[nysbirds-l] Walkill 12/26 - No Gyr, Owls and Geese

2015-12-26 Thread Tim Healy 
Responded to the previous Gyr emails with this but didn't see it go to the 
listserv proper, apologies if anyone gets it a second time. Want to get the 
info out there. 

I was on location all day, watched the sun rise and set. Scanned Blue Chip, 
Shawangunk, and roads along the river between Walkill and Gardiner. Lots of 
birders were on site and no one encountered the falcon. The Greater 
White-fronted Goose continues in the flock at Blue Chip, and some of us spotted 
two Cackling Geese among the many Canadas roosting at Old Fort Road's pond. A 
handful of Short-eared Owls and Northern Harriers put on twilight show at 
Shawangunk, closing the day on a high note. Good luck to anyone who tries to 
relocate the Gyr. 

Cheers!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon updates??

2015-12-26 Thread Larry Trachtenberg 
I understand as of 2 pm today the gyrfalcon had not been seen and many birders 
were looking all day. I also read on an NjBIRDS post that a photographer 
acknowledges finding a Gyr viewing location yesterday afternoon where he was 
"hidden" behind an evergreen that allowed for "optimal viewing". The bird then 
took off or so the report states (and apparently has not been seen by anyone 
since).  I don't know him and certainly can't judge how close he got or the 
propriety of a photographer getting close to such a rare bird -- a topic of 
much comment through the years -- or whether his proximity had anything to do 
with the bird taking off. It may just be hunkered down on this overcast day and 
will show up again at Blue Chip Farm later today or tomorrow. I can say the 
linked photo is really an excellent one.  His photos are posted under the nom 
de plume "Larry Bird". As a Celtics fan since birth and growing up in Boston 
during the Russell, Havlicek, Sam and KC Jones era you just can't call yourself 
Larry Bird -- there being only one. Go Celts. Good luck with the Gyr if you're 
there or if you go. Would be a lifer for me.

[nysbirds-l] Queens Nashville Warbler

2015-12-26 Thread Steve Walter 
A Nashville Warbler that I found on Sunday continues in Oakland Ravine. For
anyone that has a need to see one before May, the location is on 56th
Avenue, just east of the intersection with Springfield Blvd. (3 blocks north
of the LIE). There is a sign on the street (north side) for Oakland Ravine,
which is bounded on the east by Queensborough Community College (easy
parking when school isn't in session). There is a paved walkway that goes a
short distance to a stone fence overlooking the ravine. The Nashville may be
getable from this vantage point, and in fact, sometimes comes out almost as
far as the street. Today, it may have been associating with Juncos (where
have we heard that before?).

listserv proper, apologies if anyone gets it a second time. Want to get the 
info out there. 

I was on location all day, watched the sun rise and set. Scanned Blue Chip, 
Shawangunk, and roads along the river between Walkill and Gardiner. Lots of 
birders were on site and no one encountered the falcon. The Greater 
White-fronted Goose continues in the flock at Blue Chip, and some of us spotted 
two Cackling Geese among the many Canadas roosting at Old Fort Road's pond. A 
handful of Short-eared Owls and Northern Harriers put on twilight show at 
Shawangunk, closing the day on a high note. Good luck to anyone who tries to 
relocate the Gyr. 

Cheers!
