Hey Phillip,

It's called a joke - sorry that it took away some of your internet
bandwith.  You may go back to looking at internet porn now.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Sands Point Preserve (Nassau) inc Lincoln's Sparrow

[Phillip Magnussen]

Might I ask what on Earth it is you're doing wasting the entire State of
New York's birding community's internet bandwidth by making this comment?
Perhaps if these "night goggles" are indeed tangible objects I suggest
applying them before venturing out to Jones Beach before sunrise; maybe you
will properly observe Black-throated Green Warblers that way.
I hope I didn't select "reply all" as you did.

Might I ask what on Earth it is you're doing wasting the entire State of
New York's birding community's internet bandwidth by making this comment?
Perhaps if these "night goggles" are indeed tangible objects I suggest
applying them before venturing out to Jones Beach before sunrise; maybe you
will properly observe Black-throated Green Warblers that way.
I hope I didn't select "reply all" as you did.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Curlew Sandpiper Jones Beach we2

[Steve Walter]

I hate to do this - and I saw the bird in question - but it looks like a
Dunlin to me. While I wait to see other people's photographs showing a white
rump, I've gone over my pictures. All other characteristics are perfectly in
line with what a juvenile Dunlin might exhibit in late September. Most
importantly, the breast is streaked with black. I don't know of any plumage
of Curlew Sandpiper that would have that. The upperparts are rather typical
of a juvenile's molt. Gray feathers have replaced most of the juvenile
feathers on the back. The coverts and tertials are still juvenile, with some
of the latter still showing some rufous edging. There is one rufous feather
in the scapulars; often there will be a couple more. The bill, while on the
longer extreme of Dunlin bill length, doesn't appear to be out of range. I
could find a few others in my photo collection of the same length and
curvature. The bird's overall structure, including thick neck and large
head, also favor Dunlin.

[nysbirds-l] Sands Point Preserve (Nassau) inc Lincoln's Sparrow

[GQ]

It was a much, much warmer morning than I thought it would be in the preserve 
this morning. I wore long pants and a long sleeve Henley and by the time 11AM 
rolled around, I was a disgusting gobbet of sweat.
Despite these conditions, there were still a lot more migrants than I thought 
would be there, including some birds that I don’t normally see in numbers until 
October.

The only real highlight was an early Lincoln’s Sparrow. I’ll have to check my 
records to see if I’ve ever had one here before October.

White-throated Sparrows are in, (about 6) and also Eastern Phoebe (also, about 
6). Lot’s of Northern Flickers (near 35). 2 Swamp Sparrows and an out-of-place 
Chipping Sparrow by the pond suggested some kind of early sparrow movement.
Warblers were as follows:
Black-and-White-2
Northern Parula-5
Black-throated Blue-7
Myrtle-1
Black-throated Green-3
Blackburnian-4 (all together)
Chestnut-sided-2
Palm-3
Ovenbird-1
Common Yellowthroat-1
American Redstart-2

Other migrants included Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Great-Crested Flycatcher, 
Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Red-eyed Vireo, White-eyed Vireo, Scarlet Tanager (3), 
Rose-breasted Grosbeak (5).
Only one hawk, a Sharp-shinned, terrorizing the flickers around the pond.

I have not seen a single Northern Waterthrush since the fall migration began. 
Any comments on this?

PS: If you’re thinking of birding the preserve tomorrow (24th), it’s Village 
Day. It might be OK at 8AM but it will soon descend into a cacophony of  
screaming children and parents running around everywhere..

Cheers,

Glenn

[nysbirds-l] Curlew Sandpiper Jones Beach we2

[Arie Gilbert]

Curt, Stacey, Liz, and I walked down the swale as far as we could go due to 
deep water and I caught sight of some sepa plovers. Another bird caught my eye 
with a long droopy bill. We studied it for a while, Stacey digiscoped it, while 
I went back for Curt and my cameras. 
We saw and photographed the white rump eliminating Dunlin
Unfortunately. The group of birds took off. But may still be in the area.

[nysbirds-l] Nassau County -Common Gallinule

[Stephane Perreault]

I saw a bird at 11am at Mill Pond in Bellemore that was Most likely the common 
Gallinule that Joe Landesberg found last week. The bird was not visible when I 
left.

Mid size gray waterbird, feeding on a patch of vegetation on the surface of 
water. The body was wide. The neck was long and slender.  The bill was thick 
conical, and had a down curved look to it, not duck-like. Wish I had better 
lighting, because I could not pick up color or pattern on the plumage because 
of the direct sunlight (other than a first overall gray look). 

The bird was eating at the surface of the water.  It dove once in a 5 minute 
period, and resurfaced about 10 feet away, a few seconds later.  

Observed in middle of pond, but it was not there when I got to the pond.  Not 
seen when I stopped by yesterday either. 

There was a 7am eBird report of this bird today, at this location.  This bird 
might be coming in out of the thick pond vegetation.

Good luck,

Stephane

[nysbirds-l] Central Park Clay-colored Sparrow

[Karen Fung]

Matthew Rymkiewicz reported a CCSP at the Grassy Knoll ~7:40am. It was 
subsequently flushed by a dogger. Am there now trying to relocate. 
The Grassy Knoll is at the north end of the park -- just north of the NE ball 
field and south of the Wildflower Meadow/102nd St transverse. The closest park 
entrance is 101st and 5th Ave

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach West End White Crowned Sparrows, warblers (today)

[Tyler Goldstein]

I've been here before sunrise and have seen lots of activity already.  Lots
of warblers including several Blackburnians, Black Throated Greens and
Blues, Bay Breasted, and a Worm Eating. 2 White Crowned Sparrows at the
turnaround.  Also saw a warbler that I couldn't identify.  It looked like a
Black Throated Green but didn't have a black throat (at the Coast Guard
hedgerow). I will try to relocate it and get a photo,  Great day to be out
birding!
