[nysbirds-l] Rockland Lake State Park, Rockland Co. NY, Eurasian Wigeon

[Alan Wells]

Late this morning I got a report from Rockland Audubon Society members
Lindsey Konkel and Scott Neabore that they had seen a presumed drake
Eurasian Wigeon at Rockland Lake State Park the previous morning
(16-Oct-2010). They had seen and photographed the bird in a small pond just
across the road from the north parking lot (41.1499 N -73.9223 W). The
Eurasian Wigeon was in the company of a mixed group of Mallard, Gadwall, and
a few American Wigeon. 

 

Five RAS members, including myself, confirmed the sighting this afternoon
(17-Oct-2010) around 1 PM. At that time the bird was in the same pond as
reported by Lindsey and Scott.  We watched and photographed the bird for
about 10 minutes. As we were leaving it took flight and appeared to be
heading for the NW corner of Rockland Lake (near the fishing station,
41.1434 N  -73.9261 W).

 

A drake Eurasian Wigeon was found in almost exactly the same location on
6-Nov-2007. That bird (or the same bird?) stayed until at least 25-Dec-2007.

 

I'll post photos on the RAS website shortly: www.rocklandaudubon.org

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach West End

[Luke Ormand]

I once again checked out the West End of Jones Beach this morning from about
8-10.  *Brant *were seen along with a flock of Canada Geese between the
bathrooms and the gazebo.  *Merlins* were in good numbers and I spotted one
*Cooper's Hawk*.  A fair number of *Golden-crowned kinglets* were feeding
along the fence bordering the actual coast guard station.  *Northern
flickers *were also prevalent.  *Yellow-rumped warblers *were just about
everywhere, and while I did not see any birds of real interest at the swale,
several hundred (thousand?) tree swallows were feeding, drinking and
resting.  Additionally, a *Peregrine Falcon* was seen flying over Ocean
Parkway.  Images can be seen by visiting this link:

[nysbirds-l] warblers still coming thru my yard

[Andrew Block]

I'm looking at a female common yellowthroat at my birdbath now so I guess some 
warblers are still coming thru my area even though we had our big oak taken 
down 
yesterday.  Unfortunately the male hummer left about 4 days ago, the latest 
I've 
ever had a hummer.

[nysbirds-l] Sunken Meadow SP/ David Weld Sanctuary, Suffolk County- Vesper Sparrow

[Vinny Pellegrino]

A quick walk through Sunken Meadow State Park yesterday morning produced my FoS 
male Purple Finch along with a few females, all of which were munching on 
hawthorn berries.  Sharp-shinned andRed-tailed Hawks and a Merlin were the only 
raptors seen.  A House Wren was also seeking shelter  against the wind in a 
small brush pile in Field 2.

Today, I visited David Weld Sanctuary in the village of Nissequogue and found a 
nice variey of birds including a Winter Wren, 1 Rusty Blackbird(calling in 
swamp), 3-4 flyover Purple Finch, Brown Creepers, Blue-headed Vireos, Northern 
Parula, Blackpoll warblers, and five species of sparrow.  The highlight of my 
hike was a Vesper Sparrow in the company of 2 immature White-crowned, 3 
Swamp, 5 
White-throated, and 3 Song Sparrows.  A Sharp-shinned Hawk was also hunting in 
the vicinity.

[nysbirds-l] Robert Moses State Park Today (Suffolk County)

[ken feustel]

This morning at RMSP Field 2 a diverse group of migrants were moving down the 
barrier beach. Highlights included sixty-five Purple Finch and twenty eight 
Pine Siskin. Decent numbers of American Robin (350), Red-winged Blackbird 
(125), and Yellow-rumped Warbler (750-1000, difficult to estimate) were also 
observed. Notable birds included two Short-eared Owls, flushed from the dunes 
just east of the RMSP golf course and a Clay-colored Sparrow north of the white 
dumpster in the northwest corner of the Field 2 parking lot. Other migrants 
included two Eastern Meadowlarks and two Rusty Blackbirds.

Seen by others this morning: A Lincoln's Sparrow was observed in the same 
location as the Clay-colored Sparrow by Joe Viglietta.

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach West End

[Luke Ormand]

I once again checked out the West End of Jones Beach this morning from about
8-10.  *Brant *were seen along with a flock of Canada Geese between the
bathrooms and the gazebo.  *Merlins* were in good numbers and I spotted one
*Cooper's Hawk*.  A fair number of *Golden-crowned kinglets* were feeding
along the fence bordering the actual coast guard station.  *Northern
flickers *were also prevalent.  *Yellow-rumped warblers *were just about
everywhere, and while I did not see any birds of real interest at the swale,
several hundred (thousand?) tree swallows were feeding, drinking and
resting.  Additionally, a *Peregrine Falcon* was seen flying over Ocean
Parkway.  Images can be seen by visiting this link:

[nysbirds-l] Rockland Lake State Park, Rockland Co. NY, Eurasian Wigeon

[Alan Wells]

Late this morning I got a report from Rockland Audubon Society members
Lindsey Konkel and Scott Neabore that they had seen a presumed drake
Eurasian Wigeon at Rockland Lake State Park the previous morning
(16-Oct-2010). They had seen and photographed the bird in a small pond just
across the road from the north parking lot (41.1499 N -73.9223 W). The
Eurasian Wigeon was in the company of a mixed group of Mallard, Gadwall, and
a few American Wigeon. 

 

Five RAS members, including myself, confirmed the sighting this afternoon
(17-Oct-2010) around 1 PM. At that time the bird was in the same pond as
reported by Lindsey and Scott.  We watched and photographed the bird for
about 10 minutes. As we were leaving it took flight and appeared to be
heading for the NW corner of Rockland Lake (near the fishing station,
41.1434 N  -73.9261 W).

 

A drake Eurasian Wigeon was found in almost exactly the same location on
6-Nov-2007. That bird (or the same bird?) stayed until at least 25-Dec-2007.

 

I'll post photos on the RAS website shortly: www.rocklandaudubon.org

Early last evening, a family member who lives on Winney Hill Road in the
Town of Oneonta, Otsego Co.,  called to report a Snowy Owl had 
landed in his yard. The
bird was flecked with black - a juvenile. 3 others saw this bird. The
bird flew south towards Blend Hill Road when someone stepped outside in
an attempt to photograph it.

This came at the end of a day of strong NW winds.
