[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach, Jamaica Bay,Huntington etc. Snowy Owl, Snow Geese, Canvasbacks
Hi Everyone, Today I birded from sunrise to sunset: Jones Beach, Point Lookout, Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, St John's Pond in Cold Spring Harbor, Huntington Harbor, Centerport, Lloyd Harbor, Caumsett St Park, Target Rock National Wildlife Refuge and a few other nearby locations. Although a lot of places were eerily silent, I saw 47+ species - highlights were: Snowy Owl at Green Island in Wantagh, (gave him plenty of space) ~12 Common Eiders, ~6 Black Bellied Plovers at Point Lookout Town Park by the jetties 8 Snow Geese at Jamaica Bay East Pond (was told a huge flock took off right before I arrived), 6 Canvasbacks in Centerport Pond, Common and Red Throated Loons at Target Rock Wildlife Refuge. (also saw 4 seals up on the rocks) Good birding - I will post pics to my blog in the next several days, Rob in Massapequa http://longislandbirding.blogspot.com/ -- 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] Jones Beach / Jamaica Bay
Had a few hours to spare in the middle of the day. Jones Beach West-End produced 5 HARLEQUIN DUCKS (1 male), a single RAZORBILL, a RED-NECKED GREBE and good numbers of Red-throated Loons. The only migrants were 6 Killdeer on the road-divide and a single TREE SWALLOW near the Fishermen's Trail. Not much at Jamaica Bay West Pond - a RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET (an overwintering bird that I've seen there before) and notably fewer ducks on the West Pond in general. A quick stop at Floyd Bennet produced 35 Horned Larks on the cricket field. Counting down to migration . -- 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/ --
