Re: [nysbirds-l] A little corn crake help

2013-05-21 Thread Larry Federman
I thoroughly enjoyed the original post, trying to decipher the British 
colloquialisms! Apparently Mackie is looking for a rail, our equivalent to a 
corn crake however, the corn crake prefers grassland habitats, while our 
North American rails are found in marshes.
Mackie, I suggest doing a query on eBird to find where rails have been seen 
around Riverhead. Feel free to message me privately if you want more info.

Best,

Corn Crake? Seriously? Look again and check for a similar species found here.

The corn crakes sure do stick to the water’s edge I must say; much differently 
than my observations from back home.  As a young lad we would chase them off 
our trolleys until they flushed.  I also saw my first heron at the state park!  
My new birds of recent in the skirts of Riverhead have been:
Yellow warbler (Brilliant red streaks about the chest in a wooded area behind 
Spicy’s Barbeque) 
Grey Catbird (what a blast this one’s vocalization is)
Herring gull (many of them eating in a parking lot at Wal-Mart)
Common yellow throat (in some thickets around East End Arts)
And a few others I can’t remember, but I will re-post when I do.  I’m taking a

[nysbirds-l] Connecticut Warbler - Wilson

2013-05-21 Thread Willie D'Anna and Betsy Potter
I stepped outside the house at 6:00 this morning and almost immediately
heard a CONNECTICUT WARBLER singing!  With a great amount of effort, we were
eventually able to get brief poor looks at the bird - about three hours
later!  The bird hid itself on the ground among all the vegetation and was
nearly impossible to see.  The one time I saw it, I was looking through a
tiny opening in the vegetation and I could only see the side of its head and
its bill moving as it sang.  Betsy got only a slightly better look.  This is
the third one of this species in our yard in the nine years that we have
lived here, all singing birds in the spring.

 

We ended with 18 species of warblers in the yard today, four LEAST
FLYCATCHERS, one WILLOW FLYCATCHER, two WOOD-PEWEES, one EASTERN KINGBIRD,
one PHILADELPHIA VIREO, two BLUE-HEADED VIREOS, one WARBLING VIREO, one
VEERY, two SWAINSON'S THRUSH, two LINCOLN'S SPARROWS, one WHITE-CROWNED
SPARROW, one INDIGO BUNTING, and one RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET.

 

At Wilson-Tuscarora S.P. I had two MOURNINGS among 15 species of warblers.

 

Good birding!

Willie

Re: [nysbirds-l] pics/vid of amazing fallout in Texas

2013-05-21 Thread Robert Lewis
All,

  The unanimous consensus from several observers is that the warbler is indeed 
a Swainson's.  I'm sure I've never seen a video of one before; perhaps others 
have.

  BTW at 6:00 minutes into the video is a nice clip of a warbler we see more 
often in the greater NY City area, but seldom do we look down upon it.  I know 
I never have.

That's a great series of photos and videos, thanks!

At almost exactly the five minute point on the first video, there is a warbler 
hopping in the leaf litter.  Is that a Swainson's Warbler?  Otherwise I'm 
stumped as to its identity.  Maybe someday I'll see one at Forest Park.  ;-)

There are two videos, be sure to click on HD for the scond one (and make it

Hello all,  
Fancy I give this a try being new to this region.  Haven’t got a go at the 
surroundings until I settled for a bit, but I am chuffed as nuts with 
Riverhead.  We have the starlings too!  I thought for a while I’d be here for a 
donkeys years without those buggers.  They really bring a smile to my face and 
since that it feels natural I thought I would carry on my novice hobby here in 
the States.  I have the Stokes guide now, and these photos are top drawer!  So 
intrigued to find all of these beautiful birds; I swear I’ve read it twice.  
The corn crakes sure do stick to the water’s edge I must say; much differently 
than my observations from back home.  As a young lad we would chase them off 
our trolleys until they flushed.  I also saw my first heron at the state park!  
My new birds of recent in the skirts of Riverhead have been:
Yellow warbler (Brilliant red streaks about the chest in a wooded area behind 
Spicy’s Barbeque) 
Grey Catbird (what a blast this one’s vocalization is)
Herring gull (many of them eating in a parking lot at Wal-Mart)
Common yellow throat (in some thickets around East End Arts)
And a few others I can’t remember, but I will re-post when I do.  I’m taking a 
mickey with every new discovery.  I mastered the birds from back home and it 
just got boring, but to see them here warms my cockles.  Back home is about the

Summer for me.  Is Long Island great for corn crake breeding?  Having only seen 
one mixing about for just a bit I’d like to spend the holiday weekend corn 
crake watching.  If I could get a peek at them with their young I’d be about on
