Re: [nysbirds-l] Wheatear continues at Heckscher State Park(Suffolk Co.) YES

[Daisy Lane Paul]

Wheater is still giving great looks! Favoring orange cones by the "Cottages
9-10 Parking" sign when it's not in the median.

Here are coordinates for anyone not familiar with the area:

40.704149,-73.149276

Good birding!

[nysbirds-l] Wheatear No

[Elliotte Rusty Harold]

FYI, a search at Plumb Beach in the usual locations from about 9:00 to
10:00 this morning, 10/9, failed to turn up the Wheatear; though a flyover
American Bittern was a nice consolation.

[nysbirds-l] Wheatear- NO

[Andrew Baksh]

The Northern Wheatear went missing a little bit after the last positive
report earlier this morning and has not been refound.

A number of birders combed the areas the bird was last seen, searching as
far west as the weedy lot adjacent to the motel near Knapp Street.

I also checked Breezy Point but struck out. I would encourage birders,
planning on going to Plum to widen the search areas to include Dead Horse
Bay.

Excellent bird for Brooklyn and good for Shane Blodgett, who has faithfully
pounded that patch.

Good luck to all who try and please post an update to the list serves.

Cheers,

Andrew

A number of birders combed the areas the bird was last seen, searching as
far west as the weedy lot adjacent to the motel near Knapp Street.

I also checked Breezy Point but struck out. I would encourage birders,
planning on going to Plum to widen the search areas to include Dead Horse
Bay.

Excellent bird for Brooklyn and good for Shane Blodgett, who has faithfully
pounded that patch.

Good luck to all who try and please post an update to the list serves.

Cheers,

Andrew

[nysbirds-l] Wheatear

[Mike]

A group of us including Jim Ash and Vicki Bustamante watched the Wheatear until 
about 1115. It was last seen around the small ponds behind the main building at 
Deep Hollow Ranch. It was frequently perching up on the fence posts. 

Good luck if you go!

[nysbirds-l] Wheatear

[Hugh McGuinness]

Karen Rubinstein has just found a NORTHERN WHEATEAR at Theodore Roosevelt
County Park in Montauk, eastern Suffolk County. Take Rt 27 through the
village of Montauk and look for the park on the left (north) about a half
mile after East Lake Drive. Turn into the park and park near the buildings.
Walk east toward the barn to a gate and notice a wide path that lead to the
barn. The Wheatear has been foraging to the left (north) of the path among
the small plants (goldenrods) on the slope above the west side of the pond
that lies north of the barn.

Bird was a no show through 715pm tonight, thurs, sept. 8.  Adult Bald Eagle and 
at least 50 Common Nighthawks were a nice consolation, though.

[nysbirds-l] Wheatear- Seen@ 3:15PM

[Jack Rothman]

Richard Aracil, Deborah Allen and I watched the bird on a pile of large broken 
rocks across many rows of track at about 3:25 this afternoon. Other birders 
were present as well. To find the pile of rocks, face the fence, midway to the 
end of parking lot J, on the attached map. Obviously, the bird may not be there 
on Friday but that is where it was last seen. A spotting scope is helpful.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Wheatear Question

[Richard Guthrie]

Thanks, everyone, for the info. 

 

Unfortunately, since I was on a tight schedule, I couldn't entertain the
thought of getting off the train at Croton. I had to be in Albany to do my
radio show. And, as it was, because of additional delays north of
Poughkeepsie (trees down on the tracks), I made it to the studio with only
minutes to spare. My question: was the bird in a place where it might be
seen from the train: was intended to offer some help to others who might be
passing through while facing similar constraints. 

 

As for me, I'll just have to be content with seeing several Bald Eagles,
Ospreys, and two Snowy Egrets in with Great Egrets along the Hudson as the
Amtrak train crawled north on CSX rails; and, having seen N. Wheatear
elsewhere in NY State.

Hi Fred and Rich,

 

Here's a Google Map with various points plotted:

http://g.co/maps/sqd4a

 

Very unlikely to see the bird from the train, and unfortunately definitely
not from where the train stops to let off passengers.

 

Once in the HUGE parking lot for the train station (in a car or on foot), go
to the extreme south end, so you can't go any further or you'd be in the
water. You'll pass all the commuters' cars, and then probably some empty
parking lot space (keeping the tracks to your right). You'll pass the large
shed and arrive at the very small parking lot at the end by the small boat
ramp, where the bird has been seen.

 

Good luck!

RE: [nysbirds-l] Wheatear Question

[Richard Guthrie]

Thanks, everyone, for the info. 

 

Unfortunately, since I was on a tight schedule, I couldn't entertain the
thought of getting off the train at Croton. I had to be in Albany to do my
radio show. And, as it was, because of additional delays north of
Poughkeepsie (trees down on the tracks), I made it to the studio with only
minutes to spare. My question: was the bird in a place where it might be
seen from the train: was intended to offer some help to others who might be
passing through while facing similar constraints. 

 

As for me, I'll just have to be content with seeing several Bald Eagles,
Ospreys, and two Snowy Egrets in with Great Egrets along the Hudson as the
Amtrak train crawled north on CSX rails; and, having seen N. Wheatear
elsewhere in NY State.

Hi Fred and Rich,

 

Here's a Google Map with various points plotted:

http://g.co/maps/sqd4a

 

Very unlikely to see the bird from the train, and unfortunately definitely
not from where the train stops to let off passengers.

 

Once in the HUGE parking lot for the train station (in a car or on foot), go
to the extreme south end, so you can't go any further or you'd be in the
water. You'll pass all the commuters' cars, and then probably some empty
parking lot space (keeping the tracks to your right). You'll pass the large
shed and arrive at the very small parking lot at the end by the small boat
ramp, where the bird has been seen.

 

Good luck!

For those of us unfamiliar with the area and the station, can someone tell

follow signs to the Croton-Harmon MetroNorth RR station?  Drive to the south
end of the parking lot?  Will the rock pile and the shed be easily seen?

[nysbirds-l] Wheatear- Seen@ 3:15PM

[Jack Rothman]

Richard Aracil, Deborah Allen and I watched the bird on a pile of large broken 
rocks across many rows of track at about 3:25 this afternoon. Other birders 
were present as well. To find the pile of rocks, face the fence, midway to the 
end of parking lot J, on the attached map. Obviously, the bird may not be there 
on Friday but that is where it was last seen. A spotting scope is helpful.

Bird was a no show through 715pm tonight, thurs, sept. 8.  Adult Bald Eagle and 
at least 50 Common Nighthawks were a nice consolation, though.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Wheatear Question

[Tom Fiore]

Re: the Northern Wheatear in Westchester Co.

It might sort of follow that anyone arriving early and finding the  
Northern Wheatear still present at Croton-Harmon Metro-North RR  
station's vicinity could attempt to post a report as early as they're  
able to for the others who would be most interested...


and as well, should NO one spot that bird in the first couple of hours  
of daylight Thursday... There is some migration taking place at this  
very hour.  After a while searching, a "negative" report is also a  
courtesy to many others that might consider a longer trip & so on.


Best of luck - hope it sticks another night & day.

Tom Fiore,
Manhattan

RE: [nysbirds-l] Wheatear Question

[Robert Lewis]

Seeing it from a moving train?  That's quite a stretch. Virtually no chance.  
Once the train has stopped at the station?  Even less likely.  Get out and walk!

The area is very easy to find.  I posted these coordinates yesterday (the green 
arrow if you feed this into Google maps).

41.184524, -73.879591 

Croton Harmon Station is hard to miss.  Just exit off route 9/9A.  Google maps.

Just go south down the driveway, called "Veteran's Plaza" on Google.  All of 
the tracks are to the west.  Pass the area where the hundreds of cars will be 
parked (mostly on your left, the east).  As you go south, the asphalt narrows.  
That's good; it makes it easy to find the location where the bird was.  It is 
easy to park down there.  Put Google Maps on "Satellite" and magnify it to the 
100 foot scale.  The south end of the maintenance building that has been 
mentioned is at

41.1856, -73.88016

The gravel pile (not in the Google photo) is about 20 feet south.

I'm trying to be objective, as I know the area so well, but, really, you can't 
miss it -- the area, that is.

spotting it. But who knows; someone else might be able to.

Question 


For those of us unfamiliar with the area and the station,
can someone tell me, is it obvious where to go to look for the Northern
Wheatear?  Do you follow signs to the Croton-Harmon MetroNorth RR
station?  Drive to the south end of the parking lot?  Will the
rock pile and the shed be easily seen? 





I plan on going tomorrow morning.  Thanks!!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Wheatear seen as of 12:50pm

[Benjamin Van Doren]

Hi all,

Wheatear was still there as of 6 PM. Frequenting the fence along the train
tracks but also flying all around the area, perching in trees, on a garbage
can, and often staying on the ground inside the train track fence. Luckily,
the many trains moving by would flush the bird onto the fence for great
looks when this occurred.

Superb looks at a superbly cooperative bird!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Wheatear at Croton RR Station

[Robert Lewis]

Update:  easily visible from around 2:50 - 3:10pm when I left. killer looks.

When I left it was perched on top of a gravel pile, about 6 feet off the ground.

Plenty of easy parking here.  Just keep driving south.
