[nysbirds-l] eBird.org Shared Location - Wellsville Municipal Airport

[Ben Cacace]

A marker was created for Wellsville Municipal Airport; Tarantine Field (ELZ)
in Allegany County. The hotspot should be available within 12 hours.

If you wish to merge your personal location with an existing hotspot here
are the steps:

— Sign into eBird.org
— Go to "My eBird" & select "Manage My Locations" in the right panel
— At the bottom of the screen click "Show All" to see all locations on one
page
— You can sort the list by clicking on any of the headers: Location,
Country, State/Province, County, Type* or # of Checklists
— Select your personal location (it will show a letter "P" under Type*) by
clicking "Edit" on the right side of the line
— Select the "Merge" button and you'll see all nearby hotspots as red icons
— Keep the checkmark for "Delete after merging" selected
— Click the icon that best fits your location
— ... now you'll see the hotspot description above the 'Merge' button along
with the # of checklists you'll be merging
— Click on the 'Merge' button
— Answer Yes to the 'Yes or No' query

All checklists for that personal location will be combined with the hotspot
with this process.

Oops! thanks for pointing that out. It was a wigeon not a teal. Sorry about
that!

I had a productive day at the Massapequa Preserve today. I saw 37 species 
(listed on ebird), the highlights being a late season phobe, a Lesser 
Black-backed Gull on Massapequa Lake resting on the southeast corner of the 
lake with a large flock of other gulls, and a male Eurasian Wigeon.


The Eurasian Wigeon was in a secluded part of the stream accessible only by a 
spur off the greenbelt trail about halfway between Merrick Road and Sunrise

RE: [nysbirds-l] Cackling Geese - Queens

[Steve Walter]

I've posted pictures at my web site http://stevewalternature.com . I haven't
studied the Cackling Goose complex to the extent that others have, but to me
these appear to be different subspecies.  One is clearly larger and longer
necked - even longer necked than most of the surrounding canadensis type
Canadas. I think it would be a Richardson's.  At a distance or without a
good look at the bill, it could be almost impossible to pick out. The
smaller one, detectable at a distance, will guide you to both. While in
photo range, the larger one slept with head tucked in. I only got a couple
of pictures of it, as the two swimming away together. The smaller one was
much more cooperative and I posted a close up. A pale ring on its neck is
clearly visible. 

 

Thanks Corey, for finding them and alerting me. Sadly, I had looked at the
flock of geese before he did, and whiffed. I knew I should have given Corey
a few minutes before I hit the road. I had to go back later. Hey, you know
me - I'm not that good a birder. And yet, Corey wants me to do his Christmas
Count.

 

Between Flushing Meadows visits, I went to Jamaica Bay. The 2 Long-billed
Dowtichers are still there, visible by scope across the pond from the
overlook past Big John's Pond. At least 2 Blue-winged Teal are still there -
at the south end. At least 8 Redheads, looking north from the overlook, but
I whiffed on red-headed wigeons. No sign of the pelicans while I was there
today, but I did previously see that they occasionally fly out to the bay.
I'm still flabbergasted by the numbers of American Coots. Was I at STA-5?
Good luck counting them, Eric.

[nysbirds-l] Eurasian Teal at the Massapequa Preserve

[Joseph O'Sullivan]

I had a productive day at the Massapequa Preserve today. I saw 37 species
(listed on ebird), the highlights being a late season phobe, a Lesser
Black-backed Gull on Massapequa Lake resting on the southeast corner of the
lake with a large flock of other gulls, and a male Eurasian Wigeon.

The Eurasian Wigeon was in a secluded part of the stream accessible only by
a spur off the greenbelt trail about halfway between Merrick Road and
Sunrise Highway.

time working on shared location suggestions.

New and renamed shared locations (hotspots) have been updated for the 62
county wiki pages. You can find a summary of the changes here with

RE: [nysbirds-l] Cackling Geese - Queens

[Steve Walter]

I've posted pictures at my web site http://stevewalternature.com . I haven't
studied the Cackling Goose complex to the extent that others have, but to me
these appear to be different subspecies.  One is clearly larger and longer
necked - even longer necked than most of the surrounding canadensis type
Canadas. I think it would be a Richardson's.  At a distance or without a
good look at the bill, it could be almost impossible to pick out. The
smaller one, detectable at a distance, will guide you to both. While in
photo range, the larger one slept with head tucked in. I only got a couple
of pictures of it, as the two swimming away together. The smaller one was
much more cooperative and I posted a close up. A pale ring on its neck is
clearly visible. 

 

Thanks Corey, for finding them and alerting me. Sadly, I had looked at the
flock of geese before he did, and whiffed. I knew I should have given Corey
a few minutes before I hit the road. I had to go back later. Hey, you know
me - I'm not that good a birder. And yet, Corey wants me to do his Christmas
Count.

 

Between Flushing Meadows visits, I went to Jamaica Bay. The 2 Long-billed
Dowtichers are still there, visible by scope across the pond from the
overlook past Big John's Pond. At least 2 Blue-winged Teal are still there -
at the south end. At least 8 Redheads, looking north from the overlook, but
I whiffed on red-headed wigeons. No sign of the pelicans while I was there
today, but I did previously see that they occasionally fly out to the bay.
I'm still flabbergasted by the numbers of American Coots. Was I at STA-5?
Good luck counting them, Eric.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Eurasian Teal at the Massapequa Preserve

[Joseph O'Sullivan]

Oops! thanks for pointing that out. It was a wigeon not a teal. Sorry about
that!

[nysbirds-l] Eurasian Teal at the Massapequa Preserve

[Joseph O'Sullivan]

I had a productive day at the Massapequa Preserve today. I saw 37 species
(listed on ebird), the highlights being a late season phobe, a Lesser
Black-backed Gull on Massapequa Lake resting on the southeast corner of the
lake with a large flock of other gulls, and a male Eurasian Wigeon.

The Eurasian Wigeon was in a secluded part of the stream accessible only by
a spur off the greenbelt trail about halfway between Merrick Road and
Sunrise Highway.

A marker was created for Wellsville Municipal Airport; Tarantine Field (ELZ)

If you wish to merge your personal location with an existing hotspot here
are the steps:

— Go to "My eBird" & select "Manage My Locations" in the right panel
— At the bottom of the screen click "Show All" to see all locations on one
page
— You can sort the list by clicking on any of the headers: Location,
Country, State/Province, County, Type* or # of Checklists
— Select your personal location (it will show a letter "P" under Type*) by
clicking "Edit" on the right side of the line
— Select the "Merge" button and you'll see all nearby hotspots as red icons
— Keep the checkmark for "Delete after merging" selected
— Click the icon that best fits your location
— ... now you'll see the hotspot description above the 'Merge' button along
with the # of checklists you'll be merging
— Click on the 'Merge' button
— Answer Yes to the 'Yes or No' query

All checklists for that personal location will be combined with the hotspot
