Re: [nysbirds-l] Common Shelduck from Jamaica Bay several years ago

I photographed one at a sewage treatment facility on Long Island in the late 70s/early 80s, but back then we all just assumed these birds were escapes. Of course, back then, they probably were. Mike Cooper Ridge, LI, NY Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 31, 2022, at 4:19 PM, Kevin J. McGowan

Re: [nysbirds-l] (Over)Certainty in eBird reports (Brooklyn Painted Bunting info)

Hi Doug, Thanks for starting this interesting discussion. I looked into Painted Bunting molts earlier this winter when I started looking at the spate of e-bird reports of vagrants from around Maryland and north. I found at least 15 or so records for this fall and early winter, many of them

Re: [nysbirds-l] Common Greenshank Info

Just to add to Shai’s post regarding the directions to the Greenshank, please do not, for any reason, walk out into the golf course. If the bird is present, birding from the edge of the roadway provides excellent visibility and will keep disturbance of the bird and of the golfers and park
