[nysbirds-l] Wading River
Hello all, Thanks for all the private messages; even the dodgy ones. Sorry about the botched crake sighting and I am fully aware I’ve never mastered anything in the bird world now. At home backyard birds were a doddle. I admire you folk’s talents and spirit. A friendly lass suggested I go to Wading River to waddle around a bit with the spectacles and I did. What a nightmare Riverhead is at 7 bells for a bloke arse over elbow with your righty steering. Getting into Long Island’s countryside is wonderful. My first stop was a Baited Hollow for Boy Scouts. I called my friend at work to see if these Boy Scouts were dangerous first. He said to just try it out; and if there was no gate go for it and I did. What a commencement! Eastern wood-pee-wee (sang his name, love those) More yellow warblers (brilliant) Wood thrush (what a beautiful warbling trill) Ovenbird (drab and secretive) A flash of an understory hawk that almost ate an ovenbird! He failed because he blooming startled me off my seat, which scared the ovenbird. A piece of water had a cracker of a belted kingfisher. I sat and waited like I do with our common kingfishers for the coup de grace on a fish but it never occurred. These kingfishers remind me of my love for fish. American goldfinch. (the most soothing song so far. Helped me with the recent split with ex. I would have poured a beer for that bird.) Spotted sandpiper. (Got home three hours ago and just got secure enough to post its sighting. Bopping around and all that shuffled together with its outward appearances, crikey). Best for last; wood duck. Only for a moment with a departing whistling squawk that surely befits a different species of drabber design. Got into some brambles that about ripped my pants off and I’m nursing ticks these days as well. Some of this Islands plants and creatures can get stuffed for all I care. And don’t send me emails about how you like brambles and spider mites. I will take head to the spirit of the site as explained from a member in privacy and will lay off posting what is common and Bob’s your Uncle. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Bobolinks
5/22/13 Long Lake (Hamilton Co.) *Eastern Wood-Pewee arrived outside our house today. A migrant *Tennessee Warbler was singing at dawn outside our home. I had a lovely view of one of the breeding Mourning Warblers on our property this morning. 5/21/13 Tupper Lake Marsh (Franklin Co.) & Sabattis Bog (Hamilton Co.) *Yellow-bellied Flycatchers were back yesterday at Sabattis Bog. There are Bobolinks at Tupper Lake Marsh again this year - way out from the platform (bring a scope). They are in the same area as the Sedge Wren.

[nysbirds-l] Mourning Warbler, Ferncliff Dutchess cty
At around 9:45 AM I had a male MOURNING WARBLER along the Bridal Path thickets at Ferncliff Forest in Rhinebeck. Before I even heard it sing it flew into a bush right alongside the path and stayed at really close range. When it did sing it was surprisingly quiet so if any of you go there be sure to keep your eyes/ears open carefully. A CANADA WARBLER was also singing in the vicinity. To get to the Bridal Path from the parking lot bear left when you reach the pond from the main trail. A short ways down you'll see a fork in the trails with a sign saying Bridal Path on a tree heading into the thickets. The Mourning was just a short ways in from the start of the path. Trail maps are also available at the parking lot kiosk.

[nysbirds-l] Frigate Bird, Suffolk county
At about 2:30 PM yesterday, May 21, at exit 63 on the LIE, while traveling at 60 mph, we had a brief view of a Fregata species, most likely a Magnificent Frigatebird, based on the historical pattern of occurrence. While few details could be discerned, the characteristic silhouette of this bird, which we have both seen many times, is unique and unmistakeable. The flat black profile with thin, sharply angled wings was well seen, and the bird continued on a southward glide, never flapping its wings, as is characteristic. The Levine update of Bull lists 18 NY occurrences, mostly from Suffolk county, with the majority of records from May to September. We will report to NYSARC.

[nysbirds-l] Bicknell's in Green-Wood Cemetery
I'm watching (and listening to) a Bicknell's Thrush in Green-Wood Cemetery right now. It is on a hillside on the South side of the Sylvan Water. The bird is within a stand of yew trees below several cedars.
