[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay East Pond
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. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] LBDO @ Jamaica Bay Queens County
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
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 L.
