[nysbirds-l] Black and White Warbler - Franklin Pond Preserve, Cold Spring Harbor- Suffolk

2012-04-02 Thread Derek Rogers 
In the spirit of the 2012 Spring migration I thought id share that I had a lone 
BLACK & WHITE WARBLER along the edge of Franklin Pond at around noon.

I pulled in real quick to scan the pond when my eye caught a warbler flying in 
from the north. Lucky for me it decided to land right next to me at eye level. 
The bird presented excellent views and eventually continued south.

Not much else of note of other than a transitioning Yellow-rumped Warbler, an 
Osprey, Great-blue Heron, Eastern Phoebe and 5 Ring-necked Ducks.

Just a note for the record that Franklin Pond's perimeter is all Private Road. 
Part of the Greenbelt skirts the wetland that located at the ponds south end.

Best,

[nysbirds-l] Waterbird fallout yesterday

2012-04-02 Thread Christopher Wood 
Hi everyone,

Conditions yesterday in Upstate New York and much of Pennsylvania were
ideal for a widespread waterbird fallout. Here in Ithaca, this is sometimes
referred to as the "Dryden Lake Effect", after the small lake in eastern
Tompkins county that hosts numbers of grebes, scoters, loons and other
divers in inclement weather (mostly mid-March to mid-April). This
phenomenon applies to most waterbodies;  when migrating birds run into
precipitation they often land at whatever water they find. They prefer
larger waterbodies, but will use what they can find.

Given the large number of birders exploring Tompkins and Broome counties, I
was curious if I could find some of these species at some of the smaller
lakes in Cortland County and was very pleased with the results. It's pretty
fun to drive up to a little lake surrounded by houses, that really
shouldn't have any birds and see White-winged Scoter or Red-necked Grebe.

Highlights included:
3 Red-necked Grebes at Dwyer Memorial Park
2 White-winged Scoters at Song Lake and 2 at an impoundment along Hwy 11
(and 2 at Dryden Lake in Tompkins Co.)
5 Red-breasted Mergansers at the large quarry east of Cortland and a female
at Dwyer Memorial Park
6 Common Loon at the large quarry east of Cortland.
5 Bonaparte's Gulls in a field south of Tully Lakes.
1 Lesser Black-backed Gull at the large quarry east of Cortland and 2 in a
field in northeastern Tompkins County.

I checked the south end of Owasco Lake and Skaneateles Lake and aside from
a Common Loon at Owasco, did not see anything I thought was likely brought
down by this system.

eBird begins to show the widespread nature of this event. Even with no
coordination among observers, it still appears that a good selection of
waterbodies were checked yesterday. The links below are for the month of
April for this year so as of this writing will show birds seen yesterday
and this morning. If you click on these at the end of the week, they will
show the results for the entire week (so click now!). While some of these
birds have been present for long periods of time, I believe the great
majority of birds at ponds and small lakes were brought down by yesterday's
weather. Zoom into the Northeast. Also be sure to click on the points and
then click the link for the checklists to view all the species that were
seen. It's also interesting to compare places like Dryden Lake, which were
heavily covered, to see the extent of movement throughout the day. The
birds we saw in the morning were almost completely different from those in
the afternoon afternoon.

RED-NECKED GREBE
http://ebird.org/ebird/map/rengre?=true=4=4=on=2012=2012

LONG-TAILED DUCK
http://ebird.org/ebird/map/lotduc?=true=4=4=on=2012=2012

WHITE-WINGED SCOTER

HORNED GREBE:
http://ebird.org/ebird/map/horgre?=true=4=4=on=2012=2012

In part, this email is meant to highlight how interesting these
low-ceiling, rainy spring days can be for birding. I encourage people to go
beyond the usual "good places" and check water bodies that are poorly
covered . . . and, of course, enter these into eBird so that we can gain a
more complete picture of what is happening. Of course, checking on sunny
days is important too (but probably won't result in as many unusual
sightings).

Incidentally, we have been writing weekly migration forecasts in eBird as
part of our BirdCast work. To view this weeks (which suggested a fallout
this weekend) visit the following URL:

[nysbirds-l] Wood Ducks and Ring Neck Ducks at the Great Neck Library

2012-04-02 Thread matt klein 

Udall's Pond at the Great Neck Library, which was dredged recently, has been 
experienced an excellent revival of bird life.  Wood duck, Ring-neck duck, 
Bufflehead and Red-breaster merganser have been regulars, in addition to the 
usual mallards, canada geese and black ducks.  Hopefully, this trend will 
continue.

[nysbirds-l] Black and White Warbler - Franklin Pond Preserve, Cold Spring Harbor- Suffolk

2012-04-02 Thread Derek Rogers 
In the spirit of the 2012 Spring migration I thought id share that I had a lone 
BLACK  WHITE WARBLER along the edge of Franklin Pond at around noon.

I pulled in real quick to scan the pond when my eye caught a warbler flying in 
from the north. Lucky for me it decided to land right next to me at eye level. 
The bird presented excellent views and eventually continued south.

Not much else of note of other than a transitioning Yellow-rumped Warbler, an 
Osprey, Great-blue Heron, Eastern Phoebe and 5 Ring-necked Ducks.

Just a note for the record that Franklin Pond's perimeter is all Private Road. 
Part of the Greenbelt skirts the wetland that located at the ponds south end.

Best,
Derek Rogers
