[nysbirds-l] Wilson's Storm-Petrels - American Princess Whale/Dolphin Cruise, Breezy Point

2012-08-09 Thread Keith Michael

I took the American Princess Whale/Dolphin Watching Cruise out of Riis Landing, 
Breezy Point, Queens today - noon to 4:00 pm, going to waters south of the 
Rockaways. As well as fantastic sightings, right beside the boat, of two 
Humpback Whales (all within sight of the NYC Skyline), 25-30 Wilson's 
Storm-Petrels made appearances during the 4-hour cruise. An extra treat.

I believe this to be a juvenile Foster's Tern already molting into the first
basic plumage.  See http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/forsters_tern/id for
more info about Forster's Tern.

Saw this in the distance on the shore of the west pond at JBWR on 8.8.12 I
cannot figure out what it is... thinking immature common tern or forster's
but the color on the body is throwing me off. Please email me directly at

[nysbirds-l] WHIMBRELS - Cedar Beach C.P., Southold, NY (Suffolk)

2012-08-09 Thread Derek Rogers

I decided to have lunch at Cedar Beach County Park today and I'm glad I did. At 
least 6 WHIMBRELS were feeding during low tide on the inside flats as well as 
along the edges of the marsh. The birds were evenly spread out within the 
complex. Some of the birds were often concealed behind patches of Spartina 
alterniflora but would sporadically come into view. There was one individual 
that put on a nice, close-viewing show. As I mentioned, I counted a definitive 
6 during one of my last scope sweeps. The birds were mobile, flying from one 
foraging area to the next. Given the movement and hidden viewing conditions, I 
wouldn't have been very surprised if there were a couple more out there. Time 
constraints forced me to move on before I could confirm my suspicions of more 
than 6 individuals.  
 
 Best,

[nysbirds-l] Intro

2012-08-09 Thread Myspirit6950

Hello everyone, My name is John Martino, I'm 62 years old and retired for  
nine years now. I started bird watching in April of this year and really  
enjoying getting out, traveling, meeting people, and ofcoarse observing birds. 
I  live in the Bronx, Throggs Neck and frequent Pelham Bay Park and Orchard 
beach  when parking is free in the off season. I use a Nikon D60 with a 
55-300mm lens  for my bird photography and a pair of Nikon Prostaff 7 
Binoculars. This  morning I took a walk at Pelham Bay Park here in the Bronx 
and 
observed Robins,  Starlings, a variety of sparrows (sorry I don't know the 
different species of  Sparrows yet), and I also saw a beautiful Cardinal near 
the 
Victory memorial in  the trees just before the landfill. Another favorite 
spot for me is Rockefeller  State Park and Preserve. I saw a Red Tail Hawk, 
and a Blue Heron near and on the  Lake last week.
Happy birding
John Martino
Bronx, NY

[nysbirds-l] marbled godwit

2012-08-09 Thread MICHAEL HIGGISTON

The marbled godwit was seen west of the Ponquogue Bridge this morning 
around 9 AM at low tide.  It was best seen from the end of Road K, 
bayside, looking to the northwest.  There is a dirt spit with reeds, 
just west of the big island.  The godwit was seen just beyond the dirt 
spit in the water preening.  It was still there at 9:30, when we left. 
A scope is recommended.

Saw this in the distance on the shore of the west pond at JBWR on 8.8.12 I 
cannot figure out what it is... thinking immature common tern or forster's but 
the color on the body is throwing me off. Please email me directly at
droidr...@yahoo.com

thanks in advance

I believe this to be a juvenile Foster's Tern already molting into the first
basic plumage.  See http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/forsters_tern/id for
more info about Forster's Tern.

[nysbirds-l] Wilson's Storm-Petrels - American Princess Whale/Dolphin Cruise, Breezy Point

2012-08-09 Thread Keith Michael

I took the American Princess Whale/Dolphin Watching Cruise out of Riis Landing, 
Breezy Point, Queens today - noon to 4:00 pm, going to waters south of the 
Rockaways. As well as fantastic sightings, right beside the boat, of two 
Humpback Whales (all within sight of the NYC Skyline), 25-30 Wilson's 
Storm-Petrels made appearances during the 4-hour cruise. An extra treat.
