RE: [nysbirds-l] Bairds Brooklyn - missing mid-day (high tide)
I don't know what the tides were the last few days this bird was seen, but several people, unfortunately including myself, unsuccessfully searched the entire length of the beach for this bird for several hours mid-afternoon around high tide. The bird was viewed (of course, by many others) both before and after this tidal period. I would suggest to anyone searching for this bird in the next few days, to review the tide charts to avoid high tide. However, during this high tide period, the shoreline held a good number of shorebirds, including one Pectoral Sandpiper.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Bairds Brooklyn Yes
Haven't seen anyone posting to the listserv about it but the Baird's continued to be reported at Plumb all day today on Twitter and eBird. I just saw it at 7:30 pm on the flats, midway to the eastern end.

[nysbirds-l] Yonkers Raven
New York Birders, On 8/4, at 8:23AM, I observed a RAVEN on the ground in the Yonkers Raceway lot, off Yonkers Ave. I've been doing a Westchester route (I drive a truck) for the past two weeks and this is the first one I've observed. I suppose it could be from Co-op City (do they continue to breed there?) or even Bergen County, NJ? I don't know much about their occurrence in NYC and the surrounding urban jungles, on this side of the river. I wish I had time to see if the Fish Crows that nest in the light stations gave it a proper escort...

[nysbirds-l] More on Possible Shorebird Migration new few days
I received an email from Doug Gochfield who made a great comment that shorebirds often will overfly the region on favorable winds. So the northwest winds of the next couple days likely will send many birds overhead. However, there is an unusual storm (for August) projected to move into North Carolina by Thursday night which will spread rain east and northeast to NJ and LI. This occurs as the northwest winds aloft weaken, but maybe this will prevent overflight and ground migrants for the upcoming weekend especially for LI. It will be interesting to see if this pans out and I look forward to seeing the LI contingent of birder's reports this weekend!

[nysbirds-l] Winds Aloft next couple days - more shorebirds to arrive???
Looking at the wind forecasts Today through Thursday, winds will be from northwest up through 15000 feet. The wind trajectories are coming from around Hudson Bay. Hopefully this will lure some staging shorebirds south to NY state! The next couple days could see increased numbers and new specie arrivals. After Thursday the winds are not as favorable so whatever comes down could stick around. Possible species (some of which have been seen in the state already)- more BB Plovers, american golden-plovers, am avocets? marbled godwit? Am White Pelican?? Baird's sandpipers, more phalaropes?? more sanderlings, RUTUs. These are just some possibilities off the top of my head. Good birding to all!
