Re: [nysbirds-l] Ithaca rarities

2018-01-03 Thread Elizabeth Dinapoli
Kevin, Funny, you should say that.

As a downstater I was literally having a similar conversation with another 
downstater last month when we had a fantastic day at the Franklin Mt. Hawk 
Watch near Oneonta. We went to the hawk watch for Golden Eagles that weekend 
because of an upstater's post.

We discussed with the local birders there that we feel the upstaters should 
post more often to the listerv and encouraged them to do so.

In my opinion, aside from the occasional icky post, I think us downstaters do 
an excellent job of sharing information that has afforded us many opportunities 
to see some darn good birds.

I appreciate your post and always love to hear what's going on upstate.

Best current bird in Ithaca is a male TUFTED DUCK hanging in the huge (>10,000, 
probably near 20,000) flock of ducks (mostly Redheads) in the very SW corner of 
Cayuga Lake. It is difficult to look at this flock, but views can be had from 
Rt 89 just outside the Ithaca city limits. (Look for the first and only parking 
area on the west side of the road.) Even if you don't find the Tufted Duck, 
this duck flock is an amazing sight.


Also in the area is a family group of Black Vultures (2 adults, 2 juveniles) 
that are consistently, but not constantly, hanging out at the state 
pheasant-raising facility on Game Farm Road, just east of Ithaca and SW of 
Varna.


We had a good Christmas Bird Count on the 1st, with a record-setting 102 
species. Pretty impressive, I have to say for an inland count! Tufted Duck, 
Black Vulture, and Eurasian Goldfinch were all new species for the count. We 
also had record numbers of multiple duck species. Still no sign of the northern 
finches yet, despite the abundance of cones on all the conifers.


Good birds for inland New York included Surf Scoter, White-winged Scoter, 
Long-tailed Duck, Northern Pintail, Green-winged Teal, American Wigeon, 
Gadwall, Red-throated Loon, Peregrine Falcon, Savannah Sparrow.


Good birding and happy new year!

Just had the solitaire fly from n edge of field to the eastern clump off

Not far away, had a continuing tiny and silvery Cackling Goose at Gerry Park 
(middle pond) in Roslyn, along with a Rusty Blackbird near the eastern creek 
outflow at the big pond.

And lastly the Queens Western Tanager  continued this morning in the southeast

[nysbirds-l] Owl locations

2017-11-19 Thread Elizabeth Dinapoli
Hi Everyone!

A reminder, the rules of the listserv (as far as I can remember) state not to 
post ultra specific locations of owls. I believe general area is acceptable.

I saw a man today drive up to the topside to one of the south facing dunes 
(literally off the road and up to the top of the dune) right before the west 
side of Shinnecock Inlet. I have no idea what he was up to (and it wasn’t a 
gov’t car either). But that incident is a perfect example as to why we don’t 
post specific locations of owls.

I received a few choice opinions of my vague posting earlier today and this is 
my general response to those replies and a general reminder to all. And 
remember, if you don’t have something nice to say, zip it!

Happy owling!

[nysbirds-l] American Golden Plover Jones Beach, WE2 Swale.

2017-10-05 Thread Elizabeth Dinapoli
Received a call this morning from Bob P. that Bob A. relocated the American 
Golden Plover that he found on Monday. 

Bird is currently hanging out on the swale with Kildeer, one Lesser Yellowlegs 
and Canada Geese. 

Ed B. had trouble posting this so I did it for him. You missed this one Arie G! 

Time for lunch!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Yellow-headed Blackbird info

2017-09-25 Thread Elizabeth Dinapoli
Hi Rob! Eric Miller and I just had the bird in the tree to east of the entrance 
gate of the petting. He was very cooperative and easy to find. I spotted him 
within 30 seconds of walking up to the entrance. He flew from the tree to the 
ring to the ground where he began to feed. What a gorgeous man!

Thanks everyone! A lifer for me and Eric's best look at a YHBB in New York.

in roughly the same spot. That "spot" is a fenced off, seasonal petting zoo (no 
barnyard animals there yet) in the northwest corner of Floyd Bennett Field a 
stone's throw from the artificial turf soccer fields next to the Aviator Sports 
complex. For the latitude / longitude types out there:

40?35'32.21"N
73?53'58.60"W

Despite the bird's brilliantly plumed head, it does manage to disappear 
occasionally, mostly just perching in the scattering of trees at that location 
for long stretches.

Good birding,

Rob

[nysbirds-l] Common Nighthawks JB West End

2017-08-31 Thread Elizabeth Dinapoli
After ANOTHER unsuccessful search for the Hud Godwit and miss of the Marbled 
Godwit, we did get to see 4 Common Nighthawks flying over the center median at 
Jones Beach. 

Now, Arie said he spotted them first, but we really know it was me! 

Thank you Stephane for the lesson! I looked up!

Pat Aitken and I may have the bird on the sandbar across from boat basin at 
Jones. We just lost it, but it's looked good. Still scanning with scope. If 
anyone is at the beach, you may want to come here.

[nysbirds-l] White-winged Dove

2017-08-26 Thread Elizabeth Dinapoli
Whilst checking out the Grasspipers on Doctor's Path, Stacy Meyerheinrich 
noticed two Mourning Doves flying over the field west of the Grasspiper field. 
Turns out, one was a White-winged  Dove. Identified by Arie Gilbert. Also seen 
by myself, Pat Aiken, Kurt Meyerheinrich and a few others (lifer for a few of 
us here). 

Happy Birding!  Almost time for Oysters at Little Creek Oyster farm in 
Greenport.

[nysbirds-l] Kentucky Warbler

2017-05-01 Thread Elizabeth Dinapoli
Active early afternoon at Alley Pond Park. 

As of 1:30pm Jason Linch and I observed the bird near the burled tree by 
Decadon Pond. Still actively singing as well. Bird was Playing hard to get as 
we couldn't get a decent photo. 

Other warblers of note were Magnolia, Blackburnian, Am Redstart, Black and 
White, Blue-winged, BT blue, Black Throated Green, and a few Northern Parulas.

Got a nice look at a Scarlet Tanager and a Solitary Sandpiper who landed in the 
pond as I was preparing to leave. 

Time for lunch!!

[nysbirds-l] Second glance produced a great find at the Plandome train station for the Northern Nassau CBC

2016-12-20 Thread Elizabeth Dinapoli


   Good Afternoon Everyone,

Jennifer Wilson-Pines and I braved the yucky weather on the 17th for the 
Northern Nassau CBC. We were in sector 1 which included parts of Manhasset, 
Plandome, Port Washington and Great Neck.  We had a decent day considering the 
weather was terrible.  We saw every Junco on Long Island lol.

When we arrived at the Plandome Train Station we were hoping to see what our 
recon earlier in the week produced. Winter Wren’s and Golden Crown Kinglets.  
This spot is also good for Robins,  American Goldfinches and Cardinals.  It 
tends to be birdy due to the low lying brush, a stream that winds through and 
along the train tracks, trees with berries and the power station which Jennifer 
feels keeps the area slightly warmer and now as we look back possibly keeping 
small bugs alive during the colder months.  There are several houses on the 
other side of the stream that also put up feeders.

To make a long story short, as we were sitting in my car I noticed a blaze of 
yellow pop into my view.  Making the most sense at the time I yell out “Common 
Yellowthroat!”  Jennifer and I remarked that the bird was a glutton for 
punishment and half crazy for still being here.  Luckily Jennifer was able to 
snap two shots of him.  He was gone in about 5 seconds. I hopped out of  the 
car to look for him, but he was gone.  We weren’t thinking that it was anything 
else but a CYT and happy for that.   I did for a 1/2 second think “Boy was he 
bright and big” but dismissed it as him being up next to the snow and puffed up 
like every other bird that day.

When Jennifer finally had a moment to upload the pics from the day, she took a 
double take and realized we didn’t have a CYT.  She sent me and a few others 
the pics and sure as snow this wasn’t a CYT (i’m totally embarrassed at this 
point).  We received confirmation from some local birding-masters it turns out 
that crazy CYT was actually a Yellow-Breasted Chat.  Here he is in his crazy 
glory!!  This takes the Northern Nassau count from 99 to 100!  This may be a 
first for Northern Nassau.  Glenn Quinn is going to check the archives.

Luckily the bird IS still there.  I went this morning on my way to work and 
spotted him with another birder who has asked to remain anonymous. This morning 
he was hanging out with the Winter Wrens and Sparrows in the thicket behind the 
garage.  He is plump, happy, still alive and more importantly actually a Chat.



To see this bird:

GPS Coordinates: 40.809704, -73.695894

Address: 143 Stonytown Road, Manhasset, NY 11030  (Which is actually the 
Plandome Country Club).


Across from the club (facing south there is a parking lot for the train 
station). Behind that lot is a maintenance facility for the town and village. 
Lot’s of trucks etc.  The bird was seen at the southern part of the maintenance 
lot facing the brush.  There is a trail that to the east of that runs adjacent 
to the brush along the tracks you may want to check that too.  To the west of 
the brushy area is a garage, you can check that to (where he was today).  It 
leads to the other part of the stream and the houses that have feeders up.   
Email me for pictures of the bird.  We are glad to share.  Too large to send


Lessons learned:  Things aren’t always what they seem. Anything can happen on a 
CBC. And I shouldn’t be so hard on myself for a wrong i.d.

 Siide note, I will be forever mad at you, Pink Footed Goose!!! (He was also in 
my sector for the Queens County CBC and he decided to not to show up).
