[nysbirds-l] Common Ground Dove update

2010-11-18 Thread Jory Langner
Bill Lee and I will be driving to Captree tomorrow (Friday) to try for the
Ground Dove.  

 

I would imagine that there will be relatively few people searching for the
bird tomorrow.  But if you are, we would appreciate a post or a call if
you've seen it.  We will do the same.

 

Thanks!

[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow - Wilson, NY

2010-11-18 Thread Willie D'Anna and Betsy Potter
Although not very cooperative today (only two of eight visitors saw it), the
Lark Sparrow did show a few times.  A hawk was around this afternoon, which
probably had something to do with its longer absences.  We have not seen a
hawk here in a couple of weeks - bad timing.

Hopefully, the Lark Sparrow will return tomorrow.

Directions
We live at 4777 East Lake Road, Burt, NY 14028.  However, this is not
accurate on Google maps.  So, just use this link:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=4777+East+Lake+Road,+Wilson,+NY+14172=com.
microsoft:en-US=utf8=1=UTF-8==4777+E+Lake+Rd,+Wilson,+NY+1
4172=us=JkvkTIv9KML6lweip9niDg=X=geocode_result=image=
1=0CBQQ8gEwAA
This is in the Town of Wilson (Niagara County) about halfway between the
northern termini of Rt 425 and Rt 78 (roughly three miles from either).
There is a common driveway on the north side of Rt 18 (Lake Road) that leads
to several homes, including ours.  Look for a hanging sign in front of an
area of woods and brush with our number on it (4777), on the west side of
the driveway.  There is a wooden stockade fence to the east of the driveway.
After turning into the common driveway, make the first or second left into
our driveway.  Please park so that you allow at least one way in and out.  
Good birding!
Willie and Betsy

[nysbirds-l] Fork-tailed Flycatcher in Stamford CT

Oddly, this hasn't made it onto the NYSBIRDS list yet, but yesterday a very
handsome FORK-TAILED FLYCATCHER was found (I believe by Tina Green) at the
Cove island Sanctuary in Stamford, Connecticut. It was still being seen as
of 2:35 this afternoon. For directions and updates please visit the CT

[nysbirds-l] Linnaean program

2010-11-18 Thread Alice Deutsch

 

  THE LINNAEAN SOCIETY OF NEW YORK SPEAKERS PROGRAM
  Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2010, 7:30 p.m.
  The American Museum of Natural History, Linder Theater
  
  Speaker: Michael Fry, Director of Conservation Advocacy, American Bird 
  Conservancy
  
  Subject: Wildlife Consequences of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
  
  The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill was by far the largest oil spill in US 
  history, releasing an estimated 200 million gallons of oil, nearly 20 times 
  the size of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. The federally coordinated 
  containment and cleanup effort received much undeserved negative publicity 
  even though the response was coordinated and supplies deployed quickly. 
  
  Ultimately, it required almost 100 days to shut off the flow of oil from 
  the damaged well head at 5000 feet of water. The cleanup and damage 
  assessment will require years to complete. The spill oiled about 1000 miles 
  of shoreline, much of it only with tar-balls or sheen. And 8100 birds, 1144 
  turtles, and 109 marine mammals were recovered dead or oiled. 
  
  Many comparisons can be made with the Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), where 
  35,000 dead birds and about 1000 sea otters were recovered. The EVOS oiled 
  1300 miles of shoreline, with 200 miles heavily impacted. The best 
  estimates of oiled wildlife were 250,000 birds, 2,800 sea otters, and 300 
  harbor seals. 
  
  The differences between the two disasters will be dissected and compared as 
  legislators and regulators contemplate how to minimize and manage future 
  disaster responses. 
  
  Michael Fry received his Ph.D. from the University of California-Davis. He 
  is an avian toxicologist with expertise in the effects of pollutants and 
  pesticides on ecosystems, with a focus on wild birds. He was a research 
  physiologist at UC Davis for 23 years and joined American Bird Conservancy 
  in 2005. Dr. Fry has been a panel member for the National Academy of 
  Sciences on hormone active chemicals in the environment and has

  Scientific Committee of the Dept. of Interior, Minerals Management Service 
  Advisory Board, and a federal advisory committee member for the EPA 
  pesticide program.
  
  The meeting is open to the public, without charge. Please join us for what 
  promises to be a very exciting talk. Enter the Museum at West 77th Street. 
  If you would like to meet Dr. Fry prior to the talk, join us at 
  Pappardella's Restaurant, 75th Street and Columbus Avenue at 6 p.m. The 
  reservation will be in the name of Alice.

Although not very cooperative today (only two of eight visitors saw it), the
Lark Sparrow did show a few times.  A hawk was around this afternoon, which
probably had something to do with its longer absences.  We have not seen a
hawk here in a couple of weeks - bad timing.

Hopefully, the Lark Sparrow will return tomorrow.

Directions
We live at 4777 East Lake Road, Burt, NY 14028.  However, this is not
accurate on Google maps.  So, just use this link:

This is in the Town of Wilson (Niagara County) about halfway between the
northern termini of Rt 425 and Rt 78 (roughly three miles from either).
There is a common driveway on the north side of Rt 18 (Lake Road) that leads
to several homes, including ours.  Look for a hanging sign in front of an
area of woods and brush with our number on it (4777), on the west side of
the driveway.  There is a wooden stockade fence to the east of the driveway.
After turning into the common driveway, make the first or second left into
our driveway.  Please park so that you allow at least one way in and out.  
Good birding!
Willie and Betsy

[nysbirds-l] Common Ground Dove update

2010-11-18 Thread Jory Langner
Bill Lee and I will be driving to Captree tomorrow (Friday) to try for the
Ground Dove.  

 

I would imagine that there will be relatively few people searching for the
bird tomorrow.  But if you are, we would appreciate a post or a call if
you've seen it.  We will do the same.

 

Thanks!
