[nysbirds-l] Linnaean Society of NY Program, January 8, 2019, at the American Museum of Natural History

[Richard Fried]

On Tuesday evening, January 8th, 2019 the Linnaean Society of New York 
2018/2019 Speaker Program 
 will feature 
two new presentations: 

6:00 pm — Sex, Science, and the Way We Bird Today – Rick Wright
Birding in the Anglo-American world is about one thing: identification, the 
assignment of the right name to the right organism. It doesn’t have to be that 
way, and it hasn’t always been that way. A bit over a century ago, “we” made 
the conscious decision to transform birding from a broad natural historical 
pursuit into a much more narrowly classificatory enterprise. This was part of 
an effort to re-masculinize birdwatching, which had in some views degenerated 
into an activity suitable only for women and children. Originally meant to make 
birding more scientific, the success of this effort in fact drove a wedge 
between birding and ornithology, which had been largely complementary 
disciplines for more than a century.

Rick Wright, a native of southeast Nebraska, is the author of the American 
Birding Association Field Guide to Birds of New Jersey, the American Birding 
Association Field Guide to Birds of Arizona and is a tour leader for VENT 
(Victor Emanuel Nature Tours). 

7:30 pm — How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog) – Lee Dugatkin
For the last six decades Lyudmila Trut has directed a dedicated team of 
researchers in Siberia that has been domesticating silver foxes to replay the 
evolution of the dog in real time. Inside this tale of path-breaking science in 
the midst of the often brutal -35° F winters of Siberia is hidden a remarkable 
collaboration between an older, freethinking scientific genius, the geneticist 
Dmitri Belyaev, and a trusting but gutsy young woman. Together, Lyudmila Trut 
and Belyaev (who died of cancer in 1985) risked not just their careers but to 
an extent their lives to make scientific history. Biologist and science 
historian Lee Dugatkin tells the inside story of the science, politics, 
adventure, and love behind it all. Like a set of Russian nesting dolls, How to 
Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog) opens to reveal story after story, each embedded 
within the one that preceded it.

Dr. Dugatkin is a Professor and University Scholar in the Department of Biology 
at The University of Louisville. His main areas of research interest are the 
evolution of social behavior, and the history of science.

Both presentations are free and will be held in the Linder Theater on the first 
floor of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Enter at West 
77th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue. All welcome!

Complete details of these exciting presentations and the rest of the 2018/2019 
program can be found here:

[nysbirds-l] Golden-crowned Sparrow - update 1-6-19

[Richard Guthrie]

The GCSP made several appearances at the usual locations this morning.

The first stop, at around 8 AM was the bushy brush on the north side of
River Road at the intersection of Depot Street.

It then flew over the the porch and adjacent shrubs in the yard of 44 Depot
Street.

Unfortunately, a noisy pick-up truck pulled into the adjacent driveway,
spooking everything out of the yard.

The sparrow stayed away for about 45 minutes, then refound under the
shrubbery the next door yard.

After that, the sparrow made infrequent appearances up until around noon,
after which I don't think it had been seen (although there may not have
been anyone looking in the afternoon).

River Road is surprisingly busy with town highway department trucks coming
and going to the garage just west of Depot Street. These are huge trucks
with bigger snowplows on them. It would be wise to give them plenty of room
by not parking on River Road (as requested in one of the initial posting
about the sparrow), Also, some of the residents on Depot Street are showing
signs of wear. So, please remember to not park on Depot street and do not
take liberties with movement and positioning on Depot Street. As a
reminder, parking is down on Bridge Street (just past the old, 1736,
cemetery by the neat, 1854, covered bridge).

As a side note, I went to the pancake breakfast at the firehouse (it was a
fundraiser for the family - wife, two kids -  of one of the young men in
town who was fatally injured in a work accident). The town folk there were
extremely friendly and everyone I spoke with knew about the famous sparrow.
Some even had pictures of it on their cellphones.

The neighbors are faithfully putting seed and suet cakes out for the birds,
much of which was donated by Lance and visiting birders. So if the
White-throats are happy, the Golden-crown should stick around.

FWIW: There is a motel (Downsville Motel) right on the corner of River
Road, just down from Depot Street.

Good Luck if you get to go.

[nysbirds-l] 3 Alcid sp ++ Shinnecock Inlet/Suffolk County

[Sean Sime]

The first 2.5 hours of daylight were extremely productive at Shinnecock
Inlet this morning. The amount of birds moving offshore as well as in the
bay was incredible.
The Razorbill show continues to be strong with hundreds streaming by in
groups ranging in size from 5-30 birds(today heading east). Early on one of
these groups had at least 1, possibly 3 Dovekie moving with it.
The Thick-billed Murre continues near the mouth of the inlet along the
western jetty. The female Harlequin was along the western side of the same
jetty all morning. Two Black-legged Kittiwakes were offshore just west of
the inlet.
The Glaucous Gull continues at Triton Lane and the female King Eider was in
the bay between the inlet and the Ponquogue Bridge before a young Bald
Eagle scattered the ducks.

I looked for American Bittern and Sparrows along Dune Road and came up
empty on both.

Checklist with a few images can be viewed at the following link.

Good birding,

[nysbirds-l] Lions at Breezy Point

[Rob Bate]

Sorry- auto correct, no reading glasses and 20 mph winds - I meant Loons, both 
RE-necked and common. 

Also, the 30+ Razorbills turned out to be at least 120, maybe more. The frenzy 
did abate but there were still a few, at least by the jetty.  One White-winged 
Scoter in the bay side gave us a scorer sweep.  20 Common Eider by the jetty.

[nysbirds-l] Razorbills - shinnecock inlet

[leormand]

Hampton bays - shinnecock inlet. West side of the inlet near the ocean there 
are good numbers of razorbills mixed in with common eiders. Razorbills are 
feeding on silversides. 

Also seen are usuals, black scoters, long-tailed ducks, DC cormorants and a 
variety of gulls and seals. 

No sign of murre.

[nysbirds-l] Three phoebe species?

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
This morning I birded Inwood Hill Park with David Burg and Richard Aracil
and near the northern part of the Ridge Trail, Richard's sharp eyes found
an EASTERN PHOEBE.

If anyone, who is out twitching the Say's and Black Phoebes, wants to get a
triple phoebe day - swing by IHP in northern Manhattan and you might get
lucky...

good birding,

[nysbirds-l] Dark downy

[Peter Reisfeld]

Today I saw a woodpecker at my backyard suet feeder for the second time in the 
past few weeks.  It appears to be a downy woodpecker but with very dark 
coloring on the face and underside.  I know that Pacific downies can be 
somewhat buffy in these areas, but none of the photos I have seen are nearly as 
dark as this bird. I assume it is a mutant variant, but thought I would post it 
to see if there were any other ideas. Link to a photo is here:

Wishing you good birds, 

Peter
