Greetings! This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, February 2,
2018 at 8:00 pm.

Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties we have not been able to
record the tape recently.

The highlights of today’s tape are BARNACLE, PINK-FOOTED, ROSS’S and
GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE, TUNDRA SWAN, BARROW’S GOLDENEYE, HARLEQUIN
DUCK, KING EIDER, EURASIAN WIGEON, EARED GREBE and BLACK-HEADED and
GLAUCOUS GULLS.

With waterfowl providing most of this week’s highlights, new for the area
was a BARNACLE GOOSE showing up Monday on Playland Lake in Rye, Westchester
County.  The goose daily except for Wednesday, when it was on a nearby mill
pond, has been roosting in the morning on the lake ice with about 400
CANADAS and an accompanying CACKLING GOOSE; the birds tend to arrive around
8 am and are generally gone by noon, though the times do vary.  The
BARNACLE was seen leaving a local golf course late this afternoon, headed
to an unknown overnight location.  Interesting that this BARNACLE and
CACKLING pair is presumably the same pair seen initially in Western
Massachusetts and later around Westport, Connecticut before moving to Rye.

The PINK-FOOTED GOOSE was still visiting the Deep Hollow Ranch in Montauk
at least to Monday, usually seen on the pastures on the south side of Route
27 east of town.  If not there, check the Montauk Downs Golf Course.

A ROSS’S GOOSE has been roosting overnight recently on the lake at Belmont
Lake State Park and has been found feeding with CANADAS during the day at
St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale, west of Belmont Lake.

A GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE was seen at least to Monday on Tung Ting Pond
in Centerport.

A TUNDRA SWAN was still present on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife
Refuge through Wednesday.

Among the ducks, a drake BARROW’S GOLDENEYE was spotted Thursday off Crab
Meadow Beach in Northport, while the female in Fire Island Inlet was still
in a COMMON GOLDENEYE flock as viewed from Oak Beach Road last Saturday.

A young male KING EIDER was still present yesterday around the jetties off
Point Lookout, best approached from Point Lookout Town Park, and a decent
number of HARLEQUIN DUCKS also continue there.  Another young male KING was
present at Old Field Point up to Thursday at least, this at the end of Old
Field Road.

And drake EURASIAN WIGEON continue on the Sayville Mill Pond on the north
side of Montauk Highway and at Mill Creek on the southwest side of Staten
Island.

Getting back to Old Field Point, an adult BLACK-HEADED GULL spotted there
Monday was still present today, and other GULLS there featured up to three
ICELAND and a LESSER BLACK-BACKED.  An adult BLACK-HEADED GULL also
continues at Five Islands Park in New Rochelle, and an immature visited the
middle parking lot off the Belt Parkway at Gravesend Bay in Brooklyn
Saturday.

A GLAUCOUS GULL was still on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Refuge Sunday,
and out east single GLAUCOUS GULLS were noted at Montauk Point Saturday and
Orient Point Tuesday.

An ICELAND GULL visited Central Park Reservoir last Saturday, with another
at Crab Meadow Beach Thursday.

Five RAZORBILLS were off Montauk Point Thursday, with a single spotted at
Breezy Point Saturday.

An EARED GREBE was still near the docks off the western end of Oak Beach
Road yesterday, and last Saturday an EARED GREBE was spotted at Pelham Bay
Park in the Bronx, this bird off Rodman’s Neck and spotted there again
Thursday as viewed from a marina just over the City Island bridge.  One of
a few regional RED-NECKED GREBES has also been around City Island, with
others noted off Floyd Bennett Field, Riis Park and at Timber Point in
Great River.

As part of the nice continuing invasion of SNOWY OWLS, last Sunday four
could be seen along the marshes and offshore islands as viewed from Jamaica
Bay’s West Pond.

Thanks to Ardith for being able to post the URL. Something I couldn’t get to

Also thanks to Angus Wilson and Andrew Block for their input. We, as the 
Birding community, need to get ahead of this, as Angus notes,  before the final 
proposal which is why I posted it.

[nysbirds-l] New Park in Jamaica Bay and list of birds from there for anyone interested

2018-02-02 Thread Andrew Block 
I'm glad to hear they are finally making those former dumps into a park.  I 
just hope they don't develop them to much as they are excellent for birds as 
they are now.  I worked on both of the landfills for a year in '06 and '07 
doing bird surveys and hazing of geese and gulls and know first hand what great 
birds can be found there.  In only a year I had 183 species of birds on the 
fills and surrounding waters including some great rarities.  If anyone is 
interested I have a complete list of all the animals I inventoried there.

Re: [nysbirds-l] New NYS Jamaica Bay Park

2018-02-02 Thread Angus Wilson 
Rather than discuss access to the website I think we should cut to the
chase and consider the specifics - as far as they are knowable - of the
proposal itself. What is the plan exactly? Will it be good or bad from a
birding and wildlife perspective? Have local environmental groups been
consulted with regard to park design?

>From the posted statement the state government is working in partnership
with the National Park Service and the City of New York to create a new
407-acre state park on the north shore of Jamaica Bay in Brooklyn (Kings
Co). This includes the former Pennsylvania Avenue and Fountain Avenue
Landfills. Anyone driving or more usually crawling in bumper-to-bumper
traffic along the Belt Parkway will have passed these raised mounds, which
have been capped and planted with grasses and some trees. In the past
Rough-legged Hawks were sometimes visible hovering over the landfill or
perched on small trees and venting pipes but I don't know if that's still
true. I remember reports of things like Yellow-headed Blackbird during the
capping work when the site was very much off limits to the public.

According to the announcement "The park will feature opportunities
for biking, hiking, water-based activities such as fishing, kayaking, and
waterfront environmental education, and will include restrooms, shade
structures and concessions. With National Park Service approval, phase 1 is
expected to fully open in 2019. Later phases will include construction of a
connecting bridge between the two sites, dedicated environmental education
facilities, and an amphitheater, creating a unique and expansive cultural
and natural space for the community.

The 407-acre site, which has never been open to the public, includes the
former Pennsylvania Avenue Landfill and Fountain Avenue Landfill, which
were operated by NYC Department of Sanitation from 1956-1983 and deeded to
the National Park Service as part of Gateway National Recreation Area in
1974. In 2002, the NYC Department of Environmental Protection began a $235
million site remediation that included the installation of an impermeable
cap and below-ground barrier to support future use.

In addition, more than 1.2 million cubic yards of clean soil, up to four
feet deep, was spread across the site and more than 35,000 trees and shrubs
were planted. The addition of prairie grass and native plantings prevents
erosion and has created a diverse ecosystem of more than 400 acres of
coastal meadows, wetlands, and woodlands that have attracted local
wildlife. The full remediation and restoration of the site was completed
with significant community input in 2009."

The vision is for a natural preserve featuring 'open rolling hills' and
'3.5 miles of waterfront, connecting city and nature, and asphalt to
meadows'. From a birding perspective this sounds like a welcome increase in
the open landscape habitat, which is otherwise scarce within the city
boundaries, especially the densely urban Kings County (aka Brooklyn) but a
lot will depend on how it's managed. Hopefully the grassland will be
maintained as grassland and not allowed to revert to scrub or be converted
to sports fields or dry ski slopes. I'm guessing the park might also give
improved viewing access to the channels, mud flats, islands and tidal
marshes of the northern parts of Jamaica Bay, which are generally under
birded because of limited access. Again a boon for birders, perhaps. It
would have been helpful if a map was included in the announcement to give a
better idea of scope. Without more specifics or a map I'm left wondering if
the park includes some of the creeks that flow into the bay?

Hopefully NYSBIRDS_L subscribers living in the area will have more
information and will be giving thought to the possibilities.

Before the Harlem Piers park was constructed, when there was a live sewer outlet in the Hudson River at the west end of 125th street (very visible), Canvasbacks collected there every winter. I don't unfortunately have any numbers in my old notes, but there could often be several dozen. They disappeared when the sewer treatment plant came on line.  Bob PaxtonOn Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 7:15 PM, Thomas Fiore  wrote:Thursday, 1st February, 2018 -

RE: [nysbirds-l] Playland Lake (Rye) Barnacle Goose continues

2018-02-02 Thread Larry Trachtenberg 

Seems like 9-Noon at Playland Lake is the optimum time for the 
Barnacle/Cackling duo; and as for yesterday’s jetty/groyn (or groin) chat; 
thank you for teaching me a new word, always appreciated.

Teatown’s Hudson River Eaglefest is next Saturday 2/10. There have been more 
than 160 bald eagles counted in a few hour stretch from Ansville Circle 
(Peekskill) down to Croton Point Park (Croton-on-Hudson) in the last few weeks. 
 Info  at link below for those who may be interested in coming or sending some 
of your non-birding friends “up the river” next Saturday.   There will be 
spotters with scopes at various prime locations.  Saw Mill River Audubon will 
have a heated tent set up with hot chocolate at George’s Island (Montrose).
https://www.teatown.org/events/eaglefest/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs9qyldqH2QIVz4uzCh3gIQPMEAAYASAAEgIjVfD_BwE

Notwithstanding all of those Eagles, go Pats.
