[nysbirds-l] Painted Bunting - Camp Hero SP (Suffolk Co) 11/19

[Brendan Fogarty]

Good morning everyone,

Pete Morris, Taylor Sturm, and I had a brief look at a very vibrant
female/imm Painted Bunting in Camp Hero a short time ago. It was in the
weedy edges of a dump area which is closed to the public, but one can look
in from the road. It was feeding quietly in goldenrod all by itself and
then fully disappeared. One can pull off the road across from the dump in a
clearing but be sensitive to park workers, probably better to find a proper
spot and walk the road

Re:[nysbirds-l] COMMON RINGED PLOVER, Smith Point County Park (Suffolk Co) 8/19

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi everyone,

The bird was seen by single observers on both 8/20 and yesterday afternoon
8/21. Their reports, with photos, are on eBird. The bird has apparently
been in the same area, mostly south of a fallen large tree trunk out on the
flats.

Best,
Brendan

Re:[nysbirds-l] COMMON RINGED PLOVER, Smith Point County Park (Suffolk Co) 8/19

[Brendan Fogarty]

Good evening all,

First photos of the bird are here. Seems to be  fully consistent with
Common Ringed after some more photos and video review. No audio heard or
obtained, we believe. We didn't hear of any other reports from after we
left, but the bird could well have persisted on or near the flats and
should be sought tomorrow.

[nysbirds-l] Possible COMMON RINGED PLOVER, Smith Point County Park (Suffolk Co) 8/19

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hello everyone,

Taylor Sturm and I just studied a plover at the Old Inlet spot west of
Smith County Park which we believe is a Ringed. It was with Semi Plovers
around the below point in the wet areas south of the high tide line. It
flew north with Semis and is probably around the waters edge now.

This spot is over a mile west of the park, about an hour's walk.

[nysbirds-l] Smith's Longspur - Robert Moses SP (Suffolk Co) - 5/9

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi everyone,

Julie Hart forwarded photos of a breeding plumage male Smith's Longspur
just found near field 2 (the westernmost lot)/golf course area, found by a
visiting birder named Matt Talluto. Photos will be available on eBird
later.

Pin:

40.62135, -73.28367

His notes:

"West end of parking lot. Take first access road to beach (near golf course
entrance). Turn west down beach along the dune fence. Count five
do-not-enter (least tern nest area) signs. It was just around the fifth
sign. It was foraging in the foredunes among the grasses."

Good luck if you go, and please be respectful of the breeding tern/plover
restricted access areas and take all the other standard beach precautions.

Best,
Brendan Fogarty

[nysbirds-l] Re: [nysbirds-l] NORTHERN LAPWING LI NY…

[Brendan Fogarty]

Thank you for sending the email Andrew. The bird was originally on the sand
bar that is known for hosting dowitchers and Yellowlegs in the winter. It
was chased off by gulls and has tried to return three times unsuccessfully.

It was most recently reported  from Bergen Avenue looking onto the Bergen
Point golf course on the east side of Santapogue Creek. Note that this is a
public golf course, however according to their website they are closed all
day today, the 18th.

Bird was last reported near a flock of geese at this point, looking west
from Bergen Avenue.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gray Kingbird Great Kills Park YES 11/30

[Brendan Fogarty]

No entrance fee. It was seen near the entrance to the marina today 11/30 at
1:15 and 2:00, on both sides of the road, more recently on beach side. It
was a little farther north around midday. It is sometimes on low and
conspicuous ornamental shrubs right along the road. Relocates frequently.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gray Kingbird Great Kills Park YES 11/30

[Brendan Fogarty]

No entrance fee. It was seen near the entrance to the marina today 11/30 at
1:15 and 2:00, on both sides of the road, more recently on beach side. It
was a little farther north around midday. It is sometimes on low and
conspicuous ornamental shrubs right along the road. Relocates frequently.

Best,
Brendan

[nysbirds-l] LI Roseate Spoonbill request (and bird continues) 8/6

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi all,

The Cold Spring Harbor/Saint John’s Pond Roseate Spoonbill is still being
reported as of this morning.

Someone from the Cold Spring Lab wanted to request that photographers and
birders don’t park or try on the lab property from 7am to 4pm, and please
don’t enter any buildings. There are lots of activities occurring there
this time of year and they have their own pandemic protocols.

If you want to use the lab as a western vantage on the harbor, you may walk
in, being mindful of construction areas.  Please park at the Cold Spring
Harbor Fish Hatchery and carefully cross 25A.

There is free parking behind the hatchery, at the little wooden stairs by
the pond outflow. Drive in through the hatchery. Parking for people with
disabilities is available by continuing to drive south and uphill, right up
to the church. The bird spends most of its afternoons roosting at various
spots around the pond, all visible from the church (a scope helps for the
back half of the pond).

Another equally accessible angle on the harbor from the east is the public
fishing dock, on Harbor Rd (by the Harbor Mist restaurant) at these
coordinates.

40.86574845769521, -73.46237710464821

Best,

Brendan Fogarty

[nysbirds-l] 2(!) Roseate Spoonbill - Nassau County 7/25

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi all,

Two troublesome spoonbills turned up today in Nassau. Check eBire for one
seen by Russ and Lifang  in Cold Spring Harbor at the Saint John's Pond
outflow. It was seen very briefly at 9:30 but not again since. Best vantage
on the harbor is from the boat ramps and overlooks on the east side of the
harbor in Suffolk County, the west side is the private Cold Spring Habor
lab.

I am out with Stéphane Perrault and Tim Healy and we just came across
another spoonbill on East Meadow Island just west of Masone Beach in Island
Park. It is feeding along the south edge of the island near some egrets.
Masone Beach would be a good vantage point but as I understand it, it is
for people living in the Village of Island Park only, so I am not aware of
any obvious access except by personal boat.

Our spoonbill is foraging now at 2:13 here (40.6105228, -73.6578647)

Best,
Brendan Fogarty

Re: [nysbirds-l] Barn Swallow question

[Brendan Fogarty]

Joseph and all,

This behavior seems familiar, but I cannot say if I have seen it before in
person or in media. It is definitely documented; below is an excerpt from
Birds of the World online.

"In Britain, 3 juveniles were observed apparently playing with large white
feather while in flight, repeatedly dropping it and catching it before it
reached the ground (1). Adults are also known to exhibit this same behavior
(2)."

1. Thompson, B. G. (1990). Behaviour of Swallows with feather. British
Birds 83:239

2. Turner, A. K. (2004). Family Hirundinidae (Swallows and Martins). In
Handbook of the Birds of the World, Volume 9: Cotingas to Pipits and
Wagtails (J. del Hoyo, A. Elliott, and D. A. Cristie, Editors), Lynx
Edicions, Barcelona, Spain.

[nysbirds-l] Black-throated GRAY Warbler - Tobay (Nassau Co) 4/28

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi all,

I am sharing a thirdhand but strongly suggestive report of a Black-throated
Gray Warbler at Tobay Beach this morning. I have no further info as to the
location. Please be advised that this is a Town of Oyster Bay beach area,
which is mostly private and pricey for residents, and the more accessible
JFK Memorial Sanctuary area technically requires a permit to access.

Best,
Brendan Fogarty

Re: [nysbirds-l] Spotted Towhee YES 1/3 - Baldwin Harbor Park, Nassau Co

[Brendan Fogarty]

Good morning,

It is now raining in Baldwin but the towhee made a brief appearance at
(40.6275069, -73.6066148) around at 8:55 AM, refound by Brent Bomkamp. This
is along the NW side of the lot next to the tennis courts (there's a giant
pile of sand in the lot too). It was only seen for 30 seconds or so.

Shortly after an unseen towhee species was making flight calls a little
ways down the paved path north of the path at (40.6277993, -73.6076156). If
that was indeed the bird, then it may be following the same east-west
vector as yesterday morning.

[nysbirds-l] 2020 Northern Nassau CBC Results

[Brendan Fogarty]

On Saturday, December 19, the Northern Nassau CBC was held. The count
covers the area north of an arc cut through Manhasset, Old Westbury,
Hicksville, Woodbury, and Cold Spring Harbor. We tallied a respectable 107
species between us.

Recent heavy snowfall in the area and the first sustained freezing
temperatures of the season meant that conditions were challenging for
participants: crunchy snow, ice, and 16 degrees Fahrenheit before dawn, but
thankfully little wind chill. Waterfowl were similarly affected. Despite
being seen at least 7 out of the last 10 years, Northern Shoveler, Common
Merganser, and American Coot could not be found, and Brant and Gadwall
numbers were at their 10-year lows. The other 10-year low was a single
Ruby-crowned Kinglet, which often seems to be one of the first half-hardies
to go in such conditions. Purple Sandpiper, Northern Gannet, Great
Cormorant, and Pine Warbler were all bad misses, but not as bad as
Brown-headed Cowbird and Brown Thrasher, which had not been missed in at
least 10 years.

On the other hand, adverse conditions to our north may have resulted in
some high counts. Canada Goose hit its 10-year high with over 12,000
individuals tallied. No Cackling Geese were found, despite having
encountered them on 6 out of the 10 last NN CBCs. 27 Horned Lark and 6
American Pipit were also 10-year highs, as was 28 Hermit Thrush. Other
10-year highs were 596 White-winged Scoter, 31 Black Scoter, 151 Great
Black-backed Gull, 82 Double-crested Cormorant, 8 Northern Harrier, and 37
Common Raven.

The highlight birds for the count circle, and their frequency out of the
last 10 years, were as follows:

Snow Goose (4/10) Lattingtown
Common Eider (1/10) Lattingtown and Lloyd Neck
Iceland Gull (0/10) Lattingtonw
Red-shouldered Hawk (2/10) Syosset
Northern Saw-whet Owl (2/10)
American Kestrel (3/10) Port Washington
Horned Lark (2/10) Lattingtown and Lloyd Neck
American Pipit (4/10) Port Washington
Pine Siskin (4/10) Mill Neck
Common Redpoll (0/10) Albertson and Syosset
Baltimore Oriole (1/10) Bayville
Orange-crowned Warbler (4/10) Lloyd Neck

Our compilation meeting was virtual this year.

Thank you to all the participants for braving the weather, figuring out
access and safety logistics, and sharing a day of beautiful, wintry nature.
Special thanks to my co-compilers: Glenn Quinn, Jennifer WIlson-Pines,
and Stephane Perrault. Please don't hesitate to reach out to any of us if
you want to become involved with the 2021 count!

Season's greetings,
Brendan Fogarty

[nysbirds-l] Cave Swallow movement - NYC 11/17

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi all,

There have been a number of reports of Cave Swallow from coastal NYC today,
singles and small groups, none apparently sticking to one spot so far. I
observed one this morning at Fort Tilden (Queens), where more have since
been seen, and others have now been reported from Breezy Point and Coney
Island.

Best,
Brendan

Re: [nysbirds-l] Western Flycatcher 11/2 in Queens

[Brendan Fogarty]

Ok better directions. Park on 164th near Underhill Ave. Just south of that
intersection on the west side of 164th enter the park where the guardrail
meets the nicer metal fence. Follow that path straight west. The bird has
been seen from the very first large tangle of invasive plants on the right
to 300 feet west along the same east-west path.

It is foraging very low in tangles (often invisible) in the wind but will
sometimes perch up cooperatively now that the north side of that path is
getting some sunlight. A few were on site when I left at 10 am.

No samples or vocalizations yet.

Best,
Brendan

[nysbirds-l] Selasphorous hummingbird - Bayard Cutting Arboretum (Suffolk County) 10/30

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hello!

Alice Raimondo found a hummingbird today in the Cornell Cooperative
Extension / barn area of the arboretum, which is north of the parking area.
There is some salvia and a hummingbird feeder there.  It was seen briefly
in the morning but not again despite observers watching most of the
afternoon. Alice reported it to eBird as a Calliope but it seems more
consistent with Rufous/Allen's.

It might end up a five minute wonder but it's a rare chance to look for a
vagrant hummingbird without needing to bother a homeowner. Check the
arboretum website for a map and hours.

Best,
Brendan

Re: [nysbirds-l] EBird eliminated "Summarize my Observations" - problem for Christmas Bird Count

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hey Nancy,

The summarize feature is not gone permanently - eBird is transitioning all
of its ancient pages to a new format and it is supposed to return within
the year, but it could indeed pose a challenge for the CBCs if it isn’t
fast-tracked.

I am not sure what the most elegant solution for CBC listing is today. In
eBird mobile (definitely for iOS, Android I can’t say for sure) one can
choose “Trip Summaries” under “Checklists” and see all species counts for
any given particular date range, including just one day. Minimizing the
number of list keepers in a sector party would help here. The “Trip” report
can be emailed out.

Another option is to create a sector eBird account. Anyone keeping lists
within the party can share their lists with that account. You can see a
species list in the account’s “My eBird” but not species totals. For that
you’d need to export its observations into Excel. Everything is likely
getting summed in Excel by the coordinators anyway.

I hope any other useful strategies will be shared here before CBC season
hits.

The species highs/first/last all can still be accessed on the pages for a
location (country, state, county, or hotspot level). Check the buttons just
above the species list, under “Sightings”.

Best,
Brendan

Re: [nysbirds-l] Fish Crow confirmed breeding in Scarsdale

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi Andrew and all,

Just a reminder that the current atlas is different than the prior two.
While there are still volunteer leads for priority blocks, anyone can eBird
these crows with the appropriate breeding codes in the atlas portal and
they will count - and I hope someone will!

Thanks for sharing,
Brendan

Re: [nysbirds-l] Fish Crow confirmed breeding in Scarsdale

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi Andrew and all,

Just a reminder that the current atlas is different than the prior two.
While there are still volunteer leads for priority blocks, anyone can eBird
these crows with the appropriate breeding codes in the atlas portal and
they will count - and I hope someone will!

Thanks for sharing,
Brendan

[nysbirds-l] Northern Nassau Christmas Bird Count 12/21

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi everyone,

The count will take place on Saturday, December 21. There are a number of
territories, ranging from Port Waington to the edge of Huntington, and from
Lattingtown in the north down to Old Westbury. Is a great chance to explore
a very under-birded, and rather private part of the island. If interested
in helping out, please email myself, Stephane Perrault (
perreaultsvi...@aol.com), or Jennifer Wilson-Pines (jwpi...@gmail.com).

The compilation dinner will be at the Garvies Point Museum in Glen Cove
starting at 5. I hope to see you there.

Best,
Brendan Fogarty

[nysbirds-l] Emperor Goose (escape) - White Plains (Westchester) 11/28

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi everyone,

I visited this goose today. Firstly, the bird is larger than I was
expecting, and very attractive. Like, really quite stunning. But on to
business; in the scope one can see it has a single oversized, unmarked
silver metal on its left leg, which is not consistent with any official
banding procedure in North America (or in the Old World, as far as I can
tell). Not shocking, but of course worth verifying. No other weird geese
amongst the flock. A dog spooked the flock, which took to the air briefly,
including the Emperor. I have photos on eBird, for reference:

https://ebird.org/checklist/S61821350

eBird’s new help page suggests this bird may be eBirded as it is not
pinioned or in zoo. See:

https://support.ebird.org/support/solutions/articles/48000795623-ebird-best-practices

Final thought: there is no place to park for this bird except street
parking along Hathaway Lane. Wish it were “needless to say”, but don’t be a
~turkey~ in the residential area, or else your name will probably be
dragged through the ~gravy~! ;)

Enjoy the holiday,
Brendan

[nysbirds-l] Belated but maybe continuing Brown Booby, Jones Inlet area (Nassau)

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi all,

As Steve Walter mentioned yesterday, a Brown Booby was reported to eBird
last week from a fishing boat traveling through the bay islands north of
Jones Beach. A photo at close range was provided. The observer reports that
the bird landed on their boat near the “Point Lookout houses” while
returning from fishing and stayed on their boat for some time. The captain
of this boat reports that the bird has been doing this with some degree of
regularity since July.

There seems to have been decent coverage of the Jones Beach inlet waters in
recent weeks, thanks to Steve and others, so I am not sure what the best
strategy would be to see this thing!

Best,
Brendan Fogarty

[nysbirds-l] Wilson’s Phalarope - Jerome Reservoir 8/16 (Bronx Co)

[Brendan Fogarty]

One phalarope still being seen as of 6:30 along the southern edge of the
reservoir, near the terminus of University Pl. It has been following
yellowlegs around the middle sections of the flats. One Pectoral was well
hidden near University Pl as well. Did not see any White-rumped or
dowitchers.

Street parking is available along the western and southern sides of the
reservoir, but not the eastern. There is a tall fence around the perimeter
and no close approach. A scope is required for all but the closest birds.
Also one of the local kestrels flew over.

Best,
Brendan Fogarty

[nysbirds-l] White-winged Dove, Jones Beach 8/5 (Nassau Co)

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi everyone,

Stacey Meyerheinrich found a WWDO along the Bay Parkway near Jones Beach
Field 10. This bird is along the westbound lane perched in a dead black
pine. It was being seen through 11:33 at least.

Similar to the Corncrake situation, there is no legal parking along the
side of the road. The nearest legal parking would be field 10, which is
about 0.3 mi to the west. There are no sidewalks here, just grass.

Google Maps of coordinates:

[nysbirds-l] White-winged Dove, Jones Beach 8/5 (Nassau Co)

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi everyone,

Stacey Meyerheinrich found a WWDO along the Bay Parkway near Jones Beach
Field 10. This bird is along the westbound lane perched in a dead black
pine. It was being seen through 11:33 at least.

Similar to the Corncrake situation, there is no legal parking along the
side of the road. The nearest legal parking would be field 10, which is
about 0.3 mi to the west. There are no sidewalks here, just grass.

Google Maps of coordinates:

Best,
Brendan Fogarty

[nysbirds-l] Ten Black-bellied Whistling Ducks - Jones Beach 6/2 (Nassau Co)

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi folks,

Not sure when whistling ducks became listserv optional but a flock of TEN
was seen yesterday at the Bay Parkway exit for Meadowbrook/Ocean Parkway
near West End 2 at Jones Beach (aka the cloverleaf), apparently the little
wet area as you leave West End, go under the Ocean Parkway, then exit onto
the Ocean Parkway/Meadowbrook heading north. The (likely same) flock of ten
at the Marine Nature Study Area have not been reported since the initial
sighting a few days ago.

Happy reporting things in a timely manner,

Best,
Brendan

Re:[nysbirds-l] Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks - Cow Meafow (Nassau Co) 5/21

[Brendan Fogarty]

They are near the east end of the pond, resting near the edge. Please be
cautious in approaching the pond as there is not much room and they could
easily be flushed.

[nysbirds-l] Re: [nysbirds-l] Wilson’s Plover continues (Suffolk)

[Brendan Fogarty]

 Still there as of 1030, resting by itself.

Another way to get to the plover is to walk down the dirt road leading west
from the parking lot at Cupsogue. You’ll pass three sandy parking areas for
off-road vehicles on your right. The third one will have fencing between
the parking stalls, and each of these pieces of fencing has a number.  At
the far end of that third parking lot, across from stall 34 or so, there is
a path way out to the beach marked with a large orange traffic cone by
snowfencing. The bird was just a few yards west of where that path ends at
the beach, resting by itself within the plover fenced area.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Radar

[Brendan Fogarty]

Gus and all,

For predicting local movements I would recommend referring to a more local
scale radar. Your link shower strong movement last night to our south,
which is indeed an indicator of birds on the ground the next morning here,
but it is not the only one. Checking the below link this morning, I could
see a small line of showers crawling by central New Jersey and a bird-sign
shadow to it’s north. Cape May Bird Observatory posted on Facebook last
night of possible fallout conditions in that area.

http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/radar/

I usually keep all the setting except “Loop Duration” which I usually set
to 6 or 8 hours to see the whole night. Then click a station:  OKX is on
Long Island, DIX is by Philadelphia. Both can be helpful to predict
activity near NYC, since these stations are more “accurate” within a
shorter radius, where the radar beam is bouncing off airborn objects closer
to the ground. Activity over the New York bight just before dawn is a good
sign for new arrivals; activity over the Long Island Sound only is a good
sign for net departures, which is closer to what was visible this AM. Wind
was also northerly (but pretty light, not necessarily inhibitive).

I visited Crocheron Park in Bayside yesterday evening and this morning and
there was no noticeable turnover whatsoever. An Olive-sided Flycatcher was
there, perching up near the west end of the pond, yesterday only.

Best,
Brendan Fogarty

[nysbirds-l] Pacific Loon - Oyster Bay (Nassau Co) 2/3

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi everyone,

People are looking at a very close and cooperative winter plumages Pacific
Loon in downtown Oyster Bay.

Plugging “Sagamore Yacht Club” should get you there. Take Rt106 north
through town and turn left when you see the big white tanks in front of
you. You are now on the very short Bay Ave. In a couple hundred yards the
road forks, take the left fork into the parking area. Follow the long
skinny parking area along the boat slips on the right north to the water
and scope from there.

Good luck,
Brendan

[nysbirds-l] Pacific Loon - Oyster Bay (Nassau Co) 2/3

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi everyone,

People are looking at a very close and cooperative winter plumages Pacific
Loon in downtown Oyster Bay.

Plugging “Sagamore Yacht Club” should get you there. Take Rt106 north
through town and turn left when you see the big white tanks in front of
you. You are now on the very short Bay Ave. In a couple hundred yards the
road forks, take the left fork into the parking area. Follow the long
skinny parking area along the boat slips on the right north to the water
and scope from there.

Good luck,
Brendan

Re: [nysbirds-l] GWFG at Roslyn Pond - NO

[Brendan Fogarty]

Matt and all,

This pond (along with the smaller pond SW of the library) is primarily used
as a roost, and numbers diminish by mid morning. Sometimes geese do not
return before twilight in the afternoon. The geese go to the many golf
local courses during the day and are pretty inaccesible then.

Best,
Brendan

[nysbirds-l] OT: BLACK Phoebe - Sussex Co, NJ

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi all,

Just wanted to share that there was another species oh phoebe around quite
close to Port Jervis but in New Jersey, not far from the NY Say’s Phoebe,
which was not reported today but rain made observation difficult. The Black
Phoebe was seen briefly this morning, at least. Might be a stop for people
birding the Orange county area tomorrow.

Details are discoverable on eBird or the NJ list:

Re: [nysbirds-l] Possible Hammond's Flycatcher, Sunken Meadow SP + another empid upstate

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi everyone,

While the first of Brenda’s photo gives off that unique Hammond’s small-
and dark-billed vibe, other photos which are sibject to less foreshortening
show a long and paler bill. I believe molt would be wrong for Hammonds at
this time of year. I don’t have a tenable name for this bird myself, but I
would start the discussion by considering Least.

There was also another empid observed at Hamlin Beach near Rochester, NY
yesterday that has been eBirded as a Dusky with a sight description. It
does not seem to have made it to this list.

I am a firm believer that any empid found this late into the season should
be reported immediately, with or without a tentative identification. There
are a number of possible species, including many from the west, and none of
them should be here now and are absolutely worth documenting their
movements. Historically, it has taken a team effort to identify and
document most vagrant empids, so please utilize this great listserv for
what it is designed to do.

Best,
Brendan

[nysbirds-l] Long Island barrier beaches - Evening Grosbeak, Red Crossbill, goshawk, etc - 11/11

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hello,

There were lots of birds moving on today's nice NW winds. This is a
moderately quick synopsis:

After a brief dawn check of Jones Beach for the Gray Kingbird, which was
not reported today (nor the Point Lookout Scissor-tailed Flycatcher), I
joined a visible migration vigil at Robert Moses. Thousands of finches were
moving east. Most of them were goldfinches, but there were well over a
thousand *Pine Siskins* over a few hours. There was a single, calling
female *Evening Grosbeak, *one small group of *Red Crossbills, *some Rusty
Blackbirds, pipits, and other expected species for this time of year flying
by. There were also tons of gannets visible over the ocean.

At Tobay Beach in Nassau, there weren't any interesting passerines, but
while walking along the edge of the giant parking lot I looked up to see an
accipiter passing right over me. Photos confirmed it as a *Northern Goshawk*.
It continued east into Suffolk until I lost it in the heat shimmer.

Jones Beach West End had nothing too unusual except one (1) of the
continuing *Marbled Godwits*. *Lesser Black-backed Gulls* have been
reliable in the West End 2 lot lately, through today.

The Norman Levy Preserve had a nice number of gulls, the best being merely
a Laughing Gull. Also fun was a group of 21 parakeets feeding on the nearby
ballfield.

Lastly there was nothing too notable at Cow Meadow except two Fox Sparrows,
some late Great Egrets and a Yellow-crowned Night-Heron. Berries are
abundant along the trail to the observation platform, and a variety of
regular frugivorous species were present. It is probably worth checking for
Evening Grosbeak and stuff.

Best,
Brendan Fogarty

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gray kingbird?

[Brendan Fogarty]

There have not been any new reports. There is a significant number of
people searching all around West End now. No news on the Scissor-tailed at
Point Lookout either.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Gray kingbird?

[Brendan Fogarty]

There have not been any new reports. There is a significant number of
people searching all around West End now. No news on the Scissor-tailed at
Point Lookout either.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Grey kingbird Jones Beach

[Brendan Fogarty]

 I am not on site, but I am hearing that the bird has not been seen in
nearly an hour . Also oddly absent from these reports was a new scissor
tailed flycatcher at point with lookout town park, where the graces watbler
once was  a few winters ago along the north side of the parking lot.
