[nysbirds-l] Black-bellied Whistling-duck Details and Photos (Nassau Co.)

2015-07-21 Thread Brent Bomkamp 
After receiving the original email from Rob Longiaru (thanks Rob!) I
arrived at Nickerson Beach to find Bob Anderson already there, with Bob
Proniewicz arriving soon afterward.  The birds possessed no bands on their
legs, and as evidenced by their eventual departure, a clear ability to
fly.  All hind toes appeared to be present, though I'm sure that others
with better photographs can substantiate this.  Additionally, they were
extremely wary of people and displayed alert posture whenever anyone
approached within about 100 feet.  As Brendan said, their flight was low,
leaving the possibility that they are still in the area.

Photos, albeit of poor quality, are in this eBird checklist and my flickr
account:

Also worth noting in the area was a Tricolored Heron at Captree Island (no
White-faced Ibis)

I was told by the park office the parking fee is collected from 9am-
5pm.  Several birders were able to get permission to enter
specifically to look at/for the ducks  before 5pm by talking to the
person manning the booth, though there are no guarantees.

[nysbirds-l] Nickerson BBWD (Nassau Co.) Potential Search Strategy

2015-07-21 Thread Brendan Fogarty 
Hey everyone,
When the whistling-ducks took off this afternoon, then flew west but low, and 
may not have gone far. I stopped in at Conservation and Waterways and talked 
with some of the plover crew there - this year the only other nearby body of 
water is only a few hundred feet southwest of the southwest corner of that same 
lot - you can access it by walking out to the beach (footpaths or the vehicle 
path along the west side of the lot) and heading right (west) toward the 
fenced-off, natural dune area right there. There are NO other vernal pools 
further back in the dunes; just let that area be.
As for access, Nickerson is a problem, Sidestreet parking across Lido Blvd is 
NOT allowed in summer from 8am-8pm for most areas that I saw. Car access to the 
parking lot is $8 if you have a Leisure Pass (which costs $80 for the season), 
otherwise $30 - until they stop collecting sometime in the evening (6pm?). The 
best nearby parking option is likely the Lido Passive Preserve, just one 
stoplight to the east of Nickerson, then walk or bike into Nickerson. Good 
luck,Brendan Fogarty

Subject: Re: [ebirdsnyc] Re: [nysbirds-l] Red Phalarope WE2 Ponds JBSP Update

A few people e-mailed me for further details on the whereabouts of this bird so 
I figured I would send a broadcast message.

When I left, about 30 minutes ago, the Red Phalarope was still showing well. It 
sporadically takes flight in response to a number of variables including low 
flying aircraft. As seen earlier, when it disappeared for over 20 minutes it 
returned eventually to the ponds, just be patient and check all three ponds. 
Please do not attempt to go down into the ponds as it may spook everything and 
it may very well not return.

For logistics, park in the Teddy Roosevelt Nature Center parking lot and head 
west through the dunes towards what appears to be an old blind--look for people 
with scopes etc. Additionally, Least Sandpipers, White-rumped Sandpiper, 
Short-billed Dowitchers, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Killdeers, Semipalmated 
Plovers, Eastern Willet along with both Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs are in 
the area.

Happy Phalarope Friday!

The Red Phalarope that was found this morning by Bob Anderson, took flight from 
one of the ponds near the Teddy Roosevelt center heading east--I lost it as it 
banked towards the ocean.

The bird was showing well but kept getting spooked by low flying aircraft.  It 
kept moving back and forth between the two ponds. However, since this last 
flight about 25 minutes ago it has been a no show.

I don't know if the swale has any water but I'll check that area and post an 
update either way.

[nysbirds-l] Nickerson Beach Parking Lot - black-bellied whistling ducks

2015-07-21 Thread Rob Longiaru 
A mated pair of Black-bellied whistling ducks were seen in the man-made pond in 
the west side of Nickerson Beach Parking lot. Seems like they're out of their

[nysbirds-l] East Pond update and Breezy Point Shorebird Survey Report Queens County...

2015-07-21 Thread Andrew Baksh 
In addition to the sticking of PVC pipes to open the flap on the bayside,
thus allowing more drainage. This morning, I came across heavy duty work on
the North End East Side of the East Pond--the entrance is taped off as NPS
has engaged in some engineer work.  A hole has been dug just behind the
water control gate on the path, deep enough to reach the pipe that goes
under the north berm. I suspect this is the area that has been deemed
problematic either due to leakage/collapsed or clogged pipe. My guess, is
that they will try to repair this section of the pipe.

I was surprised to see this being attempted now but I suppose folks have
realized how dire the situation is and are trying to correct the problem.
You have to give NPS credit for trying. I cannot thank enough all of you
who took the time to call or write. Let's hope this fix works.  Your
efforts paid off in getting action and I hope that the result is a long
term solution in place that will enable proper drainage of the pond.

Earlier, I did a shorebird survey at Breezy Point where I had 10 species of
shorebirds highlighted by 4 Whimbrels and a fresh looking juvenile Spotted
Sandpiper. A brief seawatching was non productive.

Cheers,

Joan Quinlan just called to report a Lark Sparrow at Robert Moses SP, 
near the eastern exit of parking field 2. It flew up and disappeared 
into the shrubbery as she was leaving, about 15 or so minutes ago, but 
Lark Sparrows have favored this area in past years so with any luck, it 
will come back out and stick around for others to see.

[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow Robert Moses SP., Suffolk Co.

2015-07-21 Thread pjlindsay 
Joan Quinlan just called to report a Lark Sparrow at Robert Moses SP, 
near the eastern exit of parking field 2. It flew up and disappeared 
into the shrubbery as she was leaving, about 15 or so minutes ago, but 
Lark Sparrows have favored this area in past years so with any luck, it 
will come back out and stick around for others to see.

[nysbirds-l] East Pond update and Breezy Point Shorebird Survey Report Queens County...

2015-07-21 Thread Andrew Baksh 
In addition to the sticking of PVC pipes to open the flap on the bayside,
thus allowing more drainage. This morning, I came across heavy duty work on
the North End East Side of the East Pond--the entrance is taped off as NPS
has engaged in some engineer work.  A hole has been dug just behind the
water control gate on the path, deep enough to reach the pipe that goes
under the north berm. I suspect this is the area that has been deemed
problematic either due to leakage/collapsed or clogged pipe. My guess, is
that they will try to repair this section of the pipe.

I was surprised to see this being attempted now but I suppose folks have
realized how dire the situation is and are trying to correct the problem.
You have to give NPS credit for trying. I cannot thank enough all of you
who took the time to call or write. Let's hope this fix works.  Your
efforts paid off in getting action and I hope that the result is a long
term solution in place that will enable proper drainage of the pond.

Earlier, I did a shorebird survey at Breezy Point where I had 10 species of
shorebirds highlighted by 4 Whimbrels and a fresh looking juvenile Spotted
Sandpiper. A brief seawatching was non productive.

Cheers,

[nysbirds-l] Black-bellied Whistling-duck Details and Photos (Nassau Co.)

2015-07-21 Thread Brent Bomkamp 
After receiving the original email from Rob Longiaru (thanks Rob!) I
arrived at Nickerson Beach to find Bob Anderson already there, with Bob
Proniewicz arriving soon afterward.  The birds possessed no bands on their
legs, and as evidenced by their eventual departure, a clear ability to
fly.  All hind toes appeared to be present, though I'm sure that others
with better photographs can substantiate this.  Additionally, they were
extremely wary of people and displayed alert posture whenever anyone
approached within about 100 feet.  As Brendan said, their flight was low,
leaving the possibility that they are still in the area.

Photos, albeit of poor quality, are in this eBird checklist and my flickr
account:
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S24340116

Also worth noting in the area was a Tricolored Heron at Captree Island (no
White-faced Ibis)

 On Sunday, I birded both the rising and falling tides at the Cupsogue flats
 on Long Island. There were not a lot of birds, especially in the peep
 variety but the diversity of shorebirds has increased. I ended up with 17
 species of shorebirds (I counted both Willet subspecies as separate
 entries).
 
 3rd time this season, I have stumbled on a Whimbrel which I always hear
 first before seeing. Red Knots were new for the season with 2 and 3
 Sanderlings were also new on the flats within the last few weeks. The two
 basic plumage Dunlins continued. A couple of Royal Terns also made brief
 appearances during high and falling tide. No other terns of note were
 observed but I spent a considerable amount of time just studying and
 observing Common and Forster's Terns.  The shorebird species are listed
 below:
 
 American Oystercatcher
 Black-bellied Plover
 Semipalmated Plover
 Piping Plover
 Spotted Sandpiper
 Greater Yellowlegs
 Lesser Yellowlegs
 Willet (Eastern)
 Willet (Western)

A few people e-mailed me for further details on the whereabouts of this bird so 
I figured I would send a broadcast message.

When I left, about 30 minutes ago, the Red Phalarope was still showing well. It 
sporadically takes flight in response to a number of variables including low 
flying aircraft. As seen earlier, when it disappeared for over 20 minutes it 
returned eventually to the ponds, just be patient and check all three ponds. 
Please do not attempt to go down into the ponds as it may spook everything and 
it may very well not return.

For logistics, park in the Teddy Roosevelt Nature Center parking lot and head 
west through the dunes towards what appears to be an old blind--look for people 
with scopes etc. Additionally, Least Sandpipers, White-rumped Sandpiper, 
Short-billed Dowitchers, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Killdeers, Semipalmated 
Plovers, Eastern Willet along with both Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs are in 
the area.

Happy Phalarope Friday!

The Red Phalarope that was found this morning by Bob Anderson, took flight from 
one of the ponds near the Teddy Roosevelt center heading east--I lost it as it 
banked towards the ocean.

The bird was showing well but kept getting spooked by low flying aircraft.  It 
kept moving back and forth between the two ponds. However, since this last 
flight about 25 minutes ago it has been a no show.

I don't know if the swale has any water but I'll check that area and post an 
update either way.

[nysbirds-l] Nickerson BBWD (Nassau Co.) Potential Search Strategy

2015-07-21 Thread Brendan Fogarty 
Hey everyone,
When the whistling-ducks took off this afternoon, then flew west but low, and 
may not have gone far. I stopped in at Conservation and Waterways and talked 
with some of the plover crew there - this year the only other nearby body of 
water is only a few hundred feet southwest of the southwest corner of that same 
lot - you can access it by walking out to the beach (footpaths or the vehicle 
path along the west side of the lot) and heading right (west) toward the 
fenced-off, natural dune area right there. There are NO other vernal pools 
further back in the dunes; just let that area be.
As for access, Nickerson is a problem, Sidestreet parking across Lido Blvd is 
NOT allowed in summer from 8am-8pm for most areas that I saw. Car access to the 
parking lot is $8 if you have a Leisure Pass (which costs $80 for the season), 
otherwise $30 - until they stop collecting sometime in the evening (6pm?). The 
best nearby parking option is likely the Lido Passive Preserve, just one 
stoplight to the east of Nickerson, then walk or bike into Nickerson. Good 
luck,Brendan Fogarty
Hempstead, NY

I was told by the park office the parking fee is collected from 9am-
5pm.  Several birders were able to get permission to enter
specifically to look at/for the ducks  before 5pm by talking to the
person manning the booth, though there are no guarantees.

 Hey everyone,
 When the whistling-ducks took off this afternoon, then flew west but low,
 and may not have gone far. I stopped in at Conservation and Waterways and
 talked with some of the plover crew there - this year the only other nearby
 body of water is only a few hundred feet southwest of the southwest corner
 of that same lot - you can access it by walking out to the beach (footpaths
 or the vehicle path along the west side of the lot) and heading right (west)
 toward the fenced-off, natural dune area right there. There are NO other
 vernal pools further back in the dunes; just let that area be.
 As for access, Nickerson is a problem, Sidestreet parking across Lido Blvd
 is NOT allowed in summer from 8am-8pm for most areas that I saw. Car access
 to the parking lot is $8 if you have a Leisure Pass (which costs $80 for the
 season), otherwise $30 - until they stop collecting sometime in the evening
 (6pm?). The best nearby parking option is likely the Lido Passive Preserve,
 just one stoplight to the east of Nickerson, then walk or bike into
 Nickerson. Good luck,Brendan Fogarty
