[nysbirds-l] Bare bones...almost !

2019-03-28 Thread robert adamo 
The earliest I could check on the White-tailed Deer carcass today was 1800.
Just as I pulled over to park, a Red-tailed Hawk parked itself next to the
deer. A moment later it was actively feeding on it...or at least, was
trying to !  I say this because, after just a couple of minutes the bird
took off. I immediately looked skyward, expecting to see at least 1 Bald
Eagle descending to reclaim its cache - but that was not the case !
Bringing the deer back into focus, I couldn't help but see 3 bare rib-bones
pointing upwards, with bits of fur on the other parts of the body that were
visible to me. Before leaving, a 2nd Red-tail flew-by, but did not seem
interested in the deer.

Cheers,
Bob
P.S...En-route to the above, I had a single Turkey Vulture fly over the
Middle Road/Osborn Ave/Horton Ave traffic circle...could it have been
"Lonesome George" ?

  Grand Island. One was heard before dawn, near
  the Heron Point Apartments on Grand Island
  Blvd.

  The Hamburg Hawkwatch began daily coverage of
  flights over Lakeside Cemetery this month.
  During the first two weeks - almost 2000 TURKEY
  VULTURES, plus 8 BALD EAGLES, 25 RED-SHOULDERED
  HAWKS, 69 RED-TAILED HAWKS, one ROUGH-LEGGED
  HAWK and 3 MERLINS. As of March 25, no reports
  of BROAD-WINGED HAWKS. Visitors are welcome at
  the hawkwatch, off Camp Road in Hamburg.

  Other raptor reports - COOPER'S HAWK with prey
  on Pine Avenue in Niagara Falls. NORTHERN
  HARRIER at the BOCES Center in West Seneca.
  MERLIN over Sheridan and Bailey in Amherst.
  And, a gray-phase EASTERN SCREECH-OWL in a nest
  box in Pendleton.

  On Lake Ontario at Point Breeze, RED-NECKED
  GREBE, RED-THROATED LOON and L. BLACK-B. GULL.
  TUNDRA SWANS at several locations, and in
  Carlton, two COMMON REDPOLLS migrating past
  Lakeside Beach State Park.

  There will be a BOS field trip to the Lake

Re: [nysbirds-l] The tale of "Robert the Right", along with the saga of "Robert the Wrong"

2019-03-28 Thread Anne Lazarus 
My friend and I also stayed at the little motel right by, and we saw it
between 7:15 and 7:40 am.  It may be molting into alternate plumage now.
We also birded the Shawangunk Grasslands on the way back and saw
Rough-legged Hawk and Short-eared Owl so far away. We also saw a flock
of Pine Siskins fly by the area where we saw the sparrow in Downsville.

I second Bob’s suggestion. Three of us stayed at the Downsville Motel when we 
went up for the Golden-crowned. It saved us from a middle of the night drive up 
to be at the sparrow spot at sunup. The bird, if it is still there, has 
consistently been an early morning individual.

Re:[nysbirds-l] [MidHudsonBirds] Bald Eagle nest - Hudson, Columbia County

2019-03-28 Thread Larry Federman 
Thanks for the heads-up, Rich.

In the past, DEC put up “No Landing” signs and other eagle nesting warning 
signs on Rogers Island (under the Rip van Winkle Bridge) and on other dredge 
spoil islands in the river. Can’t hurt to ask them to do this again, but as 
usual, enforcement is always an issue.

If you are familiar with the situation, you'll know that this eagle nest will 
not be a secret to anyone, especially when the young hatch and activity at that 
nest increases.


With the boating season about to begin (has begun?), the more concerned eyes 
there the better. 


That park is crowded with cars and boats on a nice spring day - like yesterday.


I already advised one gauker that flying his drone over to get a picture would 
likely result in having his drone confiscated and himself with a hefty fine.

The eagles had no idea what they were getting themselves into when they decided 
to build their nest there.

It's now up to us to see to their safekeeping.

human intrusion, which was all too common, both accidental and intentional.

  Eagles had much more Federal protection then as well (Endangered Species), 
and with far fewer nests, viewing them was a much more unique and rewarding 
experience.

  Now we have what seems like a nest in every riverside tree, every back 
country pond, every upland forest, and they fly among us garnering far less 
attention.

  While our collective trust of human and what they are capable of has not

seems to be a fair change in our approach to secrecy ... as long as we still 
maintain diligence for their safety and privacy.

  There's a very visible Bald Eagle nest directly across from the parking area 
and boat launch at the Riverside Park (go around the train station & cross the 
RR tracks to the park). 


  It is so visible that everyone who stops at this popular park will see it.


  I can imagine the commotion when the eggs hatch and two or three juvenile 
eaglets are hopping around on the nest and tree limbs.

  Let's hope that the viewing public respects the eagles - especially after the 
boating season begins and picnickers visit the island under the nest.
