Re: [cayugabirds-l] Purple Sandpiper continues

2014-10-23 Thread Kenneth V. Rosenberg 
Also for those seeking the Purple Sandpiper at Myers, there was a nice 
assortment of ducks south of the lighthouse (viewed from south side of Marina), 
including 8 SURF SCOTERS, 1 gorgeous male LONG-TAILED DUCK, RING-NECKED, LESSER 
SCAUP, RUDDY DUCK, AM WIGEONs, and 2 female GREEN-WINGED TEAL.

 A juv RED-THROATED LOON was swimming offshore of the spit fairly close, but 
flew north.

The PURPLE PIPER gave incredible views in the early afternoon, almost walking 
across our feet on the north side of the parking area.

Hi All,

The PURPLE SANDPIPER was still present at 6:35 pm, in the same spot that Jay

dark.

Good birding,

If you missed it yesterday, it looks like the PURPLE SANDPIPER will be putting 
on an encore performance today. It is currently foraging on the north side of 
the spit at Myers Point out near the tip.

[cayugabirds-l] MNWR - Wednesday

2014-10-23 Thread tigger64 
Many thousands of ducks/geese in at the Main Pool - both dabblers and divers.  
At least one Eurasian Wigeon continues but I missed the Eared Grebe.  
Shorebirds included both yellowlegs, 2 Stilt Sandpiper, 5 Dunlin, and 2 
White-rumped Sandpiper.  Over at Knox-Marsellus the Avocets continue.  Many 
geese there also plus a few distant shorebirds, presumably yellowlegs.


Some photos at the link below:  Common Gallinule stretching wings, doing 
feather maintenance, scratching.  Also Peregrine Falcon, Harrier, PB Grebe 
diving and standing out of water showing amazing feet, Ruddy Duck diving, lots 
more on the photostream and pending upload.  Away from MNWR there are Wigeon 
flying with Gadwall at Fair Haven, Brant flocks on Lake Ontario, a Caspian Tern 
flying in front of a fire hydrant, a Kingbird (and its shadow) dive-bombing a 
Bald Eagle, etc.
