[nysbirds-l] Goose & Gull kept day from being dull !

[robert adamo]

Late start on Sunday had me leaving the house at 1500, and upon arriving at
the n/s Northville Tpke, between Doctor's Path & Rt. 105, Riverhead ~ 1510,
I found Rich Gostic scoping a large, spread-out flock of Canadas - it was
nice to match a name with a face ! He hadn't found anything unusual up to
that point, and and after a short while, I decided to get another angle on
the flock, from the c/o N'ville Tpke. and Rt.105. The new perspective
didn't help my quest, so I returned to the original location. Rich was gone
by then, but in his place were 4 "weos"...who were looking at a Pink-footed
Goose ! Before long, they got me on the bird, and after some pleasantries,
were off to the Calverton Grasslands to hopefully finish up the day finding
1, or possibly 2, Short-eared Owls. Making up the 4 "Weos", were Bob
Proniewych, Ed Brecher, Bob Anderson, and Stan, whose surname escapes
me...sorry !

In case you have never heard the term, "Weo" refers to anyone who was not
born an "eastender" (Township of Riverhead, east to the end of both forks).
I, myself, arriving in Wading River (from Seaford) in 1968, was dubbed a
"Weo" by my new, fellow workmates, after transferring work stations (from
Roslyn to Riverhead)...and am still thought of as such - 47 years just
doesn't cut it

Heading east, I first tried for the Yellow-headed Blackbird, found by Ken &
Sue Feustel awhile back, without success. I then headed for Iron Pier
Beach, Jamesport to look for the Iceland Gull, which had been reported
previously from that location - happily, I can tell you it still is !

Cheers,
Bob
P.S...I wonder if Rich saw the Pink-fotted

[nysbirds-l] Bald Eagle in Brooklyn's Green-Wood

[Matthew Wills]

An adult Bald Eagle was flying low over and perching in Green-Wood this 
afternoon. At one point, it broke the high branch it was on, sending the wood 
plummeting as it flapped away. Two other birders I ran into saw it leave the 
cemetery in a northwesterly direction. Band visible on one foot, but not 
readable. Pictures tomorrow on my blog.

I also twice saw a Peregrine buzz the Monk Parakeet nest on the 5th Avenue 
gate.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Mew Gull -- NO

[Angus Wilson]

Spent a couple of hours searching the relevant spots this morning, including 
Coney Island Creek, without success.

As Doug Gochfeld mentioned yesterday, the Brooklyn coast and parks are a major 
wintering area for Ring-billed Gulls and there are numerous alternative spots 
that should be checked in case the bird has simply changed its preferred 
loafing or feeding sites.

[nysbirds-l] Delaware County Golden Eagle Survey 7 February

[Thomas Salo]

I am trying to fill in a few remaining territories in SE Delaware County 
- the area between Roxbury and Andes- for the 7 February survey. I could 
use some skilled birders as help. I am especially in need of a couple of 
people who can ID eagle species from great distances by silhouette. In 
other words, hawk counter quality skills.


The poor visibility date is 8 February.

Details at http://doas.us/feb-7-golden-eagle-count/

Steve Walter - please contact me. Your emails are bouncing.
