[nysbirds-l] 2/1- Freeport Pelagic Trip Results
Today's Paulagics pelagic trip out of Freeport (Nassau County), NY was an incredible success, and not just because of the amazingly good weather (including seas so glassy that birds were at times identifiable by just their reflection in the water). Highlights were as follows: Razorbill- 279 Common Murre- 242 (Shattering the old New York State high count by several fold) Atlantic Puffin- 7 Dovekie- ~230 Alcid sp.- 30 Northern Fulmar- 2 Black-legged Kittiwake- ~25 (all were adults except for 1 juvenile/first winter bird) "Kumlien's" Iceland Gull- 1 (3rd or 4th cycle (very adult-like) bird) Lesser Black-backed Gull- 1 (adult) Red-necked Grebe- 5 offshore (3 different encounters, with 2, 1, and 2 individuals) Horned Grebe- 3 offshore There was also a brief encounter with a very distant bird that was most probably a large Stercorarius, while we were enjoying the groups of Dovekies enveloping the boat ~60 miles out, but given its distance, and direction of flight, we weren't able to get anything approaching a reasonable view of it, and it disappeared into the horizon not to be seen by us again. This was a great confluence of excellent weather, cooperative (and many) birds, and, as usual, a great crew at the Captain Lou Fleet. Immense thanks to Paul and Anita Guris at Paulagics for putting this splendid day together. Good Birding! -Doug Gochfeld.

[nysbirds-l] Goshawk and Thrasher at Kissena Park (Queens, NYC)
I made it to Kissena Park this morning and it was slower than it was earlier this week. I saw none of the rarities I saw earlier. I did see an out of season Brown Thrasher reported by others. I saw an accipiter with juvenile color pattern, but close in size to an adult red-tailed hawk. I identified this as a Northern Goshawk. I spent some time at Kissena Corridor Park and the only birds I saw were pigeons, starlings, and house sparrows. -- Joseph O'Sullivan, Project Manager -- 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] Red-headed Woodpecker still present, Hauppauge (Suffolk)
The immature Red-headed Woodpecker, present since November 22nd in my neighbor’s yard (and sometimes my yard), was still there as of today. Since it arrived, it has been caching food in the various oak trees on adjacent properties. It almost never ventures below about 20 feet and I have never seen it at any of the feeders.
