Subject: [hmbirds] Southern Rensselaer CBC report (belated) |
The Southern Rensselaer Christmas Bird Count was conducted Saturday December 29 2019. Thirty participants in nine field parties tallied 63 species and 13,786 birds. This is the third-highest number of species in the past 20 years, topped only by 2001 and 2007 with 68 species both years, and well above the 20 year average of 57 species.
All major bodies of water were mostly open, with creeks and rivers flowing at a moderate rate while most still water was mostly frozen. The weather was more pleasant than it had been for the past few years, with no precipitation, light winds, and temps in the mid-30s to mid-40s. Only an inch or so of snow remained.
With lakes frozen and running water moving fast, we didn't have any surprises in the waterfowl department. Single Northern Pintail and Green-winged Teal were the only standouts. Some half-hardy species hung out in the mild weather -- Great Blue Heron, Belted Kingfisher, Hermit Thrush, and Gray Catbird. A single Iceland Gull stood out in the flocks. Early owling parties found Eastern Screech and Great Horned Owls. Good numbers of raptors were seen, including all three falcons and the usual Black Vulture roost at HVCC. Six species of sparrows were found.
Given the bleak Finch Forecast, it was not surprising to strike out on Purple Finches, Common Redpolls, and Pine Siskins. Red-Breasted Nuthatches are still lingering up in the hills and were not seen on the count.
We wrapped up with our usual congenial compilation dinner at the Lakeview. I'm looking for quieter quarters for next year!
Thank you to everyone who participated in field parties or feederwatching. I hope to see you again next winter on December 26 2020 - mark your calendars!
A more detailed report will appear soon in FEATHERS.

Yes definitely Galway NY.
She is a long time birder and I know this isn’t a prank photo. That’s why I asked for help.
I will send you a screenshot of her original Facebook post but it’s a cellphone pic so details aren’t great.
Thankyou for all the opinions.

Subject: [hmbirds] Rough-legged Hawk, Northumberland |
Made a pass through Williams Lane and other roads near King Dairy in
Northumberland yesterday, late afternoon. The new snow had covered any
manure spreads and the only snow bunting I found flew over the car as I was
leaving Williams. On the lane, a beautiful rough-legged hawk was perched in
a tree south of the lane. Several horned larks were along this road, also
four of them on the road edge at the north end of Homestead. 35 wild
turkeys were feeding in a cornfield near the intersection of Wall and Goff.
On Fish Creek at Stafford’s Bridge, the large number of waterfowl continue.
No sign of the canvasback, but a wood duck and a bufflehead were there,
also a pair of scaup (greater?). There were also a few hooded mergansers
among the many Canada geese, mallards, blacks and common mergs.

Birded Schuylerville to Northumberland and then to WC Grasslands. In
Northumberland, Snow Buntings and Horned Larks were found everywhere along
melted grassy/gravelly shoulder strips. There were 2 adult Bald Eagles
within 3 feet of each other overlooking the Hudson River on Harris Road. In
the WC Grasslands area, there seemed to be a steady flow of slow-driving
birdwatchers, especially along Fitzpatrick Lane, presumably looking for
Short-Eared Owls. I left the crowd after a quick gander and happened along
a Great-Horned Owl perched right along the road next to the Grasslands
parking lot on Blackhouse Road. Got fantastic views in pretty good light.
It was a first for my sister, Heidi. It was my first for this species in
the Grasslands region. My sister was so excited!
Happy Birding,

Hi all,
I walked the bike path from Niskayuna Lions park past the Ferry Drive bridge today from 12:20-2:00pm.
The area between Lions Park and the Ferry Drive Bridge was quiet with only a little open water in the middle of the river.
Past the Ferry Drive bridge the birds were more active including:
Sharp-shinned Hawk- a nice view of a perched adult bird just past the bridge
Bald Eagle- an adult perched near the river
Snow Buntings-50 or so in an active group in the farmers fields north of the Ferry Drive bridge
American Tree Sparrows-20 in a group
Common Raven- 1 bird flying over the bridge croaking and diving in the brisk winds
Good Birding,
Neal Reilly

Subject: [hmbirds] Albany County, 1/19 |
This morning at Henry Hudson Park in Selkirk, I found a Winter Wren still hanging on. I heard it calling, then it showed itself well in response to pishing. I also saw the Northern Harrier that has been frequenting the fields to the south of park. Several groups of Common Mergansers as well as two Common Goldeneyes passed by, all headed south. Meanwhile, a steady stream of Ring-billed Gulls was moving north. A pair of Common Ravens that seem to live in Rensselaer County and work in Albany County showed up on schedule, flying west across the river together at sunrise.
At Coeymans Landing, the Mute Swan was present, eating the cracked corn that people put out for it. Of more interest, the woods south of the parking area were hopping. I found at least one Ruby-crowned Kinglet, at least three Yellow-rumped Warblers, a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, and numerous more common birds.
Around midday I drove around in the Helderbergs. My only notable sighting there was a Rough-legged Hawk on Joslyn School Road in East Berne. On my way home, I found a flock of about 25 Snow Buntings in the fields on either side of Wemple Road in Glenmont, just east of Route 9W.

Subject: [hmbirds] Waterfowl Hudson River - Greene County |
I ran the Hudson River (Greene County) section of the annual waterfowl
count today from 8 AM until the snow started at 2 PM.
The stretch covered was from Coeymans Landing in southern Albany County to
Smith's Landing south of Catskill.
The day was cold but pleasant starting at 11 F and slowly going up to 20 F
by noon. The wind was brisk at times, but not brutal.
The river was open, with no ice except a rim along the shoreline and in
sheltered bays and marshes.
There was no snow on the ground. But it did start snowing at around 2 PM,
reducing visibility significantly.
Given the forecast for snow starting from the south to north, I
leap-frogged down to the southern end of the segment then worked northward.
Here's the totals:
Canada Goose 1,749
Mute Swan 3
Mallard 191 (a significant number of the Mallards were at an
open pond behind Oakbrook Manor apartments in Ravena where some domestic
ducks are fed)
Am. Blk Duck 19
C. Merganser 33
In addition, there were 10 Bald Eagles with two pairs sitting by nests;
and, 5 Red-tailed Hawks, and 3 C. Ravens (one pair displaying a bit of
courtship type flying)

I was perhaps a little too terse in my post, as I was emailing from the car on my phone. The area in Saratoga County roughly centered on the segment of SR 32 that runs between Bacon Hill and Gansevoort has a lot of good open-field habitat and dairy farms with manure spreads to attract wintering field birds. This is the approximate location where the big flock has been seen recently:
https://goo.gl/maps/ UPe7mUerUcaEVRL49 ( https://goo.gl/maps/UPe7mUerUcaEVRL49 )
Obviously, with the new snow coming, the situation will be fluid and will depend on where the next nice manure spread appears on the new snow.

As an addition, I was up by Lake George on Tuesday and found the lake open

I checked a few viewing opportunities and found few waterfowl and nothing

Hey folks! I am not dead!
Let's meet at Brown's Beach on Saratoga Lake at 9:00am. We can check the lake to see if the warmer temps have opened water and brought ducks, then move up to the Northumberland farm country and look for winter birds. See you there!

So far this morning at Henry Hudson Park in Selkirk I have seen a Yellow-rumped Warbler, a Rusty Blackbird, and at least one, probably two, Ruby-crowned Kinglets.

Subject: [hmbirds] Fish Creek Waterfowl - Canvasback |
Stopped at the Fish Creek Marina, Stafford’s Bridge Road, Saratoga at noon
time. Creek is mostly open, with perhaps 300 waterfowl present. A male
canvasback was among the many mallards and American black ducks. Also
present: hooded and common mergansers, one female bufflehead, a few greater
and lesser scaup, and two female wood ducks.

Subject: [hmbirds] This week's destination: 1/9 and thoughts for next week |
Thursday looks like it will be cold but clear, so let's take a run upriver. We can check for waterfowl at the usual places and if time permits look for winter field birds in Fort Edward or Northumberland. Meet at the Mechanicville Price Chopper at 9:00. If I'm not there by 9:05, leave without me -- I'm fighting a cold and may not be up to it. Hope to join you but I'm not optimistic.
The Alan Devoe Thursday group is travelling down to the Shawangunk Grasslands area next week for the Harrier/Short-eared Owl show, visiting Weston Rd swamp for Red-headed Woodpeckers along the way and checking the Blue Chip Farms for more winter visitors. This will be a midday into evening trip. We'll plan out meeting time and carpool arrangements next week.

Although rare (endangered, with only 4,000 pairs left), since they never travel far from the scrub areas they live, were actually easy to find, at least on the day I was there. A few were all around me, on branches and the ground no more than 2 feet away. They didn't seem to care that I was there at all. I posted two pics in my album (a few more on flickr). Here's one:

Subject: [hmbirds] Franklin Mt. Hawkwatch season wrapup |
Susan, Kathryn--
This went out to the bird lists around the state and to our hawkwatch
contacts today. Feel free to use on the web site and/or Facebook. It
will also be in the next KF.
Andy
**********************************************
January 5, 2019 ended the 39th consecutive season of monitoring
migrating raptors at the Franklin Mt. Hawkwatch, near Oneonta in NY's
northern Catskill Mountains. No birds were tallied under overcast skies
with gusty WNW winds.
Whereas the 2018 season was notable for a large concentrated movement of
Golden Eagles in the second half of October, this year was the exact
opposite. Only one golden was counted in Oct., 2019, a great aberration
from the norm. This is even stranger considering the record-shattering
254 counted in Oct. 2018. A typical October at Franklin Mt. would
produce 50 or so Golden Eagles, so this represents two extremes in
succeeding years.
Over half of last year's October tally came on one incredible date, Oct.
25, when counters and visitors spotted 128 GE's---a single day record
for eastern North America. Even setting aside this huge day, Oct., 2018
far surpassed any other October in site history. The drop to one bird
this year is inexplicable. Will the species return to form next season?
Golden Eagles did recover in November though, with a good count of 157,
including double-digit days of 39 on the 8th, 43 on the 12th, 23 on the
13th, and 14 on the 20th. For the season, the GE total stood at 166,
somewhat below the 19-year average of 183, since full time counting
began at the site.
Red-tail Hawks totaled 922, only half of the average of 1727, continuing
a downward trend for this stalwart of Franklin Mt. numbers. All
accipiters were notably down, as were Osprey and kestrels. Record
season highs were set for Turkey Vulture and Broad-winged Hawk. No
Black Vultures were spotted, throwing cold water on a hoped for regular
appearance following last season's count of 15 and 2017's six. Only two
BVs had been recorded in the previous 28 years.
Total raptors were 5237, largely due to the excellent Broad-winged Hawk
count in September. This makes two seasons in a row above average for
total birds.
All Franklin Mt. Hawkwatch data is available at www.hawkcount.org.
Thanks for their dedicated service goes to counters Peter Fauth, Becky
Gretton, Steve Hall, Carol and Randy Lynch, Pam Peters and Tom Salo, and
also to the spotters and visitors who helped out this year.

About 25 minutes later I saw what I think was the same bird perched in a cottonwood.

Opinions? For now it's going into eBird as Acc sp with the description above. If I'd seen it at Cherry Plain I'd feel more secure in my ID but VF just seems an unlikely place.

Hello HMBird Friends,
I'm posting a picture of a bird with this email, that was sent to me by a fellow HMBirds follower and rehabber. She said she has not been able to post pictures using her HMBirds account, so hoping that I can for her here!
She shared with me a picture from a friend of hers of a white-ish bird seen in the vicinity of Farm-to-Market Road and Smith Road within the last day. She and a couple other birders thought that it could be a Mississippi Kite, but would like some help with ID and if anyone went out to that road intersection to look for it, confirm that it is still there.
Also, a note about birds that find their way into our area from one of our known rehabbers. If you do see a bird that does look unhealthy or is in trouble, especially a bird that might be way out of it's regular range, please don't hesitate to call a rehabber to come out and assess the situation. Our local rehabbers want to help a bird that needs assistance and release it back into the wild in the appropriate habitat of course!
Thanks everyone!John Loz

John and I started our Northumberland tour in Bacon Hill and went up River Rd. Easily 150 American Crows in large fields beyond Welcome Farm. There were other spots where crows were plentiful. There was one Common Raven on Harris Road, which was our next stop. Except for two Common Mergansers, the ducks were all Common Goldeneyes, flying to different spots and riding the river rapids downs and going back up again. There was a Carolina wren in the bushes near the shore.
> It was significant that we had no filed birds, despite hitting all the favored spots in Northumberland. So Callahan Rd, Williams Lane, King Rd, Wall Rd, Purinton Rd, Austin Rd, Goff Rd all were devoid of field birds, with the field bird kid, John H on the case no less!
> We hit an active spot on Kobor Rd. There were at least 8 Eastern Bluebirds, 2 American Golfinches, numerous Juncos, and a few Chickadees and WB Nuthatches. We enjoyed watching the Bluebirds eating the sumac berries. This dead end part of Kobor also had over 100 American Crows.
> We zigzagged on Peters Rd and up and down Purinton and Austin Rd. We are about to give up when we spotted a small raft of Mallards on the Hudson 1/2 mile North of Purinton Rd. Also in the area were many Common Goldeneyes and a few Common Mergansers. I was checking out what at a distance seems to be more Goldeneyes when I saw the deep chestnut head and pure white body of a male Canvasback. I got some iffy photos before going back to get John's attention. Unfortunately, they flew off before he could see it, and despite our best efforts, we couldn't relocate it. I did have a single American Pipit fly over my head and it was calling.
> Cold and lack of field birds, brought and end to the day's adventure. Hopefully more snow and more manure will bring the field birds back.
> 20 species
>
> Canada Goose 14
> Mallard 34
> Canvasback 1 Male. Unmistakeable, hanging out with Common Goldeneyes. I am making a guess that it might be the same drake that was on Saratoga Lake up until it froze on December 20, 2019. Can'y t prove it without banding or other means, but it is unusual to have just one and The Hudson is a logical place for it to go after Saratoga Lake freezes. I did go up and down River Rd 3 weeks ago and there were no diving ducks then. Now, there are lots of Common Goldeneyes, Common Mergansers, and this Canvasback. All were on Saratoga Lake until it froze. There are also lots of Goldeneyes in Stillwater as well.

Subject: [hmbirds] Greater White-fronted Goose, Cossayuna |
Did a long drive on this wind-chilled day (January 1st, 2020) and found a
bunch of birds...finally! The Greater White-fronted Goose is still hanging
out on the outlet of Cossayuna Lake and got great looks today. It flew off
honking loudly and then circled back to the same open water on the outlet.
Magnificent!
Then in the Washington County Grasslands, my sister and I found a male
Northern Harrier followed immediately by a female of the same species. In
an area near The Stovery in Argyle, we came across a flock of Robins that
numbered at least 75 birds in 3-4 trees. Immediately adjacent to those
trees, we found a single tree that held at least 45 Cedar Waxwings...but
could not pinpoint a single, hopeful Bohemian Waxwing. At least a dozen
Red-tailed Hawks were encountered in our travels. A very cool non-avian
sighting was a lone Red Fox that walked from one side to the other on
Cossayuna Lake, at the widest point and right behind 2 ice fishermen who
had no idea what we were looking at! If they turned 180 degrees, the fox
would have been 20 feet from them!
Amazing 1st Day,
Scott Varney

Subject: [hmbirds] Ulster/Dutches (NYUD) Christmas Bird Count 12/28/19 overview |
Greetings All, The ninth annual Ulster/Dutchess(NYUD) Christmas Bird Count was conducted on Saturday, December 28th. Conditions were favorable with temperaturesranging from a low of 30 degrees during pre-dawn owling to a very comfortable,sun-filled 47 degrees midday. There wasabsolutely no breeze throughout the day which did keep a veil of fog inlocations along the river making viewing difficult until late morning. Blackice was reported in most sectors and the snow cover that was present had aslippery crust making early birding a bit treacherous. The Hudson River was open and mirror likewhile her main tributaries in the circle ran freely. Smallerbodies of water were frozen with shaded and protected areas still holding on toan inch or two of several week old snow.
45 birders in 13field parties, plus two feeder watchers covered the circle’s ten sectors. These birders observed 79 species totaling 14,731individual birds. The species totalrepresented our second lowest ( 78 in 2013) and the individual count was thethird lowest we’ve tallied. After nineyears, the NYUD composite list stands at 128 species with no new additions thisyear. Through nine years we have averaged 85 species and 17,470 individuals oncount day. Only one count week specieswas observed with an Eastern Phoebe on the Bard College Campus.
Highlights of thisyear’s count included Long-eared Owl, Blue-winged Teal, and Rusty Blackbirds inthe Annandale-On-Hudson sector, Gray Catbird and Eastern Towhee in the WestSaugerties sector, Northern Saw-whet Owl in the Kerley’s Corners sector, PurpleFinches in the Rhinebeck sector, and a House Wren in the Kingston sector. An exciting phenomenon may have truly beenthe highlight of the day with to my recollection of Ulster-centered CBC’s, afirst with three different sectorsobserving Red-headed Woodpeckers (2 in the West Saugerties sector, 2 in theWoodstock sector, and 1 in the Rhinebeck sector). Another unique occurrence were the 42individual owls counted in five sectors with Kerley’s Corners leading the waywith 16 birds and Annandale-On-Hudson with 14 birds.
Thirteen species sethigh counts this year including Red-bellied Woodpecker (54 seen in the Cheviot sector alone), 4 Common Loons and 12 of the 22 SwampSparrows observed in the Lake Katrine sector, and 160 Carolina Wrens (previoushigh was 102). Six species set new lowcounts this year including typically abundant species like Black-cappedChickadee, Tufted Titmouse, and Dark-eyed Junco. American Crow numbers this year were aalarming quarter of their 1279 in 2016.
Thank you again thisyear to Steve Chorvas for his data input and spreadsheet wizardry and to allthose NYUDers who brought food, attended, and helped with clean-up of our postcount compilation in Kingston.

I haven't used the Count Circle app but if you're cheap (as I am), you can
just look up count circle center coordinates at the Audubon CBC map and
then punch them into a circle-generating site like this one:
https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/circleplot. Then download the resulting KML
file, which can then be opened in applications like Google My Maps and
saved for mobile viewing in the field on Google Maps.

There is also a handy little app available for CBC use. It's called Count Circle and shows you where you are located within any CBC circle. We used it while we were just out birding and found count week and count day birds in nearby circles we didn't personally participate in. I really appreciated knowing where I was within the circle boundaries while I was out Owling in the dark. I believe it cost $2.99 to download from the app store.

Subject: [hmbirds] NY Breeding Bird Atlas III begins tomorrow! |
Hi All,
The third New York State Breeding Bird Atlas is nearly upon us–it
officially starts on January 1, 2020! We hope that you will join thousands
of other birders in documenting the state's breeding species over the next
five years!
Working together with the Atlas Steering Committee, Atlas Project
Coordinator Julie Hart, and a team of regional coordinators, I will be
coordinating Atlas activities in Albany, Schoharie, Greene, Fulton,
Montgomery, Schenectady, Warren, Rensselaer, Washington, and Saratoga
Counties.
Our area is home to a wonderful and distinct group of breeding birds, but
it is also a vast region, so if you ever watch birds in our area, we will
need your help! We encourage birders of all backgrounds, from new birders
to experienced Atlasers, to help document the breeding birds of our region.
The New York Breeding Bird Atlas III website (
https://ebird.org/atlasny/about) contains a lot of great information about
the Atlas, and we encourage you to explore the many resources on the site.
As the breeding season of many species starts later in the spring, there
will be Atlas training workshops and other opportunities to learn more
about Atlas goals and how atlasing works. If you're eager to get started
right away in January, here are a few key points:
All of the data entry for the project will be via a dedicated eBird portal
for New York Breeding Bird Atlas III. eBird offers real-time data entry and
outputs, so you’ll be able to follow along with results throughout the
breeding season and across the entire project period.
For this Atlas, New York State has been divided into 5,710 blocks, each
roughly 3 miles by 3 miles in size. From these 5,710 blocks covering the
entire state, the Atlas Team has selected a subset of *priority blocks*
that are evenly distributed across the state to ensure broad coverage. To
complete the Atlas, we need to adequately survey all of the priority
blocks, which make up 1/3 of all Atlas blocks. Priority blocks contain many
popular birding spots and great breeding habitats in our region, and are
where the focus should be. But if your backyard or favorite birding
destination does not fall within a priority block, you are encouraged to
submit your breeding observations for those areas, too.
This map (https://lab.nynhp.org/bba/) allows you to search for priority
blocks near you and download detailed block maps. This is also where you
will be able to sign up for blocks starting January 1, 2020. Anybody can
atlas in any Atlas block, so it is not necessary to sign up for a block.
But if you are especially interested in atlasing in a certain block,
signing up for that block is a great way to indicate your interest in
documenting the breeding birds in that block.
Although the Atlas starts on January 1, only a very small number of species
in our region might be demonstrating signs of breeding behavior in January.
These species are Great Horned Owl and Red Crossbill. This great chart (
https://s3.amazonaws.com/is-ebird-wordpress-prod-s3/wp-content/uploads/sites/79/2019/11/Breeding-Guideline-Chart.pdf)
provides very detailed information about when species are breeding in New
York. In general, breeding codes should only be used for a species if the
species is in the "E" or "B" portion of its breeding calendar.
We realize that for some of you, either atlasing or using eBird will be new
for you, but don't worry–there are lots of resources to help you learn
more! The Atlas III website is a great place to start, and then we will be
scheduling community training workshops in the coming months. In the
meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at
<zachsw...>
Good Atlasing,
Zach Schwartz-Weinstein

Subject: [hmbirds] Awareness - Site Fidelity |
There's lots of knowledge out there about site fidelity among birds - same
individuals returning each spring for nesting, and identifiable individuals
returning to the same wintering grounds.
There are some notable examples, such as an individual of a particularly
rare species that returned each year. From around our area, there are
these: Lesser Black-backed Gull, Iceland Gull, Barrow's Goldeneye, Eared
Grebe, and so on.
Bird banders know that from returning birds banded years earlier.
The reason I bring this up here is that we can anticipate similar visitors.
The Pink-footed Goose comes to mind.
Naomi Lloyd found the one in Columbia County a couple of years ago. Then
one (ok here's the stretch - maybe the same one ! ?) appeared right across
the river in The Greene County last year.
So are there others?
Sure there are...
Do you know of a particular, individually identifiable bird, that has
returned to your yard, patch, beach, park, etc. ?
Let me know by sharing the info - privately for now..
I hope to put together a compilation - with appropriate acknowledgments, in
a upcoming edition of Kingbird, the birding journal of the NYS
Ornithological Association.
Let's keep the page turners at the edge of their seats by sharing your
information to me directly rather than putting it out piecemeal on line.
Of particular interest are also those nesting, slightly out of range, long
distant migrants, such as returning Orchard Oriole, as well as the better
known (or not) examples as mentioned.

Hello HMBird Friends,
I'm posting a picture of a bird with this email, that was sent to me by a fellow HMBirds follower and rehabber. She said she has not been able to post pictures using her HMBirds account, so hoping that I can for her here!
She shared with me a picture from a friend of hers of a white-ish bird seen in the vicinity of Farm-to-Market Road and Smith Road within the last day. She and a couple other birders thought that it could be a Mississippi Kite, but would like some help with ID and if anyone went out to that road intersection to look for it, confirm that it is still there.
Also, a note about birds that find their way into our area from one of our known rehabbers. If you do see a bird that does look unhealthy or is in trouble, especially a bird that might be way out of it's regular range, please don't hesitate to call a rehabber to come out and assess the situation. Our local rehabbers want to help a bird that needs assistance and release it back into the wild in the appropriate habitat of course!
Thanks everyone!

I'm posting a picture of a bird with this email, that was sent to me by a fellow HMBirds follower and rehabber. She said she has not been able to post pictures using her HMBirds account, so hoping that I can for her here!
She shared with me a picture from a friend of hers of a white-ish bird seen in the vicinity of Farm-to-Market Road and Smith Road within the last day. She and a couple other birders thought that it could be a Mississippi Kite, but would like some help with ID and if anyone went out to that road intersection to look for it, confirm that it is still there.
Also, a note about birds that find their way into our area from one of our known rehabbers. If you do see a bird that does look unhealthy or is in trouble, especially a bird that might be way out of it's regular range, please don't hesitate to call a rehabber to come out and assess the situation. Our local rehabbers want to help a bird that needs assistance and release it back into the wild in the appropriate habitat of course!
Thanks everyone!John Loz

Thanks to Andy Mason of Delaware-Otsego Audubon Soc. for this information

Subject: [osbirds] DEC adopts regulations that could affect bird feeding
To: Osbirds <osbirds...>
The NYS Dep't. of Environmental Conservation has announced new regulations
on feeding deer that could impact backyard bird feeders. The regs prohibit
feeding deer--expanding and clarifying an earlier prohibition. The main
purpose is to reduce the likelihood of transmission of Chronic Wasting
Disease, which could have a major impact on the state's deer herd and can
be transmitted when multiple deer are in close proximity. Other reasons
include protecting wildlife habitat, reducing human-deer interaction, and
not artificially raising deer populations.
Where bird feeding comes in are incidental situations where deer congregate
at feeders, potentially creating the effects above. In such cases, DEC
will issue a written warning to the responsible individual asking that the
feeding be halted. If it continues, it will be considered a violation of
the law.
This is similar to regulations addressing bears at bird feeders put in
place a few years ago. Again, if a bear is persistently visiting a bird
feeder (or garbage cans, etc.), a warning is provided and a citation issued
if the situation is not remedied.
For further information, see http://www.dec.ny.gov/press/119082.html.

Subject: [hmbirds] Catskill CBC 12-19-19 |
The Catskill-Coxsackie CBC was held on Thursday, December 19th instead of the historical first Tuesday of the count period, Dec 17th, due to the snowy and icy conditions on that day. It was the right decision to postpone for a couple of days.
All the territories were covered, thanks to the “regular participants” availability and some last minute stand-ins for a couple of territories.
The species count was a little lower than average at 61 species, but the overall number of birds was 13,399 – almost twice the number from last year’s low of 7,657. Weather conditions were similar this season to last, with an early large snowfall and unusually early extreme cold temps.
Like last year, waterfowl species and numbers were lower than average with only the hardiest of birds around – Mallard, Black Duck, Common Merganser, and Canada Goose were represented. A couple of CW duck species were tallied – Bufflehead and Hooded Merganser.
A few oddities/rarities/better than half-hardies were tallied. 2 Hermit Thrushes and an almost breeding-plumage-bright Chipping Sparrow were seen.
Bald Eagles, 48 tallied was on the higher end for the area. Over the last decade, their numbers ranged from a low of 6 in 2009 to a high of 67 in 2018.
An modest increase was the number of Black Vultures tallied, at 6, over the previous year’s 5 birds.
Thanks to everyone who participated. And thanks to Red’s Restaurant – they, too, were flexible in moving our compilation dinner from Tuesday to Thursday.
Happy Holidays and here’s to a Healthy, Happy, and Birdy New Year.
Larry Federman
P.S. Don’t forget to participate in the Breeding Bird Atlas Project!
