[nysbirds-l] Bank Swallows on Road
Just outside of Hudson, NY we came upon a flock of 150 or so bank swallows. Some on wires overhead, but about half on the surface of the black topped road, seemingly warming themselves. The sun was low, but the road surface quite warm. They were reluctant to fly even when I stopped a car in their midst, but all eventually did, except one DOR. I've never seen this behavior.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff @ JBWR 3:00
The Ruff was still visible from the Big John's overlook, well south of the Raunt on the east side 10 mins ago. It was moving south at a very fast pace initially, but it has slowed to forage on a mudflat just before the cove bends out of view. I imagine the south end would supply good views as well, but one should take care not to step out and disturb the bird from the southern shoreline. In the process of sending this email, the bird took off and looked to be headed north, somewhat towards the bay. Not currently in view. Really handsome individual! Rufous with a somewhat darker neck ruff. Thanks to all who update on the whereabouts and comings and goings of the bird.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ruff Update @ JBWR 1:59 pm
The Ruff is being seen at the north end of the East Pond. It is on the east side and making its way back south. If you are at the overlook at Big John's, look north or south along the east side and you should be able to pick this bird up. It looks a bit like "Rufous Ruff" from 2012 but it has a lot more breeding plumage - http://birdingdude.blogspot.com/2012/07/2nd-ruff-at-jamaica-bay-wildlife-refuge.html?m=1 For anyone wondering about the various East Pond areas nomenclatures, please check out the map https://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/153262543/East-Pond-Guide Cheers, "I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." ~ Frederick Douglass 風 Swift as the wind 林 Quiet as the forest 火 Conquer like the fire 山 Steady as the mountain Sun Tzu The Art of War > (__/) > (= '.'=) > (") _ (") > Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device!

[nysbirds-l] Suffolk County Goatsuckers 6-24-16
Last night a group of us went in search of goatsuckers. The first sucky thing we encountered was an accident on sunrise highway that closed all three lanes and herded the traffic off onto the service road. Police closed all of the lanes because it involved a death, and hours later on our return the road was still closed to traffic eastbound. After finally arriving in Quogue and walking some roads we heard a Chuck wills widow calling, after some time, in this location: https://goo.gl/maps/STy7SXHkRqN2 but it was distant and came from west of where we were. we could not relocate it afterwards. on our way back home we stopped at Hampton west park https://goo.gl/maps/JxoKFuvdM6U2 where we heard 2 distant calling whip poor wills.
