[nysbirds-l] Plumb Beach, Kings County. BAIRD'S SANDPIPER

[Sean Sime]

To echo Angus Wilson's post, this morning at roughly 6:45am a juvenile
Baird's Sandpiper touched down on the flats at Plumb Beach. The bird stayed
for approximately 5 minutes. A poor quality phone scope image can be seen
in the Ebird checklist here.

http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S19634217

Other birders seemed to materialize instantly, but the Baird's had moved
on. Consolation prizes included 3 Pectoral Sandpipers and 4 Red Knot.

Both Seaside and Saltmarsh Sparrows were seen and the Clapper Rail show was
in full effect.

Good birding,

Sean Sime
Brooklyn, NY

[nysbirds-l] 6 Hudsonian Godwits @ Cupsogue Beach C.P. (Suffolk)

[Derek Rogers]

I snuck out onto the flats just before high tide crept in to try and capitalize 
on the coastal shorebird movement that was taking place today. Decent numbers 
of expected species were present with some obvious east - west movement along 
the bay and inside flats. Aside from 3 Whimbrels, and a lone AMERICAN 
GOLDEN-PLOVER, the highlight by far was watching a group of 6 HUDSONIAN GODWITS 
fly in from the east. The birds spent most of their time resting in the high 
water on the flats before they flew west to the beach (sandy stretch just west 
of main flats). After a short rest the birds continued on their journey west.

I also received an alert, and photo, from Justin Leclaire informing me that his 
colleagues had a juvenile BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER on the flats at low tide this 
AM.

Further east, at Mecox, John Shemilt had a productive morning also noting 
constant turnover. His highlights were 11 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS, 1 BAIRD'S 
SANDPIPER and 1 AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER. The continuing MARBLED GODWIT, along 
with a single Whimbrel, was also present. 

Best,

Derek Rogers

[nysbirds-l] Monday, while not Sunday, is still a day of thanks !

[robert adamo]

Firstly, I want to thank (alphabetically) Andrew Baksh, Gail Benson and Tom
Burke) for finding the Baird's Sandpiper on the Rt.105, Riverhead sod field
 yesterday.

Secondly, I'd like to thank Jeff Ritter for being at that location upon my
arrival this AM, and enabling me to quickly find the 6 A.Golden Plovers and
single Baird's Sandpiper he had seen earlier. Also present were 5 semi-
plovers, ~15 Killdeers and as least 1 least sandpiper. We then drove the
perimeter of the Golden Trapezium, which was devoid of birds.

We then headed west along Sound Ave to check out both the DeLea and
Dallalio Sod Farms. At the first we found 71 (we counted separately)
A.Golden Plovers, but the latter held none.

While giving thanks, I want to acknowledge those birders who came to my aid
this past Monday (8/24) while looking for the Common Ringed Plover on the
mud flats at Cupsogue Co.Pk. I had become dehydrated, feeling light-headed,
in addition to feeling very fatigued. This condition was observed by Kathy
Klecan, a nurse, who, found an irregular heart beat and said I needed
medical help. She then took off running (all the way) from the flats to the
First Aid Station on the boardwalk, to get help. While she was gone Gail
Benson,Tom Burke and Sue  Ken Feustel all shared their water with me -
thank you guys ! Thanks also to all of the other,assembled birders for
their well wishes. After a short while, Kathy came running back with the
good news that  the cavalry was on it's way ! They came in the form of 2,
4x4, wide tire, open John Deere all-terrain vehicles, but even they
couldn't make it across the fairly deep channel. Aided by Tom Burke, Shai
Mitra, Kathy and a walking stick, I  made it to there side ! Arriving at
the air-conditioned First Aid Station, they hydrated me enough, to get me
looking  feeling much better - thank you Gregg.! He recommended going to
the emergency room just to be safe. Kathy then volunteered to take me (I
couldn't reach my wife) and was in no condition to drive myself. After
getting me checked in, she left, to head to a family birthday party that
she was already late for - what a gal ! Kathy,thank you for taking
charge...I am for ever in your debt !

Cheers,
Bob

[nysbirds-l] Again I forgot !

[robert adamo]

Re: my last post, I neglected to mention that after giving me all sorts of
tests (they all were negative) I was able to go home that night, albeit,
not until ~ 11PM !

Also forgot to mention the moral of the story...never go out to the flats
on a hot day without liquids. Or in my case, don't get so excited about
seeing a bird (regardless of stature) that you leave home without it !

[nysbirds-l] 20 species of shorebirds today at JBWR East Pond

[Andrew Baksh]

Encouraged by Angus' e-mail early this morning, I decided to do a survey of
shorebirds on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay. I started from the north end
walking towards the south end then back towards the north end and finally
crossed over to the west side  before a Peregrine Falcon pushed the birds
off the north end, including the lone Hudsonian Godwit who was very
tolerant all day of its admirers, both birders and photographers.

While the Hudsonian Godwit was nice to see. The highlight of the day for
me, has to be the juvenile PIPING PLOVER that was seen by a few of us
 (including Tom Burke, Gail Benson and others) scoping from the east side
of the pond, picking up the bird on the west side of the north end of the
pond.

Other notable shorebird highlights included Baird's Sandpiper (1), Western
Sandpipers (11 adult and juveniles), White-rumped Sandpipers (15 adults
only), Pectoral Sandpipers (6), Sanderling (1) and Red Knot (1)

Both Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, adults and juveniles were observed but
in low numbers. They tend to find small corners on the pond where they feed
undisturbed.

Juveniles of Short-billed Dowitchers were in excellent numbers with only 2
adults seen out of a total of 78. A couple of juvenile Stilts continue
along with multiple juveniles of Western Sandpipers, Semipalmated
Sandpipers and Least Sandpipers.

I looked for but did not see the candidate for Long-billed Dowitcher that
was reported and then later retracted yesterday.

In non shorebirds news, numbers of Northern Shoveler, Green-winged Teal and
Blue-winged Teal have started to build.

Cheers,

風 Swift as the wind
林 Quiet as the forest
火 Conquer like the fire

[nysbirds-l] Piping Plover on the East Pond

[Steve Walter]

It's not a Ringed Plover - it even nests just a few miles away - yet it's
one of the rarest shorebirds at Jamaica Bay. It must have happened before,
although I can't remember one in the last 30 years - but a Piping Plover
(juvenile) showed up on the East Pond today. I saw it just north of the
Raunt around 11:30, probably just after Andrew had it further north. A
picture of it can be seen on my recent work page (at
http://www.stevewalternature.com/) , along with yesterday's dowitcher that
understandably generated a bit of interest. As far as I know, it was not
seen today. However, a picture of a definite Long-billed Dowitcher, seen
today, was sent to me.

When the refuge was first created Piping Plovers nested on the East Pond. Off

[nysbirds-l] Plumb Beach, Kings County. BAIRD'S SANDPIPER

[Sean Sime]

To echo Angus Wilson's post, this morning at roughly 6:45am a juvenile
Baird's Sandpiper touched down on the flats at Plumb Beach. The bird stayed

Other birders seemed to materialize instantly, but the Baird's had moved

Both Seaside and Saltmarsh Sparrows were seen and the Clapper Rail show was

[nysbirds-l] 6 Hudsonian Godwits @ Cupsogue Beach C.P. (Suffolk)

[Derek Rogers]

I snuck out onto the flats just before high tide crept in to try and capitalize 
on the coastal shorebird movement that was taking place today. Decent numbers 
of expected species were present with some obvious east - west movement along 
the bay and inside flats. Aside from 3 Whimbrels, and a lone AMERICAN 
GOLDEN-PLOVER, the highlight by far was watching a group of 6 HUDSONIAN GODWITS 
fly in from the east. The birds spent most of their time resting in the high 
water on the flats before they flew west to the beach (sandy stretch just west 
of main flats). After a short rest the birds continued on their journey west.

I also received an alert, and photo, from Justin Leclaire informing me that his 
colleagues had a juvenile BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER on the flats at low tide this 
AM.

Further east, at Mecox, John Shemilt had a productive morning also noting 
constant turnover. His highlights were 11 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS, 1 BAIRD'S 
SANDPIPER and 1 AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER. The continuing MARBLED GODWIT, along 
with a single Whimbrel, was also present. 

Best,

[nysbirds-l] Monday, while not Sunday, is still a day of thanks !

[robert adamo]

Firstly, I want to thank (alphabetically) Andrew Baksh, Gail Benson and Tom
Burke) for finding the Baird's Sandpiper on the Rt.105, Riverhead sod field
 yesterday.

Secondly, I'd like to thank Jeff Ritter for being at that location upon my
arrival this AM, and enabling me to quickly find the 6 A.Golden Plovers and
single Baird's Sandpiper he had seen earlier. Also present were 5 semi-
plovers, ~15 Killdeers and as least 1 least sandpiper. We then drove the
perimeter of the "Golden Trapezium", which was devoid of birds.

We then headed west along Sound Ave to check out both the DeLea and
Dallalio Sod Farms. At the first we found 71 (we counted separately)
A.Golden Plovers, but the latter held none.

While giving thanks, I want to acknowledge those birders who came to my aid
this past Monday (8/24) while looking for the Common Ringed Plover on the
mud flats at Cupsogue Co.Pk. I had become dehydrated, feeling light-headed,
in addition to feeling very fatigued. This condition was observed by Kathy
Klecan, a nurse, who, found an irregular heart beat and said I needed
medical help. She then took off running (all the way) from the flats to the
First Aid Station on the boardwalk, to get help. While she was gone Gail
Benson,Tom Burke and Sue & Ken Feustel all shared their water with me -
thank you guys ! Thanks also to all of the other,assembled birders for
their well wishes. After a short while, Kathy came running back with the
good news that  "the cavalry was on it's way" ! They came in the form of 2,
4x4, wide tire, open John Deere all-terrain vehicles, but even they
couldn't make it across the fairly deep channel. Aided by Tom Burke, Shai
Mitra, Kathy and a walking stick, I  made it to there side ! Arriving at
the air-conditioned First Aid Station, they hydrated me enough, to get me
looking & feeling much better - thank you Gregg.! He recommended going to
the emergency room just to be safe. Kathy then volunteered to take me (I
couldn't reach my wife) and was in no condition to drive myself. After
getting me checked in, she left, to head to a family birthday party that
she was already late for - what a gal ! Kathy,thank you for taking
charge...I am for ever in your debt !

Cheers,
Bob

[nysbirds-l] Again I forgot !

[robert adamo]

Re: my last post, I neglected to mention that after giving me all sorts of
tests (they all were negative) I was able to go home that night, albeit,
not until ~ 11PM !

Also forgot to mention the moral of the story...never go out to the "flats"
on a hot day without liquids. Or in my case, don't get so excited about
seeing a bird (regardless of stature) that you leave home without it !

[nysbirds-l] 20 species of shorebirds today at JBWR East Pond

[Andrew Baksh]

Encouraged by Angus' e-mail early this morning, I decided to do a survey of
shorebirds on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay. I started from the north end
walking towards the south end then back towards the north end and finally
crossed over to the west side  before a Peregrine Falcon pushed the birds
off the north end, including the lone Hudsonian Godwit who was very
tolerant all day of its admirers, both birders and photographers.

While the Hudsonian Godwit was nice to see. The highlight of the day for
me, has to be the juvenile PIPING PLOVER that was seen by a few of us
 (including Tom Burke, Gail Benson and others) scoping from the east side
of the pond, picking up the bird on the west side of the north end of the
pond.

Other notable shorebird highlights included Baird's Sandpiper (1), Western
Sandpipers (11 adult and juveniles), White-rumped Sandpipers (15 adults
only), Pectoral Sandpipers (6), Sanderling (1) and Red Knot (1)

Both Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, adults and juveniles were observed but
in low numbers. They tend to find small corners on the pond where they feed
undisturbed.

Juveniles of Short-billed Dowitchers were in excellent numbers with only 2
adults seen out of a total of 78. A couple of juvenile Stilts continue
along with multiple juveniles of Western Sandpipers, Semipalmated
Sandpipers and Least Sandpipers.

I looked for but did not see the candidate for Long-billed Dowitcher that
was reported and then later retracted yesterday.

In non shorebirds news, numbers of Northern Shoveler, Green-winged Teal and
Blue-winged Teal have started to build.

Cheers,

風 Swift as the wind
林 Quiet as the forest
火 Conquer like the fire
山 Steady as the mountain

[nysbirds-l] Piping Plover on the East Pond

[Steve Walter]

It's not a Ringed Plover - it even nests just a few miles away - yet it's
one of the rarest shorebirds at Jamaica Bay. It must have happened before,
although I can't remember one in the last 30 years - but a Piping Plover
(juvenile) showed up on the East Pond today. I saw it just north of the
Raunt around 11:30, probably just after Andrew had it further north. A
picture of it can be seen on my recent work page (at
http://www.stevewalternature.com/) , along with yesterday's dowitcher that
understandably generated a bit of interest. As far as I know, it was not
seen today. However, a picture of a definite Long-billed Dowitcher, seen
today, was sent to me.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Piping Plover on the East Pond

[Peter Post]

When the refuge was first created Piping Plovers nested on the East Pond. Off 
course conditions were very different then. The area was mostly dredge spoil.
