[nysbirds-l] KING RAIL at Timber Point golf course (Suffolk County)
This morning, just after 8:00am, I found a KING RAIL foraging on the course, on either side of the road down to the east marina (40.7193010, -73.1428022). The encounter only lasted a few minutes, and despite a few reasonably prompt texts, nobody who arrived shortly thereafter had success refinding the bird. But I just received word that the bird recently showed again, so anyone inclined to try for it should get down to Timber Point ASAP. Good luck if you go.

[nysbirds-l] PACIFIC LOON at Bayard Cutting Arboretum (Suffolk County)
Early this afternoon (~1:15) I found a PACIFIC LOON on the Connetquot River off Bayard Cutting Arboretum (a Red-throated Loon as well). Unfortunately it moved fairly quickly downriver over the next few minutes and was soon out of sight. I got word out ASAP via direct text and to Bird Finders via WhatsApp, but AFAIK there were no conclusive sightings subsequently by other birders who arrived on the scene. The arboretum doesn’t open until 9:00am tomorrow, but there are multiple points of access to the river farther south along Great River Road (3 small town parks), and at Timber Point golf course.

[nysbirds-l] TOWNSEND’S WARBLER! Nassau County.
Just covering the listserv base for anyone who hasn’t heard already about this bird via other branches of the birding grapevine. Late this afternoon I found a TOWNSEND’S WARBLER while participating in the the Southern Nassau CBC. The bird was mostly favoring pines on the perimeter of the northeast section of Philip B. Healey Beach, but eventually flew across Florence Ave. and was last seen in a lone pine on the south side of the park entrance (40.6519604, -73.4850004) as the sun set. The bird was very active but could easily disappear from view for minutes at a time. Thankfully it was also fairly vocal, it’s calls giving away it’s continued presence. The call note was similar to that of Black-throated Green Warbler, but we’re higher pitched and ‘sharper’. Good luck if you go!

[nysbirds-l] Robert Moses SP (Suffolk) sea watch
A 75 minute (7:15-8:30) sea watch at Robert Moses State Park (from the dune crossing closest to the golf course) produced a nice showing of 46 Wilson’s Storm Petrels moving e-w, some fairly close to shore. Also seen was a single Parasitic Jaeger that harassed a Least Tern into giving up its catch, which the jaeger appeared to retrieve from the water. It then flew back back to the west. No shearwaters were seen.

[nysbirds-l] Robert Moses SP (Suffolk) sea watch
A 75 minute (7:15-8:30) sea watch at Robert Moses State Park (from the dune crossing closest to the golf course) produced a nice showing of 46 Wilson’s Storm Petrels moving e-w, some fairly close to shore. Also seen was a single Parasitic Jaeger that harassed a Least Tern into giving up its catch, which the jaeger appeared to retrieve from the water. It then flew back back to the west. No shearwaters were seen.

[nysbirds-l] Interesting raptor, Ulster County
While perusing the eBird Rarities photo gallery on my lunch break, I came across two images of a raptor seen yesterday (4/7) in Ulster County: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S54719551 Identified by the observer as a Northern Goshawk, the bird is clearly not an accipiter but a buteoine hawk. It does not appear to be one of the resident or migrant species expected here in NY though. What is it then? I think the facial pattern in particular makes immature Gray Hawk (GRHA) a possible candidate. But I’d be really interested in what other birders with more knowledge of neotropical buteos think as I have only limited field experience with that group, although that includes encounters with immature GRHAs (TX 2003, AZ 2018). https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S47684324 With the Maine Great Black Hawk still a fresh memory and Zone-tailed Hawk(s) also seen in the northeast within the past few years, Gray Hawk is no longer an outlandish thought. Whatever the Ulster bird is, it could still be somewhere in the state, so keep your eyes to the skies.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Thick-billed Murre in Brooklyn Now
I’m seriously considering paying the $95 for a 10-hour codfish trip aboard the Laura Lee Express out of Captree. Half the price of a See Life trip. Two trips each weekend through the end of March. Much more convenient for Suffolk birders than Brooklyn. If memory serves from past cod trips (before birding became my passtime of choice), chum (clam chunks) is employed.

There were two different Brown Boobies on Long Island just last year: Nickerson Beach (Nassau Co., June) and Lake Montauk (Suffolk Co., October) - neither apparently storm related.

The two Caspian Terns found by Chris Gangemi two days ago continue on the Carmans River. They put on a great show late this afternoon between the boat launch and lower part of the river, one bird catching a large fish which it eventually managed to swallow after flying around with it for a couple minutes, half the fish hanging out of its bill. There was a different kind of swallow spectacle going on as well, with 5 species of swallow (Barn, Tree, Rough-winged, Bank and Purple Martin, in order of abundance, high to low), foraging their way up and downstream.

[nysbirds-l] Caspian Terns, Southaven County Park (Suffolk) - YES
The two Caspian Terns found by Chris Gangemi two days ago continue on the Carmans River. They put on a great show late this afternoon between the boat launch and lower part of the river, one bird catching a large fish which it eventually managed to swallow after flying around with it for a couple minutes, half the fish hanging out of its bill.

[nysbirds-l] 3 Bald Eagles on Connetquot River (Suffolk Co.)
This afternoon, while covering my territory for the NYSOA January Waterfowl Count, I found 3 immature Bald Eagles perched in close proximity within the closed Paradise Island natural area of Bayard Cutting Arboretum. My vantage point was across the river (east side) at the intersection of Connetquot and Chateau drives in Oakdale (40.7439116,-73.1476513). Distance (~300 yards) and poor lighting made aging them impossible, but possibly siblings fledged from a nearby nesting. Three Bald Eagles in one spot may not be a big deal elsewhere in the state, but this is a first for me on Long Island in 24 years of birding, so somewhat noteworthy. P.S. The adult male Eurasian Wigeon was still present on Mill Pond in Sayville.

Re:[nysbirds-l] V. Rails released in Central Park, NYC (11/21 etc.)
One can't help but wonder whether there are better places than Central Park to release a rehabbed marsh species like Virginia Rail. Someplace with a greater amount of appropriate habitat, and more importantly on the perimeter of Manhattan, providing a better escape route from the island than through the canyons of high-rise buildings surrounding Central Park. Someplace like Inwood Hill Park or Randall's Island perhaps. Are there any regulatory constraints on the rehab facility mentioned which require them to release all their outpatients into Central Park?

Pat Lindsay, Pete Morris and I just had a BROWN PELICAN fly past the concession building at parking field 2 at Robert Moses. It was well out over the ocean and high, heading east to west. When last seen it was dropping a bit and angling toward shore somewhere between Fire Island to Cedar Beach. If birding along the south shore today it might pay to keep your eyes open for it.

[nysbirds-l] YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER at Bayard Cutting Arboretum -YES
One singing male, heard and seen within 100 yards east of the parking lot. Ranged around a fair amount, at one point flying west to the other side of the park entrance road. Favored the up reaches of the various trees I saw it in (Sycamore, Red Oak, E. White Pine, Douglas Fir), so poor views. Has gone silent now. No apparent activity at previous known location (Ye Olde Pump House).

[nysbirds-l] Oak Beach (Suffolk Co.): Eared Grebe and Barrow's Goldeneye - YES
Saw the continuing female Barrow's Goldeneye this morning from the small parking toward the western end of Oak Beach Road. Later, in a quest for a closer look at the bird with better lighting, I went to Overlook Beach and hiked east to the Sore Thumb (Fire Island inlet). The views of the Barrow's were not significantly closer from this vantage point, but the angle of light was much better - the bird's all orange-yellow bill really shone. But what really made the 2.5 mile round trip hike worth it was refinding the EARED GREBE found last weekend but apparently not seen since then (2/19). It was tucked into the NW corner of the cove, close to the private docks there, and likely wouldn't be detectable from the Oak Beach parking lot mentioned earlier. Excellent views were enjoyed from as close as 25 yards.
