While the winds and weather systems have conspired to keep the bulk of migrating birds west of New York City we have seen many of local breeders show up as expected. And, of course, we always have our resident birds as well as the long-staying winter visitors, so it is not as if there is no birding to be done.

They are a colonial breeder, nesting only in western Alaska, on a narrow band of coastal sedge meadows 2. Of course, all birds in these photos are in non-breeding plumage. Among the several species we did see on the jetty however, is the Black Turnston e ( Arenaria melanocephala ). Click on photos for full sized images.

Interestingly, according to BirdLife International , which lists the Glaucous Gull as a Species of Least Concern because of its large range and population, the populations found in the western Palearctic tend to remain near nesting grounds year-round so it is essentially only the North American breeders that wander during the winter months.

So I did… When you’re offering reasons to pursue a particular course of action, more is often better. Once it comes time to actually explain how to pursue that course of action, however, your design imperative changes. Push every button you can find and hope that some of them stick.

Probably one of the most interesting things about these little birds is that they are cooperative breeders. I will try to keep an eye on this nest which is right next to a paved walking trail around the lake and try to get more photos of the nesting activity as the season progresses, without disturbing the birds of course.

Feel free to insert your own French joke here (though of course in the US, restaurants now serve Freedom Frogs rather than French Frogs). Of course, hearing about this immediately makes me think I have to show the photo of a Yellow-eyed Babbler below. This included recording a total of 77,760 minutes of video.

As always, the woods around the marsh were busy with breeders setting up shop. I said good-bye to Wurtsboro and headed east and then north, making my way to the Town of Wallkill in Ulster County, in particular, to Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge where I hoped to see Grasshopper Sparrows and other grassland breeders.
