[nysbirds-l] (7-5) Ruffs update from JBWR Queens County...

[Andrew Baksh]

Ruffs continue on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.  Both the
White-headed and Rufous Ruff (my nicknames) appear to be moving around a
lot.  As a result, it is getting tougher to find them; please be patient
when looking for either birds and look carefully along the edges of the
East side on the North End, which they seem to prefer.

Reminder, based on my observations: wader/knee high boots are preferred to
bird the pond; sneakers and hiking boots are not going to cut it unless you
don't mind the East Pond mud in your shoes.

I have posted some photos of the second Ruff
here.

[nysbirds-l] ADMIN: Fwd: lost grey in the woods, please help!

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

Good evening!

Although this is a pet bird, the owners are seeking area birders to help locate 
this Gray Parrot. The bird is reported to have been sighted in the Branchport, 
NY area. If interested, please read below or visit their link for more 
information. Thank you for the tolerance of this slight deviation from the List 
Rules.

Sincerely,

Subject: lost grey in the woods, please help!

Dear Chris,

We need your help.  A friend lives in the Groton, NY area and she and her 
husband have lost their 1-year-old African Grey Parrot.  His name is Makamae, 
(Maki for short) and he flew off 3 weeks ago.  He's lost in the woods and they 
are desperately looking for him.  Yesterday, he was sighted in the Branchport 
area near Penn Yan, New York.

Andrew Mason gave me your contact info and suggested that you may be able to 
post it on your wild bird list.

Is there anyone in your area or club that has some time to help them find this 
bird?  They are so devastated.  Please let people know.  He is a Congo African 
Grey Parrot.  His is dark gray on the back, light gray/whitish looking on the 
breast with white face and a red tail.  He's lost and terrified. If you see 
anything or can get people to help or can spread the word, their number is 
607-533-7096.  Their names are Marion and Gil Ferrer. Their cell is 
607-592-4201.  They are up there in the area looking for Maki now.

Here is a link to the site they have created: 
http://www.findingmakamae.com/98933876

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my note.
GREY'T Blessings,
Maggie Wright

[nysbirds-l] Fwd: Brown Booby - Cupsogue Beach, Westhampton - Suffolk

[Derek Rogers]

More on today's Brown Booby:

Needless to say, this bird really struck us by surprise. It was a good
reminder to always be prepared for just about anything. In the solid 30
seconds of viewing, as the booby flew toward us, past us and to
the distance, there were several physical characteristics that stood out.
First, was the birds overall, dark brown upperside which contained no
mottling or white upper-tail coverts. While not entirely visible on Arie's
photos, the bird exhibited a yellowish bill and legs. The bill color is one
of the main features that lead me to believe this bird was a little further
along than its 1st year. The lighting was variable as the bird flew from
west to east. The underparts apeared to be a bit lighter than that of a
juvenile, which I know can variable. There was a noticeable contrast
between the dark throat/chest area and it's lighter, one-toned belly.
I also thought it was interesting to see the bird where we did, flying
relatively low over the flats, which were well exposed. The bird banked a
couple of quick, low turns and had me hoping it would land a couple of
times. We watched it disappear in the distant east.

I have to thank Arie for being quick with the camera and obtaining these
identifiable photographs. http://dereksnest.blogspot.com

Some other birds of interest out on the flats were:

1 Whimbrel
1 Marbled Godwit
7 White-rumped Sandpiper
3 Black Tern (1 of which retained full breeding plumage)

At 2:15, while birding the bayside flats, a sub-adult BROWN BOOBY flew low,
directly across from and over mine and Arie Gilbert's head.

The bird exhibited solid brown above. There was slight, but not solid
contrast where the birds belly met its breast.

Arie managed to snap a few quick photos to further firm the I.D. I will get
them up on my Flickr site later this evening and share with the list.

Stay alert for this bird. Scan the tops of buoys in and around the inlets
as well as on Moriches and Shinnecock Bay.

Dear Chris,

We need your help.  A friend lives in the Groton, NY area and she and her 
husband have lost their 1-year-old African Grey Parrot.  His name is Makamae, 
(Maki for short) and he flew off 3 weeks ago.  He's lost in the woods and they 
are desperately looking for him.  Yesterday, he was sighted in the Branchport 
area near Penn Yan, New York.

Andrew Mason gave me your contact info and suggested that you may be able to 
post it on your wild bird list.

Is there anyone in your area or club that has some time to help them find this 
bird?  They are so devastated.  Please let people know.  He is a Congo African 
Grey Parrot.  His is dark gray on the back, light gray/whitish looking on the 
breast with white face and a red tail.  He's lost and terrified. If you see 
anything or can get people to help or can spread the word, their number is 
607-533-7096.  Their names are Marion and Gil Ferrer. Their cell is 
607-592-4201.  They are up there in the area looking for Maki now.

Here is a link to the site they have created:

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my note.
GREY'T Blessings,

[nysbirds-l] (7-5) Ruffs update from JBWR Queens County...

[Andrew Baksh]

Ruffs continue on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.  Both the
White-headed and Rufous Ruff (my nicknames) appear to be moving around a
lot.  As a result, it is getting tougher to find them; please be patient
when looking for either birds and look carefully along the edges of the
East side on the North End, which they seem to prefer.

Reminder, based on my observations: wader/knee high boots are preferred to
bird the pond; sneakers and hiking boots are not going to cut it unless you
don't mind the East Pond mud in your shoes.

I have posted some photos of the second Ruff

 The second Ruff that was discovered this morning has not been seen for
 well over an hour.  Last observed with Tom Burke, Gail Benson and Doug
 Futumya on the Southend of the East Pond.

 We think it could have flown off the pond...perhaps into the bay.  The
 initial Ruff from Sunday is still on the pond being seen on the eastern
 side from the North End past 'Dead Man's Cove' or 'Mud Cove' as named on
 NYC Audubon's East Pond map referenced in another post by Lynn Hertzog.
 Good and responsible birding!
