[nysbirds-l] Eurasian Wigeon, others - Iroquois NWR

[Willie D'Anna and Betsy Potter]

Betsy and I hit a couple of spots in the swamps today. When returning to our
car from Kumph Marsh, we ran into Glenn Adams and Pat Martin. Glenn had seen
a bird that he was unsure about but he had a photo, so he showed it to me.
It was a EURASIAN WIGEON, which he had seen from the Kanyoo Trail. Glenn
kindly offered to take us back there to try and see it, which we did.
Although photography was difficult as the bird was at the very far side of
the marsh now and often obscured by cattails (being short and having an
angled eyepiece can be a disadvantage when digiscoping), I studied the bird
carefully for any signs of American Wigeon genes. It looked like a pure
Eurasian to me. Thanks, Glenn! Pat Martin managed to see the wigeon in the
same location but from the Feeder Road by Kumph Marsh.

 

At Kumph Marsh there were two SANDHILL CRANES and out first YELLOW WARBLER
of the year was singing nearby. At home this morning were two PINE SISKINS
and a COMMON REDPOLL, the first of the latter we have seen since April 14th.
I watched the lake from the end of Rt 425 in the Village of Wilson this
morning. There was a good flight of both loons and BONAPARTE'S GULLS, 40
RED-NECKED GREBES, and a drake SURF SCOTER. My complete checklist from the
watch is here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S23044358

 

Good birding!

Willie

[nysbirds-l] Purple Finches, Suffolk Co

[Joel Horman]

The Purple Finches which have been attending our feeders daily since our 
last report  3 weeks ago, this morning swelled in number to at least a 
dozen. We are hoping they will remain and breed, as there are previous 
records of breeding in Suffolk county in the 1980 Breeding Bird Atlas.

[nysbirds-l] Hempstead Lake SP Nassau County- Yellow-throated Warbler

[David Klauber]

A Yellow-throated Warbler continues at Hempstead Lake State Park. Mid-morning 
it was seen along the northwestern edge of the open lawn area just north of the 
pond (Macdonald Pond?), where people run their dogs. Other species of interest 
were Bank and Rough-winged Swallows, Chimney Swift, Parula and many Pine 
Warblers, and a silent Warbling Vireo. Reported by others were Black-and-White 
and Palm Warblers, and White-eyed Vireo. 
I could not find the Cape May warbler that was reported yesterday in the Jones 
Beach median.

[nysbirds-l] Neotropical Cormorant Yes

[Richard Guthrie]

True to form the NECO has returned to the Van Buren pond and is swimming and 
diving along with a few Double-crests. It is here now. 

Contrary to my earlier post and as correctly stated by Willie D'Anna,  the 
location is really in the Town of Pomfret, NY.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler - Eastport, Suffolk Co.

[Taylor Sturm]

For those not chasing a Neotropic Cormorant or trying to refind a Bl-throated 
Gray Warbler:
Last night Pamela Bracken Morrison posted to Facebook a photo of a Prothonotary 
Warbler that she found in Eastport, Suffolk County, and it continues this 
morning. 
The bird is south of a small bridge (which crosses a creek/tidal outflow) on 
East Moriches Blvd just West of Pepperidge Lake Rd. 
It is on the West shoreline working south. 
Good birding,
Taylor Sturm
