[nysbirds-l] Orange County Week Highlights

[Curt McDermott]

Today I birded the Newburgh Waterfront, from approx. 3:45 to 5PM.  Gull number 
were good with the highlights being a first winter Glaucous Gull and 2 first 
winter Iceland Gulls.  
Two other county highlight from early in the week were found by Matt Zeitler.  
On Tuesday, 1/27, Matt had 6 Lapland Longspur on Missionland Rd. in Pine 
Island.  On Saturday, 1/31, 4 Longspurs remained.  On Thursday, 1/29, Matt 
located a Barn Owl flying on Oil City Rd.
Locally:  My Father (Ken McDermott), reported that he and others from the John 
Burroughs Club had at least 13 Short-eared Owls today at Shawangunk Grasslands 
(Galeville).

Good Birding,Curt McDermott

[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn ICGUs

[Rob Jett]

This morning there was a 1st cycle ICELAND GULL at Bush Terminal Park, as well 
as, the previously reported GLAUCOUS GULL.  Later in the morning Heydi Lopes 
and I spotted a 2nd cycle Iceland Gull roosting on one of the derelict wooden 
barges in Coney Island Creek on the south side of Calvert Vaux Park (aka 
Dreier-Offerman Park). We then walked west along the edge of the peninsula 
towards Gravesend Bay. Across the water on the beach in front of Coney Island 
Creek Park we spotted what appeared to be a third Iceland Gull! I say 
"appeared" because it is unclear whether this was a different individual from 
the other two as it took off before we could get really good looks or a photo 
could be taken. I think it was unlikely to be the bird we saw a few minutes 
earlier in the creek as we had walked along the water and probably would have 
noticed it flying passed. With all the nice winter gull sightings in Brooklyn 
when is the first Ivory Gull going to appear?

Good birding,

Rob
