[nysbirds-l] Interesting gull at Hither Hills State Park, Montauk

[Joe T]

Had this guy hanging out with the Greater Black backeds on the beach today at 
Hither Hills State Park. I don't know much about gulls and the journalist in me 
is looking for second, third and fourth opinions. From those I've asked, I've 
heard Herring, possible Iceland x Herring, possible things much rarer. 


http://www.flickr.com/photos/98746025@N07/


Leaving it to you all. The bird was smaller than the GBBs, and zooming on the 
picture will reveal a pink base to the bill. Pink legs. Struck me because of 
how white it was. So, so much whiter than I'm used to seeing in July. 


Thanks for the help!

[nysbirds-l] Cupsogue 7/4

[Joe T]

Red-necked Stint and 2-3 Arctic Terns present on the flats in the early 
afternoon (sorry, didnt have phone or watch on me). Lots of birders. A few let 
me see through their scopes. Many thanks. 

Also at least 5 Black Terns, 3 Royal Terns and numbers of Roseates. The 
Roseates, and only them, were all flying very erratically. The wind wasnt 
terrible and all the other terns seemed fine. Someone said maybe they were 
catching insects. 

Everyone was still waiting for the Elegant to show when I left after not much 
time.

Red-necked Stint and 2-3 Arctic Terns present on the flats in the early 
afternoon (sorry, didnt have phone or watch on me). Lots of birders. A few let 
me see through their scopes. Many thanks. 

Also at least 5 Black Terns, 3 Royal Terns and numbers of Roseates. The 
Roseates, and only them, were all flying very erratically. The wind wasnt 
terrible and all the other terns seemed fine. Someone said maybe they were 
catching insects. 

Everyone was still waiting for the Elegant to show when I left after not much 
time.

[nysbirds-l] Ruff JBWR - Yes

[Joe T]

7/9/12
12:23pm

Looking at one of the Ruff right now from a spit just south of the North Island 
on the north end of the East Pond.  Entered via the northwest corner and worked 
our way just a few hundred yards down and there he was, right across the water. 
 

Also nice are a few Gull-billed Terns flying around.

[nysbirds-l] Mississippi Kite, Staten Island

[Joe T]

An adult Mississippi Kite just made two brief appearances over the royal oak 
section of Clove Lakes Park on Staten Island.  Saw it once flying north and 
another time flying south so it may be sticking around. 

Also had a very late Hermit Thrush in the same general area.  

 Howie Fischer and I on the spot.

[nysbirds-l] YB Chat -NYC Yes

[Joe T]

Spotted the YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT this afternoon at 12pm while standing on the 
NY Public Library patio, above the "lawn", looking down at the shrubs.  From my 
perch, I had point-blank looks at the bird foraging silently below.  It would 
not have been visible from the street.  

Well worth the trip into the city.

[nysbirds-l] Ross Goose - Yes

[Joe T]

The ROSS' GOOSE was present at the edge of the driving range's lawn at Brooklyn 
Golf Center, just across the street from Floyd Bennett Field this afternoon 
through 5pm in the fading light. 

 It was hanging out with 17 Canadas.  I pulled into the golf center's parking 
lot, parked and walked down to the last bench on the range to see the birds; 
they were not visible from the street.  

Honestly, I thought the bird would be a little smaller, but this being my first 
Ross', I'm nowhere near an expert on the ID.  Bill and head shape distinctive, 
and sticks out like a sore thumb with the big, brown and black canadas.  

Good luck to all who go,

[nysbirds-l] Dickcissel

[Joe T]

The Dickcissel was still present at the Boat Basin parking lot this afternoon 
through 2:30pm, foraging in the bushes just past the restrooms with a flock of 
House Sparrows.  Further down, there were no shorebirds present on the spit, 
although I heard a report of good numbers of Dunlin, Sanderling and Red Knot 
from this morning at the locale at high tide.  Also that 2 Marbled Godwits were 
mixed in - but none of these birds were there this afternoon.

Hi Fred and Rich,

Very unlikely to see the bird from the train, and unfortunately definitely
not from where the train stops to let off passengers.

Once in the HUGE parking lot for the train station (in a car or on foot), go
to the extreme south end, so you can't go any further or you'd be in the
water. You'll pass all the commuters' cars, and then probably some empty
parking lot space (keeping the tracks to your right). You'll pass the large
shed and arrive at the very small parking lot at the end by the small boat
ramp, where the bird has been seen.

Good luck!

 For those of us unfamiliar with the area and the station, can someone tell

[nysbirds-l] Hooded Crow - YES

[Joe T]

Just had the Hooded Crow with a few other birders at 1:30pm in the parking lot 
at Crookes Point.  The bird seems content in the area even amidst the constant 
flow of mockingbirds harassing it.  I even witnessed a Laughing Gull having a 
problem with it.
Conversation with a pair of joggers that frequent the area resulted in them 
saying the funny looking crow has been in the area for about 2 weeks now.  Very 
obliging bird - allowed great looks.

[nysbirds-l] Common Ground Dove and Norther Shrike update

[Joe T]

   I arrived at Captree around 12:10pm to a small group of birders already on 
the Common Ground Dove, which was giving good views.  The group dispersed at 
12:25 and I was left viewing the bird alone until 12:35 when it took off, 
flying up over my head and across the parking lot, eventually disappearing over 
the trees in the direction of the dumpsters/distant flagpole.  I stayed around 
for 20 minutes and the bird did not return.     On another note, I was able to 
see the Northern Shrike at Jones Beach at 1:45pm.  The bird was offering 
distant views from the boardwalk behind the Nature Center.  The bird would 
perch on the Japanese Black Pines and sticks coming out of the dunes, but 
sometimes flies down and out of sight, so patience is required.  
Real good day!JT

Re: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler yes

[Joe T]

I apologize to any readers of my last post who found my report ambiguous.  The 
Prothonotary Warbler I was referring to is the bird that has been being seen 
recently in front of the NY Public Library on 5th Avenue in Manhattan.  Hope 
this clears things up.

The Prothonotary Warbler was seen very easily this afternoon by many observers 
between the hours of Noon and 1pm.  It really does stick out like a sore thumb. 
 
Good luck and enjoyJT

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach Clay-clored Sp +

[Joe T]

Had a gorgeous afternoon to work with at Jones Beach today.  The skies were 
clear and the weather was breezy and crisp.  Lots of sparrows around the 
hedgegrow, with the highlight being a Clay-colored Sparrow (with 2 eyes), mixed 
in with a flock of white-throats, fields and chipping.  Had a probable Vesper 
as well, but could not get a good enough look at the bird before it fled to 
make a positive ID.  There were virtually no shorebirds on the sandbar at the 
boat basin, so I checked the Swale (which is becoming more of a Swamp), where I 
was rewarded with two each of White-rumped Sandpiper and Pectoral Sandpiper.  
Nice to see the Pects.  While sitting in the sand admiring the view, a Northern 
Harrier very fittingly soared overhead, through the constant swarm of swallows, 
and eventually glided elegantly out of sight.  Also had a Merlin on the way in. 
 Great day to be out.

[nysbirds-l] Floyd Ben. Field 10/4

[Joe T]

A bright Orange-crowned Warbler in the community gardens was the highlight of 
my wet afternoon trip to Floyd Bennett Field today.  Besides that songbirds 
were rather scarce.  34 Black-bellied Plovers and 15 Killdeer were visible in 
various large puddles on the runways, and a lone Kestrel flew over as well.

[nysbirds-l] Staten Island

[Joe T]

Hi all,
 
While I have nothing new to add, and all these birds have been reported 
already, I thought this coming fact was worth noting.  For a birder visiting 
Staten Island, the following birds can be seen rather easily in well under a 
single day:
 
Summer Tanager (Clove Lakes Park)
Red-headed Woodpecker (Clove Lakes Park)
Cackling Goose (2- Mt. Loretto)
Rufous Hummingbird (private residence)
 
Along with an OC Warbler spotted yesterday at Clove Lakes, the seemingly always 
present Lesser Black-backed Gull at Arden Avenue, and other local birds, I 
would say right now Staten Island's definitely worth the trip.
 
Good birding
JT

[nysbirds-l] Summer Tanager, RH Woodpecker, more - Staten Island

[Joe T]

- The SUMMER TANAGER continued this morning at Clove Lakes Park on Staten 
Island. The bird is hanging out behind the SECOND bridge below the Martling Ave 
waterfall. There is a red bridge just past the falls and then further down, a 
white stone bridge. Look for the Tanager in the woods just behind the stone 
bridge. The bird is a suspected hatching year male.
- The young RED-HEADED WOODPECKER also continues, this bird just behind the RED 
bridge. There is a small clearing in the woods just before what is known as 
Brooke's Pond. The bird has been seen in this clearing with Red-bellied and 
Downy Woodpeckers.
- Red-breasted Nuthatch (heard)
- Great Blue Heron
- Northern Pintail (female, with Mallards)

[nysbirds-l] Rufous Hummingbird on Staten Island - yes

[Joe T]

Hi all,

Got great looks at the Rufous Hummingbird today on Grymes Hill in Staten Island.
The bird is very reliable and feeds constantly on the many flowers in backyard. 
I was there from 12:00-1:00pm and had the bird almost the entire time at point
blank range.  Howie is a great birder as well as host and welcomes any birders 
who want to see "Teddy" the Rufuous with open arms.

[nysbirds-l] Cupsogue 8/15, Whimbrel +

[Joe T]

Hi all,

    Birded Cupsogue today on the rising tide, and was treated to a nice variety 
of birds including 15 species of shorebird, highlighted by a single WHIMBREL. 
Besides the Whimbrel, good numbers of the usuals especially B..B. Plovers, 
Yellowlegs and Semipalmated Sandpipers. Also 15 Red Knot.  Also good for me was 
multiple Seaside Sparrows, which I can never seem to get good looks at.    
   Also of note, by the birders I spoke to in the parking lot: a few Black 
Terns and 3 Royal Terns, however, I could not come up with them.
