Re: [nysbirds-l] Jones beach west end closed

[Steven Schellenger]

The flatten area by the fisherman's road was use of sand for the

Re: [nysbirds-l] GWFG Continues at Alley Pond

[Steven Schellenger]

There is no parking lot. It is at the intersection of the LIE and the CIP.
Douglaston parkway is the third side of the triangle with the pond in the
middle. Street parking only.

Re: [nysbirds-l] RFI Corn Crake situation

[Steven Schellenger]

It is illegal to park, walk or stand on any part of the parkway. That being
said many people are doing just that to see the bird. The police only come
by every so often and clear out the people and the cars. If this bird
continues in the area police presence may increase.

It is illegal to park, walk or stand on any part of the parkway. That being
said many people are doing just that to see the bird. The police only come
by every so often and clear out the people and the cars. If this bird
continues in the area police presence may increase.

[nysbirds-l] Crested Caracara

[Steven Schellenger]

In the for what it is worth department. I got word of a large raptor with a
white chest and face flying over the Southern State Parkway and heading up
the Bethpage State Parkway corridor. This bird was seen yesterday. So
anyone birding near North Massapequa, Seaford or Bethpage might want to
keep an eye on the sky. This is only a few miles from the Seaford sighting
of the Crested Caracara. This report was from an experienced birder but he
only got a few seconds look as he was driving on the parkway.

[nysbirds-l] Crested Caracara

[Steven Schellenger]

In the for what it is worth department. I got word of a large raptor with a
white chest and face flying over the Southern State Parkway and heading up
the Bethpage State Parkway corridor. This bird was seen yesterday. So
anyone birding near North Massapequa, Seaford or Bethpage might want to
keep an eye on the sky. This is only a few miles from the Seaford sighting
of the Crested Caracara. This report was from an experienced birder but he
only got a few seconds look as he was driving on the parkway.

[nysbirds-l] North shore birding

[Steven Schellenger]

After bierding Jones Beach State Park this morning, I went to the north
shore to look for the Manderin Duck on pond on Engineers Rd. Roslyn Harbor.
The Manderin was a no show. Checked other ponds in area with no luck.
Then went to NYIT to look for the Greater White-fronted Goose found by Bob
Kurtz on Sat. NS CBC. after driving NYIT property found large goose flock
in field at corner of Northern Blvd. and Valentines La. Greenvale, NY. no
luck. On the way home passed by Engineers Rd. one last time, the only bird
on the pond was the Greater White-fronted Goose, scared off bya
neighborhood child that was probably coming to feed it.

 At Shinnecock Inlet this morning, the large number of gulls included 2
 (perhaps 3) immature Iceland Gulls and almost certainly 2 Glaucous Gulls.
 Three male Boat-tailed Grackles were on Dune Road at the Ponquogue Bridge
 access, displaying a little to each other.  A Snowy Owl was in the marsh
 west of the bridge, near the edge of the bay.  West of Docker's Restaurant,
 the Black-crowned Night Heron was conspicuous, but I failed to find an

 The Black Vulture was atop the chimney of a house almost opposite the
 church on Sound Avenue at Church Lane. No birds of note were present at the
 buffalo farm on Roanoke Avenue when I stopped there. Further west, a scan
 of EpCal from several points yielded nothing. On Long Island Sound, viewed

 Merlin and two Northern harriers were along Hulse Landing Road.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Fwd: avocet (no) at jones beach coast guard

[Steven Schellenger]

The American Avocet found at Jones Beach State Park Coast Guard Station
sand spit by Bob Anderson, hung around for about an hour before being
chased off by a Peregrine Falcon that strafed the spit 3 or 4 times,
finally the American Avocet had enough and flew off toward the Loop Parkway
draw bridge.

 Hi Andrew, I'm not on ABA so can't post about the avocet etc. but I have
 blog of my own where I post my pics http://longislandbirding.blogspot.com/
 I was at the JB Coast Guard Station looking for the avocet around 3:30 ,
 but there were no signs of it...just saw short billed dowitchers, common
 loon, black scoter flock, semi palmated sandpipers, sanderling in breeding
 plumage.  There were 2 obnoxious guys that walked onto the spit and were
 chasing the birds away, so chances are they spooked the avocet away.  Could
 you please post this on ABA?  I know it's sometimes helpful to post
 non-sightings too.

 Thanks,

[nysbirds-l] East end of Long Island bird trip

[Steven Schellenger]

John Gaglione, Bill Hollweg, Rick Kopitsch and I spent the day on the
east end of Long Island, New York, looking for new year birds. Failing
to find a number of target birds, (Dovekie, Snowy Owl, Greater
White-fronted Goose and American Bittern) being some. We did find a
number of target birds, ( all three Scoters, Common Eider, Razorbill,
Lesser Black-backed Gull, Common Goldeneye, Great Egret). We also had
some extras, at Camp Hero we had two Harlequin ducks, Yellow-bellied
Sapsucker on East Lake Dr., a flock of Common Grackles with at least
one Boat-tailed Grackle amongst them on the side of Rt. 27 in
Bridgehampton. The biggest surprise was at Kirk park in Montauk, NY on
the oceanside, After walking to the beach, Rick and I went back to the
car for our scopes, upon walking back to the beach, Bill saw a grebe
by itself to the east. He kept insisting it was different from the
Horned Grebes. I finally relented and looked at his grebe. I told Rick
to quickly look up the grebe page in his Sibley's field guide and
check for Western Grebe. After many looks by all of us, we were sure
of our ID of a Western Grebe. Calls were made and others were able to
get to see the grebe. On our way home we stopped at South Haven county
park to look for a reported Greater White-fronted Goose, but we did
not see it. We found a small flock containing 4 Pine Warblers, 2
Ruby-crowned Kinglets, 3 Brown Creepers, Red and White breasted
Nuthatches, Tufted Titmice and Black-capped Chickadees.
A nice day of birding.

[nysbirds-l] Barrow's Goldeneye

[Steven Schellenger]

Finally made the early morning trek to the west pond at Jamaica Bay WR
this morning. When I got there at 6:45 AM there were two women there
already and they had the Barrow's Goldeneye found. Watched it swim
around and bath itself for just under a half hour. As soon as the sun
cleared the treetops and hit the water the Goldeneyes and Red-breasted
Mergansers took flight off the pond. I wonder if on a overcast day,
they might stay later. Flight time was 7:12AM

Re: [nysbirds-l] Is the Jones Beach shrike still there? YES

[Steven Schellenger]

>From around noon til 1:30pm the Shrike was hunting all around the
boardwalk at the nature center, Jones Beach State Park. Gave great
views. Then I went to see the Hermit Warbler at Sunken Meadow State
Park on the north shore of Long Island, NY

 The last report I have seen was Nov 29.  I’m sure a lot of people would like
 to get another (or a first) look at it.

[nysbirds-l] Or Cr War - Hempstead Lake State Park

[Steven Schellenger]

This morning 12-10-09 8-10:30am while on our weekly bird survey of
Hempstead Lake State Park, parking field 3, we had an Orange-crowned
Warbler along the stream near where it empties into South Pond. Had
good looks as it flitted around for a few minutes. Nice color on the
underside of this bird.

Re: [nysbirds-l] FWD: (CONNECTICUT) - N. Wheatear, 9/5

[Steven Schellenger]

Yesterday 9-4-09 there was a report of a Northern Wheatear 40 miles
east at Hammonsett SP. Could be the same bird heading west along the
coast. It might jump the sound and end up on Long Island.
