[nysbirds-l] Back yard Kentuck Warbler

2016-05-15 Thread Steve Williams
Since friday I have had 4 brief visits from a Kentucky Wabler to my back
yard in East Meadow.  Not sure where the bird is spending of the rest of the
time but my house borders the East Meadow Jewish center.  I have a small
waterfall/pond that often pulls in migrants for a quick visit.  An ovenbird
has also been lingering for several days.

[nysbirds-l] Ravens - East Meadow water tower

2015-09-27 Thread Steve Williams
While wayching my sons Flag Football game my wife and I obseved 3 Ravens on
the East Meadow water tower.  They were doing some flight acrobatics
together and croaking away for a good 20 minutes.  They perched for a little
while before spitting up and flying off.

Not a rare bird but an unexpected suprise.  Immature Red Tail cooling off in
a puddle near a water fountain right next to the walking path.  Did not seem
to have any fear of people yet.  A few people walked by while I was taking
pictures.  He just kept bathing.

[nysbirds-l] East Meadow Raven

2015-01-04 Thread Steve Williams
Over past few months I have been hearing occational croaking and just
catching glimpses of large black bird.  Today all doubt was erased.  The
raven was perched on top of a Pine tree near East Medow Jewish Center.
Stayed for about 15 minutes croaking and preening then flew off.  I think
the bird is roosting nearby.

Added 3 new warblers to my back yard list today.  Cerulean, Bay Breasted and

like an Isolated fallout.  I am usually lucky if I can add a new BYB every

[nysbirds-l] Back yard birds in East Meadow

2014-05-14 Thread Steve Williams
Added 3 new warblers to my back yard list today.  Cerulean, Bay Breasted and
Chestnut Sided.  All visiting a smal pond with waterfall I built for just
this reason.  6 Other warblers also present within a half hour span. Felt
like an Isolated fallout.  I am usually lucky if I can add a new BYB every
few years.  But 3 in one day is epic.  Right place at the right time I
guess.

[nysbirds-l] Hempstead Lake Park Warblers

2014-05-09 Thread Steve Williams
Stopped by on my lunch break this afternoon.  There was a swarm of warblers
at the north west corner of the south pond.
I saw dozens of Black and Whites, several chestnut sided and a few oven
birds.  Also many Magnolia, Northern Parula, Black Throated Blue and
Blackpolls and of course the Yellow Rumps abound.  Highlight for me was a
Nashville Warbler who came down low to give great views.  Other birds
included Ruby Throated Hummingbird and Scarlet Tananger.  No sign of the
Cerulian I saw there on Wednesday.  Also had a Turkey Vulture Flighing low
and getting chased away by crows. Only spent half an hour there today so
there so I probably missed a few gems.

[nysbirds-l] Bald Eagles - Peregrine Falcon Hempstead Lake State Park

2013-12-21 Thread Steve Williams
Spotted both a mature and immature Bald Eagle at HLSP today.  They seem to
be prefer the northern most edge of the lake and the lake just north of the
Southern State Parkway.  The eagles got into a bit of an aerial display and
were actually locking talons.  Pretty cool to see over a nassau county lake.
Also perched at the same lake was a Peregrine Falcon. 
 
Later we visited Jones beach and got the Northern Shrike at the West End 2.
It was in the lone bare tree close to  the south western edge of the parking
lot.  We then scoped a Snowy Owl a little further east.  Not a bad day of
birding.

[nysbirds-l] Bald Eagle - Hempstead Lake State Park

2013-12-15 Thread Steve Williams
My sons and I obseved an adult Bald Eagle on the north side of the resevoir
on debris or stump on the water and later at the small lake north of the
Southern State Parkway perched in the trees.  This is the first eagle I have
seen in Nassau County that was not a fly over.  Great to share it with my
kids.
