RE: [nysbirds-l] Awareness - Site Fidelity

[Steve Walter]

I like photographing oddball geese when the opportunity is there. Many are 
quite interesting looking and get you wondering about the genetics. The 
Canarsie Pier birds are certainly that (and beautiful), but I can’t see much 
about them that says Brant. Anyway, I deliberately discounted oddballs from the 
discussion. Who knows what’s going on with them? If we focus on undeniably wild 
birds, especially the Greenland / Old World vagrants (and maybe we should add 
unmated), how many site fidelters (my new term) are we left with? It would make 
sense that in following winters, a once vagrant Pink-footed Goose, for example, 
gets it right and follows a flock of Pink-footed Geese to the correct wintering 
grounds.

While Steve is correct that wintering geese are often highly mobile, traveling 
large distances between roosting lakes and feeding grounds throughout each 
winter, I know of four additional birds at two additional sites that have shown 
strong sight fidelity. I have documented the return of a recognizable 
individual Cackling Goose and an associated Canada (possible mate?) at 
Hendrickson Park in Nassau for four winters now. Many Brooklyn borders are 
familiar of course with the pair of Brant x Snow Goose hybrids (affectionately 
dubbed “Bro Geese”) at Canarsie Pier. There are exceptions to every rule!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Awareness - Site Fidelity

[Steve Walter]

I have to disagree in the case of wintering geese. I don't keep tabs on
every rare goose that turns up on Long Island. I best remember those on the
western part of the island, especially those that I've photographed. Looking
at my records of photographed rarities (and even Snow Geese in unusual
places), and to the best of my recollection otherwise, I can't find examples
of geese that have returned to the same site in a following winter - but for
one exception. This was the believed to be Brant - Cackling Goose hybrid
that returned to Flushing Meadows for many years. What's more, it appears to
me that geese will relocate during the same winter. Lots of examples of
rarities first appearing at a site in mid-winter, while others disappear. 

 

That said, it should be expected that in highly favored congregation points
- a Belmont Lake for example - more total geese would lead to a greater
chance of a same rare species reoccurrence (which might or might not be the
same individual).  

 

One could also pay attention to banded Canada Geese. I sort of do, but I
don't have well organized records to refer to at the moment.

[nysbirds-l] Painted Bunting - Brooklyn Bridge Park

[pmaxp]

The bird was present this morning in the grassy area directly east of Pier 5. 
It was actively feeding on the seed heads of the ‘bluestem grass’ in loose 
association with two Field Sparrows. Several birders were present including the 
discoverer; thank you Heather. Happy New Year to all.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach Painted Bunting, Dec31 end of year

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) arrived at the Gatsby Playground site as a group 
of birders was leaving. They told us where the PAINTED BUNTING was and we soon 
found it. It fed while we watched, but within the reeds making pictures always 
obscured by branches and stems.  No problem, we’re birders not photographers.

Next stops, field #6, but no Iceland Gull nor a Black-headed Gull at Jones 
Island bar where we stopped. The road leaving the West End #2 lot, overlooked a 
field surrounded on one side by photographers, lots of them.  We looked where 
they were looking and saw the SNOWY OWL that has been hanging out there.  It 
was resting on the ground.  (There is no need to hide its location. The world 
was there all taking pictures).

[nysbirds-l] Awareness - Site Fidelity

[Richard Guthrie]

There's lots of knowledge out there about site fidelity among birds - same
individuals returning each spring for nesting, and identifiable individuals
returning to the same wintering grounds.

There are some notable examples, such as an individual of a particularly
rare species that returned each year. From around our area, there are
these: Lesser Black-backed Gull, Iceland Gull, Barrow's Goldeneye, Eared
Grebe, and so on.

Bird banders know that from returning birds banded years earlier.

The reason I bring this up here is that we can anticipate similar visitors.

The Pink-footed Goose comes to mind.

Naomi Lloyd found the one in Columbia County a couple of years ago. Then
one (ok here's the stretch - maybe the same one ! ?) appeared right across
the river in The Greene County last year.

So are there others?

Sure there are...

Do you know of a particular, individually identifiable bird, that has
returned to your yard, patch, beach, park, etc. ?

Let me know by sharing the info - privately for now..

I hope to put together a compilation - with appropriate acknowledgments, in
a upcoming edition of Kingbird, the birding journal of the NYS
Ornithological Association.

Let's keep the page turners at the edge of their seats by sharing your
information to me directly rather than putting it out piecemeal on line.

Of particular interest are also those nesting, slightly out of range, long
distant migrants, such as returning Orchard Oriole, as well as the better
known (or not) examples as mentioned.

Fun-on, Folks
