south of the overlook. Best seen from the raunt.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Purple gallinule

2020-06-28 Thread Robert Lewis 


I made the pilgrimage this morning to Twin Lakes, near Wantaugh, Nassau County, 
for the oft-reported Purple Gallinule. This time I had good luck, as someone 
was already on the bird when I arrived. June 28. (I spent more than two hours 
there Thursday afternoon with no success.) The bird hugs the west shore between 
about Ryder Place and the little entrance gate, which is a couple hundred feet 
north of Ryder. There is plenty of easy free parking. It can be VERY hard to 
find. It is VERY hard to get decent photos. I've posted two photos on the New 
York Birders facebook page.


I'm sorry that my post here around 7:30am caused confusion.  I wanted to get 
the word out quickly to those who may have already been there at some other 
spot on the lake.

Don't do what I did on Thursday: spend most of your time scanning out over the 
lake hoping to see the bird hopping around on the lily pads or flying over the 
lake.  In my experience and those I've talked to, the bird spends all its time 
hugging the shore, walking through the thick branches within ten-twenty feet of 
the path.  It really helps to have several pairs of eyes searching.  Even then 
it disappears for long stretches.  It occasionally calls.

I believe the location is Twin Lakes Preserve in Wantagh, Long Island.

Try these coordinates (40.675957,-73.515862) to get a feel of the location; you 
should also see where “Ryder” is as referenced by Mr. Lewis.

I hope this helps.

Re: [ebirdsnyc] Re: [nysbirds-l] Purple Gallinule in Central Park and the marathon

2019-11-03 Thread David Barrett 
The Central Park Turtle Pond area is expected to be accessible, though you
likely will have to go under one of the park's east-side bridges to avoid
crossing the park's East Drive, which will host the marathon, and to avoid
the dedicated marathon areas on the west side of the park.

As for the Purple Gallinule, we do not yet have any public report on it
today. Follow @birdcentralpark on Twitter for updates, and I will try to
relay at least one of them here, too.

 I'd like to drive down and look for the bird today.  But today is the NYC 
Marathon!  Would it be best to wait and come down another day?  Could I get

[nysbirds-l] Purple Gallinule, old record, Nassau County

2018-02-12 Thread GQ 
Seeing these reports of Purple Gallinule prompted me to search eBird to see if 
the one I saw MANY years ago was there. It wasn’t, so I added it.

This was a bird that Barbara Spencer (who else?) found on her way to work the 
morning of June 13, 1980 at Scudders Pond in Sea Cliff (Nassau County). It was 
a very easy bird to see right from the road and I was able to find it the next 
day within minutes of my mother driving me to the location.
It was seen by many others, photographed, and documented in the Fall 1980 issue 
of The Kingbird.

Anybody else remember this bird??

Cheers,

Glenn

[nysbirds-l] Purple Gallinule at Montezuma

2010-10-16 Thread Kevin J. McGowan 
I found a young PURPLE GALLINULE at Montezuma today.  It was an immature bird, 
but had largely purple chest.  It was in the main pool, approximately half way 
between the second interpretive sign on the drive and the spillway (carp spot).
It was in a line of vegetation in one of the first two or three open water 
spots along the drive.  Along most of the drive the vegetation is too thick to 
see any water.  Eventually a channel opens up between the drive and the thick 
cattails.  In that channel are lines of planted duck food, the name of which 
escapes me at the moment.  The gallinule was feeding actively in that sparse 
line of vegetation.
I was cruising down the main drive and saw some coots, which made me think 
about the rail tail-flicking video I want for the birding-by-behavior online 
course I'm working on for the Lab.  As I passed a little window onto some water 
I caught an image of a bird out of the corner of my eye.  It was standing on 
vegetation about 5 inches off the water and it flicked its white tail as I 
passed.  That little voice in my head that I have learned to trust said 
"gallinule."  I stopped and backed up, thinking that it must be a moorhen, but 
that would be good too as I could photograph it tail-flicking.  As I backed up 
I thought to myself that being up in the vegetation like that is really a 
Purple Gallinule thing, not a moorhen.  When I got back to it, it was 
clambering around on top of vegetation and I knew it was a Purple Gallinule 
before I ever saw its rich, tawny brown head, greenish wings, and partially 
purple chest contrasting against a white belly.
I watched it feed actively for two hours before Gary Kohlenberg finally showed 
up and I could hand it off to someone.  During that time I never had a 
completely open view of the bird; there was always some vegetation between us.  
This could be a very, very tough bird to relocate.  I could have driven by it a 
thousand times before without noticing.  It was just the luck of seeing it up 
off the water and having it tail-flick that put me on it.
It was often out of sight climbing up into thicker vegetation.  Purple 
Gallinules can swim and often wade, but they seem to prefer to keep their feet 
out of the water.  In addition to climbing, this bird used its feet to push 
down stalks of the vegetation to get to seeds.
I took nearly 1,000 photos, almost all of which were pure crap because of the 
intervening vegetation, combined with my inexperience digiscoping with my new 
digital SLR and the rapid decline of my standby Canon Sureshot point-and-shoot. 
 (Unfortunately there is no clear successor in the p-a-s world; digiscoping 
could be a thing of the past!)  I have put a few of the best at 
http://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/PurpleGallinuleMontezumaNWROct2010.

Description:
The medium-short triangular bill, compact body, long legs with long toes, and 
short pointed tail that was often flicked up made it a "gallinule" sensu lato.

It had a brownish face and neck, extending smoothly from the whitish throat to 
the warm ruddy brown of the nape.  I have always loved the "soft" look this 
creates on young Purple Gallinules.  The wings were dark with a greenish sheen 
when seen well, which was infrequently.  The chest was blotched with bluish 
purple across the upper chest and along the sides, which contrasted strikingly 
with the white belly feathers and those of the chest that had not yet changed.

The bill was dull-colored, and just seemed dusky in the field unless the light 
was directly on it.  Then, and as shown by photographs, it was distinctly 
two-toned, with a reddish base and a dull yellowish distal half.  It had a 
prominent frontal plate on the forehead that was most noticeable when the sun 
reflected off it.  It was dull, dark, and dusky, of no particular color, 
although it was shiny.  It covered almost half the forehead, and was pointed at 
the upper end.

The eye color was not particularly noticeable in the field, but the photos show 
a medium brown (similar to the face) with the pupils obvious.

When it raised the short, triangular tail in the action I was interested in, 
the undertail was pure white, instead of the white-with-black-in-the-middle of 
Common Moorhen or American Coot.

I am not sure that I ever had a clear view of the legs, but the impression I 
got was that they were yellowish.

Purple Gallinule is a very rare bird in New York with only a couple dozen 
records, and I can only remember 2 other records in the Cayuga Lake Basin 
offhand, both at Montezuma.  I have only ever seen one in the state, a juvenile 
that was at Montezuma at least from the end of September 2002 through the 
middle of October.  I have photos of that bird at 
http://www.birds.cornell.edu/crows/purplegallinule.htm.  Interestingly, the 
photo of that bird from 12 October showed it with no purple on the chest at 
all.  Quite different than the bird I saw today.

[nysbirds-l] PURPLE GALLINULE - Confirmed (but died today)

2009-10-13 Thread Brad Carlson 

Late last night Pat Martin reported a possible molting Purple Gallinule that 
she saw at Mendon Ponds Park in Monroe County on Sunday Oct. 11th.  She was not 
confident in her ID, but seemed to give a good description.  I tried to reach 
Pat for additional details this morning, however growing anxious by this 
afternoon, I decided to hike around the area to see if I could refind this 
mystery bird. 

 

Shortly after arriving at the south end of Quaker Pond at Mendon Ponds Park, I 
found the 1st year PURPLE GALLINULE.  The bird was at the waters edge, and 
appeared as if it had just bathed (water droplets on it's back).  I reached for 
my camera to get the documenting photo, when I noticed the bird was not moving. 
 I stepped closer, and gasped "n"  My worst fear, I found the bird 
and it was dead.  Even worst than that, is the fact that it had died within 
minutes prior to my arrival.  The bird was still warm, completely lax, and 
glassy eyed.  Why oh why did I not go look for it this morning when it was 
still alive???!!!  "Should have, could have, would have." 

 

I considered mouth to beak resuscitation along with mild chest compressions, 
but was too afraid of avian flu (after all I still need to keep my strength up 
to fight off swine flu)!

 

I photographed the dead bird, and I will provide the specimen to Cornell's Lab 
of Ornithology.
