[nysbirds-l] Say NO

2011-11-20 Thread Richard Guthrie
The previously reported Coxsackie Grasslands Say's Phoebe was not refound
yesterday nor this morning.

 

There's plenty of happy habitat for phoebes in the area, so the bird could
be anywhere - including South Jersey - by now.

 

If the scene changes, I'll post accordingly.

 

I'll post an embarrassingly bad photo of the bird on HMBirds yahoo site -
when I get a chance.

[nysbirds-l] Smith Point C.P. - Suffolk

2011-11-20 Thread Derek Rogers

A fairly slow day today at Smith Point with the exception of hundreds of 
northern gannets plunge diving in close proximity to the shore. Red-throated 
loons were also of note. The 15 ruddy ducks were in their usual location near 
the new fishing pier.

On the terrestrial side, we found 1 VESPER SPARROW perched on the fence near 
the handball courts. I managed to get great digiscope photos of the bird. Other 
notables include:

snow bunting
peregrine falcon
savannah sparrow

Date:11-20-11
Place: Amagansett, NY
 
The Red-necked Grebe found yesterday by Karen Rubenstein continues at the  
end of Albert's Landing Road. The bird was close in mixing with Common Loons 
and  Scoters. Best views were to the right of the weir.
Good Birding,

Re:[nysbirds-l] WEKI @ Breezy Point Queens... (Re-found)

2011-11-20 Thread Andrew Baksh
Tom Burke and Gail Benson just re-found the Western Kingbird along the fence 
line heading  towards the Silver Gull Club at Breezy Point.  The bird was last 
seen flying into the field/parking lot of the club.  The good news, is that 
it's still here.  Good luck if you go.
Good and responsible birding!

Just had a Western Kingbird right at the entrance to the 4 wheel drive trail 
near the fisherman's parking lot at Breezy Point.  Unfortunately, the bird took 
off heading South East and seemed to be dropping near the houses.  Hopefully it 
could be relocated.

[nysbirds-l] Bronx Birding - Greater White-fronted Goose, Orange Crowned Warbler, Scarlet Tanager +

2011-11-20 Thread Andrew Baksh
Yesterday, our group from my Saturday bird walk, again had the
continuing *GREATER
WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE* on the parade grounds at Van Courtlandt Park.  Some of
us first had the bird at around 7:50 a.m. and then we all saw it around
8:00 - 8:30.  Later on, around 10:30 a.m. we tried to get some late comers
on the bird, but by then it had left the parade grounds.

Following the walk, I continued birding the Bronx and had some good
results.  At Pelham Bay, I found an *ORANGE CROWNED WARBLER*, then had
quite the surprise when I found 3 *BALTIMORE ORIOLES* and 1 female *SCARLET
TANAGER* feeding on Porcelain Berries.  Later on at Orchard Beach, the
highlight was a *RED-NECKED GREBE* thanks to a tip from some regular
birders in the area.


Good Birding!
