[nysbirds-l] Cupsogue Update

2020-07-13 Thread Shaibal Mitra 
To Andrew's good news from Jamaica Bay, where we may now realistically hope for 
better habitat this season, I am pleased to add that shorebirds are moving well 
on Long Island at present.

Today, at the Moriches Bay flats north of Cupsogue County Park, Suffolk County, 
Patricia Lindsay and I enjoyed the sights and sounds of hundreds of 
Short-billed Dowitchers (including several well-marked prairie-breeding 
hendersoni) and smaller but good numbers of Least and Semipalmated 
Sandpipers--many in active migration from east to west. 

Highlights included a Whimbrel (also seen earlier in the day by Doug Futuyma), 
eight Western Sandpipers in bright alternate plumage (a large count of adults 
at this site, where such birds are usually scarce and detected as singles), and 
flocks of migrating Lesser Yellowlegs totaling 46 (again, a good number for 
this sort of habitat, where this species seldom lingers long). The adult 
Eastern Willets are ganging up (we counted 84) and have been joined by 2-3 
rather worn-out looking Western Willets.

Doug reported six Royal Terns and 16 Piping Plovers, of which we connected with 
four and 11, respectively.

This is a reminder that Long Island's still-extensive marshes and flats will be 
hosting thousands of shorebirds over the next several months. Most of the best 
habitat is relatively inaccessible, but our regional birders are constantly 
discovering and re-discovering the many little seams and puddles around and 
near the big marshes, where we can still glimpse small fractions of the large 
and exhilarating shorebird flux, under the appropriate circumstances. The East 
Pond is, or can be, the greatest of these; but as we wait for it to come into 
shape there are lots of other places to look.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge East Pond Update...

2020-07-13 Thread Andrew Baksh 

The RBA on Friday, mentioned a problem with the East Pond water level.  It was 
an understatement. On Independence Day, Don Riepe and I visited the outflow on 
the bayside to check on the drainage and found that the valve was buried and 
hardly a trickle of water leaving the pond.

It would have been easy to give up on the Season given how high the water is 
but no!  I subsequently sent out an e-mail to NPS management who responded with 
a plan to dig out the valve this AM.

I am pleased to report that today, an NPS crew was on site as planned and this 
AM dug out the valve. The water is flowing quite well and we (Don, myself and 
NPS) will be keeping an eye on it to ensure it continues to flow unimpeded.

As you can imagine, wearing full waders on a hot day was not easy but the work 
was done nevertheless. A link to a short video clip which I posted on twitter 
can be viewed here. 
https://twitter.com/birdingdude/status/1282716449744838662?s=21

If you want to be kept updated on the pond and the level draw down, please send 
me a note offline. I will provide intermittent updates to the list serve but 
wait for some movement of the water level before doing so.

Many thanks to those of you who show a genuine interest in the management of 
the East Pond water. We are doing all we can to salvage the Shorebird season.

Cheers,

RE:[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

2020-07-13 Thread Larry Trachtenberg 
Sorry for second post - but one other thing.  The landfill grassland has 
undergone a major restoration project; so if you do visit CPP and want to walk 
the landfill stay on the two main "roads" only; the one over the center of the 
landfill and the one on the east (Phragmites) side of the landfill.  Signs to 
that effect are prominent.  (This includes photographers.)   Thank you.

Kestrels have returned to the posts on the landfill at Croton Point (I saw 
three this a.m.) - seems early, since as far as I know they do not breed in 
Westchester County.  Also the Purple Martin colony has done pretty well; many 
adults and young birds scouring the landfill this am.  It does appear 
grasshopper sparrow has bred and likely bobolink.  No rarities yet this summer 
in the park, although Caspian Tern (2) was seen at the train station yesterday 
for several hours until tide turned; a short tome visit from a yellow crowned 
night heron earlier this summer is pretty un-common on this side of the County. 
 Caspian is marked rare on e-bird but they are a regular visitor often both 
spring and fall migration.  We are mid-July so not sure what this visit was.

On a lepidopterist note, I "helped" out (using that word generously) on the 
Northern Westchester Butterfly County yesterday and in the Teatown area we had 
23 species (list below), although a few more skipper photos are being 
circulated for ID.  Skippers, seriously, ... if you thought fall warblers are 
tough to ID.

Good socially distanced birding,

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

2020-07-13 Thread Larry Trachtenberg 
Kestrels have returned to the posts on the landfill at Croton Point (I saw 
three this a.m.) - seems early, since as far as I know they do not breed in 
Westchester County.  Also the Purple Martin colony has done pretty well; many 
adults and young birds scouring the landfill this am.  It does appear 
grasshopper sparrow has bred and likely bobolink.  No rarities yet this summer 
in the park, although Caspian Tern (2) was seen at the train station yesterday 
for several hours until tide turned; a short tome visit from a yellow crowned 
night heron earlier this summer is pretty un-common on this side of the County. 
 Caspian is marked rare on e-bird but they are a regular visitor often both 
spring and fall migration.  We are mid-July so not sure what this visit was.

On a lepidopterist note, I "helped" out (using that word generously) on the 
Northern Westchester Butterfly County yesterday and in the Teatown area we had 
23 species (list below), although a few more skipper photos are being 
circulated for ID.  Skippers, seriously, ... if you thought fall warblers are 
tough to ID.

Good socially distanced birding,

[nysbirds-l] Recent information about Spruce Grouse in the Adirondacks

2020-07-13 Thread Robert Lewis 
In previous years some people have reported Spruce Grouse along Blue Mountain 
Road near Madawaska.  Any one try this year?  Any information would be 
appreciated.
