10,000 Birds
JANUARY 7, 2013
I had some goals for this year as well, goals which I laid out in the introduction to my 2012 year list. I came up just short of reaching 1,100 Birds on my overall World Life List , clocking in at 1,096, not a bad increase of 48 from the beginning of 2012 when I started at 1,048. January 2012 started off with a bang.

On October 29 th 2012, “superstorm” Sandy devastated the east coast of the USA, affecting states from Florida to Maine, with severe damage in New Jersey and New York. Damage to New York included floods caused by the storm surge, power cuts and disruption to transport, including the loss of the railway line that crosses Jamaica Bay.

Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was his first Osprey in New York State this year, seen perched on a nesting platform at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in early morning fog on Saturday. Watching a pristine Hairy Woodpecker working away at the tender core confirmed my decision. What was your best bird of the weekend?

I saw my first migratory Eastern Phoebe of 2019 this morning at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. 2012 – 15 March. Actually, I saw my first five phoebes there, perhaps the most I ever saw in one location for my first of the season. For me, it is now officially spring! 2019 – 17 March. 2018 – 30 March. 2017 – 12 March.

Corey will be in Queens, probably tracking rarities in real time at the East Pond of Jamaica Bay. I’ll be driving from one Great Lake to another this weekend and will have to settle for highway birds. How about you? Where will you be this weekend and will you be birding? Share your plans in the comments below.

I saw my first migratory Eastern Phoebe of 2017 this morning, 12 March, at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, thus kicking off spring for myself over a week early. 2012 – 15 March. It’s also the earliest I’ve had over the last ten years. Below are my first dates for the last ten years if you are really interested in such things….

But on his boat ride around lower New York Harbor and Jamaica Bay on Sunday he found himself appreciating the Herring Gulls more than any other species. From Orange-crowned Warbler to Razorbill , from Lapland Longspur to Red-necked Grebe , from Northern Shrike to Gray Catbird , Corey had a heck of a weekend. Is he becoming a larophile?
