[nysbirds-l] YT Warbler, W Kingbird clarification

[Patricia Lindsay]

To add to Dave Klauber's post (thanks, Dave), it was Sharon and Marc Brody
who had just spotted the Yellow-throated Warbler as I was arriving on the
scene this evening. I kept track of it for about 40 minutes until Shai Mitra
arrived; he got to see it as well. The bird was well east of the picnic
tables (which are in the closed lot to the west as you come over the
bridge), but still favoring that north edge of the lot(s), moving with a few
other warblers slowly eastward; it foraged among the trees and low veg just
inside the split rail fence (in fact, often along the fence itself) that is
just north of the flagpole in the traffic circle straight in off the bridge.
We left it in the cedars hugging the west side of the main building that is
in the open Lot # 1 (around 6PM).  

 

The Western Kingbird was in the northwest corner of the closed parking lot,
west of the picnic tables.

[nysbirds-l] Raven in Plainview, Nassau Co.

[Patricia Lindsay]

Marc and Sharon Brody observed a Raven in their yard in Plainview, Nassau
Co., Long Island yesterday afternoon. Marc sent photos; the bird had some
large unidentifiable food item in its bill and was being harassed by crows.
This location is approximately 8-10 miles east of where Ravens have been
previously reported in Nassau County.

[nysbirds-l] Lesser Black-backed Gulls Robert Moses SP Suffolk Co.

[Patricia Lindsay]

As you may have surmised from Shai's peculiar syntax in his earlier post, I
had NOT yet finished my survey of the parking lots at Robert Moses-and that
reports of multiple Lesser Black-backed Gulls get him a bit excited.

 

After completing my tour of Fields 2 and 5, not having seen any other birds
of note, I returned to the original flock and found two additional juveniles
and a one year old LBBG along with the original juv and the adult. 

 

Some of my photos are posted on Shai's picasa site, starting here:

[nysbirds-l] Is the Captree Ground-Dove still there?

[Patricia Lindsay]

The last report I have is from November 28th. With the Captree Christmas
Count looming near now (and for those that still haven't seen it) it would
be great if we could confirm its continuing presence and, if so, get a feel
for its new location(s). I would encourage everyone to take a look if you're
birding the beach, and contact me or the list with any reports, positive or
negative.

[nysbirds-l] Grasshopper Sparrow Jones Beach Suffolk Co. 20 Mar

[patricia lindsay]

During an otherwise slow day of birding around the barrier beaches 
yesterday, Joan Quinlan called to report a Grasshopper Sparrow that she 
and Gerta Fritz had observed from the southeast corner of the boardwalk 
at the Nature Center at Jones Beach West End around noon. Shai and I and 
others looked for it extensively for the next hour but had no luck, 
though it might well still be present in the extensive dune system 
there. We would be interested in any further reports.


Among other birds seen at Jones Beach were two Red Knots resting with 
Black-bellied Plovers in the dunes south of the Nature Center and small 
numbers of Tree Swallows in the air.  Later in the afternoon, at the 
Bayard Cutting Arboretum in East Islip, we found three Golden-crowned 
Kinglets in the pines, and Dark-eyed Juncos were singing from the shrubs 
near the mansion.

[nysbirds-l] Robert Moses SP seawatch Suffolk Co.

[Patricia Lindsay]

To follow up on Shai Mitra's post, a rather slow but steady seawatch from
Robert Moses Field 2 this morning from 7:30 to 9:50 produced the following
birds:

 

16 Black Scoter - all one flock

51 Common Loon

7 Sooty Shearwater

51 Northern Gannet

7 Laughing Gull

17 Herring Gull

1 Great Black-backed Gull

33 Least Tern

1 Black Tern (alternate plumage)

10 Roseate Tern

~180 Common Tern

1 Forster's Tern (ad)

 

Joan Quinlan joined me about 8:40 and got to see the last two shearwaters.
Almost everything was migrating/feeding west to east; for the last half hour
or so there were some (returning?) east-to-west No. Gannets and Common
Terns.  No jaegers or shorebirds of any kind were seen. A few Barn Swallows
were passing, mostly east to west, and an Osprey was attracted to the
feeding flocks of Common Terns near shore at two points.

 

The wind was moderate out of the southeast, eventually turning more east,
with only a few slight showers and very good visibility.

[Patricia Lindsay]

Joan Quinlan just called to report a male Summer Tanager at Gilgo. The 
bird is in the community to the east of the marina, 3-4 houses from the

Good luck if you try for it.

[nysbirds-l] Cupsogue CP, Long Island

[Patricia Lindsay]

Among a nice gathering of shorebirds and terns on the flats was an 
exceptionally early adult Arctic Tern and a somewhat early White-rumped 
Sandpiper. On the ocean side our forlorn effort to connect with Pete and 
Taylor's Yellow-nosed Albatross yielded a single Sooty Shearwater heading east, 
along with fair numbers of  gannets, terns and scoters.

[nysbirds-l] Bob Kurtz, now passed

[Patricia Lindsay]

Our dear friend Bobby Kurtz passed away today, after several months of 
illness.



Bobby was an unforgettable birder, whose enthusiasm added excitement to 
our collective adventure of birds. Being with him was a natural part of 
decades of discovery for us. We learned a lot together, and enjoyed it 
all immensely.




Details of arrangements will follow soon.


Northwest winds are forecast tomorrow at the Fire Island hawkwatch, 
where Bobby sought them so often.

RE: [nysbirds-l] OCWA or MGWA

[Patricia Lindsay]

And please allow me to clarify that I have no idea why it is circulating 
that I put the blessing on the ID as MacGillivray's after having a 
single 2 second look at a tiny image on someone's phone on Sunday. My 
reaction was simply a "wow" and I never pursued it further.

[nysbirds-l] Hudsonian Godwits at Heckscher SP Suffolk Co.

[Patricia Lindsay]

This morning there were were two juvenile Hudsonian Godwits present in 
the Field 7 lot, neither of which had any afflictions, meaning there is 
at least one other juvenile to add to the total number of godwits 
frequenting the lot. (The tumor-afflicted juvenile was not seen while I 
was there.) A Pectoral Sandpiper was also present.

The adult Hudwit with the injured leg eventually flew in from the east 
with a flock of 28 Black-bellies and some Dunlin, and sat down on a 
grassy strip on the west side of the lot. The puddles in the grass on 
the east side are no more, and the puddle in the lot itself is fast 
disappearing.

[nysbirds-l] Seasonally unusual species Robert Moses SP, Suffolk Co.

[Patricia Lindsay]

  Following yesterday's report of our very late Blue Grosbeak at Jones 
Beach, and reports of Indigo Buntings and other seasonally unusual 
migrants at Sandy Hook, NJ, this morning, Shai Mitra is at Robert Moses 
checking to see what's there. He reports very few birds, but among those 
he's found so far are two White-eyed Vireos, two Northern Parulas, an 
Indigo Bunting and a Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

[nysbirds-l] Holly Wilson, 1986-2017

[Patricia Lindsay]

A great many of our friends in the New York birding community knew Holly 
Wilson, our beloved niece, frequent birding companion, and vibrant young 
woman. We lost our Holly on Tuesday, to suicide.


We so appreciate the kind thoughts and feelings many of you have shared 
with us, helping us through our fog of grief. It means more than you 
could ever know.


Some have asked for details about the wake. We will be celebrating 
Holly's life this coming Sunday, 12 November, at 2:00-6:00 pm, at the 
Overton Funeral Home (172 Main Street Islip, NY 11751; 631-581-5085). 
According to her wishes, she will be cremated, and her ashes will be 
spread at a favorite birding location in East Hampton at a later date.

FW: [nysbirds-l] Holly Wilson, 1986-2017

[Patricia Lindsay]

Sorry for the reposting, I just found this out. Holly's husband and 
family ask that in lieu of flowers, please consider a gift to one of the 
organizations below.

Donors Choose -  https://www.donorschoose.org/  This is a crowd funding 
site for educators, and connects teacher in high-needs communities with 
donors.

Holly was an ESL teacher in the School of Discovery and Exploration in 
Sunset Park, Brooklyn, PS503. She taught mainly kindergarten and first 
graders who spoke Chinese, Spanish, Urdu, and many other languages, and 
was often their first contact in the English-speaking community. Helping 
out in the classrooms with the literacy side of their education, she 
brought them from having no English at all to being able to speak and 
read it. She loved her 'babies' and stood up for them at every 
opportunity. 


New York State Ornithological Association - 
http://www.nybirds.org/FedDonations.htm  We all know how important this 
organization is to the birding community and to conservation and 
education in general.

Thank you all again for your comforting words and thoughts.

Pat and Shai

 Date: 11/09/17 09:43:43 AM
 From: "Patricia Lindsay" <pjlind...@optonline.net>
 To: "NYS Birds" <NYSBIRDS-L@cornell.edu>

 A great many of our friends in the New York birding community knew 
Holly Wilson, our beloved niece, frequent birding companion, and vibrant 
young woman. We lost our Holly on Tuesday, to suicide.

We so appreciate the kind thoughts and feelings many of you have shared 
with us, helping us through our fog of grief. It means more than you 
could ever know.

Some have asked for details about the wake. We will be celebrating 
Holly's life this coming Sunday, 12 November, at 2:00-6:00 pm, at the 
Overton Funeral Home (172 Main Street Islip, NY 11751; 631-581-5085). 
According to her wishes, she will be cremated, and her ashes will be 
spread at a favorite birding location in East Hampton at a later date.

[nysbirds-l] Say's Phoebe NO

[Patricia Lindsay]

Not seen again but there is so much habitat here. I looked briefly at Field 4 
on the other side of the big marsh with no luck. By the way, the original 
location was outside and east of Field 8, not 7, where the small cedars are.

[nysbirds-l] Mountain Bluebird update NO

[Patricia Lindsay]

Before leaving the beach I returned to Robert Moses Field 2 and 
patrolled the edges, and also walked into the picnic area (last seen 
here before it had disappeared earlier). I also checked down the 
sidewalk that leads to the club house at the golf course. No luck with 
the Mountain Bluebird. I left the area about 20 minutes ago.

[nysbirds-l] White-faced Ibis and Brown Pelicans Fire Island Inlet, Suffolk

[Patricia Lindsay]

An adult White-faced Ibis was among many waders and shorebirds at the Captree 
Marsh, and three Brown Pelicans flew west to east along the ocean beach at 
nearby Robert Moses SP. The first pelican, a juv, passed at 7:35 and appeared 
to cross the barrier near the bridge, as though heading toward Captree. Ten 
minutes later an adult an older imm passed to east as far as we could see. 
Otherwise just 5 Cory's Shearwaters so far.

[nysbirds-l] Lesser Black-backed Gulls at Robert Moses SP and Heckscher SP, Suffolk Co.

[Patricia Lindsay]

Shai Mitra just called to report 69 Lesser Black-backed Gulls at Robert 
Moses--17 at Field 2 and 52 at Field 5. They are of all ages, including 
1 juvenile, and many SY, older immatures and adults.

I had 4 at Heckscher SP Field 6 earlier.

The puddles at Field 7 are filling slowly but the grassy areas were 
still not flooded as of this morning. An Osprey was up to its belly 
bathing in the center puddle. There were even 14 Mallards; there haven't 
been any ducks in weeks.  While I was there 3 Greater Yellowlegs came 
and went, and 5 Semipalmated Plovers, a Least Sandpiper and the usual 
number of Killdeer (8 today) were staying put. But it is of course a 
very dynamic situation, especially with the storms around, so I expect 
there will be a lot of turnover in the next few days.

[nysbirds-l] Lesser Black-backed Gull update Heckscjer SP Suffolk - NO

[Patricia Lindsay]

This evening on my way home from work I checked the boat basin, Field 6 
and Field 7 and, interestingly,  had NO Lesser Black-backed Gulls.



Of interest in Field 7 though, where the puddles continue to fill, I had 
my first juvenile Black-belled Plover and juvenile Ring-billed Gull of 
the season. Photos of the Ring-billed Gull are on my eBird checklist:

Got word at 7:15 that there were no birds in the rain pool, but there 
are some folks holding vigil there and checking Heckscher as well. If I 
get any updates I'll post here.

[nysbirds-l] Glossy Ibis Heckscher SP Suffolk

[Patricia Lindsay]

Two Glossy Ibis flew over the boat basin at Heckscher SP this morning 
around 8:20, heading east, on the early side for Suffolk Co.


I was hoping they would put down in the marsh but they appeared to keep 
going. I did not have time to check Timber Point but it may be worth a 
look.

[nysbirds-l] Heckscher SP, Suffolk County

[Patricia Lindsay]

  Yesterday I was alerted to six juvenile Pectoral Sandpipers and two 
Dunlin among the birds visiting the Heckscher puddles. When I arrived, 
several people with cameras were out of their cars attempting to get 
photos or get closer looks. These folks were approaching cautiously and 
slowly, and while the birds did not immediately flush, they were 
obviously hyper-alert, interfering with their ability to feed, rest and 
preen in peace.

I was curious about the age of the Dunlins, as they were in a 
transitional plumage I suspected to be molting juvs. So I returned to 
the site this morning, where I was very upset to see, not for the first 
time, photographers in two cars and a truck positioned RIGHT IN THE 
PUDDLE, practically on top of and surrounding the birds. I decided this 
would not be a pleasant study and left.

I can no longer remain silent on this issue. Folks, where is your common 
sense, courtesy, and decency? Give these birds a chance! Is your photo 
more important than the well-being of these migrating birds? Give other 
birds who may be avoiding this disruption a chance to land and feed or 
rest as well.  And give other birders a chance to see them! Another 
birder, scoping the birds from great distance, through gaps among the 
closely gathered vehicles, was completely blocked when  the truck, 
already on top of the birds, was re-positioned to be EVEN CLOSER to the 
birds.

PLEASE - Stay in your cars! Or scope from a distance.
PLEASE - Stay out of the main puddles. Especially do not drive up 
near/onto the grassy berm in the center of the main puddle.
Please keep your distance --these long-distance migrants are dropping in 
to rest and preen and feed, impossible with such pressure on them so 
constantly.
And please have respect for others trying to see the birds.

The Dunlin, by the way, are indeed molting juveniles, as confirmed this 
morning by Shai.

Subject: RE: [nysbirds-l] Scissor-tail Flycatcher, Montauk, Suffolk Co.

The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher remained in the fields south of Montauk 
Highway for several hours, where it was admired by several shifts of 
birders. It was generally quite cooperative, feeding actively and 
perching on the fencelines, but occasionally it would retreat into the 
trees along the east side of the hollow for five or ten minutes, where 
it was generally not possible to see (eagle-eyed Pat was able to discern 
it in this context a couple of times, on different perches). It was 
still behaving this way when Pat and I returned from the point at 3:30. 
About fifteen minutes later, however, it moved north to the trees at the 
northeast corner of the field, paused briefly, then flew high and north 
across the road. Those of us who were present were able to re-find it 
across the road, perching on a snag in the south pasture of the Dude 
Ranch, but it remained there only briefly. Before 4:00, it flew high and 
out of sight over the hill to the north, perhaps landing in one of the 
more northerly pastures of the Dude Ranch. We scanned what we could see 
from the County Park overlooking Deep Hollow, but the northern portion 
of that property is being used for pasturing horses, so we couldn't walk 
north far enough to look into the more remote pastures.


There was a lot of bird activity in Montauk, from passerine migrants to 
seabirds. Several hundred Cory's Shearwaters were feeding off the point 
and in the Sound north and west to at least the Lake Montauk Inlet, and 
we saw four Parasitic Jaegers.

[nysbirds-l] Ash-throated Flycatcher Heckscher SP, Suffolk Co.

[Patricia Lindsay]

An earlier attempt to post this seems not to have gotten through; 
apologies for the repeat if it finally does.



Joan Quinlan found an Ash-throated Flycatcher here earlier today. Shai 
Mitra was able to refind the bird around 4PM in the scrub between Field 
6 and the defunct pool building. At a little after 5PM the bird flew 
north into the inner marsh, but not far. Taylor Sturm was able to refind 
it there, and saw it fly back to the area directly north of the pool 
building, where Joan had found it originally.

[nysbirds-l] 5th Annual Seatuck LI Birding Challenge Results

[Patricia Lindsay]

The 5th Annual Seatuck LI Birding Challenge was conducted on 15 
September this year, and although the light southeast winds were not the 
most favorable for migration, the weather was pleasant and cool, and a 
great variety of species was found.
   
  Ten teams competed this year, and it was exciting to welcome three new 
teams (Jack Gro Dim, Brooklyn Dippers and Bird Brainz). Total 
participants numbered 39, and it was this robust coverage that afforded 
the high number and variety of species.
   
  The teams found a total of 180 species, amazingly just four shy of 
last year's total when we had a windfall overnight migration preceding 
the count morning. The cumulative total for the five years now stands at 
231, with a dozen species added this year: Great Shearwater, Tricolored 
Heron, Sora, Whimbrel, Western Sandpiper, Whip-poor-will, Black-billed 
Cuckoo, Red-headed Woodpecker, Purple Martin, Cliff Swallow, Worm-eating 
Warbler, and Blue Grosbeak.
   
  Changing things up a bit this year, some of the long-time teams 
re-amalgamated alliances, morphing into new iterations of old teams. And 
in a departure from traditional strategies of past years, Pteam 
Ptarmigeddon confined their efforts to Suffolk County only, and the 
VizMig Whizzes made the decision to do a Big Sit, barely moving 50 feet 
from the Fire Island Hawkwatch platform! Others traveled far and wide, 
from Brooklyn to the East End.
   
  All Wings Considered (with one replacement member this year) defended 
their 2017 title as champions, coming in with an official total of 121 
species (with one species inadvertently left off the list, they actually 
saw 122).
   
  In second place were the Four Harbors Herons, with 112, and in third 
place, Pteam Ptarmigeddon with an impressive 106 species in Suffolk 
County exclusively.
   
  Pteam Ptarmigeddon led with the most saves, eight in all: Whimbrel, 
Long-billed Dowitcher, Least Tern, Whip-poor-will, Philadelphia Vireo, 
Cliff Swallow, Worm-eating Warbler, and Connecticut Warbler.
   
  Other saves were
  Bird Brainz: Hooded Merganser, Wild Turkey, Clapper Rail, Solitary 
Sandpiper, Baird's Sandpiper, Eastern Phoebe, and Lincoln's Sparrow
   
  Bearded Vultures: American Bittern, Hudsonian Godwit, Western 
Sandpiper, Magnolia Warbler, and Indigo Bunting
   
  VizMig Whizzes: Tricolored Heron, Black Tern, Purple Martin, Prairie 
Warbler, and Rusty Blackbird
   
  Brooklyn Dippers: Pied-billed Grebe, Black-billed Cuckoo, Horned Lark, 
and Baltimore Oriole
   
  Four Harbors Herons: Pectoral Sandpiper, Bay-breasted Warbler, 
Blackpoll Warbler, and Yellow-rumped Warbler
   
  All Wings Considered: Willow Flycatcher and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
   
  Stealthy Ibis: Ovenbird
   
  It was another great Challenge, topped off as always by a lively 
compilation dinner at Scully Mansion. Proceeds from the event will go to 
support environmental and conservation issues, always a worthy cause.
   
  Thanks to Enrico Nardone and the Seatuck team for organizing and 
hosting this increasingly popular and exciting event. For more 
information on this important organization and to view the complete list 
of species  and team results, go to https://www.seatuck.org/
   
  We hope to see everyone back next year, and welcome new teams to join 
us!

Which way do the stripes on the head run? If across the top,(eye to eye) 
it's a woodcock. If front to back, it's a snipe.

Hi Romi,

Unfortunately d-bird does not have the functionality to display uploaded 
photos on the map, only the species name. We use the photos on our end 
for ID verification where possible. It would be a great feature to add 
in the future though. For what its worth, it looks like a woodcock to 
me!

Hi again,

Opening up a controversy on whether the bird I found last week was 
actually a woodcock.  My colleague thought it was a woodcock but showed 
it to his mom over the holiday and she thought it was a snipe.  Her 
husband thought it was a woodcock.  I assumed it was a woodcock because 
of its proximity to Bryant Park.


I know I'm not supposed to attach photos and I don't have a site where I 
post on so I thought maybe people could weigh in using the photo I 
uploaded to d-bird.org <http://d-bird.org>  but unfortunately, I can't 
seem to find the map on d-bird.org <http://d-bird.org>  that shows all 
the pinned birds and photos.  I know I've seen photos of birds I posted 
to the site during last fall's migration and immediately after I posted 
on Monday, the photo did not appear but I figured that it took some 
time.  Now I can't even find the map that shows the locations of the 
birds people have reported and the purported link takes you to research 
findings.


If anyone is able to see the photo eventually, we would love input on 
this Thanksgiving debate.  Apologies for the photo which does not show 
the top of the head where one might be able to distinguish stripes going 
across vs down.


Thanks,
Romi

I found a dead American Woodcock on the east side of 5th Ave. between 
39th and 40th Streets this morning (this is just outside Bryant Park, 
across the street from the main library).


Beak seemed undamaged and legs were pointing straight back.  It was 
positioned close to an 8 story building with big windows.

[nysbirds-l] Morning flight at Robert Moses SP, Suffolk Co.

[Patricia Lindsay]

 Shai Mitra reports there is an ongoing nice flight of early migrants 
at Robert Moses SP, featuring Yellow-shafted Flickers, Eastern Phoebes, 
Golden-crowned Kinglets and Dark-eyed Juncos. He's also had a 
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and a Fox Sparrow among other species.

Fwd: [nysbirds-l] Pacific Loon JBWE Coast Guard

[Patricia Lindsay]

Location is Jones Beach West End Boat Basin, Nassau County, near the USCG 
Station. We were scoping the inlet north of the comfort station. The Pacific 
Loon was feeding actively and traveled a good distance from west to east as we 
watched. When we left it was even with the M10 exit sign on the Meadowbrook 
Parkway, far to the northeast.

[nysbirds-l] White-faced Ibis Heckscher SP, Suffolk Co.

[Patricia Lindsay]

 Shai Mitra just called to report a very brightly marked White-faced 
Ibis in the flooded picnic area of Field 6 at Heckscher Park, East 
Islip, feeding with over 60 Glossy Ibis there.  Earlier today, Patrice 
Domeischel alerted me that there were 108 Glossies there, with what she 
believed was one White-faced but could not re-find it.

[nysbirds-l] White-faced Ibises Heckscher SP Suffolk Co.

[Patricia Lindsay]

Last evening I photographed (poorly, as is my usual wont) a White-faced 
Ibis in non breeding plumage--no white borders around the pink eye and 
facial skin, and legs pink only around the "knees", feeding with 17 
Glossy Ibis in the flooded picnic area of Field 6.  

This morning I checked again; there were at least 30 ibis feeding 
actively in the puddles, and I immediately picked out a White-faced, 
this one showing moderately distinct white borders on the face, and 
brighter pink legs than yesterday's bird. I had to race off to work but 
alerted Shai Mitra to be looking out for a second bird when he arrived 
shortly after. Shai did indeed find what is certainly yesterday's bird 
in addition to the better marked individual.

[nysbirds-l] Timber Point, Suffolk Co. info (Co. Greenshank location)

[Patricia Lindsay]

  Apparently due to the ponding on the golf course from all the rain, 
electric carts were not allowed on the course and this discouraged a lot 
of golfers from coming. There were some walking the course when I left 
at 7:30 but many fewer than expected.

That said, the bird flew off and did not return as of 9:00 (last news I 
have). I would not give up on it though, and any news positive or 
negative would be appreciated as there are folks coming from 5+ hours 
away to try for it.

If you do try for it, please, please, park in the parking lot by the 
clubhouse or at the marsh and not along the roadway, and please, please 
do not walk onto the course. Viewing has been good from the roadway and 
upper lot, and we want to maintain a good rapport with the golfers and 
the cops.

On the marsh at the end of the road there are a variety of shorebirds, 
Glossy Ibis, and a few singing Seaside Sparrows among the usual 
denizens.

[nysbirds-l] Slingshot birds

[Patricia Lindsay]

Shai Mitra and I traveled to RI today for Easter, gnashing teeth, 
tearing hair, and keening (Shai is, contrary to all expectation, one 
eighth Irish and prone to keening) about missing a possible/probable 
slingshot event on our Long Island beaches today, given the favorable 
weather conditions for just such an event.



As it turns out, multiple reports of early trans-gulf migrants from 
coastal Rhode Island today (E. Kingbird, Indigo Bunting, Blue Grosbeak, 
Scarlet Tanager, Summer Tanager, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak) proved our 
predictions to be true, and we're wondering if anyone on coastal LI 
found any evidence of this event, other than my 6 year old great nephew, 
Orion, who called us from his grandfather's house in Shirley to report a 
Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

[nysbirds-l] Sixth Annual Seatuck LI Challenge Results

[Patricia Lindsay]

The 6th Annual Seatuck LI Birding Challenge was conducted on 28 September this 
year, and despite the date being later than in past years, the weather was 
still more like summer than fall. The persistent tendency for the wind to be 
lightly from the northeast and the warm, sunny weather no doubt was responsible 
for smaller numbers and less variety of migrant species than would be expected, 
many of them most likely leftover from the last good flight day. Many folks 
rued the slow pace and low number of species found on this hot day, yet 
enthusiasm was still high all the way to the five o’clock hour when the 
compilation and celebrations began at the lovely Scully mansion.

Competing this year were five senior teams with a total of 21 participants and 
six high school teams with over a dozen (not all names were submitted). Senior 
teams found 155 species, and the high school teams found 41 species; they added 
two not seen by the senior teams, Ring-necked Duck and Least Tern, bringing the 
total to 157 species. Not bad for a day in the doldrums!

The cumulative total for the six years now stands at 235, with four species 
added this year: Lesser Scaup (Bird Brainz and Four Harbors Herons at 
Connetquot River SP), Northern Saw-whet Owl (Pteam Ptarmigeddon, Northport), 
Winter Wren (Outlaws, Southards Pond Park), and White-crowned Sparrow (Four 
Harbors Herons, Jones Beach West End).

The Outlaws took first place with 113 species and 15 “saves” (species not seen 
by any other team). All of the Outlaws have long histories competing in the 
challenge, often together in various combinations, and generally producing very 
competitive totals—but always short of first place. Thus, it was a satisfying 
reward to finally wrest the coveted trophy from the younger whipper-snapper 
teams!

In second place were the Four Harbors Herons, with 107, and in third place, 
Pteam Ptarmigeddon with 100. The Three-legged Ravens! took first prize for the 
high school teams, seeing an impressive 31 of the 41 total species for that 
group. All the senior teams came in with multiple “saves”, making for a nice 
variety of the more unusual species.

Thanks to Enrico Nardone and the Seatuck team for organizing and hosting this 
increasingly popular and exciting event. For more information on this important 
organization, visit the website at:

https://www.seatuck.org/index.php/seatuck-birding-challenge

If you would like a copy of the spreadsheet breaking out the teams, species and 
saves, please email me off the listserv.

We hope to see everyone back next year, and as always, we welcome new teams to 
join us!
