RE: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point

[Carole Griffiths]

Common Redpolls seen this morning in the birch trees just below the turnoff - 
around 9 am.  Posted on ebird.  There were five eagles in one tree just above 
the bridge.  And horned grebe, redheads, common mergansers, buffle heads and 
the other usual ducks (including the pair of mallards displaying and mating).

Subject: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point

A birthday walk in Croton Point Park before the snow today revealed a dearth of 
Bald Eagles. We had 9 sightings of eagles, mostly distant. (Only 9! I know, 
we're getting spoiled.) A male Norther Harrier was bouncing over the hill. A 
Merlin nicely perched near the Point. A single Red-tailed hawk. No Common 
Redpoll. Cold and bitter with the damp wind, with ice everywhere except around 
the Point itself. I was expecting to see some eagles on the train ride up the 
Croton-Harmon and then back to NYC, but only one each way.



A good day for a flask of whisky, for reinforcements.

[nysbirds-l] Gyr falcon

[Larry Trachtenberg]

I have learned the falcon was seen both Friday and again today (not sure about 
Thursday) but is not being posted on NYS birds --apparently on Facebook only.  
As an anachronism who has never joined Facebook (and perhaps I'm not alone) a

[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Pelagic Scheduled for Sat, April 11

[Paul Guris]

For our inaugural trip out of Brooklyn, we have scheduled an experimental
trip for Saturday, April 11.  This is a time of year with very poor pelagic
coverage in our area, but we have chosen the date to coincide with the
large northbound migration of gulls, Gannets, loons, waterfowl, and
baitfish that typically occur at this time of year.

Target birds we hope to see include Northern Fulmar, Great, Manx, and Sooty
Shearwaters, Red Phalarope, Northern Gannet, Pomarine Jaeger, Black-legged
Kittiwake, and perhaps lingering alcids which at this time may already be
in breeding plumage.  Our real hope, and it's definitely a hope, is that we
might find something rare like a Great Skua or even an albatross moving
with this push of birds and bait.  With schools of bait moving, it's also a
good time to look for cetaceans like Fin, Humpback, and Minke Whales, as
well as Common and Atlantic White-sided Dolphin.

The trip details are:

   - Leave:  6:00 AM
   - Return:  Approx 6:00 PM
   - Cost:  $175
   - Boat:  Brooklyn VI, Pier #6, 2200 Emmons Ave, Brooklyn, NY
   - Public Transportation: Q Line, Sheepshead Bay Station (approx 0.7
   miles away)
   - We can arrange to shuttle people from the station to the dock with
   their gear.


We're very excited about working with the Brookly VI.  The boat is a fast,
stable platform.  It is 110' long, 26' wide, has a maximum speed of 27
knots, and is licensed for 132 passengers.  A full trip for us is normally
40-50 so that means plenty of room.  For those who have sailed with us
aboard the Starstream out of Freeport, this is essentially the same hull
except that it is a bit longer and a little wider.  There is a full galley
aboard and a regular cook so real food will be available.  We visited the
boat and spoke with the captains and crew this winter.  They are friendly,
professional, and are VERY interested in running pelagic birding trips with
us.

For more information or to sign up, email us at i...@paulagics.com or call
215-234-6805.  Hope to see you aboard!

[nysbirds-l] Massapequa Preserve: Snow Goose, Wood Duck etc, signs of Spring

[Robert Taylor]

Hi Everyone,

I stopped at Massapequa Preserve to check out the previously reported
possible hybrid Ross/ Snow Goose.  I don't see anything indicating a hybrid
- looks like a Snow Goose to me - in any event it was very vocal with the
Canada Geese - it was at the Pittsburgh Ave Pond and the stream south of
Clark St.  Also in the stream, but North of Clark St was a continuing male
Wood Duck.  Other waterfowl included Pintail, Bufflehead, Ruddy, Black
Duck, Coots and Mallards - many walking on the ice giving good photo ops.

At my house (2 blocks from the preserve) Cardinals and Song Sparrows were
singing.

Good birding,
Rob in Massapequa

[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Pelagic Scheduled for Sat, April 11

[Paul Guris]

For our inaugural trip out of Brooklyn, we have scheduled an experimental
trip for Saturday, April 11.  This is a time of year with very poor pelagic
coverage in our area, but we have chosen the date to coincide with the
large northbound migration of gulls, Gannets, loons, waterfowl, and
baitfish that typically occur at this time of year.

Target birds we hope to see include Northern Fulmar, Great, Manx, and Sooty
Shearwaters, Red Phalarope, Northern Gannet, Pomarine Jaeger, Black-legged
Kittiwake, and perhaps lingering alcids which at this time may already be
in breeding plumage.  Our real hope, and it's definitely a hope, is that we
might find something rare like a Great Skua or even an albatross moving
with this push of birds and bait.  With schools of bait moving, it's also a
good time to look for cetaceans like Fin, Humpback, and Minke Whales, as
well as Common and Atlantic White-sided Dolphin.

The trip details are:

   - Leave:  6:00 AM
   - Return:  Approx 6:00 PM
   - Cost:  $175
   - Boat:  Brooklyn VI, Pier #6, 2200 Emmons Ave, Brooklyn, NY
   - Public Transportation: Q Line, Sheepshead Bay Station (approx 0.7
   miles away)
   - We can arrange to shuttle people from the station to the dock with
   their gear.


We're very excited about working with the Brookly VI.  The boat is a fast,
stable platform.  It is 110' long, 26' wide, has a maximum speed of 27
knots, and is licensed for 132 passengers.  A full trip for us is normally
40-50 so that means plenty of room.  For those who have sailed with us
aboard the Starstream out of Freeport, this is essentially the same hull
except that it is a bit longer and a little wider.  There is a full galley
aboard and a regular cook so real food will be available.  We visited the
boat and spoke with the captains and crew this winter.  They are friendly,
professional, and are VERY interested in running pelagic birding trips with
us.

For more information or to sign up, email us at i...@paulagics.com or call
215-234-6805.  Hope to see you aboard!
