[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn March 22nd
An enthusiastic band of Brooklyn Bird Club members hit a few sites in Kings County today. In addition to the expected species we saw a drake Eurasian Wigeon at Coney Island Creek. At the same spot Dennis Hrehowsik found what we presume to be a partially leucistic Ring-billed Gull. https://www.flickr.com/photos/22689183@N00/13338779785/ cheers Keir RandallBrooklyn -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
RE: [nysbirds-l] (not much) Bronx Co. 3/22
I encountered Tom Fiore at Van Cortlandt Park this afternoon and as he said things were fairly quiet, however, after leaving Tom at the south end of the marsh I headed for Vault Hill in search of some early butterflies he had found there. On the south side of the hill, just a little below the "vault", I encountered a single male Eastern Bluebird. On the top of the hill I found one Mourning Cloak about where Tom had encountered one earlier. In the morning, I had birded Inwood Hill Park in northern Manhattan and found it also very quiet.

To say that Manny was an inspiration, great leader, scholar,and most of all, a great friend to those who had the pleasure and honor of knowing him, is an understatement. I learned a lot from him through the years and look back at my time spent with him with a feeling of great warmth. He was a true "mensch" in every sense. I'll miss you Manny, and thank you for all that you did. God bless...

[nysbirds-l] Kaler Park, Center Moriches, Connetquot and Belmont State Parks: usual suspects and crows
Hi Everyone, I stopped by Kaler Park in Center Moriches for a minute -just saw a Pekin Duck on the pond. Connetquot had the normal ducks on the main pond: Scaup, Gadwall, Ring Necked, Mallards. I figured I'd try walking around the grassy areas and look on the large trees to try for something different but didn't find anything unusual: tons of Robins, Chickadees, Titmouse, White Breasted Nuthatch etc. It's the type of place where you need to walk around a while. I didn't find anything unusual at Belmont Lake except crows feeding among Canada Geese. There was an unsually large amount of crows there in a small area- at least 40 in the field near the exit and the neighboring pine trees. I couldn't help but think to myself that they're "refugees" from Greene County : ) Pics from yesterday at Massapequa Preserve now updated on my blog.

[nysbirds-l] Red-shouldered Hawk
3/21/14 Long Lake (northern Hamilton Co.) Yesterday, at 1:15 p.m., my husband and I had a conversation interrupted by the extremely loud vocalizations of a Red-shouldered Hawk outside our house! The Blue Jays have been imitating Broad-winged Hawks every day (one is going as I write this!), so I fully expected to see a Blue Jay when I looked out the window, but instead, it was indeed a Red-shouldered Hawk! I suspect it was attracted by huge numbers of Red and Gray Squirrels here for bird seed. This also solves the ID of the distant vocalization that I recorded down our road on 3/6/14 (which several folks have also been trying to solve). I kept coming back to Red-shouldered Hawk when I listened to it, but kept telling myself that 3/6 is just way too early for the central Adirondacks (they usually show up in later April and I find many breeding in the Long Lake area - at wetlands that drain into Long Lake). The vocalization that I recorded was very intense. Yesterday, the Red-shouldered Hawk was giving the exact same intense vocalization, which was likely because it was being harassed by corvids (Amer. Crows and Blue Jays) at the time - they drove it away from the house as I observed it. I believe it was back again this morning - I caught sight as it flew away. We have at least 2 feet of snow on the ground (with more lake effect snows every day) and no open water. The weather forecast shows more of the same, with no spring weather yet, so it seems very surprising that a Red-shouldered Hawk would come back so early. (I enjoyed emailing about the recording with Kurt Fox - yes Kurt, it was indeed a "rapid, urgent" Red-shouldered Hawk! Both of us kept trying to dismiss this possibility based on the date. Given how mixed up things are becoming with climate change, it is always best to trust your instincts now!) In addition to this Red-shouldered Hawk, which appears to have returned to the mountains on 3/6/14, we found one on 1/13/14 near Port Henry (perched over a little, open stream) in the Lake Champlain Valley. There have been several other reports of a Red-shouldered Hawk in that area, so I suspect it is the same bird, and that it over-wintered this year. There was also a Red-shouldered Hawk that over-wintered across Lake Champlain in Vermont. Port Henry is around only 200-300' in elevation, and our house is at 2,000', so the weather is quite a bit more harsh here! There are certainly no snakes or amphibians for this bird to eat right now! The day before "spring", 3/19/14, two Red-winged Blackbirds showed up at our feeders for just a couple minutes - the only brief sign of spring all week. It is interesting that Pat & John Thaxton also had a visit from Red-winged Blackbirds that day.
