[nysbirds-l] Huntington-Oyster Bay Audubon Monthly Program-The Fascinating World of Shorebirds
Please join Huntington-Oyster Bay Audubon for our (free) monthly nature program: Wednesday, June 10 at 7:30pm (refreshments at 7)The Fascinating World of Shorebirds with Lloyd SpitalnikCold Spring Harbor Library, Downstairs Meeting Room If you have ever watched a flock of shorebirds lift to the sky in a sudden flurry of wingbeats, plaintive cries echoing, you understand the emotional lure of these birds. Found throughout North America, shorebirds are very diverse and range from the 6” least sandpiper to the 24” long billed curlew. Extreme migrants, with habitat ranging from shorelines to grasslands to woodlands, shorebirds are hardy, champion world travelers. Tonight we will explore their fascinating world and the perils they face in an ever evolving world. Lloyd Spitalnik, a well known and accomplished photographer, land author of the book “Visions: Earth’s Elements in Bird and Nature Photography” lives and works in New York City and the surrounding area. His photographs have appeared in Audubon, Natural History, Birder's World, Wildbird, and Birding (ABA) magazines, as well as in The New York Times and New York Daily News. He also has images published in WWF Songbird calendars and various Audubon trail guides. Lloyd leads instructional photo tours in the New York City area and offers private lessons in both Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. He is sought after for his inspiring talks and slideshow presentations to both birding and photography clubs. Along with Don Riepe and Kevin Karlson, Lloyd organizes and conducts the Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival every August.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Sandhill Cranes (YES) at Nappeague State Park, East Hampton (Suffolk)
Joe Giunta, just called to report that 2 Sandhills Cranes were observed in the location described in Derek's e-mail below. Joe saw the birds on site and were last observed flying towards the highway (Route 27). He is not sure if they dropped in somewhere else in the area. Folks heading out there are encouraged to search nearby sites if not found at the original site they were found. Both positive and negative reports are encouraged.

[nysbirds-l] Fahnestock (Putnam County)
Yesterday morning I walked from the AT at Canopus Lake (parking on Rte. 301 about 1 mi. West of Taconic) to Beaver Pond on the Blue Trail which includes a stretch I maintain for NY/NJ Trail Conference, and combined the maintenance w Putnam County June breeding bird survey. Warblers included multiples of chestnut sided, prairie, yellow, redstart, black throated blue and ovenbird, the latter almost too numerous to count, also singles of worm eating, black throated green and Lo. waterthrush. Numerous Veery and wood thrush and a few hermit as well. Multiple rose breasted grosbeak, including one singing wide open beautifully backlit for at least five minutes, scarlet tanager, and pairs of great crested fly, kingbird and raven. At least 3 pileated WP. Misses were both cuckoo and ruffed grouse which definitely breeds off the blue trail. If you don't want to wait for fall migration several hours beginning early am at various Fahnestock spots may net 15 warbler species all on territory -- there's lots of excellent trails to walk/hike.
