RE: [nysbirds-l] 2(!) Roseate Spoonbill - Nassau County 7/25 - GOOD or BAD?
I don’t think the surge of juvenile Roseate Spoonbills hitting the NE has anything to do about habitat degradation in Florida. To the contrary, when large number of juvenile waders show up in the north, it usually means there has been a very good production year in the main part of the range and there are more young birds to wander to odd places. I will be very interested to see if there are data on wading bird breeding in Florida this year. I predict that it was a good year for them. Best, Kevin Kevin J.

Roseate Spoonbill - Nassau County 7/25 Hi all, Two troublesome spoonbills turned up today in Nassau. Check eBire for one seen by Russ and Lifang in Cold Spring Harbor at the Saint John's Pond outflow. It was seen very briefly at 9:30 but not again since. Best vantage on the harbor is from the boat ramps and overlooks on the east side of the harbor in Suffolk County, the west side is the private Cold Spring Habor lab. I am out with Stéphane Perrault and Tim Healy and we just came across another spoonbill on East Meadow Island just west of Masone Beach in Island Park. It is feeding along the south edge of the island near some egrets. Masone Beach would be a good vantage point but as I understand it, it is for people living in the Village of Island Park only, so I am not aware of any obvious access except by personal boat. Our spoonbill is foraging now at 2:13 here (40.6105228, -73.6578647) Best, Brendan Fogarty -- NYSbirds-L List Info: <http://www.northeastbirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm> Welcome and Basics <http://www.northeastbirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm> Rules and Information <http://www.northeastbirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html> <http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L> Surfbirds <http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01> ABA Please submit your observations to <http://ebird.org/content/ebird/> eBird! -- -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
RE: [nysbirds-l] 2(!) Roseate Spoonbill - Nassau County 7/25
I know it’s a thrill to see all of the spoonbills in these parts. But for the birds, it seems to be connected to habitat degradation ‘back home.’ Good news? Spoonbills may be more ready and able to move around and adapt than some other birds in response to stress conditions. Or so the writer below says.
