[nysbirds-l] Re-cap of the week in East Hampton - (probable) Rufous Hummingbird, Philadelphia Vireo, etc.
Checked the Bridgehampton ponds this morning - Mecox had a CASPIAN TERN, a single BLACK TERN, an immature GULL-BILLED TERN and over 70 Black Skimmers. Shorebird numbers and variety were both low considering the date and the habitat. Sagaponack Pond quickly produced the WHITE IBIS (relocated this morning by Michael McBrien Jr. I believe). Sagg Main had an adult GULL-BILLED TERN. Wainscott Pond had 16 BLACK TERNS. A quick check at Acabonac turned up 10 BLACK TERNS and a MERLIN. Back in the Northwest Woods, migration has continued all week. The (probable) RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD continues along with a number of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. Best migrant of the week was a PHILADELPHIA VIREO in the yard on Wednesday, but others have included Chestnut-sided Warbler, Canada Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Nashville Warbler, Northern Parula, Black-and-white Warbler, American Redstart, Yellow Warbler, Pine Warbler and Red-eyed Vireo. Up to 12 COMMON NIGHTHAWKS have been feeding over the yard each evening and the local Eastern Screech Owls remain very vocal. Sammy's Beach has quieted down in terms of the number of birds but held a couple of BLACK TERNS all week, 4 Blue-winged Teal and a Chimney Swift on Thursday, and still has a few Prairie Warblers and Horned Larks out at the end. -- 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/ --
