[nysbirds-l] Wading River
Hello all, Thanks for all the private messages; even the dodgy ones. Sorry about the botched crake sighting and I am fully aware I’ve never mastered anything in the bird world now. At home backyard birds were a doddle. I admire you folk’s talents and spirit. A friendly lass suggested I go to Wading River to waddle around a bit with the spectacles and I did. What a nightmare Riverhead is at 7 bells for a bloke arse over elbow with your righty steering. Getting into Long Island’s countryside is wonderful. My first stop was a Baited Hollow for Boy Scouts. I called my friend at work to see if these Boy Scouts were dangerous first. He said to just try it out; and if there was no gate go for it and I did. What a commencement! Eastern wood-pee-wee (sang his name, love those) More yellow warblers (brilliant) Wood thrush (what a beautiful warbling trill) Ovenbird (drab and secretive) A flash of an understory hawk that almost ate an ovenbird! He failed because he blooming startled me off my seat, which scared the ovenbird. A piece of water had a cracker of a belted kingfisher. I sat and waited like I do with our common kingfishers for the coup de grace on a fish but it never occurred. These kingfishers remind me of my love for fish. American goldfinch. (the most soothing song so far. Helped me with the recent split with ex. I would have poured a beer for that bird.) Spotted sandpiper. (Got home three hours ago and just got secure enough to post its sighting. Bopping around and all that shuffled together with its outward appearances, crikey). Best for last; wood duck. Only for a moment with a departing whistling squawk that surely befits a different species of drabber design. Got into some brambles that about ripped my pants off and I’m nursing ticks these days as well. Some of this Islands plants and creatures can get stuffed for all I care. And don’t send me emails about how you like brambles and spider mites. I will take head to the spirit of the site as explained from a member in privacy and will lay off posting what is common and Bob’s your Uncle. -- 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] Wading River (Suffolk Co) Clay-colored Sparrow
Along Hulse Landing Road in Wading River in Suffolk County (about here: 40.944971,-72.801592) I found a nice group of sparrows at about 11:45 this morning. They were mostly White-throated and White-crowned (12 of the latter) with smaller numbers of Song, Savannah, American Tree, and a single Clay-colored Sparrow, my bird of the day. There were at least two Common Redpolls in with this group; an American Kestrel was hunting along the road just south of this location. While we are on sparrows, I found a nice "Ipswich" Savannah Sparrow earlier that morning at Cupsogue Beach County Park. I stopped by Eastport Lake to look at ducks around 9:30am - sprinkled in among the others I found 26 Canvasback, 2 Redheads, and one each Wood Duck and Northern Pintail.
