Re: [nysbirds-l] Arie Gilbert

[Jennifer Wilson-Pines]

Rick Kedenberg also lost his battle with cancer last week. Rick was active
with Queens County BC, and both North Shore (past president) and North Fork
Audubon chapters. Rick was kind and thoughtful, always ready to gently
educate new birders. He and his late wife, Linda Varney, met on a birding
trip and went on to lead many trips together before Linda lost her life to
cancer in 2016.

[nysbirds-l] Northern Nassau CBC results

[Jennifer Wilson-Pines]

The 2022 Northern Nassau CBC was held on Saturday December 17th. This was
the 70th count for Northern Nassau, which encompasses Manhasset Bay,
Hempstead Harbor and Oyster Bay and south to the Northern State. Hot spots
within the circle include Sands Point Preserve, Prospect Point, Garvies
Point Preserve, Welwyn, Muttontown and Caumsett SP.

This year was sunny, windy with temperatures close to 40. Relatively mild
weather meant the ponds were still open. Most of the 67 counters found it
fairly quiet but still managed to find 105 species, boosted to 106 with a
late add of a Yellow-rumped Warbler from a feeder count. Of those, 28 were
saves, birds found in only one of the 15 sectors within the count circle.
Count lows were Wood Duck (1), Cedar Waxwing (1), Brown Thrasher (1),
Red-winged Blackbird (1) , Black Scoter (1) and Chipping (1) and Field (4)
sparrows. Highs were Green-wing Teal (45) and Common Merganser (17).

There were a high number of rarities located, some firsts for the count,
marked *. Some were true rarities for the region; Red Phalarope*(Lloyd
Neck) , Pink Footed Goose* (Private Location) , Red-Necked Grebe, Eurasian
Wigeon (Oyster Bay), Red Crossbill*, and Yellow-breasted Chat *(Glen Head)
. Others were late staying summer regulars like House Wren, Great Egret,
Black-crowned Night Heron, and Baltimore Oriole.  Another group classes as
seen in the region but generally not found on the north shore like Lesser
Black- backed Gull, Black Vulture*, and Boat-tailed Grackle* which was both
late and out of the typical south shore area. And one is probably not super
rare, just secretive and hard to find, Northern Saw Whet Owl (Private
location). Notable count week species were a Cackling Goose (Private
Location) and a Nashville Warbler (Glen Head), hanging out with the Chat.

Misses included several species that have been located on five to ten of
counts in the last 10 years;  Horned Grebe for the first time ever, Surf
Scoter, Brown-headed Cowbird, Greater Yellowlegs, Savannah Sparrow,
Cackling Goose (count week),  Wilson’s Snipe, Northern Harrier, Northern
Shoveler, Eastern Phoebe, Pied-bill Grebe, American Coot, American Pipet
and Pine Warbler.

Thanks to the birders who made this possible, from Al Lindberg celebrating
his 50th count to two new counters. Compilers for Northern Nassau are
Jennifer Wilson-Pines, Glenn Quinn, Stephane Perreault, and Brendan
Fogarty.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher at Wave Hill?

[Jennifer Wilson-Pines]

This list is not accessible unless you are a member, and unless you know it
exists, not easy to find. Perhaps a push to the dozens of facebook,
discord, whatsapp and groupme lists with instructions on how to join might
make it more useful. I have seen that most visiting birders use Facebook,
since it's easily searchable for local birding groups and doesn't
require special knowledge to find or join. It doesn't give them rare birds
but it does ge them in touch with local birders.
 And I also note that "largely useless" Long Island Whatsapp group had the
bird reposted within minutes.

The Sulphur was posted to the Manhattan Rare Bird Groupme by 11am. I saw it
reposted to the BIrdfinders Whatsap at 11:15. There are many bird lists and
groups beyond this one.

[nysbirds-l] North Nassau CBC

[Jennifer Wilson-Pines]

The 2021 North Nassau Christmas Bird Count was held on Saturday December
18. Persistent drizzle and temperatures hovering around 40F didn't make for
pleasant birding or a lot of bird activity. The heavy overcast also didn't
lend aid to photography. The warm December had plus and minus attributes;
the ponds were open and a good number of dabbling ducks were seen including
the Eurasian Wigeon at Mill Pond, Oyster Bay. But sea ducks were in very
small numbers, presumably still feeding to the north. Thanks to all who
participated (even those who ran off to look for the mega rare Northern
Lapwing), *i*t’s the teams’ participation that made this event a
success. Ebird's
trip report feature combined with Google Spreadsheet is being used to
compile the results. We're hoping for an in person compilation and dinner
next year.

Overall CBC results:

   - There were 62 participants!
   - 104 species were recorded
   - 20 species were “saves”
   - Rarities included:


   - Cackling goose (Caumsett SP)
  - Eurasian wigeon (Mill Pond Oyster Bay)
  - Orange-crowned warbler (Private)


   - Exceptional for the North Nassau CBC


   - Common Eider (only seen in 2 of the previous 10 years)
  - Black-crowned night heron (0/10)
  - American woodcock (3/10)
  - Northern saw-whet owl (2/10)
  - White-crowned sparrow (0/10)


   - Misses were:


   - Purple Finch (seen 8 of last 10 years)
  - Pine warbler (7/10)
  - Eastern Phoebe (6/10)
  - Wilson’s snipe (7/10)
  - American coot (6/10)
  - Pied-billed grebe (6/10)
  - Common merganser (6/10)
  - Black scoter (7/10)
  - Northern shoveler (7/10)


   - 11-year lows were:


   - Mute Swan (52)
   - Greater Scaup (566)
   - Sharp-shinned Hawk (4)
   - Ring-billed gull (1039)
   - Black-capped chickadee (78)
   - House sparrow (141)


   - 11-year highs were:


   - Great blue heron (69)
   - Eastern screech owl (25)
   - Great horned owl (17)
   - Yellow-bellied sapsucker (35)
   - Yellow-rumpled warbler (57)
   - Savannah sparrow (19)
   - Common grackle (1661)

Saves were:

   - Sector 1 (Port Washington): Snow Bunting, Peregrine Falcon, Great
   Cormorant
   - Sector 3 (Glen Cove): Surf Scoter
   - Sector 6 (Huntington): Cackling Goose; Common Eider; Northern Gannet;
   Northern Harrier; Ruddy Turnstone; Sanderling; Dunlin; White-crowned Sparrow
   - Sector 7 (Cold Spring Harbor): Black-crowned night heron; Northern
   Saw-whet Owl
   - Sector 8 (Old Brookville): Chipping Sparrow
   - Sector 11 (Muttontown): House wren; American Woodcock
   - Sector 12 (Mill Pond/Oyster Bay): Eurasian Wigeon
   - Sector 15 (Brookville-Syosset): American Kestrel; Orange-crowned
   Warbler

Re: [nysbirds-l] Yellow-headed Blackbird at Nickerson Beach

[Jennifer Wilson-Pines]

I've had the good luck to spot the Yellow-headed blackbird twice and both
times it was associating with cowbirds, first time with a few female CB's,
second time with a small mixed group of CB's and red-wings, also mostly
female. Both times in the west Tern colony at Nickerson near the edge of
the pond.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Barn Swallow question

[Jennifer Wilson-Pines]

On the subject of play, I've seen young squirrels playing with small
sticks, tossing them in the sir, catching them, rolling around with the
stick, and I can't really think of a practical application to squirrel life
skills for that behavior other than fun.  And we've all seen the video of
the crow sliding down the snowy roof on a plastic lid "sled" (and if you
haven't, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn0OjCneVUg  )
