[nysbirds-l] East Hampton waterfowl
The Canada geese are back in large numbers (300+) at Hook Pond, but none of the uncommon geese species present. There was 1 individual that was completely dirty white except for its head which was classic Canada. A few mute swans, but no tundras, nor the trumpeter which has stayed put in Montauk. About a dozen red-breasted mergs and same number of hooded, with 2 commons present. A few mallard, black duck and 2 gadwall. I checked the jetty for purple sandpiper, but none there, so still haven't seen any this fall season yet. *Bruce Horwith* *16 Salt Marsh Path* *East Hampton, NY 11937* *(631) 599-0040 cell phone* -- 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/ --

[nysbirds-l] East Hampton: orange-crowned warbler; pink-footed goose; snow geese
The day started nicely with a small mixed flock of robins and cedar waxwings in my yard. Decided to check Hook Pond for rare geese and tundra swan, and though dipping on them, I was rewarded with an orange-crowned warbler south of Hook Pond in some bayberry shrubs. At Wainscott Pond, there were thousands of canada geese, 2 adult snow geese and at least 1 juvenile; a blue morph snow goose, and a pink-footed goose. I only got a poor view that showed some pink on the bill and leg, but not as clearly as I have seen it in the past (or wanted on this one), and brownish rather than blackish tone to the neck and head. Kudos to Anthony Collerton who was confident on the i.d. from some pics I sent him -- based on the brown coloring and structure of the bill. If anyone tries for the Wainscott birds (unsucessfully), you may also want to try west on Daniel's Lane, where some of the Wainscott flock relocated later in the day. *Bruce Horwith* *16 Salt Marsh Path* *East Hampton, NY 11937* *(631) 599-0040 cell phone* -- 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/ --
[nysbirds-l] East Hampton. purple sandpipers
Slow early morning of fishing but compensated by a group of 8 purple sandpipers on the first jetty east of the Georgica Pond connection to the ocean. These are regular winter visitors here, but it may be the first time I've had the pleasure of seeing them in 50+ degree weather. *Bruce Horwith* *16 Salt Marsh Path* *East Hampton, NY 11937* *(631) 599-0040 cell phone* -- 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/ --

[nysbirds-l] East Hampton shearwaters
A steady stream of birds heading east into the wind this evening as scoped from Georgica Beach in East Hampton from about 4:30 until 5:15, still going strong when I left. Same mix as on the 9th and 11th...pretty much all Cory's with the occasional Manx.

RE: [nysbirds-l] East Hampton, Main Beach: 16 April
Hi Peter and all, It's great to see more data concerning last winter's remarkable southward flight of Razorbills and its aftermath. Regarding the westward spring migration of White-winged Scoters (and also of Red-necked Grebes and Oldsquaws), this is a curious and incompletely understood phenomenon, but it was discerned by the old time gunners during the late 19th Century. See p. 285 here: http://sora.unm.edu/sites/default/files/journals/auk/v008n03/p0279-p0290.pdf More recently Dick Ferren and others have logged many days of spring seawatches documenting these flights, so this is a good reminder for us to record flight direction.

Took a quick walk around Sammy's Beach in East Hampton yesterday. Best birds for me were 2 Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrows but the whole area was fairly busy. The Least Tern colony is very active with 3 Roseate Terns also loafing on the beach and at least 2 pairs of Piping Plovers. Horned Larks are also very visible along the dirt road where they breed. Also present were American Oystercatcher, Osprey, Great Egret, Brown Thrasher and numerous Prairie Warblers. No sign of Clapper Rails unfortunately but it was mid-day. With regards to the Summer Tanagers, they still seem to be present. I heard a bird calling on Friday night, Ryan Walker saw the female in the yard on Saturday and I saw the male on Sunday.

I haven't heard many (or perhaps any) reports of this increasingly uncommon duck yet this spring. Three WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS continue along the dirt road to the south end of the pond. Good birding to all!

Re: [nysbirds-l] East Hampton Geese
To follow up on Anthony Collerton's post, I also took a quick look at the goose field on Further Lane in East Hampton (Suffolk Co.) late this afternoon. After a few scans I picked out the four 1st-basic GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE and seven CACKLING GEESE (continuing from 9 Jan). I've found that both species travel through the larger Canada Geese as fairly cohesive groups, so if you happen upon one individual it pays to follow it and the flock mates will 'appear', almost by magic. I suspect the geese like this field because there is no hunting or other disturbance. Indeed many birds were dozing in the late afternoon sun. If birders stay on the roadside (i.e. not up against the fence) and are careful not to slam car doors, the geese don't seem too bothered. -- Angus Wilson New York City & The Springs, NY, USA http://birdingtotheend.blogspot.com/ -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] East Hampton Geese
Made a quick stop at Further Lane early afternoon and picked up 3 White-fronted Geese and 6 Cackling Geese in the Canada flock in the usual field. May well have been more things tucked away in the back.
