Re: [nysbirds-l] FW: Gilgo, Suffolk Co. Gyrfalcon

[Tim Dunn]

A quick review of the link provided by Luke Ormand reflects that nestling 
falcons can only be taken between May 1 and July 15, first year birds can only 
be taken between September 1 and January 25, and adult birds may not be taken 
at all and must be released upon capture. 

Presuming the law considers any bird older than a first year bird to be an 
adult, there seems to be NO circumstance under which any falconer should be 
poking around at Gilgo Beach for the purpose of pursuing that Gyrfalcon, (the 
only exception I can imagine would be if it is an escapee of theirs that they 
are trying to recover). 

Therefore, it seems that any such person attempting to pursue or otherwise 
involve themselves with the Gilgo Gyr would be engaged in criminal (and 
nefarious, which usually means wicked, villainous or unlawful) activity, unless 
they are a state DEC worker subject to the exceptions at the end of the 
section. Additionally, I'm of the impression that a falconer violating these 
provisions would also be breaking federal law, including the Migratory Bird 
Treaty Act.

[nysbirds-l] carmans river - Squassux landing

[Luke Ormand]

I took a walk around the Squassax Landing marina (Brookhaven Hamlet) this
morning (private) at the mouth of the Carmans River.  There was a Northern
Harrier over the marshes and a small cluster of coots around the entrance
to the marina (with a few buffleheads).  A couple of coots were inside the
marina, but that was about it.

[nysbirds-l] Lake Champlain

[Alan Drogin]

Birded the east side of the Adirondaks this last weekend primarily around Lake 
Champlain which is mostly unfrozen.  Large numbers of Common Goldeneye, 
Mallards and Canada Geese.  Also plenty of Common Mergansers and Lesser Scaup.  
Small numbers of Bufflehead, Ruddy, and Horned Grebe.  The usual gulls - 
Ring-billed, Herring, and Greater Black-backed in order of predominance.  
Nicest find was two lone Snow Geese near the water treatment plant at Westport.

Re: [nysbirds-l] FW: Gilgo, Suffolk Co. Gyrfalcon

[Luke Ormand]

Just an FYI to anyone who thinks they witness "nefarious" activities
(whatever that is defined...) falconers do have legal rights in the state
of NY and falconry is highly regulated in the state of NY.  For more
information on what falconers can and cannot do, please visit:
http://www.dec.ny.gov/regs/3940.html#13312

If a falconer is seen taking the bird/trying to take the bird/or is
suspected of taking the bird, the DEC can (and probably should) be
contacted and asked to provide any/all documentation pertaining to this
taking (most likely through a FOIL request - hopefully someone from the DEC
can give more specific information).  If we as birders want our "rights" to
be respected, it's best to respect the "rights" of others, regardless of if
"we" agree with them or not.

(P.S. no I'm not a falconer nor am I related to any)

[nysbirds-l] FW: Gilgo, Suffolk Co. Gyrfalcon

[pjlindsay]

I thought a brief explanation would be in order for all who are 
wondering why word of this bird did not get out via public forum until 
yesterday.


My niece Holly Wilson and I found the Gyrfalcon last Sunday late 
morning, and it was seen only very intermittently and very briefly 
untill around 2 PM, when it seemed to have vanished for good. Given a 
negative experience with another LI Gyrfalcon in the recent past, when a 
falconer came forward after the sighting and claimed to have lost the 
very bird (a fact  which defied verification), we decided to keep it 
word of mouth for the time being.


Despite dedicated searching by several parties during the following 
week, the bird was NOT refound. When the NY RBA was published Friday 
night the bird was presumed to have moved on.


Yesterday morning, Saturday, the Gyr was seen perched on an Osprey 
platform at Gilgo, and then flying off and disappearing to the 
southwest; subsequent searchers evenually spotted it perched on a low 
tree at a great distance out on the Gilgo marsh, with rain and fog and 
the bird's refusal to move precluding any detail of plumage and making 
for a very frustrating and wet experience. A known falconer was seen at 
Gilgo looking for the bird. We felt it would still be prudent not to 
post to NYSBirds, for reasons stated above and because of the potential 
sensitivity of the location, which is the beach restoration project 
staging area, very active Monday to Saturday. It was, however, reported 
on eBird by several birders.


With the bird's performance today, and with word getting out far and 
wide, I am happy almost everyone who wanted to got to see it. I hope 
that it will stick around for the rest of the folks who try for it, and 
that if anyone witnesses any nefarious activity, it will be reported to 
this list and to the local Bay Constable and/or the DEC.

[nysbirds-l] Parking Lot Gulls

[Steve Walter]

Most days that I look at gulls in parking lots, an off colored Herring Gull
has to pass for an interesting one. Not the case today. First it was the
adult ICELAND GULL that I reported earlier from Point Lookout. While I
stated that it appeared to be the rare nominate race, I am informed that a
tiny percentage of our regular Kumlien's race can be without gray in the
wingtips. Pictures are provided (at the link below) for anyone that feels
able to distinguish.

 

At Jones Beach West End 2, keeping in mind the previously reported Glaucous
Gull, my attention was drawn to a somewhat uniformly beige colored juvenile.
My impression from looking at it live (size, for one thing) and the pictures
make me think something else. But it seems kind of dark for Iceland and some
of the features in the pictures (mainly the brownish tan primaries) seem to
put Thayer's into consideration. I put a quick post up on my web site
without narration. The pictures are large to facilitate careful study (but
compressed enough so they should load quickly). Go to
http://www.stevewalternature.com/ and click the link below the Razorbill
feature.

[nysbirds-l] Barnacle and cackling larchmont

Well not a gyr but Kyle Bardwell and I had good looks at the Barnacle goose at 
Larchmont Reservoir about 8:30 am today and just a bit west off Weaver street 
at Quaker Ridge school (from same flock of Canadas as had been on reservoir) 
was a beautiful cackling goose. To complete the scene we did have a falcon 
flyover albeit peregrine. Photos of both geese (by Kyle) and google map 
coordinates are on Saw Mill River Audubon's flickr group:

Subject: RE: [nysbirds-l] Van Cortlandt Park

I should have thought of this before. Van Cortlandt Park has of one the few
(maybe only) remaining populations of Silvery Checkerspot (butterfly) in the
region. It has disappeared from Connecticut and New Jersey. I knew of a few
populations in Westchester, but I believe these are gone. Even when the
checkerspots were there, the Van Cortlandt population was larger and more
significant. I don't know the status in the rest of New York and whether a
state agency (DEC, Natural Heritage Program) could get involved here. Needs
to be looked into. 

 

The Silvery Checkerspot lives in open areas in woodlands. It lays its eggs
on Woodland Sunflower, the only plant on which the larva can feed and grow.
Paving in the Van Cortlandt woodlands has to be viewed as a major threat to
the species surviving in our area.

Yesterday our walk at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx yielded the following
highlights:  EASTERN BLUEBIRDS, 2 seen just before the trail off the Parade
Grounds that leads to the foot bridge along the golf course.  In this same
area, we had an unexpected FIELD SPARROW, which unfortunately took off
rather quickly due to foot traffic; the bird was last seen heading up into
Vault Hill accompanied by an American Tree Sparrow.

At the foot bridge near the golf course, we had 4 RUSTY BLACKBIRDS and this
area remains reliable to see them.  Also 4 REDWING BLACKBIRDS also put in an
appearance, the most we have seen this winter in that area.  WINTER WRENS, 2
reluctant birds, one near the foot bridge and another on the inner path
along the Putnam Trail.  HORNED LARKS 9, on the Parade Grounds.  KILLDEERS
2, on the Parade Grounds as well.

Later on at Orchard Beach Pelham Bay Park , Andria and I had 2 flocks of
COMMON GOLDENEYES 47 and 9 respectively; both rafts seen off of Twin Island
as well as 23 PURPLE SANDPIPERS flying around as the tide came in.  These
were also viewed off of Twin Island looking out towards Execution Rocks
Lighthouse.

Finally, walking along the Putnam Trail yesterday at Van Cortlandt Park, was
a very poignant moment for me as I thought of the trees and habitat loss
that will take place if and when the Putnam Trail, is paved over with
asphalt.  Areas along the path that I learned about and became familiar
with, that hosted nesting Blue Gray Gnatcatchers, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks,
Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Yellow Warblers, Orchard Orioles and Baltimore
Orioles to name a few will all be lost.  We are indeed a SELFISH species!!

If you are interested and want to voice your opinion against the paving of
the trail, you may visit and sign the petition at

Subject: RE: [nysbirds-l] Van Cortlandt Park

I should have thought of this before. Van Cortlandt Park has of one the few
(maybe only) remaining populations of Silvery Checkerspot (butterfly) in the
region. It has disappeared from Connecticut and New Jersey. I knew of a few
populations in Westchester, but I believe these are gone. Even when the
checkerspots were there, the Van Cortlandt population was larger and more
significant. I don't know the status in the rest of New York and whether a
state agency (DEC, Natural Heritage Program) could get involved here. Needs
to be looked into. 

 

The Silvery Checkerspot lives in open areas in woodlands. It lays its eggs
on Woodland Sunflower, the only plant on which the larva can feed and grow.
Paving in the Van Cortlandt woodlands has to be viewed as a major threat to
the species surviving in our area.

Subject: [nysbirds-l] Van Cortlandt Park and Pelham Bay Park Report...

 

Yesterday our walk at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx yielded the following
highlights:  EASTERN BLUEBIRDS, 2 seen just before the trail off the Parade
Grounds that leads to the foot bridge along the golf course.  In this same
area, we had an unexpected FIELD SPARROW, which unfortunately took off
rather quickly due to foot traffic; the bird was last seen heading up into
Vault Hill accompanied by an American Tree Sparrow.

At the foot bridge near the golf course, we had 4 RUSTY BLACKBIRDS and this
area remains reliable to see them.  Also 4 REDWING BLACKBIRDS also put in an
appearance, the most we have seen this winter in that area.  WINTER WRENS, 2
reluctant birds, one near the foot bridge and another on the inner path
along the Putnam Trail.  HORNED LARKS 9, on the Parade Grounds.  KILLDEERS
2, on the Parade Grounds as well.

Later on at Orchard Beach Pelham Bay Park , Andria and I had 2 flocks of
COMMON GOLDENEYES 47 and 9 respectively; both rafts seen off of Twin Island
as well as 23 PURPLE SANDPIPERS flying around as the tide came in.  These
were also viewed off of Twin Island looking out towards Execution Rocks
Lighthouse.

Finally, walking along the Putnam Trail yesterday at Van Cortlandt Park, was
a very poignant moment for me as I thought of the trees and habitat loss
that will take place if and when the Putnam Trail, is paved over with
asphalt.  Areas along the path that I learned about and became familiar
with, that hosted nesting Blue Gray Gnatcatchers, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks,
Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Yellow Warblers, Orchard Orioles and Baltimore
Orioles to name a few will all be lost.  We are indeed a SELFISH species!!

If you are interested and want to voice your opinion against the paving of
the trail, you may visit and sign the petition at

Good and Responsible Birding!

[nysbirds-l] Barnacle and cackling larchmont

[Larry Trachtenberg]

Well not a gyr but Kyle Bardwell and I had good looks at the Barnacle goose at 
Larchmont Reservoir about 8:30 am today and just a bit west off Weaver street 
at Quaker Ridge school (from same flock of Canadas as had been on reservoir) 
was a beautiful cackling goose. To complete the scene we did have a falcon 
flyover albeit peregrine. Photos of both geese (by Kyle) and google map 
coordinates are on Saw Mill River Audubon's flickr group:

[nysbirds-l] FW: Gilgo, Suffolk Co. Gyrfalcon

[pjlindsay]

I thought a brief explanation would be in order for all who are 
wondering why word of this bird did not get out via public forum until 
yesterday.


My niece Holly Wilson and I found the Gyrfalcon last Sunday late 
morning, and it was seen only very intermittently and very briefly 
untill around 2 PM, when it seemed to have vanished for good. Given a 
negative experience with another LI Gyrfalcon in the recent past, when a 
falconer came forward after the sighting and claimed to have lost the 
very bird (a fact  which defied verification), we decided to keep it 
word of mouth for the time being.


Despite dedicated searching by several parties during the following 
week, the bird was NOT refound. When the NY RBA was published Friday 
night the bird was presumed to have moved on.


Yesterday morning, Saturday, the Gyr was seen perched on an Osprey 
platform at Gilgo, and then flying off and disappearing to the 
southwest; subsequent searchers evenually spotted it perched on a low 
tree at a great distance out on the Gilgo marsh, with rain and fog and 
the bird's refusal to move precluding any detail of plumage and making 
for a very frustrating and wet experience. A known falconer was seen at 
Gilgo looking for the bird. We felt it would still be prudent not to 
post to NYSBirds, for reasons stated above and because of the potential 
sensitivity of the location, which is the beach restoration project 
staging area, very active Monday to Saturday. It was, however, reported 
on eBird by several birders.


With the bird's performance today, and with word getting out far and 
wide, I am happy almost everyone who wanted to got to see it. I hope 
that it will stick around for the rest of the folks who try for it, and 
that if anyone witnesses any nefarious activity, it will be reported to 
this list and to the local Bay Constable and/or the DEC.

Re: [nysbirds-l] FW: Gilgo, Suffolk Co. Gyrfalcon

[Luke Ormand]

Just an FYI to anyone who thinks they witness nefarious activities
(whatever that is defined...) falconers do have legal rights in the state
of NY and falconry is highly regulated in the state of NY.  For more
information on what falconers can and cannot do, please visit:
http://www.dec.ny.gov/regs/3940.html#13312

If a falconer is seen taking the bird/trying to take the bird/or is
suspected of taking the bird, the DEC can (and probably should) be
contacted and asked to provide any/all documentation pertaining to this
taking (most likely through a FOIL request - hopefully someone from the DEC
can give more specific information).  If we as birders want our rights to
be respected, it's best to respect the rights of others, regardless of if
we agree with them or not.

(P.S. no I'm not a falconer nor am I related to any)

[nysbirds-l] Lake Champlain

[Alan Drogin]

Birded the east side of the Adirondaks this last weekend primarily around Lake 
Champlain which is mostly unfrozen.  Large numbers of Common Goldeneye, 
Mallards and Canada Geese.  Also plenty of Common Mergansers and Lesser Scaup.  
Small numbers of Bufflehead, Ruddy, and Horned Grebe.  The usual gulls - 
Ring-billed, Herring, and Greater Black-backed in order of predominance.  
Nicest find was two lone Snow Geese near the water treatment plant at Westport.

[nysbirds-l] carmans river - Squassux landing

[Luke Ormand]

I took a walk around the Squassax Landing marina (Brookhaven Hamlet) this
morning (private) at the mouth of the Carmans River.  There was a Northern
Harrier over the marshes and a small cluster of coots around the entrance
to the marina (with a few buffleheads).  A couple of coots were inside the
marina, but that was about it.

Re: [nysbirds-l] FW: Gilgo, Suffolk Co. Gyrfalcon

[Tim Dunn]

A quick review of the link provided by Luke Ormand reflects that nestling 
falcons can only be taken between May 1 and July 15, first year birds can only 
be taken between September 1 and January 25, and adult birds may not be taken 
at all and must be released upon capture. 

Presuming the law considers any bird older than a first year bird to be an 
adult, there seems to be NO circumstance under which any falconer should be 
poking around at Gilgo Beach for the purpose of pursuing that Gyrfalcon, (the 
only exception I can imagine would be if it is an escapee of theirs that they 
are trying to recover). 

Therefore, it seems that any such person attempting to pursue or otherwise 
involve themselves with the Gilgo Gyr would be engaged in criminal (and 
nefarious, which usually means wicked, villainous or unlawful) activity, unless 
they are a state DEC worker subject to the exceptions at the end of the 
section. Additionally, I'm of the impression that a falconer violating these 
provisions would also be breaking federal law, including the Migratory Bird 
Treaty Act. 

Thanks,
