Stormy but quiet at the Point. At Deep Hollow (south pasture) there was a single Pectoral Sandpiper and Lesser Yellowlegs. Also, among the Canada Geese was a 'giant' goose, its head/neck plumage exhibited characteristics of a domestic type and a Canada. It had dull orangish legs and was taller and larger than its compatriots. -- 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] Gilgo: Gyrfalcon
Having arrived at about 10am, I was told that just 10 minutes before the bird was seen departing the Osprey nest platform west of the Gilgo Parking Lot (yesterday's location) heading north and possibly east. I, along with a number of other observers remained at the location searching to no avail for several hours. At about 1;30 a birder showed up saying that the bird was perched on an Osprey Nest Platform about a mile west of the Cedar Beach Parking Lot. Several of the group headed east to seek our fortune. We parked on the north verge of the highway and hoped the police would not show up, as it is a ticketable offense. The Gyrfalcon was perched on a cross-beam of the platform facing north and preening. This was a distant but definitive observation. I left at about 2:00 with the bird still perched. If you don't want to risk a ticket, park at Cedar Beach and walk west. Good luck to all. -- 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] Montauk area: 7 February
A pre-storm visit at midday today. As expected the Point was quiet, Common Eider and all three Scoters in low numbers (50-150), no Gannets, few Common Loons, even fewer Red-throated, a few Horned Grebes, and 4 Razorbills. At Lake Montauk from South Lake Drive I was able to relocate both BARROW'S GOLDENEYE (drake and hen) which have been present since 2 January. They were in the southwest corner of the "Lake" associating with a small flock of Common Goldeneye. At the end of West Lake Drive at the base of the jetty ere the two Iceland Gulls (adult and 1st year) that been frequenting the beach for quite a while. That's about it. Hopefully tomorrow morning will be more interesting at the Point after a night of east winds. -- 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] Snowy Owl: nr Verrazano Bridge
A friend sent me a link to an article in the Sheepshead Bay news blog regarding a Snowy Owl: "These were taken by a friend of mine, who also is an avid fisherman in the area. He was fishing just next to Hoffman Island, which is one of the two islands, just south of the Verranzano [sic] Bridge at the entrance of New York Harbor He had his camera with him and was most fortunate to get these magnificent pictures of what I believe to be a Snowy Owl."
