[nysbirds-l] Cave Swallow, Captree SP this morning

This morning, I had a lone Cave Swallow at Captree SP (Suffolk) around 10:30AM. It did not linger as it flew generally westward. Maybe this bird flew on to nearby Venetian Shores? I had gone down to the south shore in hopes of seeing more than one Franklin’s Gull in the same day. Instead, I saw

[nysbirds-l] Franklin's Gull Tiana Beach

Started at Robert Moses for a chance at finding a Franklin's Gull but no luck. After birding the area I decided to make a run to Dune Road. Using my van as wind break at Tiana Beach I located my bird, a lifer for me. Smaller and mantle lighter than what I was expecting. Adult bird with

[nysbirds-l] More Cave Swallows (Jamaica Bay & Fort Tilden)

I led a Linnaean Society trip to Jamaica Bay today. It was a gorgeous, though breezy day. Easily the highlight were two Cave Swallows flying around the Broad Channel subway station in mid-day. The group was finishing lunch at the refuge when one person who had headed down to the subway to go home

[nysbirds-l] Kings County Cave Swallow note

I was able to see and photograph the small group of Cave Swallows in Coney Island this afternoon between 4 and 4:30. It's worth mentioning the birds were thoroughly investigating underneath the decking of the senior center bordering the Coney Island boardwalk between 24th and 23rd streets. Just

[nysbirds-l] Breezy Point Queens Cave Swallows

I made a trip to Breezy around noon in search of Cave Swallows and perhaps a Franklin Gull (where did they go?). There was one obvious Cave Swallow just a short way up the 4WD road from the parking lot that gave brief but good looks. Then, closer to the beach, there was a sizable flock (20-30)

[nysbirds-l] South Shore Saturday

Jones Beach was blustery but pleasant. I had a Cackling Goose fly over with a Canada just before 9, headed north toward the mainland. Striking size difference between the "two Canadas" caught my attention when I was driving in past the Police Station. Goldfinches were moving, and Dunlin were

[nysbirds-l] Coney Island Cave Swallows

After Dennis Hrehowsik's initial report this morning there continued to be a nice trickle of Cave Swallows at Coney Island throughout the day. The birds were moving from east to west. At one point Keir Randall, Josh Malbin and I watched a flock of 9 near W. 24th St. and the boardwalk. There

So now I'm going to say that it is not necessary to wait for the previous "schedule" of visits. I will be there at 10 O'clock today (not sure about 2 o'clock). But you don't have to wait for me to go in. Same thing tomorrow. Not too early, please, and be mindful. Fingers crossed. Rich --

I spoke with the homeowner this morning and all is forgiven (that's their nature). So birders are again welcome to come and visit the yard to watch for the Harris's Sparrow (and Bohemian Waxwing?). Today and tomorrow (Sunday) are now OK. Please - do not park in the driveway (apparently that's
