[nysbirds-l] Mourning Warbler - Quogue Wildlife Refuge, Suffolk County

2010-05-14 Thread Hans and Eileen Schwinn
A singing male Mourning Warbler was seen this morning from about 9:45  
- 11:00AM, at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge, along the boardwalk area  
parallel to the rail road tracks.  The bird was seen on both sides of  
the walkway, between the stream and the overspill sitting area.  The  
bird was there when we left.


A bird seen and heard yesterday - but not relocated today - was a  
Yellow-throated Warbler, in the pine trees at the end of the dirt  
path leading to the air-base border, again, parallel to the rail road  
tracks.  If you are unfamiliar with the Refuge, please ask at the  
Nature Center for information.  Other warblers seen there recently  
include Blue-winged, Redstart, Parula, Yellow, Common Yellowthroat,  
and Ovenbird.  Two male white-crowned sparrows were also seen near  
the entranceway to the Nature Center today.

[nysbirds-l] Dovekie - Hither Hills SP

2009-12-27 Thread Hans and Eileen Schwinn
At Hither Hills SP, Montauk,  dovekie was found today around 4PM - at  
the water line - by Joan Becker, Richard Becker, Robin Fishman and  
Eileen Schwinn.  The bird appeared "waterlogged" and was taken to The  
Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons, in Hampton Bays.  We were  
told it was the third dovekie to be brought to the center today. All  
birds were thought to be "non- water repellant", perhaps the result  
of the strong winds and rain from yesterday's storm.   One bird was  
found by a local boater and the other along the beach in Westhampton.


Perhaps tomorrow birders can be on the look-out along local ocean  
beaches for any other washed-ashore birds.


Earlier in the day(11AM), the Black Guillemot was seen inside  
Bullhead Bay, close to the broken bulkheading along Sebonac Inlet  
Road.  It still was in the company of  four long-tailed ducks.

[nysbirds-l] Sandhill Crane - Dune Rd, East Quogue

2009-11-29 Thread Hans and Eileen Schwinn
While birding along Dune Road today (Sunday) at 4:20PM, I saw and  
photographed a Sandhill Crane.  The bird was seen standing just east  
of the "Berm", which is east of Dockers Restaurant.  It took off,  
after a Great Blue Heron swooped past, and was last seen flying north- 
east over the marshes of Shinnecock Bay.  I tried to follow by car,  
but was unable to relocated the bird.
