[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: [PABIRDS] directions:Conejohela Flats and other recommendations From: Beth Pugliese <bdpugliese(AT)SUSCOM.NET> Date: 1 Sep 2004 9:57am Fellow Birders! I have a friend coming up today from VA. Could someone please post the directions to the Conejohela Flats. I have never been there myself. Any other good spots nearby? Just want to maximize the results if possible! Thanks for your recommendations! Beth Pugliese Hanover, York Co.
[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: [PABIRDS] Migration in Pittsburgh From: "Kate St. John" <KStJohn(AT)WQED.ORG> Date: 1 Sep 2004 11:12am Grackles: For the past few days I've noticed Grackles migrating south over Oakland. Specifically, they've been crossing over our building at 4802 Fifth Ave and pausing in the trees around Central Catholic, then heading south in groups of 10-15. Nighthawks: Saw approx 30 over East Liberty on Aug 23 rising up from the buildings at dusk. Saw 32 high over Squirrel Hill on Aug 29. There were probably more but the trees prevented a clear view. Not migrating, but watching the migrants: Peregrines at Pitt: They've been keeping an eye out for migrants -- either to eat or to guard away from their territory. Red-Tailed Hawks in Oakland: A pair has been perching on the cross at Central Catholic. Also saw one last night on Pitt campus perched in the big Elm between Heinz Chapel and the Cathedral of Learning -- staying low enough that the Peregrines don't care about him/her. Kate St. John, Pittsburgh
[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: [PABIRDS] Blackburnian Warbler - Phila. From: Matthew Pettigrew <MPettigrew(AT)MARKOWITZANDRICHMAN.COM> Date: 1 Sep 2004 12:43pm An immature blackburnian warbler just visited my window sill, which is on the 11th floor of an office building at Broad & Sansom in Center City Philadelphia. It seemed to rest with its eyes closed for a few minutes, then disappeared. Matt Pettgrew Philadelphia
[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: [PABIRDS] Conejohela Flats, Lancaster County 09/01/04 From: Deuane Hoffman <corvuscorax(AT)COMCAST.NET> Date: 1 Sep 2004 4:09pm Howdy All, After not being able to get out on The Flats yesterday I was determined to go today. Unfortunately, today was the start of the early goose season and things sounded a bit like a nightly news broadcast! FYI: The goose seasons for The Flats this year run from 9/1-9/25, 11/15-11/27 and 12/14-1/20. Despite my having to lie low and keep undercover for much of the morning things were good and got better as the day progressed. Hunter activity dropped and water levels fell as the day went on. By the time I left only two trucks were in the lot, as opposed to 10+ when I got there! and the level was down 1 1/2 feet. A nice variety of shorebirds were found, not in great numbers, but in good diversity. Two "nice" birds for the day made the outing worth it! Semip Plover 15, Killdeer 50, Black-bellied plover 2, Am. Golden Plover 4, Whimbrel 7 (all 7 found together feeding in the mud at The Volleyball Net), Gr Yellowlegs 3, Ls. Yellowlegs 9, Spotted Sand 5, Sb dowitcher 2, Sanderling 3, Semip Sand 75, Western Sand 3, Least Sand 150, Baird's Sand 5, Pectoral Sand 8, Buff-breasted Sand 2 (first located on the grassflats at Avocet Point then seen flying into the large grass flats just west of the blind on Gull Island.) Nothing else outstanding just the usual ducks, gulls, terns, long-legged waders and raptors. Things were a bit disturbed due to the hunting and most of the shorebirds were holding tight for much of the day. I did see some small flocks flying about but most of the birds stayed put till early in the afternoon. Take care and Good birding, Raven a.k.a.
