[nysbirds-l] Photos of Yesterdays Terns

[Luke Ormand]

I put up a blog post with photos of the Black Terns and Royal Terns I found
yesterday in Hampton Bays along the shores of the Peconic Bay and the
Shinnecock Inlet.  I had a photo of a Sandwhich Tern but seemed to have
"misplaced it".  For those interested:

RE: [nysbirds-l] Monday Birding - Jones Beach area and Floyd Bennett Field

[Steve Walter]

The Point Lookout Sandwich Tern has been added to my storm page from
yesterday http://www.hmana.org/steve/Aug28.htm , along with something
completely different. Should I thank the park people for kicking us out of
Jones Beach and making this picture possible? I guess there was some good
reason for keeping the parks closed on this beautiful summer day. There must
still be some hazards. I think the UV index was kind of high today.

 

Additional site note: Lido Beach Nature Preserve had 4 Black Terns and a
passing by Merlin.

Field

 

The birding today was certainly not as exciting as yesterday in Irene's
wake, but all in all it was a very good day.  I birded with Andrew Baksh and
we were joined by many others.  There was a modest flight of diurnal
landbird migrants along the barrier beach.  The highlights included

 

3 Sandwich Terns.  Two of these were at Jones Beach West End and another on
the beach at Pt. Lookout.

8 Royal Terns.  Scattered singles at various locations.

20+ Black Terns at various locations.

3 Lesser Black-backed Gulls on the beach at West End.

13 Pectoral Sandpipers at Pt. Lookout in a pool on the lawn near Lido Blvd.

1 Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Floyd Bennett Field near the pools at the
northwest corner of the runways.

1 juvenile Western Sandpiper (same location)

1 Monk Parakeet at Gilgo.  My first ever on the barrier beach.

4 Purple Martins.  2 at West End and 2 at Gilgo.

5 Bank Swallows at various locations.

35 Eastern Kingbirds, migrating in several flocks of roughly 7-10 birds.

Other swallows, Bobolinks, Red-winged Blackbirds and Cedar Waxwings were
prominent in the landbird flight

 

Mary Normandia and others reported a Whimbrel and a Marbled Godwit in the
swale at West End.  The mosquitoes were bad at all the barrier beach
locations, but at West End they can best be described as a ravenous cloud.

[nysbirds-l] White-tailed Tropicbird - Rensselaer County NY

[Jesse Jaycox]

August 29, 2011 - A friend just called to report that she found a "tern" on the 
side of Presbyterian Hill Road in Stephentown, NY. I asked for a picture and it 
turns out that it's a White-tailed Tropicbird. She's trying to find a wildlife 
rehabilitator to take it, but not having any luck right now. Does anyone have 
any suggestions for that area?

[nysbirds-l] East End Birding (Suffolk Co.)

[ken feustel]

We decided to head out east early this morning, in hopes of finding some of the 
previously reported Hurricane Irene birds. Our previous experiences with day 
old hurricane strays did not bode well:  the vast majority of these birds seem 
to leave as soon as the storm abates. The one exception to this rule seems to 
be Sandwich Tern, which we have seen a few days after a hurricane. Such was the 
case today, when arriving at Mecox Inlet our first bird was a Sandwich Tern, 
sitting on a pole in Mecox Bay. We eventually observed five more at the cut, as 
well as Black Tern (16), Caspian Tern (2), Royal Tern (5)., as well as Common, 
Forster's and Least Terns. At Sagaponack Pond we did not see much except for a 
flyby Whimbrel and three Black Terns. The road to Hook Pond was closed on the 
west  side so we drove over to the east side and walked west down the beach 
from the parking lot south of the Maidstone Club  - the pond was empty. We 
decided to try the west side of Napeague Harbor, where we were able to bird for 
a half hour before the Town of East Hampton kicked us out (no permit). We 
picked up an additional Sandwich Tern, as well as Roseate Tern (1). We had 
called ahead and knew that Montauk Point State Park was closed, and traffic was 
starting to get heavy, so we packed it in. The day was pretty much what we 
expected, but you never know! I Other birders were out east today and they may 
have seen some additional species.

[nysbirds-l] late report sootys bridled terns shorham sod fields

[DanoR4]

Finaly got power back on to post this report. Yesterday i was able to  get 
to the shoreham sod fields around 11 30.Immediatly i spotted a large group  
of birds hunkered down in a flooded section of the field.Holding the window  
scope still in the open field was tough but in the next 15 minutes or so 
with  the help of a call to S.M. i was able to identify up to 5 bridled and 5 
sooty  terns.Numerous other terns and dozens of shorebirds were winging all 
over the  place unfortunatly i wasn't able to identify but by there size and 
bill color  were possible caspiens.Later my wife, Bob May and Joel Hormon 
returned and were  able to still see 3bridled and 3 sootys before a perigrine 
scattered the  birds.The terns never returned.This morning only the usual 
suspects plus 5 tvs  drying there wings on the ground and a red fox that ran 
across the sod  fields.Dan Heglund   Rocky point

[nysbirds-l] NE shore of Lake Erie

[WilliamWatsonSr]

On  Sunday, August 28th, eight well seasoned BOS birders met at 7:00 am  at 
the Vermont and Busti staging area for the annual Buffalo Ornithological  
Society August Field Trip for Shorebirds and Early Warblers. After crossing  
the Peace Bridge, our more than competent leader, Doug Happ led us to Jager  
Rocks at the source of the Niagara River in Fort Erie. Although Hurricane 
Irene  did not blow in any jagers, we did see an Osprey, a Great Black-back 
Gull, an  American Black Duck, and eight Caspian Terns. Going west on Highway 
3 from Fort  Erie we turned south on Golf Course Road to Morgan’s Point.  
Doug found us three Sanderlings along  the shoreline of Lake Erie.  In the  
bushes we found Black-and white Warbler, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Magnolia  
Warbler, Yellow Warbler, and Canada Warbler.  
Proceeding  westward along the lake we reached Rock Point Provincial Park. 
There we enjoyed  studying five Semipalmated Plovers, about 15 Semipalmated 
Sandpipers, three  Least Sandpipers, a Western Sandpiper, and a White-rumped 
 Sandpiper until a Peregrine Falcon swooped over the shoreline chasing  
every single shorebird and a Double-crested Cormorant, for good measure. On  
Mohawk Island we could see about 400 fastidious Double-crested Cormorants and 
a  cloud of at least 2,000 Common Terns. There were two good pockets of 
warbler in  the vegetation seeking shelter from the strong north winds and were 
able to  observe Palm Warbler, three Blackburnian Warblers, three American 
Redstarts,  three Black-throated Green Warblers, two Cape May Warblers, 
Bay-breasted  Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, two 
Nashville Warbler,  two Chestnut-sided Warblers, Pine Warbler, and Magnolia 
Warbler. We also  encountered four Red-eyed Vireos, Philadelphia Vireo, 
Blue-gray  
Gnatcatcher, Carolina Wren, and an Olive-sided Flycatcher. 
Doug  then guided us two kilometers north to the Mosaic ponds and showed us 
Hooded  Merganser, four Green-winged Teal, Greater Yellowlegs, Semipalmated 
Plovers, and  seven unmarked Great Egrets. Traveling were seven kilometers 
on Canal Bank Road  we turned north for a kilometer on Hutchinson Road to 
Poth Road where we 57  Killdeer, nine Black-bellied Plovers, and the Whimbrel. 
For the day we  tallied 72 species including eleven shorebird species and 
fifteen warbler  species.
 
I  hope some non-member birders join us next year.
 
Best  Wishes for Great Birding

Re: [nysbirds-l] More on the Black-necked Stilt

[Robert Lewis]

I looked for the Black-necked Stilt this morning, Monday, about 10:30.  No 
luck.  The storm created pool where the bird was has disappeared.  There are 
workmen in there now.
In case you want to try for it, drive west on Beekman Avenue.  You will see the 
huge abandoned GM site on your right.  Keep going and follow the road as it 
swings south.   There is plenty of parking all along here.  
You want the westernmost spot.  You will see a new apartment complex, Ichabod's 
Landing.  IMMEDIATELY north of the blue and gold sign is a paved sidewalk.  
Take it farther west.  Just past the first building is a gate in the fence to 
your right.  It is not locked.  We went through there yesterday.  Today, there 
are workmen.  Anyway, the bird was standing next to a big yellow backhoe that 
has not moved since yesterday.  The pool is gone.
Farther east there are many other pools and ponds in the old GM site.  I didn't 
see it, but who knows?
Thanks to Evan Mark for coming upon this amazing rarity.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Re: Left out of the post-Irene bonanza

[Arie Gilbert]

John,

Don't feel too bad. Jean and I headed down to Jones beach after being 
alerted to the goodies, and after dipping on the Caspian @ Flushing 
Meadow.  There were at least 7+ Black terns , and 2+ Skimmers there.


At Jones we were alerted to the parkies chasing off some cars, so we 
didn't go to where a lot of good stuff was seen, instead trying field 
10. There was shelter from the wind, and I saw one wilsons storm-peterel.


after another call, we got "braver" and met Eric, Jeff, Ian, and Donna 
at the CGS @ west end 2.  The highlight was a Sandwich tern Eric Spotted.

[nysbirds-l] Monday Birding - Jones Beach area and Floyd Bennett Field

[Seth Ausubel]

The birding today was certainly not as exciting as yesterday in Irene's
wake, but all in all it was a very good day.  I birded with Andrew Baksh and
we were joined by many others.  There was a modest flight of diurnal
landbird migrants along the barrier beach.  The highlights included

 

3 Sandwich Terns.  Two of these were at Jones Beach West End and another on
the beach at Pt. Lookout.

8 Royal Terns.  Scattered singles at various locations.

20+ Black Terns at various locations.

3 Lesser Black-backed Gulls on the beach at West End.

13 Pectoral Sandpipers at Pt. Lookout in a pool on the lawn near Lido Blvd.

1 Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Floyd Bennett Field near the pools at the
northwest corner of the runways.

1 juvenile Western Sandpiper (same location)

1 Monk Parakeet at Gilgo.  My first ever on the barrier beach.

4 Purple Martins.  2 at West End and 2 at Gilgo.

5 Bank Swallows at various locations.

35 Eastern Kingbirds, migrating in several flocks of roughly 7-10 birds.

Other swallows, Bobolinks, Red-winged Blackbirds and Cedar Waxwings were
prominent in the landbird flight

 

Mary Normandia and others reported a Whimbrel and a Marbled Godwit in the
swale at West End.  The mosquitoes were bad at all the barrier beach
locations, but at West End they can best be described as a ravenous cloud.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Monday Birding - Jones Beach area and Floyd Bennett Field

[Steve Walter]

The Point Lookout Sandwich Tern has been added to my storm page from
yesterday http://www.hmana.org/steve/Aug28.htm , along with something
completely different. Should I thank the park people for kicking us out of
Jones Beach and making this picture possible? I guess there was some good
reason for keeping the parks closed on this beautiful summer day. There must
still be some hazards. I think the UV index was kind of high today.

 

Additional site note: Lido Beach Nature Preserve had 4 Black Terns and a
passing by Merlin.

[nysbirds-l] Photos of Yesterdays Terns

[Luke Ormand]

I put up a blog post with photos of the Black Terns and Royal Terns I found
yesterday in Hampton Bays along the shores of the Peconic Bay and the
Shinnecock Inlet.  I had a photo of a Sandwhich Tern but seemed to have
misplaced it.  For those interested:
