[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay East Pond

2015-11-18 Thread syschiff
Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) birded the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife 
Refuge from Big Johns Pond. The WHITE PELICAN was at the very north end feeding 
with Mute Swans. From that vantage point a scope is a necessity. The Pelican is 
just a bit smaller than the swans and when facing away is virtually 
indistinguishable because of the distance.

There are lots of ducks on the pond. Besides the CANADA GEESE, and SWANS, there 
were BRANT, MALLARD, BLACK DUCK, GADWALL, AMERICAN WIDGEON, GREEN-WINGED TEAL, 
SHOVELER, PINTAIL, REDHEAD, LESSER and GREATER SCAUP, RUDDY DUCK and 
PIED-BILLED GREBE. Other birds included GREAT BLUE HERON, DOUBLE-CRESTED 
CORMORANT, NORTHERN HARRIER AND SHARP-SHINNED HAWK.

2 Long-billed Dowitchers just flew in calling and landed behind me on the south 
end of the East Pond. They are mixed in with 6 Dunlins.

The American White Pelican is still here loafing on the northern end.

[nysbirds-l] Train bird

2015-11-18 Thread Larry Trachtenberg
There's been virtually no waterfowl on river so far this fall but just now 
between Scarborough and Phillips Manor (just north of Tarrytown) there was 
winter plumaged horned grebe fairly close to shoreline. So riding south out of 
Ossining or from points north check the river
