This was previously sent out by Patricia Lindsay for those who missed it:
"The deceased Brown Booby from Nickerson Beach, Nassau Co. will become part of 
the Cornell Lab collection, with all permits in place."

Re: [nysbirds-l] Death on the Beach

[Michael Schrimpf]

Hi all,

Just to follow up - the link to the paper by Haman et al. is here

(including
the abstract). I think the full text is behind a paywall for most, but send
me an email if you would like a pdf.

The authors have some evidence that on at least one occasion a wreck of
Great Shearwaters may have been caused by poor food conditions in the South
Atlantic, during their molting period prior to migration. These birds make
the crossing of the low-productivity Tropics quite quickly, and travel past
Long Island just before arriving at their "early winter" feeding grounds
off of Massachusetts. It's possible that poor conditions somewhere very
distant would cause them to start the journey without full reserves. We are
only beginning to learn the details of the migration patterns in a lot of
seabirds, and there are still plenty of unanswered questions in the field.

I'm eagerly awaiting the results of the necropsies being performed on the
collected specimens.

[nysbirds-l] Red Crossbills in the Adirondacks!

[Joan Collins]

June 20, 2017 We found a Red Crossbill calling and flying around Sabattis
Bog today!  (Long Lake in Hamilton Co.)

June 17, 2017 We found a pair of Red Crossbills on the Madawaska Trail
(Santa Clara in Franklin Co.)  The male was singing!  I took a couple photos
of the male and I'll post to my Facebook page later this week.

June 3, 2017 We found a calling Red Crossbill flying over Oregon Plains Road
in Bloomingdale (Franklin Co.)  (I posted this on 6/6/17)

 

It looks like Red Crossbills will likely nest this summer in the
Adirondacks.  (This seems to be their pattern and it is usually followed by
winter nesting in the same locations).  Cone crops are excellent on all
coniferous trees that I've observed (I still need to look at Hemlock).

 

I'll post more sightings later this week.

[nysbirds-l] Death on the Beach

[Shaibal Mitra]

I spent several hours at Democrat Pt today, carefully checking the entire wrack 
line, and found 14 dead Great Shearwaters and a dead Leatherback Turtle (the 
folks in Riverhead have been notified). 

http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S37704445

I also just heard through Derek Rogers that dead Great Shearwaters have been 
found on the beach at Montauk. 

To me, the simultaneous deaths of these shearwaters, along with the Brown Booby 
and the Leatherback Turtle, seem more than a coincidence and are suggestive of 
something wrong out there in the blue water, probably relating to food. 

At this point, it seems that the weather pattern described by David Nicosia 
probably played a role in concentrating these animals in our area, but would 
not in itself have caused their distress. Andrew Farnsworth has described major 
sea surface temperature anomalies in the Atlantic; this sort of thing could 
have big impacts on marine food webs, and it is possible that the birds 
encountered food shortages over larger areas and longer periods than they could 
tolerate. Finally, Michael Schrimpf alerted us to a paper describing 12 mass 
mortality events involving Great Shearwaters on the US Atlantic Coast (GREAT 
SHEARWATER (PUFFINUS GRAVIS) MORTALITY EVENTS ALONG THE EASTERN COAST OF THE 
UNITED STATES. Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 49(2), 2013, pp. 235–245 # 
Wildlife Disease Association 2013. Katherine H. Haman,1,2 Terry M. Norton,2 
Robert A. Ronconi,3 Nicole M. Nemeth,1 Austen C. Thomas,4 Sarah J. Courchesne,5 
Al Segars,6 and M. Kevin Keel7,8).
I haven't read this yet, but a quick scan reveals not only that many GRSH 
involved in strandings were emaciated, but also that in some cases they had 
swallowed plastic. 

We await further data on the scale of the wreck, and on the condition of the 
specimens that have been salvaged.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Brown Booby is deceased

[Gabriel Willow]

There were also several deceased Great Shearwaters on the beach at Nickerson. I 
considered grabbing some for you, but was taking public transit and decided 
against traveling on the LIRR with a smelly shearwater corpse in a bag. Might 
raise questions...

You should make little self-addressed bird body bags to pass around, then I 
could've just popped it in the mail.

[nysbirds-l] Dickcissels increased?

[Thomas Fiore]

It’s a species I thought to bring up, although not just in relation to the 
several Dickcissel reports of recent weeks from NY state. A current post to the 
NJ-Birds list (by Mike Britt) also further inspires the subject of this post.  
It appears, more than entirely anecdotally, although in part with much 
anecdotal evidence, that there may be a surge in Dickcissel sightings, 
particularly this month, in multiple states across - at least[!] - the 
mid-Atlantic & midwestern regions of the U.S., & perhaps further into N. 
America.   If nothing else a species to be watched and listened for, in any 
potential bit of likely habitat.  

With singing males, the species is not going to be that difficult to detect, of 
course.  It may require a bit more doing to determine if there are a pair (or 
more) involved in any given location[s].  It’s possible that the 
higher-than-usual number of reports from a number of states will turn out to be 
an anomaly, that is not instructive of any longer-term change in the 
breeding-range distribution of the species.  But keeping eyes & ears out for 
this, & of course looking to see what the  fall migration brings, will be of 
interest for this particular passerine.It also will be understandable if 
folks in some locations may not wish to report in all forums on potential 
breeders, for reasons that are sort of obvious, but could in some areas be in 
the best interests of the birds, and perhaps also as regards private or 
restricted-access properties in some instances.

Good -and ethical- birding,
