[nysbirds-l] Route 17, Manorville, Suffolk Co.

Heading west on the LIE Wednesday AM, I observed a small flock of 6-7 Wild Turkeys pecking away on the grassy divider between the east west road-ways. My mind immediately traveled back to being upstate somewhere below Binghampton on 17, riding along with Bill Reeves en-route to a NYSOA quarterly

[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park, New York, NY: Chuck-will's-widow continues

Hi all, I haven't seen and email report today so I thought I would forward this RBA report for NY County, which I subscribe to through eBird. Here is the comment in the report: NE corner of park, high in a tree not far from the bird bath. Very difficult to see, just keep searching the trees

Re: [nysbirds-l] Bryant Park Chuck-will's-widow--YES

I wonder if any late night visitors to Bryant Park (New York Co.) have seen the bird feeding or at least taking flight from its daytime roost? Evidently it has moved its roost site each day but on Monday the bird remained in situ well after sunset which was surprising. For those who haven't

[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park Chuck-will's-widow--YES

I saw the Bryant Park Chuck-will's-widow yesterday and today (4/15 4/16), still roosting in sycamores near the NE corner of the lawn behind the Public Library. One can't help but wonder if the nocturnal insect population in the park is currently sufficient to sustain it. -- NYSbirds-L List

[nysbirds-l] EPCAL Update - Police

A heads up to all who might wish to enjoy the wonderful birds at EPCAL in Calverton/Riverhead: You can park and walk the grasslands but are not permitted to drive or walk on the concrete runway/taxiways of the closed NE-SW grassland area. The area is under camera surveillance at all times,

Re: [nysbirds-l] Bryant Park Chuck-will's-widow--YES

Thanks for your thoughtful analysis Angus.  I have been birding in Bryant Park for years, and am myself at a loss for why birds often remain there for so long.  I think it makes sense that it's a migrant trap in the first place given the dearth of other appropriate habitat nearby.  I suspect

Re: [nysbirds-l] EPCAL Update - Police

Hi Elieen, Sorry to hear about that. Others can correct me but I believe the runways have been off-limit for some time now. Over the winter when looking at the Short-eared Owls, birders and photographers alike *(at least when I was there)* were all parked off the runways and were looking at the

Hi List...I have Birding Mag from the last 12-15 years or so that I am going to get rid of if anyone would like them. Free to whoever can come get them. Contact me off list. Thanks Patrick Santinello Center Moriches, NY 11934 -- NYSbirds-L List Info:

Re: [nysbirds-l] EPCAL Update - Police

There have been concrete barriers and yellow tape blocking off the runways since sometime in the fall. I'm in the area several times a week and almost always see cars on the runways anyway- mostly hunters with dogs- apparently training. My impression has been that enforcement is selective-

[nysbirds-l] Changing seasons

While birding along Dune Road in East Quogue this afternoon, we viewed both a small flock of Bufflehead and two A. Oystercatchers In the same field of view. Also noted were Black-bellied Plovers, Greater Yellowlegs, and several Great Egrets, in addition to thirty + Brant. Barbara Erich Glanz

Re: [nysbirds-l] EPCAL Update - Police

One day this winter I was birding at EPCAL with a friend and watched a man who had parked on the runway (this was the west runway, not the one they actually use) start to unload his gear which included a rather large fan like apparatus (the size of a fan that might be used in a greenhouse)

That was to be expected. It's come into a good thing. I watched it feed on opossum yesterday. And as Jed Clampett once put it, that's the thing about possum innards: they's just as good the second day. I put up a picture for anyone that hasn't had enough of it, sparing the innards and getting its
