[nysbirds-l] East Pond report 8-23

2017-08-23 Thread Andrew Baksh
I spent about 5 hours on the East Pond today, birding on a rising and falling 
tides. Not a whole lot of Shorebirds but enough to keep things interesting. In 
total 12 species of for me with 1 additional (Western Sandpiper) seen by Robert 
Proniewych and Ed Becher who reported having multiple birds near the Raunt.

My Shorebird highlights include:

Stilt Sandpiper (11) all mostly on the north end.

White-rumped Sandpiper (7)

Pectoral Sandpiper (5 - 4 juveniles and 1 adult)

Duckage highlights include: 

Blue-winged Teal (23)
Green-winged Teal (9)
Northern Shoveler (15)
Wood Duck (2)

Other East Pond notable was an Adult Bald Eagle sitting near the Island on the 
North End. First time I had one sitting on the pond.

A note on the pond condition and access. The water level on the Pond continues 
to improve; walking up from the south to the north end was an easy schlep for 
me. Please, note boots still required.

Regarding the recent row over the Call Ahead Trucks blocking the trail head for 
the East Pond. Today, I had no such issues when I arrived and upon leaving. 
Efforts have been made to communicate with the owner so perhaps there is some 
progress on leaving enough room for East Pond south end visitors. Folks are 
keeping an eye on the situation so it is hopeful it was a one off and not a 
recurring problem.

The list serve is dead, long live the list serve!

RE:[nysbirds-l] Seems like posting is dying - Lark Sparrow (Nassau) and White Ibis (Saratoga)

2017-08-23 Thread Larry Trachtenberg
Does seem like its Ebird, Facebook, etc., or bust.  Extralimital for four days 
running including today, there has been a Wood Stork in the Salt Pond off 
Fisherman's Trail at the end of Sandy Hook (in NJ), always a great place even 
without such a northeast rarity. Still summer so there's a fee BUT if you show 
your bins at toll booth and park in one of the designated (non-Beach) lots 
(which includes closest lot to wood stork), it's free.

Sadly, for unknown reasons, posts to this list are on the decline. 

A Lark Sparrow was viewed this morning by several people on the eastern most 
exit roadway of Jones Beach West End Field 2 in Nassau County.

Additionally, an ebird report was posted with photographs of a White Ibis taken 
yesterday in Saratoga.

The ibis was not reported to any listservs nor the local WhatsApp group,
and the ebird alert went out about 12 hours after the bird was seen.
Several of us searched for it this morning without success.
