[nysbirds-l] ADMIN: NYSbirds-L Etiquette

2017-11-26 Thread Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes 
Good evening,

This message is for those of you who may be new to the NYSbirds-L eList or who 
may be unaware of eList etiquette, especially for an eList with a substantial 
subscriber base and broad online readership.

NYSbirds-L is comprised of over 1,250 subscribed email addresses, whose email 
addresses receive messages posted to NYSbirds-L. There are countless hundreds 
to thousands of additional persons interested in sightings posted to NYSbirds-L 
who read postings to NYSbirds-L by using other forms of online archives for 
this eList (without being a subscriber).

When you post a message to NYSbirds-L, please make sure your intent is for the 
thousands of people to receive and read your message. If this is not the 
intent, please do not post to the entire eList. Instead, consider directing the 
message only to the person for which the message is intended. Sometimes this 
happens by accident and it can understandably be quite embarrassing – that’s 
okay, it has happened to the best of us.

That being said, if an inappropriate message is posted to the entire eList with 
intent, don’t do it again. You will likely be placed into moderated status, 
often delaying, if not preventing future postings from you.

As to the misunderstanding about eBird. Many birders throughout the World now 
use eBird as a tool to record their bird sightings for both personal use and 
for the greater good of better understanding bird populations and movements; 
whether simply birding in your backyard, visiting your local community birding 
spot, or while visiting a place completely new to you, eBird can be a great way 
to record what you see while also getting the sighting into a database without 
being connected to any one specific birding social media (eList, Facebook, RBA 
texting community, etc.).

As a result of the use of eBird as a data reporting tool, it may seem rather 
exclusive, but it is not! After subscribing to eBird and establishing your 
account, you can set up personalized eBird alerts to be sent to your email 
address with a county-by-county configuration. New sightings that are deemed 
noteworthy or unusual (by eBird) are automatically sent to those configured 
eBird account email addresses. This is how the recent sighting of a Townsend’s 
Solitaire was reported to NYSbirds-L. An individual unable to post their 
sighting to NYSbirds-L had posted their sighting (with pictures) directly into 
eBird. The eBird alert went out to several people and a fellow NYSbirds-L eList 
subscriber took it upon themselves to alert the rest of the NYSbirds-L eList 
community of the rarity. This is how good word is spread.

Please don’t disrespect or lambast people for how the word of a sighting gets 
distributed. Ask yourself this: would you rather hear about a sighting late, or 
not at all? Without everyone stepping in for the greater good, very few of us 
would hear about great sightings such as this Townsend’s Solitaire.

Thanks and good birding to those who have time to get out there!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

[nysbirds-l] Hammonds Flycatcher

2017-11-26 Thread Sy Schiff 
There is an excellent report in the “Kingbird”, Vol. 52 I, p 2-7,  March 2002.  
 Go to the New York State Ornithological association  web site and look under 
records and resources  for Publications, then  look under Kingbird archives.  
All the Kingbird Issues (except for recent ones) are available on line.

Doug Futuyma and John Fritz give a description of the Jones Beach bird and a 
point by point analysis of each and every  other conflicting bird.  They did 
all the work and culled all the info from literature and experts and presented 
their findings. 
You don’t need any books after viewing this and looking at Deborah Allen’s 
excellent photos.

This is this Empidonax Flycatcher found at the Riviera in Central Park by Linda

also saw the bird later at the Summer House Meadow/Swampy Pin Oak. The bird was 
initially reported on the Manhattan Bird Alert on twitter (#birdcp

the New York Birders Facebook Group where a discussion is on-going.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Unidentified Western Flycatcher Central Park

Menachem and his mom were lucky to see the bird, but when the rest of us
got to the location three minutes later it was gone again. Not seen since.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Unidentified Western Flycatcher Central Park

2017-11-26 Thread Andrew Baksh 
I just picked up the post and subsequently looked at the available online 
photos. The very tiny bill look very good for a Hammond's Flycatcher. Just in 
case anyone needed motivation to get out to Central Park.

Please post both positive and negative updates including directions to the 
location seen/refound.

Thanks Menachem for posting this to the list serves.

Cheers,

[nysbirds-l] Common Tern 11-24-17

2017-11-26 Thread Joseph Fell 
Sorry for the late post - I started this email and failed to send it!

I had a Common Tern foraging on the Niagara River on the east side of
Beaver Island SP late Friday afternoon. The best views that I had were from
the small half-circle spit of land that surrounds dock at that end of the
park.

[nysbirds-l] Pintails at Massapequa Lake

2017-11-26 Thread Joseph O'Sullivan 
I spent yesterday at the Massapequa Preserve in Nassau County Long Island.

The highlight was very large flock of pintail ducks. I counted 18 males in
breeding plumage. At the distance they were at I could only positively
identify the adult males. Also notable were 5 great blue herons and a late
kingfisher.
