[nysbirds-l] West End, Jones Beach State Park Birds (Nassau Co.)

[Ken Feustel]

This morning I took a walk along the West End jetty, as well as on the ocean 
front east to the swale. Highlights included two Razorbills, four Purple 
Sandpipers on the jetty, a female King Eider alighting briefly on the ocean 
before flying west toward the West End jetty, and a flyby Snowy Owl. More 
expected species were my first Fall Horned Grebe, and a good late morning 
flight of Red-throated Loons and Black Scoter. Passerines were in low numbers 
or missing entirely.

Cheers,

Ken Feustel

[nysbirds-l] Lake Ontario Plain - Orleans and Niagara Counties

[Willie D'Anna]

Four birders met at Point Breeze on Lake Ontario in central Orleans County
for a morning of birding. We hit various spots along the lake from there to
Olcott Beach in Niagara County. Lake-watching highlights included a good
flight of RED-THROATED LOONS, many Horned and six RED-NECKED GREBES (off of
Shadigee), all three scoters, and a surprising 14 KING EIDERS on the water
off of Olcott Beach. The eiders soon took flight and headed west. This is
the largest flock of this species that I have ever seen in New York, though
I have seen more in the western part of Lake Ontario in Ontario, Canada.
Eight other KING EIDERS were seen by Andy Guthrie at Hamlin Beach SP today
and Greg Lawrence found an adult male at the east spit of Braddock Bay. So,
it was quite the day for this species in Western NY.

 

Our other big highlight was a SNOWY OWL at the Circle R Fruit Farm in the
Town of Carlton, Orleans County. This owl was on telephone poles right next
to the road and also in the nearby orchards. The local Red-tails were not
too pleased.

 

At the Yates grasslands on Lakeshore Road in the Town of Yates, there was
one ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK, two NORTHERN HARRIERS, and a NORTHERN SHRIKE. The
shrike was in the same hedge row where we saw one back on October 28.

 

Good birding!

Willie, Celeste Morien, Brian Morse, and Corey Callaghan (back briefly from
Australia)
