[nysbirds-l] Central Park NYC Thursday August Augst 20th
Central Park, NYC Thursday August 20th OBS: Deborah Allen Inspired by tweets from Adrianb, I decided to check out the Reservoir late this afternoon. The flock of 21Gadwall reported was still around, but I couldn't relocate the Northern Shoveler. The number of Ring-billed Gulls had increased to at least 200, with many Herring and Great Black-backed Gulls and Double-crested Cormorants around too. Most of the gulls were resting on the dike, including at least eight Laughing Gulls. All of the Laughing Gulls appeared to be molting and none had a solid black head. The Laughing Gulls were best viewed from the south side of the Reservoir near the gate house. A good 3/4 of the gulls took off just a bit before 4pm as is usually the case. Also quite close to the south gate house was a single juvenile Spotted Sandpiper. On the way out, I checked the mudflats at the 59th Street Pond hoping for another Spotted Sandpiper, finding only a Northern Waterthrush and some House Finches.

[nysbirds-l] Montezuma NWR -- Juv Snowy Egret (?)
Birding from the Wildlife Drive late this afternoon HJ Kim pointed out a smaller egret preening on the grassy area that was once the bottom of the currently drained main pool. I know there's a lot of overlap between juvenile Snowies and Little Blues, neither of which should be here. I'm leaning Snowy because the birds legs were black in front and yellowish in back (the feet were coated in thick black mud).

It had wandered away from Big John's and was found on the opposite side of Cross Bay Blvd, near a florist in Broad Channel (south of the Visitor's Center). It was asleep when found, so the capture was easy. The guy who answered the phone was not on duty yesterday and could not provide any details on what NPS planned to do with it.

Re: [nysbirds-l] 8/20: Kinkajou update (Jamaica Bay WR, Queens County)
Hello All, Since interest continues, following is a link to pictures taken by NPS Officer at the scene of the capture. I'm glad its been captured. Very charismatic. César CapturedKink3 CapturedKink2CapturedKink1 Una tarde la princesa vio una estrella aparecer; la princesa era traviesa y la quiso ir a coger. La quería para hacerla decorar un prendedor, con un verso y una perla, una pluma y una flor. A princesas primorosas se parecen mucho a ti; cortan lirios, cortan rosas, cortan astros. Son así. -A Margarita Debayle (To Margarita Debayle) by Ruben Dario | | | | | | | | | | | CapturedKink1 | | | | View on www.flickr.com | Preview by Yahoo | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CapturedKink2 | | | | View on www.flickr.com | Preview by Yahoo | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CapturedKink3 | | | | View on www.flickr.com | Preview by Yahoo | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CapturedKink3 | | | | View on www.flickr.com | Preview by Yahoo | | | | | On Thursday, August 20, 2015 11:22 AM, Karen Fung easternblueb...@gmail.com wrote: I called the Visitors Center this morning and was told that the kinkajou was captured by NPS yesterday (Wednesday).

[nysbirds-l] Montezuma NWR -- Juv Snowy Egret (?)
Birding from the Wildlife Drive late this afternoon HJ Kim pointed out a smaller egret preening on the grassy area that was once the bottom of the currently drained main pool. I know there's a lot of overlap between juvenile Snowies and Little Blues, neither of which should be here. I'm leaning Snowy because the birds legs were black in front and yellowish in back (the feet were coated in thick black mud). It's my understanding that any black on the legs is diagnostic for Snowy, but then again the InterWebs have been known to lie. Link to pics below.
