Re: [nysbirds-l] Alcids in NJ & NY from Belmar, NJ Mackerel Fishing Boat
Paul and all- Did a little sleuthing using Google satellite. In the third picture you can see the JFK control tower behind one of the buildings. Looks like you were somewhere south of Atlantic Beach. If you put in the address: 1742 Seagirt Blvd New York New York 11691 and tap the street view you can see the 2 buildings on the right side of that third picture. This is some not very far west of Freeport, where we will departing for the in-shore pelagic next Saturday.

[nysbirds-l] Alcids in NJ & NY from Belmar, NJ Mackerel Fishing Boat
Today I boarded a Mackerel fishing trip out of Belmar with my brother Steve and birder Marty Dellwo. We first moved north and fished in NJ pelagic waters out to about a dozen miles. Fishing was OK, but the Capt. decided to move towards a pack of fish off NY, and we worked an area a mere 4-6 miles off the beach. Maybe somebody can identify where we were from the photos I posted on the Paulagics Birding Facebook page? The link to the gallery is: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.140871612695560.28753.13181671988=1=f7080e96d0 One of the big highlights were 10 DOVEKIES within a dozen or so miles of shore. The water out there is still warm (well, by Jan. standards for the area) and so Dovekies don't seem to be completely pushed farther offshore. 7 COMMON MURRES were not at all unexpected. Here are the results for the species I tabulated: Common Loon - 15+ Northern Gannet - 100+ Great Blue Heron - 1 (about a dozen miles offshore) Black-legged Kittiwake - 8 (5 NJ, 3 NY) Dovekie - 10 (4 NJ, 6 NY) Common Murre - 7 (3 NJ, 4 NY) murre sp - 4 Razorbill - 34 (22 NJ, 12 NY) Be sure to check out the photo gallery for this trip. Photo opportunities aren't the best from a fishing boat, but there's some identifiable stuff. We are running trips to these same waters next weekend from Freeport, NY on Sat. and from Belmar, NJ on Sun. Hope to see some of you aboard. -PAG -- *Paul A.

[nysbirds-l] Sedge Wren and Barnacle Goose Continue
I arrived at Orient Point State Park around 11:45 this morning. It was not until 12:30 that I finally located the Sedge Wren in the north-south phrag./brush line that divides the marsh on the north side of the state park access road. The wren was extremely furtive, calling infrequently and giving brief views during our visit. It worked back and forth on each side of this phragmite line. In addition, around 5:15 this evening, the Barnacle Goose was discernible at the north end of Eastport Pond in the fading light.

[nysbirds-l] Want to get lucky, buy your wife lunch!
After church today, my wife RuthAnn agreed to accompany me down to Eastport, Suffolk Co., for a "quick" try at the Barnacle Goose. Upon arrival, I found Diana Teta, and 2 of her friends (unknown to me), looking at the BRNG, just as it swam into the 2nd cove on the w/s of Eastport Pond, and out of sight. I waited for about 45 minutes without success, before suggesting to RA about getting something to eat & drink locally, and then returning for an even quicker "quick" try. She agreed (she had a book along ) and we proceeded to have a hearty & tasty lunch at the diner in C.Morichies, located on the s/s of Main St., in the middle of town. Returning to Eastport, we found Pat Lindsay & Shai Mitra on the scene, making for the 2nd time in 10 days, that I have had the good fortune of, literally, finding birders with their feet on the ground and the bird in their eye-peices!

[nysbirds-l] Floyd Bennett Field shrike follow-up
At around 3:15pm Heydi Lopes and I returned to the runway that divides fields "G" and "C" hoping to get another look at the Northern Shrike. We had walked down the runway to the tree line when I spotted the bird perched on top of a small tree close to the edge of the pavement. For the next 30 minutes or so we followed the shrike as it hunted from low perches at both sides of the runway. I have the area labeled on a Google Map at this link: http://tinyurl.com/86uq7bc One other sighting of possible interest at Floyd Bennett was of a Red-necked Grebe in the bay fairly close to shore between the end of Archery Road and the Gil Hodges Bridge.

[nysbirds-l] Orange-crowned Warblers, n. Manhattan; White-fronted Goose, Bronx
Ann Shaw and I decided to chase some of the local (for us very local) lingering good birds in northern NYC. At Sherman's Creek/Swindler's Cove at the east end of Dyckman St. we found the two Orange-crowned Warblers, plus a very cooperative Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. (We didn't chase the Dickcissel in Inwood Hill Park at the west end of Dyckman since we have already seen it a few times, but we did hear from a birder we met at Sherman Creek that it was seen today.) Then we went up to Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx to look for the White-fronted Goose. We couldn't find it on the lake by the golf course and many of the Canada Geese there were flying out in the direction of the ball fields, so we drove up Broadway on the west side of Van Cortlandt Park. Just below W 251st Street we found about a thousand or so Canada Geese on the fields and quickly spotted the White-fronted on the near side of the flock.

[nysbirds-l] Snowy Owl & Mountain Bluebird
As of about 11:30 a.m. the Snowy Owl was sitting on the sand next to a log on the soutern side of Warner Island, the larger sandy island east of the Ponquogue Bridge. The best vantage point is at the end of Road I which is between the bridge and the inlet. Wonderful to run into Dianne Taggart and Amy Halstead while looking at the owl! Also noteworthy was a flock of about 110 Common Eiders in the bay near the inlet. As others have also reported, around 1:30 p.m. I saw the Mountain Bluebird foraging from the snow fence e/o the intersection of Hulse Landing Road and Route 25A.

[nysbirds-l] Mountain Bluebird, Iceland Gull - Yes, Sedge Wren - NO
This morning Bobby Rosetti and I saw the adult Kumlien's Iceland gull sitting at the end of the pier in Northville at the end of Pier Road. This bird has dark wingtips and could be passed over, although it's more obvious in flight. We spent about 30-45 minutes at the marsh at Orient Point mentioned by Bob Adamo, but did not see any wrens, or any birds other than 1 or 2 Song Sparrows and a Tree Sparrow. There are extensive marshes west of this, so if the bird(s) moved west it would be very difficult to find them. I didn't check exactly but I think we looked somewhere between 9:30 and 10 AM. With the assistance of Derek and Chris Rogers we found the Mountain Bluebird on 25A, moving actively along the snow fence east of Hulse landing Road. No other bluebirds or warblers were seen, just a few Savannah Sparrows. Along the south edge of the Calverton grasslands was a small flock of Eastern Bluebirds. When we arrived at the Waverly(?) school along the LIE service road just east of exit 62 the fields were birdless - the geese had flown. En route to Orient we scanned the Goldeneye by the causeway east of East Marion but saw only Common. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn mini pelagic 1-7-12
Spurred on by the unseasonable weather, a small group of us took a 'mini pelagic' on Saturday 1-7, in Brooklyn to examine the waters about Jamaica Bay, Breezy point and etc. The highlights were large numbers of Oldsquaw, close in observation of Gannets plunge diving, and a very confiding Razorbill that gave all aboard great looks.

The Mountain Bluebird was still present at 2PM today, easily viewed on the
nearest fence on the north side of Rt 25A, just to the east of Hulse Landing
Road. Thanks to a fellow from Brooklyn for pointing it out!
Inside the old Grumman facility were 2-3 American Kestrels, 2 Red-tailed
Hawks, 1 Northern Harrier, 4-5 Eastern Bluebirds, and a single Yellow-Rumped
Warbler.
Also of note there, was a male Ring-necked Pheasant, crossing the road not
10 feet in front of my car. It appeared stupefied, almost as if someone had
just thrown it out of their window moments before and it couldn't figure out
where to go now.

[nysbirds-l] NYC: Udall's Cove Park, Sat. 7-Jan incl. Peregrine, C. Merganser
Date: Saturday, 7 January 2012 (9:10a-3:20p) Location: Queens - Udall's Cove Park and Preserve Reported by: Ben Cacace Last week I decided to bird a place new to me. I found a "small" park on the north shore of Queens along Gabler's Creek at the head of Udall's Cove in Little Neck that fit the bill. A key requisite is that it is close to public transportation and both the Little Neck LIRR station and bus service from the #7 line at Flushing-Main St bring you right to the park. Doing research online I found a writeup on how to explore the park called "Exploring Udalls Cove Park & Preserve" < http://bit.ly/y4UoiY > by the current president of the Udall's Cove Preservation Committee (UCPC) Walter Mugdan. It is an extraordinarily useful description to exploring this park. Without it wouldn't have known that the park extends down to Northern Boulevard. At the head of the cove I ran into a person laying down wood chips on a newly created path which turned out to be Walter. It was great to get a first hand account of all the work he and over a hundred volunteers are doing to restore this park back a natural and accessible state. Last week I created a Google map for the park to help me picture where I should bird. Here's the result which is a work in progress < http://g.co/maps/utdtz >. I started out with Walter's "The Ravine, Part I" & entered the park on Northern Boulevard east of the Mobil Station on 244th St. I decided to follow the short path down to the bottom of the ravine to follow Gabler's Creek as far as possible. On the way I came across a berm of land where I birded the east side of it on top of a another pile of earth and cinder blocks. This happened to be the most productive portion of the creek. There doesn't appear to be a connection from where the creek goes below ground to the northern portion of the park where the LIRR cuts through it so I backtracked to Northern Boulevard and headed to Aurora Pond. On the map I show another entrance on the east side of the Aurora Pond trails that leads to Douglas Road which is a great way to move between the Little Neck & Douglaston sides of the cove which I needed later on when I saw a rufous headed duck that I couldn't ID on the west side of the cove. It turned out to be a male GREEN-WINGED TEAL along with 2 females. After this I headed to the north end of Little Neck Road and entered the park with trails at 34th Ave. After this I ran into Walter and after our conversation I ended the Little Neck side with his "Virginia Point, Part III" which includes walking on the sewer pipe through the saltmarsh. My fear of heights made the initial portion difficult but after a half hour I convinced myself to do it. The drop looks like 12 feet into a few feet of water for the first 20 yards. My favorite sightings were were the COMMON MERGANSER at the head of the cove and the close views of the PEREGRINE FALCON walking on the mudflats as seen from the Douglaston side at the park overlook off Knollwood Ave. It was occasionally dipping its beak in the water as if drinking and walking in and around the wetter portions of the flats. The AMERICAN BLACK DUCKS, MALLARDS & gulls were not disturbed by this. It was an adult and appeared to be female. I watched this from 2:45p until I left at 3:20p when the falcon flew to a log on the flats. After leaving I walked along Shore Road to view Little Neck Bay and saw the continuing raft of ducks (probable scaup) marked on the map. There were several thousand birds in at least 3 different rafts. ** Total species - 32 ** Weather for 7-Jan for New York, NY (8:51a-3:51p) < http://bit.ly/ACXiHe >: - Conditions: Scattered Clouds to Partly Cloudy - Temperature: 48.9 to 61.0 F (Windchill not applicable) - Wind direction: SW - WSW - Wind speed: 8 - 16 mph (gusts to 24 mph) Abundance categories from 'The New York City Audubon Society Guide to Finding Birds in the Metropolitan Area' published 2001.

[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn mini pelagic 1-7-12
Spurred on by the unseasonable weather, a small group of us took a 'mini pelagic' on Saturday 1-7, in Brooklyn to examine the waters about Jamaica Bay, Breezy point and etc. The highlights were large numbers of Oldsquaw, close in observation of Gannets plunge diving, and a very confiding Razorbill that gave all aboard great looks. More such trips are planned in the near future, weather permitting. If you are interested in participating contact me.

[nysbirds-l] Mountain Bluebird, Iceland Gull - Yes, Sedge Wren - NO
This morning Bobby Rosetti and I saw the adult Kumlien's Iceland gull sitting at the end of the pier in Northville at the end of Pier Road. This bird has dark wingtips and could be passed over, although it's more obvious in flight. We spent about 30-45 minutes at the marsh at Orient Point mentioned by Bob Adamo, but did not see any wrens, or any birds other than 1 or 2 Song Sparrows and a Tree Sparrow. There are extensive marshes west of this, so if the bird(s) moved west it would be very difficult to find them. I didn't check exactly but I think we looked somewhere between 9:30 and 10 AM. With the assistance of Derek and Chris Rogers we found the Mountain Bluebird on 25A, moving actively along the snow fence east of Hulse landing Road. No other bluebirds or warblers were seen, just a few Savannah Sparrows. Along the south edge of the Calverton grasslands was a small flock of Eastern Bluebirds. When we arrived at the Waverly(?) school along the LIE service road just east of exit 62 the fields were birdless - the geese had flown. En route to Orient we scanned the Goldeneye by the causeway east of East Marion but saw only Common. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] Snowy Owl Mountain Bluebird
As of about 11:30 a.m. the Snowy Owl was sitting on the sand next to a log on the soutern side of Warner Island, the larger sandy island east of the Ponquogue Bridge. The best vantage point is at the end of Road I which is between the bridge and the inlet. Wonderful to run into Dianne Taggart and Amy Halstead while looking at the owl! Also noteworthy was a flock of about 110 Common Eiders in the bay near the inlet. As others have also reported, around 1:30 p.m. I saw the Mountain Bluebird foraging from the snow fence e/o the intersection of Hulse Landing Road and Route 25A.

[nysbirds-l] Orange-crowned Warblers, n. Manhattan; White-fronted Goose, Bronx
Ann Shaw and I decided to chase some of the local (for us very local) lingering good birds in northern NYC. At Sherman's Creek/Swindler's Cove at the east end of Dyckman St. we found the two Orange-crowned Warblers, plus a very cooperative Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. (We didn't chase the Dickcissel in Inwood Hill Park at the west end of Dyckman since we have already seen it a few times, but we did hear from a birder we met at Sherman Creek that it was seen today.) Then we went up to Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx to look for the White-fronted Goose. We couldn't find it on the lake by the golf course and many of the Canada Geese there were flying out in the direction of the ball fields, so we drove up Broadway on the west side of Van Cortlandt Park. Just below W 251st Street we found about a thousand or so Canada Geese on the fields and quickly spotted the White-fronted on the near side of the flock.

[nysbirds-l] Want to get lucky, buy your wife lunch!
After church today, my wife RuthAnn agreed to accompany me down to Eastport, Suffolk Co., for a quick try at the Barnacle Goose. Upon arrival, I found Diana Teta, and 2 of her friends (unknown to me), looking at the BRNG, just as it swam into the 2nd cove on the w/s of Eastport Pond, and out of sight. I waited for about 45 minutes without success, before suggesting to RA about getting something to eat drink locally, and then returning for an even quicker quick try. She agreed (she had a book along ) and we proceeded to have a hearty tasty lunch at the diner in C.Morichies, located on the s/s of Main St., in the middle of town. Returning to Eastport, we found Pat Lindsay Shai Mitra on the scene, making for the 2nd time in 10 days, that I have had the good fortune of, literally, finding birders with their feet on the ground and the bird in their eye-peices!

[nysbirds-l] Sedge Wren and Barnacle Goose Continue
I arrived at Orient Point State Park around 11:45 this morning. It was not until 12:30 that I finally located the Sedge Wren in the north-south phrag./brush line that divides the marsh on the north side of the state park access road. The wren was extremely furtive, calling infrequently and giving brief views during our visit. It worked back and forth on each side of this phragmite line. In addition, around 5:15 this evening, the Barnacle Goose was discernible at the north end of Eastport Pond in the fading light.

[nysbirds-l] Alcids in NJ NY from Belmar, NJ Mackerel Fishing Boat
Today I boarded a Mackerel fishing trip out of Belmar with my brother Steve and birder Marty Dellwo. We first moved north and fished in NJ pelagic waters out to about a dozen miles. Fishing was OK, but the Capt. decided to move towards a pack of fish off NY, and we worked an area a mere 4-6 miles off the beach. Maybe somebody can identify where we were from the photos I posted on the Paulagics Birding Facebook page? The link to the gallery is: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.140871612695560.28753.13181671988type=1l=f7080e96d0 One of the big highlights were 10 DOVEKIES within a dozen or so miles of shore. The water out there is still warm (well, by Jan. standards for the area) and so Dovekies don't seem to be completely pushed farther offshore. 7 COMMON MURRES were not at all unexpected. Here are the results for the species I tabulated: Common Loon - 15+ Northern Gannet - 100+ Great Blue Heron - 1 (about a dozen miles offshore) Black-legged Kittiwake - 8 (5 NJ, 3 NY) Dovekie - 10 (4 NJ, 6 NY) Common Murre - 7 (3 NJ, 4 NY) murre sp - 4 Razorbill - 34 (22 NJ, 12 NY) Be sure to check out the photo gallery for this trip. Photo opportunities aren't the best from a fishing boat, but there's some identifiable stuff. We are running trips to these same waters next weekend from Freeport, NY on Sat. and from Belmar, NJ on Sun. Hope to see some of you aboard. -PAG -- *Paul A.
