[nysbirds-l] Newburgh (Orange County) Hudson River Gulls

Just a quick update... Over the past month, Iceland Gulls have become a fairly regular event on the Hudson at Newburgh. The only exception to that rule occurred from roughly the 9th or so until last friday(1/16),when to my knowledge none were seen. Prior to that, we had at least 2

[nysbirds-l] Harlequin Ducks and Horned Larks

Two Harlequin Ducks -- a male and a female -- were in close to the most western jetty at Lookout Point at around 3:45 pm today; 2 Horned Larks were in the eastern end of the West End 2 parking lot. Not too shabby for a quick trip to the ocean. Happy Birding, Martin Carney -- NYSbirds-L List

[nysbirds-l] Massapequa Preserve - 1/19

Both Warblers (NASHVILLE and ORANGE-CROWNED) were eventually seen today with some persistence at the preserve. They were spotted just north of the Walker Street entrance. I stood by the abandoned air conditioner in the stream and watched them feed on the cat-tails across from the stream. I

Re:[nysbirds-l] Black-headed Gull, East River, Manhattan

The Black-headed Gull's location was of course west, not east, of Icahn Stadium, on the East River. On Mon, Jan 19, 2015 at 5:37 PM, David Barrett wrote: > At 3:40 pm today I saw a *Black-headed Gull* fishing on the East River, > east of Icahn Stadium at latitude 116th Street. Perhaps this is

[nysbirds-l] Black-headed Gull, East River, Manhattan

At 3:40 pm today I saw a *Black-headed Gull* fishing on the East River, east of Icahn Stadium at latitude 116th Street. Perhaps this is the same gull that has been sighted in recent weeks passing over the 70th Street Pier on the Hudson River just before sundown. David Barrett

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven in Roslyn

I observed what I believe to be the Common Raven that has nested in Roslyn in the past today. The bird was over Cedarmere Preserve. I got good looks, heard the call very well, and got a bad video, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym40dw_hbDo=youtu.be -- Good Birding,

[nysbirds-l] Iceland Gull at Jones Beach

Another interesting adult Iceland Gull was in the Jones Beach West End 2 parking lot during the mid-day today. Characteristics included a rather large, angular head, pale but not yellow eye, and blackish wing tips. To my eye, the overall size appeared a tad larger than the closest Herring Gull. It

[nysbirds-l] Canvasback at Brooklyn Bridge Park

Found a male Canvasback hanging out with small crowd of Gadwall on the rocks at the little beach at Pier 4 ruins in Brooklyn Bridge Park this afternoon. First time I've seen one here. Bright white body, with those fantastic red eyes! Seemed pretty tolerant of holiday scamps & leashed dogs on
