Re: [nysbirds-l] Heckscher SP, Suffolk County

[Mike]

My apologies to Arie for responding publicly.  My phone bundles people together 
in ways I don’t understand. 
I know we are on the same page as far as our concern for the birds and abiding 
by the ABA guidelines.   And I agree that splitting off to another notification 
group is not a great solution.   
We probably differ most in our faith in our fellow man- I’ve been in situations 
now where I’ve had to shame people into not chasing a bird over and over, some 
will stop and some won’t. I hope Arie is right and we can help people 
understand where we’re coming from.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Heckscher SP, Suffolk County

[Mike]

If reporting them means the birds are under constant harassment then yes, they 
shouldn’t get reported.  Guidelines like those promoted by the ABA should mean 
something. 
Or they can get reported to groups that can have some control over their 
memberships.  This is in no way a criticism of the Listserve, just recognition 
of the fact that the Listserve can be viewed by anyone, whether they subscribe 
or not.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Heckscher SP, Suffolk County

[Mike]

I no longer post any birds at this and other locations where I see 
photographers.  I keep a group list of contacts and limit my postings to them. 
I’m sure I’m unintentionally leaving people out, and I’ve been throwing the 
idea of a WhatsApp group around with a few other birders.  There’s currently a 
256 member limit on a group, but there are ways around that if we some day 
exceeded that.  
The photography stuff is out of control and I won’t contribute to a public 
group any sightings of birds that are in chaseable locations.

[nysbirds-l] Heckscher SP, Suffolk County

[Patricia Lindsay]

  Yesterday I was alerted to six juvenile Pectoral Sandpipers and two 
Dunlin among the birds visiting the Heckscher puddles. When I arrived, 
several people with cameras were out of their cars attempting to get 
photos or get closer looks. These folks were approaching cautiously and 
slowly, and while the birds did not immediately flush, they were 
obviously hyper-alert, interfering with their ability to feed, rest and 
preen in peace.

I was curious about the age of the Dunlins, as they were in a 
transitional plumage I suspected to be molting juvs. So I returned to 
the site this morning, where I was very upset to see, not for the first 
time, photographers in two cars and a truck positioned RIGHT IN THE 
PUDDLE, practically on top of and surrounding the birds. I decided this 
would not be a pleasant study and left.

I can no longer remain silent on this issue. Folks, where is your common 
sense, courtesy, and decency? Give these birds a chance! Is your photo 
more important than the well-being of these migrating birds? Give other 
birds who may be avoiding this disruption a chance to land and feed or 
rest as well.  And give other birders a chance to see them! Another 
birder, scoping the birds from great distance, through gaps among the 
closely gathered vehicles, was completely blocked when  the truck, 
already on top of the birds, was re-positioned to be EVEN CLOSER to the 
birds.

PLEASE - Stay in your cars! Or scope from a distance.
PLEASE - Stay out of the main puddles. Especially do not drive up 
near/onto the grassy berm in the center of the main puddle.
Please keep your distance --these long-distance migrants are dropping in 
to rest and preen and feed, impossible with such pressure on them so 
constantly.
And please have respect for others trying to see the birds.

The Dunlin, by the way, are indeed molting juveniles, as confirmed this 
morning by Shai.

[nysbirds-l] Heckscher SP

[Sy Schiff]

Joe Giunta & I (Sy Schiff) reacted to a call and returned to Heckscher after 
yesterday’s visit arriving about !:30. The HUDSONIAN GODWIT  was in the puddle 
with a LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER  and DUNLIN in a neat grouping. And they 
immediately flew off. The Godwit circled and landed close to where we were 
parked. And then it flew off towards Field #6. Almost all the remaining 
shorebirds flew off with it. Staying, were a few Greater Yellowlegs, Dunlin and 
a pair of SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS.  The latter were carefully checked for 
Western Sandpiper, more common at this late date.

At Field #6, there were both GREATER and LESSER YELLOWLEGS, and KILLDEER.  
Ducks included MALLARD, BLACK, female PINTAIL, GREEN AND BLUE-WINGED TEAL. We 
returned to Field #7 on the way home and the Godwit had again returned. 
Patience required.

[nysbirds-l] Heckscher SP (Suffolk): American Golden Plover, Long-billed Dowitcher

[GQ]

I went to Heckscher SP (Suffolk) from 11:30 AM to about 1PM today. It rained 
steadily but it was 64 degrees. There was a nice variety of shorebirds 
providing very close views.
The highlights were 3 American Golden Plovers and a very nondescript 
Long-billed Dowitcher that I initially could not pin down to species. Later, 
Ken Thompson and Mike Cooper showed up and also couldn’t provide a positive ID 
on a very wet bird.
Finally, the bird picked up and Mike was able to hear and make an audible 
identification. Thanks Mike!!
Also present were roughly 40+ Dunlin, 1 Semipalmated Plover, and many Killdeer, 
Greater Yellowlegs, and Black-bellied Plovers. A female Pintail was also in the 
main pool.
I posted a few lousy photos to the eBird checklist of the Golden Plover and 
Dunlin.
I tried to post a decent video of the dowitcher, too, but eBird would not 
accept MP4 format. I tried converting to MP3 but it only took the audio portion.
If anyone knows how to convert MP4/upload to ebird, let me know and I’ll post 
it.

Cheers,

[nysbirds-l] Heckscher SP shorebirds

[GQ]

A nice collection of shorebirds between 10AM and noon at the Field 7 parking 
lot this morning, Heckscher SP. Very close views of all.
Besides the regulars, there were a single White-rumped Sandpiper, 2 Pectoral 
Sandpipers, 2 Red Knot, and 1 lonely Short-billed Dowitcher (heard calling 
before it left).
Many Semipalmated Plovers, Killdeer, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Least Sandpipers, 
several Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs and Sanderling. About 8 or 10 
Black-bellied Plover, including one very clean individual, an apparent juvenile 
that kept to itself, with definite golden hues on the head and upper back
(but black axillars and white tail/rump in flight).
Also, a very ragged Horned Lark in the parking lot.
An Osprey dropped into the parking lot puddle amidst all the shorebirds and 
proceeded to bath for some time. Most of the shorebirds seemed indifferent to 
it but some seemed to be looking at it like we would look at a waiter with his 
thumb in our soup.
