[nysbirds-l] Huntington Harbor Tufted Duck--YES

2012-12-17 Thread John Gluth
The drake TUFTED DUCK in Huntington Harbor (Suffolk Co.) put on a nice show
this afternoon. It was farther out in the harbor when I arrived at 1:00,
driven there (according to Steve Schellenger, already on the scene) by two
Great Black-backed Gulls. But it eventually made its way back in close to
the piers of the Suffolk County Marine Police, coming within 60-70 ft. of
the bulkhead. I spent an hour observing and photographing it. Photos can be
viewed at the link below. On the way home I checked St. Charles Cemetery for
the Barnacle Goose. I found only a small flock of ~125 Canada Geese, among
which was 1 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE, but no Barnacle. There was also a
small, dark Canada Goose present, quite similar to the presumed "Dusky"
Goose seen at Deep Hollow Ranch in Montauk back in November. These were
viewed through the fence along Wellwood Avenue ~.25 miles south of the
cemetery entrance.

[nysbirds-l] 2012 Rockland County CBC Results - Preliminary

2012-12-17 Thread Alan Wells
Preliminary 2012 Preliminary CBC Results

The 66th Annual Rockland County CBC was conducted on December 16, 2012.
Thirty-nine field counters covered eight of the nine sub-regions within the
Rockland count circle. (On average, the missing sub-region adds
approximately 1,470 individuals to the total count.) Air temperatures
remained near 40°F with a light to moderate rain persisting throughout much
of the day. All water bodies were open and ice-free.

A total of 13,826 individual birds representing 87 species was counted. The
count includes one count week species and one feeder count report. The
number of species observed in 2012 is fairly typical. The range for 1947
through 2011 is 47 to 92 species with an average of 74. The number of
individuals counted, however, is somewhat on the low side. For 1947-2011,
counts range from 2,275 to 59,622 with an average of 18,975. For 2012, the
top three most abundant species were: European Starling (3,568), Canada
Goose (3,015), and Ring-billed Gull (1,403). Together, these three species
make up nearly 58% of the total count. 

The full count will be posted, along with past years, on
www.rocklandaudubon.org, when the results have been finalized. (Still
awaiting addition feeder counts and count week reports.) The highlights are
given below.

 

Increases

Northern Shoveler – 2012 was the highest recorded count, 133 compared to the
previous high of 94 in 2011.

Great Blue Heron – the 2012 count of 53 surpassed the previous high of 42 in
1999.

Bald Eagle – the 2012 count of 44 individuals (18 juveniles and 26 adults)
topped the old record of 29 established in 2007.

 

Decreases

Canvasback – continues to decline; only 16 seen in 2012 compared to the
average 181 (1947-2011).

Herring Gull – seven seen in 2012 compared to the average 914 from 1947
through 2011. Numbers have declined substantially since about 2000, likely
the result of capping and other waste management practices at the Clarkstown
and Haverstraw landfills.

American Crow – 260 seen in 2012. This was the 12th lowest count since 1947
and the lowest count since 1970.

Red-winged Blackbird – 26 seen in 2012. The average for the entire 1947-2011
period is 678.

Common Grackle – 40 seen in 2012 compared to the 1947-2011 average of 360.
The large roosting flocks typically found in Piermont Marsh were not evident
this year.

 

Misses

Yellow-rumped Warbler – seen in 51 of 65 years; none in 2012.

Field Sparrow - seen in 55 of 65 years; none in 2012.

Swamp Sparrow - seen in 58 of 65 years; none in 2012.

Purple Finch - seen in 58 of 65 years; none in 2012.

 

Other counts of note

Brant – four seen at Haverstraw Bay County Park. This is only the third time
since 1947 that Brant have found their way onto the Rockland count.

Red-throated Loon – the three seen in 2012 (one in Haverstraw Bay and two
near Piermont) equal the total number seen in the previous 65 years ( one in
1952, one in 1970, and one count week bird in 2006).

Wilson’s Warbler – single individual seen on count day as well as on the two
days preceding the count. Present in the backyard of a private residence
near Piermont. Photographs of the individual are available upon request.
This species is rare in Rockland even in the Spring and Summer, but there is
at least one record from Rockland County as late as December 19 dating back
to 1961. 

 

Most Disappointing Find

Barred Owl – a freshly killed individual found on the road near Haverstraw
Bay County Park. This species was previously unknown from this area of the
County.

[nysbirds-l] BARNACLE GOOSE (YES) @ Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx, NY on December 17, 2012

2012-12-17 Thread David Flynt
Thank you to all of the people on the list who continue to report on the
BARNACLE GOOSE at Van Cortlandt Park.  I really appreciate the details of
the whereabouts and when to try to view the bird.  Today I drove up from
Arlington, VA to see it, and I had success.  I arrived and parked at 251st
St & Broadway at 10:00AM, and after about ten minutes of scanning I found
the BARNACLE GOOSE.

The CACKLING GOOSE was a little more difficult, but after another 20
minutes, I found the goose that looks identical to the one photographed by
Andrew Baksh (
http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/msg09055.html).  In
particular, this bird had a thin white half-ring separating the black neck
and the light brown upper breast, like the "Aleutian" Cackling goose, but
not as prominent.  In addition to being shorter and smaller overall than
Canada Geese, its head rounded and short stubby bill, another feature that
stood out on this bird was the color and size of the white face patch
looked slightly brighter and covered a greater percentage of its face
compared to the Canada Geese in the field.

It was a long day, but a great one.  Thanks again NY birders.

[nysbirds-l] Barnacle Goose, V.C.P,, Bronx Co. 12/17

2012-12-17 Thread Thomas Fiore
The Barnacle Goose was present, along with well over 1,000 Canada Geese, on the 
extensive Parade Ground field (immediately east of Broadway), in Van Cortlandt 
Park, The Bronx.  The Barnacle was a bit off to itself when seen around 2 p.m., 
much closer to the east edge of the field, and roughly mid-way between the 
north and south ends of the field. That would put it very approximately near a 
side street of W. 250 St., & about 100+ yards east of Broadway. The Barnacle 
tolerated an approach to within 100 feet but then became much more alert, and I 
approached no closer as not to interrupt the feeding it, and a majority of all 
the other geese nearby, were engaged in. On a weekday and with raw weather 
there was essentially no one else nearby, and the Canada geese were sprawled 
all over almost the entire field. I did not attempt to locate any other geese, 
such as possible Cackling, that could have been present in the throngs.

Good birding,

Tom Fiore,
Manhattan

[nysbirds-l] Captree CBC, 16 Dec 2012

2012-12-17 Thread Shaibal Mitra
The 51st Captree CBC was conducted on 16 Dec 2012 under strong easterly winds, 
with rain increasing from trace in the morning to light through the afternoon.

The species total was 115 (plus Ipswich Sparrow), just above the 10-year 
average of 114, but the composition of this middling total was regarded as 
really remarkable by long-time participants.

Three species were added to the count's hefty cumulative list:

American Golden-Plover--continuing bird at Heckscher SP

Parasitic Jaeger--seen at length off of Robert Moses SP; the Captree CBC has 
one prior record of a jaeger sp., from 20 Dec 1987.

Common Raven--2 at Edgewood Preserve, this circle's version of a northern 
wilderness.

Using the Brooklyn CBC's scarcity criteria, we recorded 10 species that have 
been found on only 0-3 of the past 10 CBCs, and a further 10 species that have 
been found on 4-7 of the past 10 CBCs. The pair of numbers after each name 
represent the number of records from the last 10 years, followed by the number 
of records from the count's previous 50-year history (for example, Dovekie had 
not been recorded in the last 10 years, but was recorded 6 times 1962-2011).

Dovekie 0, 6 (6 birds off of RMSP)
Yellow-breasted Chat 0, 2 (West Sayville)
White-winged Crossbill 0, 5 (7 birds in 3 sectors)

Barnacle Goose 1, 1 (continuing bird St Charles Cem)
Blue-winged Teal 1, 5 (Connetquot River SP)
Black Rail 1, 1 (Yes, the "Captree Crake Curse" has struck yet again!)
Common Yellowthroat 1, 21 (Heckscher SP; obvious decrease in frequency in the 
past decade)
Red Crossbill 1, 13 (43 birds in 2 sectors)

Black-legged Kittiwake 3, 30 (19 birds, all adults, flying west to east off 
RMSP)
Monk Parakeet 3, 3 (Edgewood)

Purple Finch 4, 18 (Edgewood)

Virginia Rail 5, 14 (3 birds in 2 sectors)
Greater Yellowlegs 5, 22 (11 birds Gardiner sector)
Brown-headed Cowbird 5, 39 (8 birds Gardiner sector)

Common Eider 6, 17 (48 birds along oceanfront)
Razorbill 6, 16 (Cedar Beach)
White-crowned Sparrow 6, 17 (4 birds, Edgewood & St Charles Cem)

Wild Turkey 7, 41 (2 birds Seatuck sector)
American Kestrel 7, 45 (St Charles Cem)
Killdeer 7, 38 (5 birds Seatuck sector)

By far our worst miss was Horned Grebe. Despite extensive coverage of the 
oceanfront, Fire Island Inlet, and Great South Bay, this species was absent for 
just the second time in 51 years.

Also missed for the second time ever was Canvasback, but in this case the first 
miss was just last year, and numbers have been obviously reduced in recent 
years (Captree averaged 859 Canvasbacks per year from 1969-1981).

Eastern Meadowlark was missed for the the 6th time in 51 years, and Wilson's 
Snipe for the 10th time. After these, the misses were much less unusual, but 
seemingly included a larger proportion of "tough" species than usual--probably 
owing to the poor weather.

Fwd: [nysbirds-l] Tufted Duck, Huntington Harbor, Suffolk Co.

2012-12-17 Thread Derek Rogers
The Tufted Duck is still being seen, sometimes at very close range, in the
previously reported area. The best viewing area has been along the
bulkhead, just west of the Halesite Fire Department (left onto Anchorage
Lane off of 110). The duck remains in the company of Buffleheads,
Red-breasted Mergansers, some Gulls, and the finder, Brent Bomkamp.
Excellent find, Brent. The bird did take a couple of short flights within
the bay area, sometimes disappearing behind the various floating docks that
line the shore. It generally stayed within 200 yards of the described
bulkhead area.

The link below shows some digi-scope photos of the bird. I feel very
fortunate that yet another Tufted Duck was found right around the corner
from my office.

[nysbirds-l] Ovenbird, Bryant Park (Manhattan), 12/17

2012-12-17 Thread Ed Gaillard
When I got off the subway at 42nd and Sixth Avenue this morning, I
caught a glimpse of a bird with an olive-colored back in the bushes
just south of Byant Park's NW entrance plaza (where the 'whichcraft
booth is).  I waited around a few minutes and was rewarded with a nice
view of an Ovenbird.  Its orange medial crown stripe was somewhat
faded but fairly distinct between the black border stripes. Not sure
if this is the same individual I saw many times at this location in
October and November; that one was uncharacteristically bold for an
Ovenbird, this one more typically shy. Well, as shy as you can be when
hanging around midtown Manhattan.

Good birding,

[nysbirds-l] Black-headed Gull, Setauket (Suffolk)

2012-12-17 Thread Douglas Futuyma
The previously reported Black-headed Gull was feeding at 9:30 this morning,
at very low tide, in the tidal creek that drains the Setauket Mill Pond
north into Conscience Bay.  Best viewing was from the trail that parallels
the creek in the Frank Melville Memorial Park, north of the Mill Pond.
