[nysbirds-l] New Park in Jamaica Bay and list of birds from there for anyone interested

I'm glad to hear they are finally making those former dumps into a park.  I just hope they don't develop them to much as they are excellent for birds as they are now.  I worked on both of the landfills for a year in '06 and '07 doing bird surveys and hazing of geese and gulls and know first hand

Re: [nysbirds-l] New NYS Jamaica Bay Park

Rather than discuss access to the website I think we should cut to the chase and consider the specifics - as far as they are knowable - of the proposal itself. What is the plan exactly?

Seems like 9-Noon at Playland Lake is the optimum time for the Barnacle/Cackling duo; and as for yesterday’s jetty/groyn (or groin) chat; thank you for teaching me a new word, always appreciated. Teatown’s Hudson River Eaglefest is next Saturday 2/10. There have been more than 160 bald eagles

Re: [nysbirds-l] Canvasbacks, Manhattan, NYC 2/1

Before the Harlem Piers park was constructed, when there was a live sewer outlet in the Hudson River at the west end of 125th street (very visible), Canvasbacks collected there every winter. I don't unfortunately have any numbers in my old notes, but there could often be several dozen. They disappe
