Re: [nysbirds-l] Storm Barrier meetings. Impact on water quality for Hudson River and Jamaica Bay. July 9, 10, 11.

[Joshua Malbin]

Thank you for sharing, Nancy! I will certainly be at one of the meetings
tomorrow and I strongly urge others to be at one of them too. Speaking only
for myself, this seems like exactly the kind of massive, misguided,
environmentally destructive project that the Army Corps of Engineers loves
to build and has a long track record of building. And once projects like
this get started they are hard to stop. There is a less destructive
alternative included among the options, and those of us who care about
preserving our coastal areas need to show up to advocate for it.

[nysbirds-l] great shearwaters: Gardiners Bay/Block Island area

[Bruce Horwith]

I fished yesterday behind Gardiners Island (south of the Gull islands)
among hundreds of terns (common, roseate and a few least) and gulls (mostly
herring and great black backed), but there also were several great
shearwater present. This is only the second time in the last 20 years (last
year being the first) that I have seen shearwaters in this area this time
of year. That plus the presence of a seal in July (not sure whether it is a
late stayer or an early arrival), suggest changing conditions in this part
of the world.

[nysbirds-l] Van Cortland Park, Bronx

[Jack Rothman]

A beautiful and cool Saturday in the park, with a friendly bunch of birders, as 
always. 

This was the usual Saturday morning walk. Two more Saturdays and the walks will 
end for the summer.

Looking forward to “Puddle Birding” at Orchard Beach, as soon as shorebirds 
start arriving. The broken underground pipe at the oval has not been repaired 
and should make for a great freshwater source.

Mourning Dove
Red-winged Blackbirds
Barn Swallow
Tree Swallow
Common Grackle
Song Sparrow
American Goldfinch
Common Yellowthroat
House Finch
Gray Catbird
Yellow Warbler
Cedar Waxwing
Canada Goose
Mallard
Blue Jay
Northern Cardinal (H)
Mute Swan
Warbling Vireo
Great-blue Heron
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Great Egret
Wood Duck
Red-tailed Hawk
