[nysbirds-l] Montauk CBC - Preliminary Results

[Angus Wilson]

The 113th Montauk Christmas Bird Count [NYMK] was held on Saturday (15 Dec
2012). Although there were some gaps among the regular participants this
year, we fielded six eager teams who fanned out across the abundance of
great territory that remains at this extreme eastern tip of Long Island.
Collectively the count tallied *132* species for the day, plus Ipswich
Sparrow (distinctive subspecies of Savannah Sparrow); a very respectable
total.

Four additional species were added for count week: GLAUCOUS GULL,
BLACK-HEADED GULL, COMMON MURRE and BLACK GUILLEMOT. On count day there
were two new additions to the already lengthy circle list: CACKLING GOOSE
and BOAT-TAILED GRACKLE. Although one or two Cackling Geese have been
present in the circle in recent winters, they've always managed to avoid
detection on count day until members of the 'Point South Party' found one
among the Canada Geese grazing on a Deep Hollow pasture. The Boat-tailed
Grackle, a very notable find on the South Fork east of the Shinnecock Canal
at any time of year, was flushed up from the tidal saltmarsh at the
southern tip of Gardiner's Island.

Other highlights included 4 RED-NECKED GREBES, a record showing of 58
DOVEKIES (seen by multiple parties from vantage points in Montauk), 2
EURASIAN WIGEON (males at Rita's stable and Gardiner's Island), 2
ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS (Gardiner's Island), single SNOWY, SHORT-EARED and
SAW-WHET OWLS and continuing flocks of RED and WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLLS.
There were new high counts of GREATER YELLOWLEGS (7), AMERICAN PIPIT (34)
and RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH (168), with a good count of HAIRY WOODPECKER
(13), the latter two being consistent with the general influx of northern
woodland species this fall. Otherwise song bird numbers were generally
lower than normal, especially on Gardiner's Island, and is perhaps a
reflection of the relatively mild weather so far. For instance, Brown
Thrasher, Gray Catbird and Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warbler were all well
below recent averages.

To the disappointment of many, the juvenile BROWN PELICAN that had been
lingering around the Montauk Inlet for a week or more, disappeared just
before the count period and has not been reported since.

Doubtless the final numbers from the count will undergo some minor
adjustments. A big 'thank you' to all of the hardworking participants and
to Robert Goelet and his staff for enabling us to census Gardiner's Island
and to Frank Quevedo and his staff at the South Fork Natural History Museum
for hosting the compilation. All-in-all it was a great day to be out in the
field.

The next count is slated for Saturday 14 Dec 2013. Please consider joining
us. If interested, send an email and we'll add you to the database.

Compilers: Angus Wilson, Karen Rubinstein and Hugh McGuinness

[nysbirds-l] Revised Kings County CBC 12/15

[prosbird]

A photo taken  by Barbara Wasserman and received 2 days ago to us of a 
juvenile drake EURASIAN WIGEON  taken on Count day in Marine Park's 
Gerritsen Creek from the Salt Marsh trail has increased the overall 
count to 135 which ties our all time record. I am forwarding this 
message from Rick Cech our count compiler. The photo was included in 
the Cornell birds Marine Park checklist which you can see here

Re: [nysbirds-l] Tufted Duck

[Arie Gilbert]

  
  
Today, Bob Hayes and I went to locate the Tufted Duck, arriving 5
min after another birder on location said it had been spooked by a
returning boat.  We did see it, but a bit north of its favored
location. 

We re-located the bird in the company of a second female type bird;
the distance of which in the scope made the ID a challenge enough
for the TUDU; I cannot say one way or another with personal
certainty if the female was another TUDU as had been reported, or a
female of a different species, fwiw. 

The birds were just south of the Huntington Yacht Club.  We tried to
relocate there and get better views but the ducks had again
relocated before we could secure an adequate vantage point. 

see map http://goo.gl/maps/GPExu   for locations specified.

[nysbirds-l] TUFTED DUCK PAIR, Huntington Harbor, Dec. 18th, 2012

[Carl Starace]

Hi,  Dick Belanger went for the male Tufted Duck this morning.  He
arrived at the harbor at 10am and found the male with a female
directly across from Tutto Pazzo Restaurant. The pair were just 100 feet
off the dock and he watched them for over a half hour before a passing boat
caused them to fly off towards the Sound. He said the female's head was
rich brown and there was just the hint of white by the base of bill. Wish
now I had gone with him when he had called early this morning.   Good
December Birding   ,  Carl Starace

[nysbirds-l] ADMIN: Location, Location, Location!

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

Good afternoon,

I think this may be my last request for the day. As a reminder, please be sure 
to indicate the general location of your sightings, even if a message is a 
follow-up to a posting from several days earlier. It only helps to clarify 
information to anyone reading a message posted to NYSbirds-L. There are new 
people joining all the time and there are always visitors to the area who are 
gleaning information from the Web archives. Please keep this in mind when 
providing location information in your postings.

There is one caveat, though: please do NOT post specific locations of roosting 
owls on NYSbirds-L – see my "Owls and Ethical Birding" message, archived here: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/msg08965.html (sorry about 
the odd formatting).

Thanks very much and good birding!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

[nysbirds-l] Blue Geese Baiting Hollow

[Peter Priolo]

While out goosing I just came upon ~300 Canada Geese with 5 blue morph Snow 
Geese at this moment in the lowland of a sod field gathered near standing 
water. Route 25 north of road just west of Citgo gas station. 
Close enough for good views and sunlight good this afternoon. I parked near 
chain with orange ribbon near an old barn. East of poultry farm and where 
Mountain Bluebird was last year.

[nysbirds-l] ADMIN: Four-Letter Abbreviations

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

Good afternoon,

I have received a number of complaints over the past few weeks concerning the 
increasing use of four-letter abbreviations of bird species being reported in 
postings to NYSbirds-L.

Out of consideration for most of the recipients on this eList, please do not 
use abbreviated bird names when you make your postings. This only adds to the 
confusion, both to readers who are subscribed to this eList and to those who 
are browsing any of the Web archives.

By spelling out the names of the bird species being reported in postings to 
NYSbirds-L, this will eliminate all possible confusion and misunderstanding.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me off-list.

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

[nysbirds-l] Barnacle Goose, Belmont Lake, North Babylon (Suffolk)

[Derek Rogers]

I'm currently viewing a BARNACLE GOOSE on the south end of Belmont Lake S.P.

I'm thinking there's a good chance this could be the Wellwood individual that I 
found on Saturday. I'll be driving through Wellwood soon and will report if I 
locate another individual.

There is also a GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE  toward the north end of the lake.
