[nysbirds-l] Ross's Gull update

[Joan Collins]

1/28/17 Tupper Lake (Franklin Co.)

 

I wanted to post a huge thank-you to the woman who found the Ross's Gull
today - Bernice Gawron of Stephentown, NY!  Bernice was looking across
Tupper Lake (from Route 30) at ice fishermen (a long distance away) when she
spotted the gull flying from their direction!  She was with Jesse Jaycox and
pointed at the gull.  I was leading a field trip and we happened to be
driving by just as Bernice was pointing.  Jodi Brodsky noticed her pointing
and we stopped!  I called Bob Washburn who was at Jack Delehanty's house to
let everyone know.  Thanks to Bernice's sharp eyes, the gull was found
midday and everyone was able to view it.  Without spotting it flying, it
would have been difficult to find.  The gull was at the edge of the ice out
a great distance and blending into its background.  It stayed in one spot
most of the time, but did go into the open water to bathe for a bit before
getting back out on the edge of the ice.  I did not observe the gull eat
anything during the time we observed it.  There is an open water channel
between the boat launch and the bridge between Simon Pond and Tupper Lake.
We were all viewing the gull just a bit northeast of the boat launch and I
could see Raquette River Outfitters from where we were standing.  The gull's
location on the ice edge was ~ 2.5 miles from where it had been viewed at
Jack Delehanty's home.  Two Bald Eagles were also on the ice.

 

When we stopped at Jack Delehanty's house earlier, we spotted license plates
from Georgia, Maryland, and Indiana (& every bordering state of NY)!  It was
terrific that Bernice found the Ross's Gull today when people had traveled
so far.

 

The sudden influx of cars on Route 30 caused 2 state police cars to stop
with lights flashing!  I spent a long time talking with one officer and he
understood the importance of the gull to birders there - and he told
everyone it was ok as long as they were parked over the white line at the
edge of the road.

 

A few other species: We also observed the Northern Shrike that has a winter
territory across from the old OWD factory in Tupper Lake - and many visitors
also saw it.  I received a few reports of Evening Grosbeaks in Newcomb, and
Bohemian Waxwings in both Newcomb and Minerva locations today.  There were
at least 6 Gray Jays at Sabattis Bog (& 5 more at other Long Lake
locations).

[nysbirds-l] Black-headed Gull, Brooklyn Waterfront

[Gail Benson]

At noon we saw an adult  Black-headed Gull visible from Owls Head park over
the water treatment facility.  Later the bird was sitting on a railing at
Veteran's Memorial Pier. It then flew back to the water treatment plant.
A young Iceland Gull is still at Bush Terminal Park sitting out on the
rocks.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park - Lincoln Sparrow

[Alan Drogin]

I did some more birding on Friday with co-worker and bird photographer Bill 
Reynolds.  We could not find the Lincoln Sparrow again however we got some 
pictures of a Swamp Sparrow hiding near the garden shed in the southeast 
corner.  Also had at least another 4 Grey Catbirds.

[nysbirds-l] Ross's Gull - Tupper Lake, NY

[Willie D'Anna]

After not showing at the usual spot on Lake Simond Road this morning, the
first-winter Ross's Gull was relocated at the Tupper Lake boat launch. Here
is Larry Master's post:

 


Subject: Re: NNYBirds: Latest eBird info from Ross's Gull area
Date: Sat Jan 28 2017 11:38 am
From: Northern_NY_Birds AT yahoogroups.com


 


The bird was found again late this morning  - at the boat launch in Tupper
Lake.  It may move around and the edge of open water areas are likely the
best places to look based on past records south of the Arctic.  But it also
may go back to the house where fish parts have been put out on the ice for
the bird's nourishment.

Good birding!

Any updates positive or negative would be greatly appreciated. There are people 
that are in route and people that are waiting to go. Unfortunately I'm stuck

I was just sent a correction. The building north of City Hall at the City

[nysbirds-l] City Hall Park, Manhattan: Ovenbird, Fri. 27-Jan-2017

[Ben Cacace]

The Ovenbird continues at City Hall Park on the east edge of the Tammany
Hall and City Hall buildings south of the fence where the Ovenbird was
present when the Western Tanager was there last year. The Ovenbird has been
there from at least Thursday.

http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S33960658

Based on the images taken in December of the Ovenbird it's possible this is
the same bird. The widening of the median crown stripe in the center of its
length and the irregularity on its left lateral crown stripe are similar.

BEGIN TAPE

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, January 27th
2017 at 8pm. The highlights of today's tape are MEW GULL, TOWNSEND'S
SOLITAIRE, PAINTED BUNTING, SANDHILL CRANE, a mostly New Jersey GYRFALCON
and of course the Adirondacks ROSS'S GULL and much more.

Today a MEW GULL, perhaps the bird noted in Brooklyn on December 12th, was
seen at the Brooklyn Army Terminal Pier 4 at the end of 58th Street on the
Hudson River and the TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE on Long Island's north fork was
still being enjoyed at least to Wednesday though it has made extended moves
recently. Eventually so far it has returned fairly regularly to the
vicinity of the blue house number 1625 North Sea Drive where it does feed
in the feeders around there. The female plumaged PAINTED BUNTING also
continues at its seaside location in Annadale on Staten Island but it's
been staying in the denser vegetation along the beach at the end of Arden
Avenue. Look especially near the feeder at the western end of the lawn area
adjacent to the dead end Ocean Driveway. Unlike the two of those species
the SANDHILL CRANE on eastern Long Island was last seen last Saturday not
on Wainscot Pond but in a field on Wainscot Hollow Road and has eluded
birders since.

Of note is a gray GYRFALCON seen since last Saturday generally across the
Hudson River at the State Line Lookout in Alpine New Jersey but it may've
ventured over to New York today and then there's the immature ROSS'S GULL
visiting the Tupper Lake area in the Adirondacks recently first noted
Wednesday and still there today.

For the rarer geese the PINK-FOOTED was still visiting Hendrickson Park in
Valley Stream at least to Wednesday and the BARNACLE has recently been most
reliably found at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale with a few ROSS'S
GOOSE reports featuring one at St. Charles Saturday and at the nearby
private golf course Sunday, one at Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx last
Saturday and one in the Cutchogue area on eastern Long Island along Oregon
Road Tuesday and off Alva's Lane Wednesday. Some CACKLING GEESE include 5
identified on Sagg Pond in Bridgehampton Sunday. A drake BARROW'S GOLDENEYE
was just west of the Sands Point Preserve last Saturday but not Sunday and
a female has appeared again on Staten Island on the pond at Moravian
Cemetery in New Dorp first noted Wednesday. An immature male KING EIDER was
reported Saturday off Centre Island east of Bayville and 2 KINGS were
present off Montauk Point last Saturday these an adult and immature male, 2
females were also in Fire Island Inlet this week. Also at Montauk a DOVEKIE
was reported off the town of Montauk Thursday and good numbers of
RAZORBILLS have been off the point where 4 BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKES were
seen Tuesday. Two TUNDRA SWANS were still on Lake Ronkonkoma Monday and 6
were noted moving northwest over Brooklyn Wednesday morning. A TRUMPETER
SWAN of unknown origin continues in the vicinity of Nyack Beach State Park
in Rockland County. A EURASIAN WIGEON was in Setauket Harbor Tuesday with
the Eurasian form of GREEN-WINGED TEAL on the Setauket Mill Pond Saturday.
Other EURASIAN WIGEON include a drake continuing in Eastport at Pepperidge
Lake or the Mill Pond and another on Fresh Pond in Fort Salonga Wednesday
with the Marine Park Salt Marsh Nature Center bird also seen today.

The adult BLACK-HEADED GULL was still at Cammann's Pond in Merrick last
Saturday, another appeared at Southards' Pond Park in Babylon Sunday and a
third adult visited the Brooklyn Army Terminal Pier 4
