[nysbirds-l] Common Nighthawks & Baird's Sandpiper at Heckscher State Park (Suffolk Co.)

2011-08-24 Thread ken feustel
We visited HSP this evening in hopes of seeing migrating nighthawks. As we 
drove the oval we briefly stopped in Field 7, which still has standing water 
from the latest rainfall. The only shorebird present was a Baird's Sandpiper 
that was frightened away by someone operating a remote-controlled model car 
that ran through the puddle where the Baird's was standing! This is the second 
Baird's that we have seen in a parking lot puddle in the last week - perhaps a 
previously unidentified habitat sometimes used by this species on migration. 
Also seen from Field 7 were two Royal Terns flying west along the shore of 
Great South Bay. We were having no luck with nighthawks until we had almost 
left the park when six Common Nighthawks were observed heading south high over 
the roadway. This was close to 8:00PM.

Dannie Heider and David Ross lost their Yellow Amazon Parrott right after the 
earthquake yesterday.  Despite the name - this is a green parrott.  The bird 
was new to their home as of Monday.  He flew out of the house and they haven't 
seen him since.  They are frantic with worry.  They live in South Glens Falls.  
If anyone has any suggestions or if they see this bird please call

Dannie 538-6241
David - 926-0655.

Not a joke, being paranoid, or banter!

Thanks for reading.

[nysbirds-l] 8/24 Jones Beach Gull-billed & Black Terns...

2011-08-24 Thread Andrew Baksh
For those who might be interested, *5* *Gull-billed Terns* (two adults
feeding three juveniles) were still present this morning on the sandbar at
the West End 2 boat basin near the Coast Guard Station.  In addition, *3
possibly 4 Black Terns* were observed feeding in Jones Inlet.

One bird not mentioned in Ken Feustel's Jones Beach report yesterday
was a *Marbled
Godwit* seen by a few of us, on one of the bars north of the Coast Guard
Station.  I did not see this bird today, but the tide was low during my
visit, so it could be anywhere nearby if it did not leave.

Also of note from yesterday at the Coast Guard Station were *2 juvenile
Semipalmated Sandpipers*, *2 juvenile Least Sandpipers* and *1 juvenile
Sanderling*.  Be prepared for mosquitoes if visiting either the Coast Guard
Station or the swale.  Today, the mosquitoes near the swale was so bad a few
beachgoers ran for cover abandoning the beach after encountering hordes of
mosquitoes.

Missing the shorebirds already!

Joe called at 2:05pm 8/24 with a report of a black-bellied whistling duck  
at the Swamp Road site in Randolph, NY.  He walked out to the osprey nest  
tower area and viewed the duck through his scope off to the north.  He  saw 
it fly up a couple of times stating it that it stood out like a sore thumb  
and the white on the wings was very evident.  He will provide full post  
later.
 
To get to Swamp Road:  394W out of Randolph, turn right onto  Swamp Road, 
you'll pass some fields, cross a small creek and you  will see the osprey 
nest on your left.  Small parking area at this  location. Google Swamp Road,
