Apologies  - sent too quick - meant to add the duck had a blue band on it's
leg - any ideas what it might be?  Thanks.

Good birding,

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach, Bethpage, Cold Spring Harbor, Lloyd Harbor: "Unidentified Duck"

[Robert Taylor]

Hi Everyone,

I stopped by a few spots today - most had the usual suspects - highlights
were:
Jones Beach: flyover Glossy Ibis, 2 Black Skimmers on Coast Guard Sandbar
Bethpage Stables - while horseback riding, saw 2 Red Tailed Hawks -one was
unusually large
Cold Spring Harbor - on the west side of the harbor, observed a duck that I
can't ID - resembles a female Wood Duck or Mandarin Duck - possible
hybrid?  photos on my blog:

[nysbirds-l] No Sightings: Vagrants moving

[Sean Sime]

Just a head's up as we enter the the transition between birds in active
migration and breeders, some interesting birds are moving north and east.
It's likely a worthy endeavor to keep checking your local patches.

The latest is a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher in RI.

http://birding.aba.org/message.php?mesid=718054=RI=Rhode%20Island

Need I discuss the Brewer's Sparrow and Virginia's warbler in Maine last
week?

Yellow-nosed Albatross off MA.

Numbers of Black-belied Whistling Ducks have moved north into Ohio. Brown
Pelicans are moving along our beaches (and lakes upstate). It seems
Neotropic Cormorants have moved in all directions this year as well with
sightings as close as NJ.

With the continuing drought conditions around Texas and across the south
perhaps we will see more birds moving outside their typical ranges and into
ours on good south westerlies?

Happy searching!

[nysbirds-l] Brown Pelican @ Jones Beach Field 6...

[Andrew Baksh]

I just received a call from Ed Becher who reported a Brown Pelican briefly
touching down in the ocean near field six, but then picked up and kept on
heading east.

Many thanks to Ed for the report and I applaud the folks who continue to
use the list serves for rare and or uncommon bird reports. Many folks who
don't use any of the other messaging services are quite grateful for these
updates.

Good luck for those who try to catch up with this bird.

Cheers,

Andrew Baksh

Re: [nysbirds-l] August 11th/12th Overnight Pelagic: Freeport, Long Island

[Andrew Baksh]

For folks on the fence on whether a trip like this might be worth it, check
out the bird that made an unexpected appearance 17 miles east of Gloucester
MA (on the northeast side of Tillies Bank.) See the report here from the 7
seas whale watch website.
http://gloucester.7seaswhalewatch.com/whale-sightings-report-june-1-2014/

There are birds out there to be found!

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach, Bethpage, Cold Spring Harbor, Lloyd Harbor: Unidentified Duck

[Robert Taylor]

Hi Everyone,

I stopped by a few spots today - most had the usual suspects - highlights
were:
Jones Beach: flyover Glossy Ibis, 2 Black Skimmers on Coast Guard Sandbar
Bethpage Stables - while horseback riding, saw 2 Red Tailed Hawks -one was
unusually large
Cold Spring Harbor - on the west side of the harbor, observed a duck that I
can't ID - resembles a female Wood Duck or Mandarin Duck - possible
hybrid?  photos on my blog:
