyche in
troubling times.

After missing it last Thursday, I visited SoFo again today and the

[nysbirds-l] Townsend's Solitaire. East Hampton

[Bruce Horwith]

There is a path off 3 Mile Harbor Drive (which is off Hands Creek Rd),
halfway between Harvest Lane and Monument Lane. The bird was by itself, no
robins or other birds present, as it gave good views perched on top of
trees on either side of the road. Clear white eyering and buffy patches on
wings. I took some photos that I hope to post, once I figure out how to
upload them from the camera I borrowed.

[nysbirds-l] Greater white-fronted goose. Hook Pond, East Hampton

[Bruce Horwith]

I checked out Hook Pond, looking for tundra swan, where it shows up pretty
reliably each year. No swans, but 1 greater white-fronted goose among
several hundred Canada. It had a pinkish-gray bill, no orange evident. Also
present, 1 grey ghost, 1 bald eagle (like several other spots on LI, you
can expect to see bald eagle in East Hampton year round now), 8 hooded
grebe, 3 common mergansers, 4 gadwall, several black ducks and a few
mallard.

[nysbirds-l] great shearwaters: Gardiners Bay/Block Island area

[Bruce Horwith]

I fished yesterday behind Gardiners Island (south of the Gull islands)
among hundreds of terns (common, roseate and a few least) and gulls (mostly
herring and great black backed), but there also were several great
shearwater present. This is only the second time in the last 20 years (last
year being the first) that I have seen shearwaters in this area this time
of year. That plus the presence of a seal in July (not sure whether it is a
late stayer or an early arrival), suggest changing conditions in this part
of the world.

oystercatcher, great and snowy egrets, great blue heron, brant, osprey,
northern harrier and kestrel.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park birds and a butterfly

[Bruce Horwith]

Spring "arrivals" from the East End of Long Island include oystercatchers,
tree swallows and osprey -- and the bat which appeared last winter in my
yard about this time, tentatively identified as a northern long-eared bat
by Kevin Jennings of DEC.

(and pretty tune by Jon Dee Graham)

[nysbirds-l] Montauk

[Bruce Horwith]

The Point had the usual suspects: thousands of scoter (all 3 species); lots
of common eider, and several common and red-throated loon, horned grebe,
great cormorant, and 5-6 razorbills. Also, 4 brant, which I don't think
I've ever encountered there.

There were no geese present at Deep Hollow, but I did have the unusual
sighting for this time of year of 1 killdeer -- any thoughts on whether
this is a late straggler or an early arrival?

[nysbirds-l] iceland gulls East End of Long Island

[Bruce Horwith]

I followed up on the Feustel's report of iceland gulls off the west jetty
at Lake Montauk and they were still present as of yesterday afternoon.
There was another iceland gull (first winter) at Accabonac Harbor today,
along with hundreds of long-tailed ducks, and several lesser scaup, common
goldeneye, common loon and red-breasted mergansers. The nearby Pussy's Pond
has 6 hooded mergs present.

[nysbirds-l] East End (East Hampton-Bridgehampton): northern pintail

[Bruce Horwith]

The fields between East Hampton and Bridgehampton (off Montauk Hwy and the
back roads parallel to the highway) contained thousands of geese today.
Several fields contained hundreds and the field to the east of Beach Lane
had close to a thousand). Strangely, there didn't seem to be any snow geese
or other rare species. The Beach Lane field also held a few mallards, black
ducks and 2 northern pintail. There was 1 bonaparte gull (ocean side) and 1
ring-necked pheasant (dune between parking lot and pond).

[nysbirds-l] purple sandpiper. Accabonac Harbor, East Hampton

[Bruce Horwith]

I figured it was cold and miserable enough that I would be rewarded for
putting in some birding time. There was 1 purple sandpiper on the
Gardiner's Bay side of Gerard Drive, along with a dozen dunlin, 1
black-bellied plover, and several sanderling. The bay has lots of
long-tailed ducks, and there were about 10 surf scoter close to shore.
Several red-tails and 1 harrier.

I couldn't find any unusual geese among the hundreds in the field east of
Beach Lane in Wainscot, but there is a flock of some 20 horned lark
present.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Brown Booby - Lake Montauk (Suffolk)

[nysbirds-l] Cory's shearwater; wilson's storm-petrel -- East Hampton

[Bruce Horwith]

Afternoon fishing trip behind Gardiner's Island provided bluefish, fluke
(dinner) and great views of 3 Cory's shearwater and a Wilson's
storm-petrel. The shearwater among dozens of common terns feeding on bait
that was sporadically being busted up by cocktail blues. I'm sure those
birds know what they're doing, but I still have to wonder why more of them
aren't missing legs from marauding blues.

[nysbirds-l] greater shearwaters on the Napeague (East Hampton) beach

[Bruce Horwith]

Today was the first time I've been to the beach since the reports started
about the shearwater deaths. Walking west from the White Sands hotel in
Napeague (East Hampton) I found 6 dead birds within a 1 mile stretch. This
area seems to concentrate ocean debris so 6 dead birds in 1 mile should not
be extrapolated to the 180 plus that would have been expected for East
Hampton's 30 some miles of ocean beach, but still, it's depressing to think
about how widespread this event may have been.

[nysbirds-l] East End report: continuing sandhill crane, and migrant arrivals

[Bruce Horwith]

The sandhill crane first reported on 1/4/17 continues at Wainscott Pond.
Over the past week, there have also been 2 lesser yellowlegs, a few
meadowlark, and at least 9 Wilson's snipe hanging out as a group. At Sagg
Pond, the lesser black-backed gulls first reported by Derek Rogers 4/5/17
continue, and today there was a caspian tern on the sand flats, apart from
the gulls. There was a whimbrel in the flooded field just northeast of the
parking lot reported by Terry Sullivan on 4/8/17. Several migrants at
Shinnecock on 4/5/17 (FOS for me, but in most cases already back in large
numbers), include: boat-tailed grackle, osprey, phoebe, and oystercatcher,
Shinnecock also had common loons and horned grebe in full breeding plumage;
lots of tree swallows at Short Pond, along with a few green-winged and 1
blue-winged teal; and a pair of snowy egret at Accabonac Harbor.

[nysbirds-l] South Fork birds (and bats)

[Bruce Horwith]

The black guillemot and iceland gull continue at Lake Montauk. I didn't
find the black-headed or little gull at Ditch Plains, but there were 3
purple sandpipers in with the sanderlings. But the highlight for me was
seeing a bat, presumably a little brown bat, working the insects over a
small pond in my yard in East Hampton. This was the first time I have seen
one here so active during the day, and by far the earliest bat activity I
have seen out here.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ross's Geese - Short Pond, Water Mill, Suffolk

[Bruce Horwith]

2 Ross' and 4 Snow geese at 9:30 this morning, but they took off shortly
after -- may be in one of the fields south of the pond. And a mature bald
eagle over Montauk Hwy near Bridgehampton Commons. They now seem to be so
common I wonder if they are "report worthy". In any event, I still find
them impressive. Ruddy duck and common mergs on Kellis Pond, just west of
the Commons.

[nysbirds-l] Harlequin duck Shinnecock inlet

[Bruce Horwith]

After unsuccessfully searching for the tufted duck (Swan Lake) and the
pink-footed goose (Elda Lake), we drove back east on Dune Rd, seeing a half
dozen or more northern harriers, and the still-present Harlequin duck at
the inlet. And then we were treated to an immature bald eagle flying over
the Shinnecock Canal.

[nysbirds-l] Sandhill crane, Wainscott Pond; purple sandpipers, Hook Pond

[Bruce Horwith]

There is 1 sandhill crane associated with a large flock of Canada geese
(and 1 snow goose) at Wainscott Pond (East Hampton). The field is private
but the bird can be seen from the road. I had 4 purple sandpipers FOS on
the ocean jetty south of Hook Pond (East Hampton).

[nysbirds-l] few sightings from East End of Long Island

[Bruce Horwith]

While working at Georgica Pond East Hampton yesterday, I saw a few FOS
least terns and a spotted sandpiper. Today in the yard, I had a new
addition, a yellow-billed cuckoo. Other migrants include baltimore oriole,
yellow-rumps, catbirds, hummers and kingbird.

[nysbirds-l] swifts, not swallows. Bridgehampton

[Bruce Horwith]

Apologies. I don't know why I had cliff swallows on the mind, but I meant
to post the sighting of 75-100 swifts over Bridgehampton HS. As I
originally ended that first posting, it would be nice if they used the
swift box that SoFo installed a few years ago -- it would have been even
better and more noteworthy if cliff swallows used them!

[nysbirds-l] cliff swallows: Bridgehampton

[Bruce Horwith]

En route to work on Wednesday morning, I encountered a flock of some 75-100
cliff swallows above the high school. There used to be a colony in
Bridgehampton, but I haven't seen or heard about it for years, so I was
pleased to see this large a group. Not sure where they may settle, but
hoping that they can put the South Fork Museum swift nest box to use.

[nysbirds-l] Accabonac Harbor, East Hampton: tree swallow and osprey return

[Bruce Horwith]

I heard a report of osprey returning to the South Fork last week, but today
was my FOS osprey for Accabonac Harbor, along with same for a lone tree
swallow. No piping plover yet as far as I know. Also seen: a kestrel, a few
cedar waxwing, yellow-rumps, and double-crested cormorants enroute to
Gardiners Island. Returning home I was greeted by an osprey calling over my
house.

[nysbirds-l] bald eagles at Sagg Pond

Adding to the increasing reports on eagles on the South Fork, I had 2

numerous Canada geese, 4 common and a dozen hooded mergs, and a few ruddy
duck.

[nysbirds-l] Dune Rd Hampton Bays to Quogue

[Bruce Horwith]

Took a short trip down Dune Rd to check out birds and to see the aftermath
of the storm surges reported for the area. The former was decent, but not
much unexpected. In terms of the storm damage, the road had been reopened,
but there were clear signs of overwash and badly damaged dunes.

Back to the birds: common eider and a few cormorant at the inlet;
red-breasted and hooded mergs in the bay; a few yellow-rumped warblers and
1 savannah sparrow among many song sparrows and a few white-throated
sparrows along the road. Best birds were the bittern and peregrine falcon.
No snowy owls, but a nice outing, with what is now an obligatory stop at
Tony's Asian Fusion for some great Thai food.

[nysbirds-l] Purple Martin; Sayre's Park; Bridgehampton

[Bruce Horwith]

On a quick stop at Long Pond (in Bridgehampton, not Long Pond in the
Greenbelt south of Sag Harbor), on the way to work, I was rewarded with FOS
purple martins and northern rough-winged swallows among barn and tree
swallows. Lots of yellow warbler singing, which along with the prairie
warbler, blue-gray gnatcatchers and hummingbird reports, mean that spring
migration is well underway on the East End.

[nysbirds-l] Snow geese at Jamaica Bay

[Bruce Horwith]

I salvaged an early morning airport run, with  a quick stop at Jamaica Bay.
But I was surprised by how little was going on. It was great to find about
100 snow geese, and perhaps 5X that number of brant, but very little in the
way of migratory birds: 1 golden-crowned kinglet and about a dozen phoebe,
and a few yellow-rumped wabler. I often see very good bird reports from
this area, and don't know it other than the trails to the west and east
ponds. If anyone has suggestions for other spots, please e-mail me
privately. Thanks. (Another treat was seeing one of the increasing number
of bald eagles on LI, this one around the Manorville exit on Sunrise Hwy).

[nysbirds-l] Riverhead area

[Bruce Horwith]

The 2 barnacle geese first sighted by Caitlin Carlstrom and reported by
Derek Rogers, were with a flock of about 500 Canadas on the north side of
25 just east of Edwards Avenue in Calverton this morning (with 2 TVs
cruising overhead) . A little further west on 25 there's a dirt road into
what appears to be a quarry, and there I found a dozen green-winged teal
(and 1 strange Canada goose with white marks on the crown and hind neck in
addition to the typical cheek areas). Further west at EPCAL, I saw 1 light
morph rough-legged hawk, 3 harriers and a sharpie. On the way back to the
East End, I checked the Peconic River from Evergreen Rd (off 24) where
there were several hundred scaup (mixed lesser and greater), 2 redhead
ducks and about a dozen ring-necked ducks. Ended the trip with a merlin at
the intersection of Montauk Hwy and Sagg Rd. All in all, definitely the
least painful trip to the DMV I've had in years.

[nysbirds-l] Napeague red-shouldered hawk

[Bruce Horwith]

Took a quick trip to Lazy Point to see if there was any open water, since
much of the near shore of Gardiner's Bay has been frozen for about a week.
There was a bit of open water, and the usual assortment of winter ducks
(ruddy, scaup, redhead, surf and white-winged scotor, horned grebe, common
loon, bufflehead, long-tailed, goldeneye, mallard, black duck, red-breasted
merg). The highlight was a red-shouldered hawk on Lazy Point Rd, the first
I've seen in that area. We've also been getting decent numbers of hooded
mergs in Three Mile Harbor and neighboring ponds like Pussy's Pond, which
is not that typical for those spots.

There's a western kingbird in the fields along Cove Hollow Farm Rd in East
Hampton. Seems to be hanging out with a flock of about a half dozen
bluebirds.

[nysbirds-l] glossy ibis: East Hampton

[Bruce Horwith]

I had my FOS glossy ibis (6) this morning in a small wetland near Accabonac
Harbor in East Hampton, where they occur each spring. Presumably these are
the same group.

A female rose-breasted grosbeak showed up at a feeder in Hampton Days
yesterday. Not a rare bird of course, but seems very early.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge

[Bruce Horwith]

American white pelican previously reported still present in East Pond as of
5:00PM today. Dozens of greater yellowlegs, but few other shorebirds.
Yellow-crowned night herons, a little blue heron, and a flyover peregrine
were nice treats. Same for several cloudless sulfur butterflies.

[nysbirds-l] Cartwright shoals

[Bruce Horwith]

Most of the birds that nested on Cartwright Shoals have left, but there are
still some oyster catchers, skimmers, common terns. New, and presumably
temporary, arrivals were a flock of between 75-100 red knots.

Re: [nysbirds-l] South Fork LI: Wilson's Storm-Petrels continue in Block Island Sound

[Bruce Horwith]

Adding to Angus' report, there were hundreds of Wilson's storm-petrels just
a few miles offshore south of Montauk Point. I don't get out to this area
often by boat so I don't know how unusual it might be to see such large
numbers, but it's a first for me.

Fwd: [nysbirds-l] White-faced Ibis in East Hampton

[Bruce Horwith]

As of 8:00 this morning the bird is still there, but it may be foraging
elsewhere as well because it wasn't on the pond earlier that morning
according to 2 birders I met on the trail. I also had a tree sparrow, which
seems to be uncommon here, at least for me, this time of year.

Thus morning Shai Mitra and Pat Lindsay found a White-faced Ibis in Scoy
Pond on the Grace Estate in East Hampton (Suffolk Co.). The bird was still
present when I left it at about 8:50.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary at Quogue Wildlife Refuge

[Bruce Horwith]

Doing well, John, and hope you can say the same. I saw your post from Alley
Pond and it almost made me regret living this far east -- the spring
migrant show out west is so much better. That said, I'm not going to
complain as I fish for my FOS fluke tomorrow off Shelter Island.

I'd love to catch up with you at some point. Let me know when you're headed
east.

Bruce

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary at Quogue Wildlife Refuge

[Bruce Horwith]

Dune Rd west of Ponquogue Bridge was disappointing this morning (no
buntings). Lots of willet and a savannah sparrow. But then we checked
Quogue Wildlife Refuge -- best bird was a prothonotary, but also had
several black and white warblers, pine warblers, yellow-rumps, a
blue-headed vireo, a hermit thrush, 3 northern orioles. Lots of towhees and
a few catbirds.

[nysbirds-l] thorny birds

[Bruce Horwith]

Went to a small preserve on Stony Hill Rd in Amagansett, which can be
decent for spring migrants. Saw my FOS thrasher and a half dozen FOS
towhees. Apparently, Japanese barberry, an invasive weed that has taken
over most of this preserve, is acceptable to those birds.

[nysbirds-l] Shawangunk Grasslands NWR

[Bruce Horwith]

Yesterday, I birded this refuge for the first time and it was well worth
the visit, even though I was too late to pick up some of the wintering
birds such as short-eared owl that commonly occur there.

Best birds were:
10-20 EASTERN MEADOWLARKS
1 EASTERN PHOEBE
1 BLACK VULTURE among 10-20 TVs
a pair of HARRIERS
a pair of BLUEBIRDS
a pair of KESTRELS
1 BARN SWALLOW among dozens of TREE SWALLOWS

For those unfamiliar with the site, be sure to spend most of your time
viewing the refuge from the north from the Town Park located on Long Lane.

Another bonus were the 20+ GREEN-WINGED TEAL seen at 6 1/2 Mile Station
Sanctuary, owned by Orange County Audubon.
