Re: [nysbirds-l] Staten Island Black-necked Stilt Update - YES
Observed also from 4:10 pm to 4:31 pm in same area. As Jeff observed yesterday, the bird was resting when I first arrived. It started to feed in a channel just as I was ready to leave, disappearing behind a small "island" of iva and phrags. Sweet bird!

I happened upon the Mew Gull in Brooklyn in it's favored location this morning at 9:30 a.m., and it was still there actively preening when I left at 9:50 a.m. It was on the rock outcropping, not the grass just beyond the pedestrian bridge.

This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, January 8th 2010 at 7pm. The highlights of today's tape are MEW GULL, BLACK GUILLEMOT, BROWN PELICAN, BARROW'S GOLDENEYE, GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE, SNOWY OWL, a pelagic trip announcement and much more. The adult European form of MEW GULL referred to as Common Gull has been seen in Brooklyn as recently as Wednesday and Thursday off the promenade along the Belt Parkway. Both days it appeared near or just southeast of the yellow pedestrian bridge over the Belt Parkway near Bay 16th Street. Times of sightings were around 9am Wednesday and after 10a Thursday with the bird also reported around noon each day. Its presence may be tidally related and it is thought to be best about 2 to 3 hours before high tide. This could be pinned down with a few additional sightings. So please keep noting the time and duration of appearances. Probably the best areas to park would be in a lot next to the Bensonhurst ball fields and Kohl's Shopping Center accessed from the eastbound Belt Parkway and requiring a walk west on the promenade to the footbridge or on local streets near the footbridge. High tide Saturday is around 2pm. The Southampton BLACK GUILLEMOT was last seen last Friday before the area got totally iced in. A SNOWY OWL was seen so far last Friday only on the east side of Shinnecock Inlet visible at times from the west side of the inlet. The Bayville drake BARROW'S GOLDENEYE was spotted with Common Goldeneye last Friday east of Bayville near the entrance to Centre Island it's favored location for the last couple of years. Completing what was the worst trio of Christmas Count period weekends in a long time the Southern Nassau Count on Saturday managed 122 species highlights featuring CACKLING GOOSE, 3 TUNDRA SWANS 2 continuing at Massapequa Preserve on the Pittsburgh Avenue Pond, Eurasian GREEN-WINGED TEAL on Millburn Pond in Baldwin, 254 COMMON EIDER, 8 HARLEQUIN DUCKS 6 continuing at Point Lookout, RED- NECKED GREBE, TRICOLORED HERON and 2 AMERICAN BITTERNS, 17 AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS, LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL, an adult ICELAND GULL at Jones Beach West End parking field 2, 2 RAZORBILLS, HOUSE WREN, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, PINE WARBLER, 4 SALTMARSH SPARROWS and BALTIMORE ORIOLE. On the Orient Count on Saturday a drake BARROW'S GOLDENEYE and a HARLEQUIN DUCK were noted along the Route 25 causeway between East Marion and Orient. The Captree Count on Sunday netted 110 species including 7 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE and a CACKLING GOOSE on the pond at Belmont Lake State Park, a TUNDRA SWAN at Connequot River State Park, EURASIAN WIGEON in West Baldwin on the Center Pond Creek, 2 VIRGINIA RAILS, ICELAND GULL, 12 TREE SWALLOWS, 29 AMERICAN PIPITS, PINE
