[nysbirds-l] Lido Beach Passive Nature Area

[Andrew Block]

Thanks to help from Pat Aiken I was able to see the stilt in the far left pool 
seen from the berm on the Lookout Trail.  Also seen were a couple of 
yellowlegs, a large flock of sandpipers flying in the distance, an 
oystercatcher, 2 Black-bellied Plovers, a male Indigo Bunting, and a 
Blue-headed and Warbling Vireo.

[nysbirds-l] Lido Beach

[syschiff]

The Prothonotary and Orange-crowned Warblers continue. Both move around a bit, 
so requires patience. Both are very bright adults, the Prothonotary especially 
so. Seen till 11:00 when I left.

[nysbirds-l] Lido Beach

[syschiff]

Lido Beach Passive Nature Area, 12 July

High tide. Other than breeding WILLETS, few shorebirds; namely 3 SHORT-BILLED 
DOWITCHERS, 2 GREATER YELLOWLEGS and several SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS.

There was a continuous, sporadic movement of COMMON TERNS flying between the 
channel and the Nickerson Beach colony to the south. One tern, in opposition, 
flying west instead of north/south, turned out to be a GULL-BILLED TERN.

A WILLOW FLYCATCHER called continuously as I approached the trail to the 
channel, but was silent on my return. There were BOAT-TAILED GRACKLES feeding 
in the marsh.
The planted grass land in front of the parking lot has extensive wild flowers 
in bloom. Stopped to take some pictures while serenaded by the usual breeding 
birds.

[nysbirds-l] Lido Beach Marine Conservation Area-Tricoloured heron

[Cesar Castillo]

Hi all,

Made an attempt at terns yesterday afternoon at Nicerkson beach, just saw 
Common Terns and 1 or 2 least terns.
At Lido Beach Marine Conservation Area I saw Forster's terns and the only other 
thing of note was a Tricoloured Heron in the marshes.

as far as I know, the only purple martin colonies in lower mainlaind NYS are in 
Rye, Westchester County, on the immediate soundshore and one colony in Ulster 
County alongside the NYS Thruway. so to hear of a thriving colony in putnam 
county is quite newsworthy, IMO. Perhaps tom burke, rich guthrie or others, can 
chime in on this.

[nysbirds-l] Lido Beach Passive Nature Area

[sy schiff]

Lido Beach Passive Nature Area  19 Dec.

This bay side salt marsh to the west of the Pt. Lookout marinas now shows 
little damage from the effects of "Sandy" except for 4 medium sized downed 
trees at the beginning of the trail leading to the bay. These trees were a 
favorite perch for Boat-tailed Grackles in spring and summer.  Where the marsh 
previously was an almost solid expanse of marsh grass, there is now a 
significant increase in the number of pools of water scoured out by the 
hurricane.  This looks positive for shore birding this coming spring.

One of the 2 Bay houses on the west side of Meadow Island, directly across the 
bay from the preserve, is gone, the other has damage. Several houses on Cinder 
Island, the island to the west of Meadow, also appear to be gone, but without a 
scope, I couldn't assess the damage

Because of the high winds, there was little in the way of birds except for a 
friendly Black-capped Chickadee.  Out in the marsh were Mallards, Black Ducks 
and a single SNOW GOOSE. A wind buffeted COOPER'S HAWK flew over.  Following 
the sign to the Rest Rooms from the parking lot, you go by the maintenance yard 
which has a significant pile of clam shells. The pile was covered with gulls 
this morning, but nothing beyond Herring Gulls and a single Great Black-backed 
Gull. Worth a look.
