[nysbirds-l] Neotropic Cormorant, Jamaica Bay

[Joshua Malbin]

In going over photos from a kayak paddle today in Jamaica Bay, I discovered
what appears to be an adult Neotropic Cormorant that was roosting on the
northeastern sandbar of Yellow Bar Hassock at about 9:45 am. Since other
individuals of this species in the area have returned repeatedly to the
same locations, it may be worth looking for it with a scope from the former
breach on the West Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.

Good birding,

Joshua Malbin

[nysbirds-l] Neotropic Cormorant persists on Staten Island, 6/24

[Anthony Ciancimino]

Although inconsistently seen, the Neotropic Cormorant that I originally found 
on 6/11 persists today, 6/24, at Wolfe’s Pond here on Staten Island. The bird 
shows a preference to rest on a fallen tree along the west side of the pond, 
viewed here:

[nysbirds-l] Neotropic Cormorant - YES - Newburgh Waterfront, Hudson River, Orange County

[Timothy Healy]

The Neotropic Cormorant reported yesterday evening by Bruce Nott and Ken 
McDermott just flew in and started fishing along the Newburgh Waterfront 
offshore from the rowing club. This location can be accessed along the 
Waterfront Trail. While I was typing this email, the bird was flushed by a 
group of jet skis and headed downriver. I watched it hook in towards the 
shipyard a bit south of this location on the same side of the river. Apparently 
yesterday it was loafing on low pilings that are presently underwater, so 
hopefully it will return to this site.

The news from folks here is that the Neotropical Cormorant flew off at about 3 
40 PM. it had not returned to the pond by nightfall. A few searched around 
other likely spots with no luck.

The locations were near Lake Erie between the Dunkirk-Fredonia exit and the
Westfield exit from the NYS Thruway. If coming from the north, exit at
Dunkirk-Fredonia and turn left onto NY 60. In 0.6 miles, turn right onto Rt
20 (heading southwest). In 1.4 miles, turn right onto Temple Street in
Fredonia. In 1.1 miles turn left onto Matteson, across from SUNY Fredonia.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Neotropic Cormorant - Chatauqua County

[Willie D'Anna and Betsy Potter]

After reading the post below this morning, Gale VerHague went out looking
for the NEOTROPIC CORMORANT and she found it(!) on Lake Erie at Lake Erie
State Park, just north of Brocton. This is about five miles from where Jim
Pawlicki first saw it this morning. She sent out a text alert to WNYBIRDS at
11:30. The bird flew a little after 1:00 but Sue Barth and Gale relocated it
about two miles away at a large pond on Van Buren Road (County Route 73) in
the Town of Pomfret. The bird left the pond twice for about 15 minutes each
time. As Celeste Morien and I raced down to try for the bird, Sue kept us
updated with texts. Three times our greatest fears were realized when she
told us that it had taken off. Twice our excitement reached new heights when
she said it had been refound. When we arrived, however, the bird was not
there. But somehow it snuck in and Greg Lawrence noticed it! It stayed for
the entire time we were there, about an hour. Mostly it sat on the grass on
the back side of the pond but it was also swimming around the pond. There
were 25 or so Double-crested Cormorants at the pond also.

 

Big kudos to Jim for identifying the bird while driving, something most
mortals would not even attempt, as well as for getting the word out. The
same to Gale for having the initiative to search for the bird and having in
mind good places to check. I think it's amazing that she found it twice
(with Sue's help the second time), miles apart.

 

Record shots will be up on my Flickr site shortly.

 

DIRECTIONS:

The locations were near Lake Erie between the Dunkirk-Fredonia exit and the
Westfield exit from the NYS Thruway. If coming from the north, exit at
Dunkirk-Fredonia and turn left onto NY 60. In 0.6 miles, turn right onto Rt
20 (heading southwest). In 1.4 miles, turn right onto Temple Street in
Fredonia. In 1.1 miles turn left onto Matteson, across from SUNY Fredonia.
Matteson eventually becomes Van Buren Road. In 2.5 miles from Temple Street,
the pond will be in your right. Lake Erie S.P. is about two miles southwest
of the pond.

 

Good birding!

Willie

At 6:42 this morning, Jim Pawlicki texted to WNYBIRDS that he had an adult
NEOTROPIC CORMORANT while driving on the NYS Thruway. The bird was flying
WSW, basically following the Thruway, with a flock of 12 Double-crested
Cormorants. He pulled over onto the shoulder and got a look at the bird in
his binoculars, noting the white on the head. Fortunately, the flock flew
right over him when he was out of the car and he managed to get a record
shot of the flock with his cell phone. The photo shows a much smaller
cormorant. The location was along the I-90 between Temple Road and Brigham
Road in Fredonia. Barcelona Harbor would be a spot worth checking for this
bird. If there is a Chautauqua County birding list or facebook page, could
someone please cross-post this?

 

Earlier this month there was a Neotropic Cormorant in Hamilton, Ontario that
stayed for several days. Local birders have been looking for the species in
western NY. There are currently no accepted records of Neotropic Cormorant
in New York State. A record of one flying by Hamlin Beach SP a couple of
years ago, which was also photographed, is currently under review by the
committee.

 

Good birding!

Road in Fredonia. Barcelona Harbor would be a spot worth checking for this
bird. If there is a Chautauqua County birding list or facebook page, could
someone please cross-post this?

 

Earlier this month there was a Neotropic Cormorant in Hamilton, Ontario that
stayed for several days. Local birders have been looking for the species in
western NY. There are currently no accepted records of Neotropic Cormorant
in New York State. A record of one flying by Hamlin Beach SP a couple of
years ago, which was also photographed, is currently under review by the
committee.

 

Good birding!

RE: [nysbirds-l] Neotropic Cormorant - Chatauqua County

[Willie D'Anna and Betsy Potter]

After reading the post below this morning, Gale VerHague went out looking
for the NEOTROPIC CORMORANT and she found it(!) on Lake Erie at Lake Erie
State Park, just north of Brocton. This is about five miles from where Jim
Pawlicki first saw it this morning. She sent out a text alert to WNYBIRDS at
11:30. The bird flew a little after 1:00 but Sue Barth and Gale relocated it
about two miles away at a large pond on Van Buren Road (County Route 73) in
the Town of Pomfret. The bird left the pond twice for about 15 minutes each
time. As Celeste Morien and I raced down to try for the bird, Sue kept us
updated with texts. Three times our greatest fears were realized when she
told us that it had taken off. Twice our excitement reached new heights when
she said it had been refound. When we arrived, however, the bird was not
there. But somehow it snuck in and Greg Lawrence noticed it! It stayed for
the entire time we were there, about an hour. Mostly it sat on the grass on
the back side of the pond but it was also swimming around the pond. There
were 25 or so Double-crested Cormorants at the pond also.

 

Big kudos to Jim for identifying the bird while driving, something most
mortals would not even attempt, as well as for getting the word out. The
same to Gale for having the initiative to search for the bird and having in
mind good places to check. I think it's amazing that she found it twice
(with Sue's help the second time), miles apart.

 

Record shots will be up on my Flickr site shortly.

 

DIRECTIONS:

The locations were near Lake Erie between the Dunkirk-Fredonia exit and the
Westfield exit from the NYS Thruway. If coming from the north, exit at
Dunkirk-Fredonia and turn left onto NY 60. In 0.6 miles, turn right onto Rt
20 (heading southwest). In 1.4 miles, turn right onto Temple Street in
Fredonia. In 1.1 miles turn left onto Matteson, across from SUNY Fredonia.
Matteson eventually becomes Van Buren Road. In 2.5 miles from Temple Street,
the pond will be in your right. Lake Erie S.P. is about two miles southwest
of the pond.

 

Good birding!

Willie

At 6:42 this morning, Jim Pawlicki texted to WNYBIRDS that he had an adult
NEOTROPIC CORMORANT while driving on the NYS Thruway. The bird was flying
WSW, basically following the Thruway, with a flock of 12 Double-crested
Cormorants. He pulled over onto the shoulder and got a look at the bird in
his binoculars, noting the white on the head. Fortunately, the flock flew
right over him when he was out of the car and he managed to get a record
shot of the flock with his cell phone. The photo shows a much smaller
cormorant. The location was along the I-90 between Temple Road and Brigham

[nysbirds-l] NEOTROPIC CORMORANT - Hamlin Beach (Monroe County)

[Andy Guthrie]

This morning I photographed a NEOTROPIC CORMORANT flying west at Hamlin
Beach.  It was with about 25 Double-crested Cormorants (DCCO) and I got
several photographs with DCCOs for comparison.  The Neotropic immediately
looked smaller and longer-tailed, and these points are apparent in the
photos as well as the more limited, sharply-angled gular patch coming to a
point at the rear; smaller bill; dark lores; and hint of white feathering
at the rear of the facial skin.

Unedited photographs are posted here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/44406668@N06/

This would be a first state record pending NYSARC acceptance.

Thanks to Marshall Iliff, Willie D'Anna and Jim Pawlicki for comments on
the ID.

Cheers,
Andy Guthrie
Hamlin, NY
