The 2013 season at the Franklin Mt. Hawkwatch came to a quiet end today,
with no raptors recorded on light to moderate westerly winds. This marked
the 25th consecutive year of counting at the site.
The season began on August 20, and in between, 674 hours of coverage were
put in on 111 days by
I stopped at Sea Cliff about 1PM today to check for the previously reported
Black Guillemot at the intersection of Cliffway and the Blvd. I did not see the
Guillemot but instead a large grebe caught my eye. In my bins in back light I
was thinking it was a Red-necked Grebe. When I got my scope on
Had a good start to a New Year of birding with several nice sightings in
Brooklyn.
At Coney Island a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL and first year GLAUCOUS GULL
continue on the Coney Island Creek side of the peninsula. In addition, there
was a RED-NECKED GREBE feeding in the rip off of Norton Point.
Late this morning I went to Jones Beach WE2. Found the Northern Shrike on
a tree directly south of the parking lot (just west of the large swath of
un-vegetated beach) without even trying. After I took one photo it was gone.
A few large flocks of Snowy Bunting were moving about the beach - and a

Happy New Year everyone,
A female King Eider was far offshore from Stehli Beach (the westernmost beach
on the Bayville strip). I was standing just beyond the little pavillion about
halfway down the parking lot and looking due north. It was associating with a
long line of White-winged Scoter (an
Realizing that my year list was back at zero, I figured some birding could
remedy that situation fairly quickly!

Drake King Eider patrolling along Fort Tilden shore today. It was moving
eastwards with a small flock of mergansers, heading towards Riis, when we saw
it around noon.
I think the large group of Audubon/Linnaean/Littoral New Year's Day walkers
must have seen it as well.
Happy New Year!

I saw 1 SNOWY OWL & a light phased ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK at the Syracuse Airport
around 10:00 this morning. Both birds were in the north section of the
airport, seen from near the State Police barracks. The Snowy was a heavily
barred individual and was sitting on the ground, while the Roughie was
Gyr showing well. Currently perched on small dead snag out in marsh directly N
of entrance to marina. Had caught and eaten a duck.

A Gyrfalcon continues at Cedar Beach LI. The bird was teed up in a
Cedar tree out in the marsh and was pointed out by a couple of PA
birders.
Observed with Doug Futuyma and Bob Pronoviewych.

Today, I observed the immature Red-headed Woodpecker that has taken up
residence in my yard and my neighbor’s yard since November 22nd.
Since I first saw it on the 22nd, it spends all its time caching food in the
various large oak trees on the properties. It never comes to any of the suet
feeder
Requires some patience as the bird would disappear for periods. Other
notable birds in the area include, about 300 Snow Buntings.
Observed well with Ken and Sue Fuestel.
