Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge, 15 March 2009 It was at about 1:30 AM on Saturday morning that I startled awake and found myself sitting in an empty subway car in an unfamiliar location. John from A DC Birding Blog , and Patrick from The Hawk Owl’s Nest at Jamaica Bay at 8 AM Saturday morning for some birding.

Snowy Owl – This winter turned out to be horrible for birders hoping to see Bubo scandiacus but pretty good for the birds themselves. Short-eared Owl – Finally, a bird that I saw! My long overdue first Queens Snow Bunting and I survived seeing it at Jamaica Bay ! Snow Bunting – Yes! Snow Bunting – Yes!

The little stiff-tails are almost year-round at Jamaica Bay though almost all leave to breed in the summer and in the depths of winter, when the ponds are almost completely frozen, they tend to head for open water.

Corey encountered a bunch of winners, but 24 Common Redpolls at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, in almost the exact same spot he saw them a couple of years ago, feeding on birch inflorescence by the East Pond, were easily his best birds of the weekend. However, I’ll bestow that honor upon my first local Common Grackles of spring.

I went to the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival in Titusville, Florida. I did finally get Snowy Owls in Queens , even if they did cause a bit of controversy. I also spent a bunch of time on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge and, as usual, managed to see some birds on workdays. Florida Scrub Jay ?

This means that the West Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge goes to Brooklyn, which in past years has made us angry but since Hurricane Sandy this has been less of a loss for the count, seeing as the West Pond is now, sadly, a tidal mud flat, having been breached by the storm surge. Hopefully, we will find a way to get access.

Before dawn we were walking through the dark forest at the Greentree Preserve hoping for a Great Horned Owl or an Eastern Screech-Owl. Our Great Horned Owl ! We later found out that they had not but they had found one at Jamaica Bay later in the day.). Neither would cooperate. Oh well…on to Fort Tilden!

Moved by an unseasonable bout of optimism, I went owl-chasing this weekend and actually encountered what has been a true nemesis bird for me: Northern Saw-whet Owl ! The Snow Geese at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge will soon be winging their way north, so he spent some quality time with them, his best birds of the weekend.
