[nysbirds-l] Bald Eagle, Hempstead Harbor & Sands Point (Nassau county)

2018-01-07 Thread GQ 
This morning, on my way in to the Sands Point Preserve, I stopped at Bar Beach 
(Port Washington, Nassau County). All of Hempstead Harbor was completely 
frozen. A Bald Eagle was sitting on the ice in the middle of the harbor, 
devouring what appeared to be a duck or gull.
Right about here: 40.822538, -73.650787

The Sands Point Preserve (Nassau) was very cold (10 degrees) and quiet. 
Snowfall was quite deep in some spots. Long Island Sound was frozen almost half 
way to Westchester County. Another Bald Eagle was far out over the sound, 
heading west. A Fox Sparrow and 3 Cedar Waxwing were around Hempstead House 
(western-most castle in the preserve). Also, 3 Horned Grebes on the sound.

Manhasset Bay in Port Washington was also completely frozen.

Cheers,

Glenn

Re: [nysbirds-l] Re] Greater White-fronted Goose - Alley Pond Park, Queens, No

2018-01-07 Thread Timothy Healy 
For what it’s worth, I checked out the Douglaston Park Golf Course since it was 
the closest grassy area on the map and I found tons of geese foraging there. I 
failed to relocate the White-front despite some intensive searching, though 
it’s probably still a good spot to check when the birds leave the pond. Always 
good to take note of which direction the flocks fly in, you might get lucky 
catching them at a feeding site.

Cheers!

[nysbirds-l] purple sandpiper. Accabonac Harbor, East Hampton

2018-01-07 Thread Bruce Horwith 
I figured it was cold and miserable enough that I would be rewarded for
putting in some birding time. There was 1 purple sandpiper on the
Gardiner's Bay side of Gerard Drive, along with a dozen dunlin, 1
black-bellied plover, and several sanderling. The bay has lots of
long-tailed ducks, and there were about 10 surf scoter close to shore.
Several red-tails and 1 harrier.

I couldn't find any unusual geese among the hundreds in the field east of
Beach Lane in Wainscot, but there is a flock of some 20 horned lark
present.

A very confiding snipe is feeding along the surprisingly unfrozen stream 
through the preserve, a short walk south of the Fillmore Street entrance. 

Cheers!

[nysbirds-l] King Eider, Jones Beach, Nassau

2018-01-07 Thread Timothy Healy 
The first year male King Eider continues with the flock of sea ducks at the 
West End jetty. No sign of the older male, but there was still lots of movement 
and if it’s still in the area it may reappear later. I would’ve sent this 
message out half an hour ago but my phone froze and shut down. Stay warm out 
there!

Cheers!
