[nysbirds-l] 1st Killdeer of 2012 (for me in Suffolk)
Today at dusk while jogging through the athletic fields of the Center Moriches Highschool, Suffolk county, a Killdeer called out letting me know I was not alone. This is my personal first observation this year of this species. Also, this past weekend observed 3 Razorbill in Shinnecock inlet viewed from the County Parks parking lot. Among them were 3 harbor seals and one surfaced with a flounder that filled its grin.

[nysbirds-l] Fwd: Pink-footed Goose - Holtsville, Suffolk
I have included a link to my Flickr site which contain some digiscope photographs of the Pink-footed Goose in Holtsville. http://www.flickr.com/photos/39025168@N07/sets/72157629424681587/ The coordinates for the soccer field are: 40.82390, -73.04073 Good luck if you go! Best, Derek Rogers Sayville -- Forwarded message -- From: Derek Rogers Date: Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 5:45 PM Subject: Pink-footed Goose - Holtsville, Suffolk To: NY Bird List At 4:45 PM I observed a Pink-footed Goose foraging in a large soccer field in Holtsville. The field is located along the North service road of the Long Island Expressway, just west of Blue Point Road. You can't miss it. The goose was still present at 5:30 PM when I left the site. It was among approximately 500 Canada Geese. I managed some decent digiscope photos and got some video footage as well. I will post the photos in my Flickr page later this evening and will share. Hopefully this field is part of the birds daily foraging pattern. What drew my attention was not only the number of geese present in the field but also the groups I observed landing in as a drove past the field heading west on the expressway. This prompted my interest in turning around for a closer look. I'm glad I did! -Derek Rogers Sayville -- 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] Audubon's Warbler continues at Sunken Meadow State Park (Suffolk Co.)
At Sunken Meadow State Park (SMSP) this morning the Audubon's Warbler put in a brief appearance with Myrtle Warblers and Black-capped Chickadees at the east end of the trail that borders the south side of Sunken Meadow Creek, just south of the creek outlet. The warblers quickly left the chickadees and started working their way up the hillside, favoring the Junipers. A photo of the warbler can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kfeustel/ Ken Feustel -- 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/ --
