Find out what Long Island birds can beobserved close to the shore. Learn details about wading birds, waterfowl, and raptors, as well as where to go to observeeach of them.Chris, who was born and raised on Long Island, has been exploring the wilds of the island for over 30 years. As a wildlifephotographer, writer and lecturer, he enjoys bringing public awareness to the diverse wildlife that calls the island home. His passionfor coastal ecology, fishing and the outdoors led him to obtain a BS in Marine Science from LIU/Southampton where he currentlymanages the new Marine Sciences Center at the Southampton campus of Stony Brook University.An award winning member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America and the New York State Outdoor Writers Association,Chris writes monthly columns for On The Water Magazine and The Northforker. Additionally, he is a freelance writer for several otherfishing and wildlife related publications. Although his work tends to focus on marine life, everything in the natural world is fair game.He shares his adventures on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter,Vimeo and YouTube at @fishguyphotos or by visiting his website at www.fishguyphotos.com.COWFISH sits on the west side of the Shinnecock Canal just before it feeds intoShinnecock Bay. We will enjoy New Orleans Style Buffet and waterfront views at thisvery popular restaurant.To get to COWFISH coming east on Montauk Highway from Hampton Bays, look forthe sign for Canoe Place Road. Turn right, look for the sign for COWFISH, it comesup quickly, and then make a quick left. Follow the signs down the winding road.See page 6 to make your reservations for the Annual Dinner Celebrating Birding!
THE OSPREY September/October 2017Page 2The President’s CornerBird Communication!Byron YoungOn June 26th I took the hike towardthe breach at Old Inlet looking forPiping Plover and Least Tern chicks.Much of the upper barrier beach westof the Ranger Station to the breach iscovered with symbolic fencing indicatingthat there are nesting Piping Plovers andLeast Tern using the area. At last reportingthere were 10 pairs of Piping Plovernesting in the area and over 70 pairs ofLeast Terns. In addition, there was onevery noisy family of Oystercatchers inthe area close to the breach. A very busyplace!My first encounter was with a PipingPlover mom and her chick about a miledown the beach. I spotted mom rightaway but the baby was not so easy tospot as it blended in with the beachalmost perfectly. I was intrigued by thecommunication between mom and thechick. It seemed she kept up a constantchatter with her young one, who like allkids wanted to explore. The ResearchTeam from Virginia Tech had tagged boththe mom and baby, so that their travelsfrom Smith Point can be recorded.I encountered at least one other PipingPlover family before I approached theLeast Tern colony. Here was a completelydifferent level of communication. Firstoff, they were unhappy with me being ontheir beach buzzing over my head andest ofJust W neOBuoyyelling who knows what. It took me sometime, but I began to see the young whoagain blended in with their surroundingsuntil they could not sit still any longer.As I stood there watching theinteractions, it dawned on me that therewere differences in communication andinteractions between the Least Terns andthe Piping Plovers and their babies. In allof the confusion of the Least Tern colonyI wondered how a mother or fatherwould find their respective young. Thisthought occupied my mind on the walkback.Upon returning home I conducted aGoogle search on the subject of colonybird communications. This broad questionquickly took me to Antarctica and thepenguin colonies. While interesting, thisdid not address my question. Refining mysearch I began to find more informationon Tern colonies and finally found anarticle entitled “Individual AuditoryRecognition in the Least Tern (Sternaalbifrons) by Lynn J. Moseley, Dept ofZoology, University of North Carolina,published in “The Auk 96:31-29, January1979. The author concluded based uponsonogram analysis of recorded calls thatthe first sounds made varied significantlyamong individuals enough to presumethat the first note is used to convey anindividual identity.is looking for its mate or its young.However, while observing the LeastTern flock on June 26th a curious eventhappened. Birds were coming and goingwith food for their young at randomintervals. Many birds were sitting on thebeach apparently loafing when suddenlythe bulk of the flock lifted off andheaded out over the ocean.Very quicklythereafter they began returning with smallfish for their young. How did they knowthat there was a school of fish nearby,did one of the previously returningbirds communicate the presence of anabundance of food nearby? I could notfind any information regarding this level ofcommunication. However, it is my beliefthat our feathered friends have a levelof communication that we have yet tounderstand. Why else is a Tern colony sonoisy when hanging out on the beach orthe scoter flocks so noisy while feedingin the surf off Montauk? What are theCatbirds talking about as they flit about inthe underbrush. Blue Jays sure can makea number of alarm calls as they patrolthrough the forest canopy or at least thatis what it seems like.I would be interested to hear what othersthink about this topic; maybe this couldbe a Nature Chat at one of our upcomingmeetings.Good Birding! oOK, that works for me when an individualTHE FARMERS MARKET FARM STANDProprietor: John Carson76 Montauk Highway, Westhampton, NY 11978 631.375.0612Featuring Blue Duck Bakery Breads & PiesAnd the finest-fresh seasonal local produce — including our own hand-pressed lemonade,fruit jams, raw honey, maple syrup, chowder, fruit and savory tarts.

THE OSPREY September/October 2017Page 5Study Shows the Greatest Threat to Eastern Forest Birdsis Habitat Loss on Wintering GroundsFindings may help set conservation prioritiesIthaca, NY—Within the next few decades,human-caused habitat loss looms as thegreatest threat to some North Americanbreeding birds. The problem will bemost severe on their wintering grounds,according to a new study published todayin the journal Global Change Biology. By theend of this century, the study’s authorssay predicted changes in rainfall andtemperature will compound the problemfor birds that breed in eastern NorthAmerica and winter in Central America.“This is really the first study to measurethe combined impact of climate changeand land-use change over a bird’s fullannual cycle,” says lead author Frank LaSorte at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.“Typically, studies tend to focus on thebreeding season. If you do that, you’remissing the real story which is inherentlydynamic and complex.”Migrant wintering grounds are vitallyimportant because the birds spend agreater proportion of the year in theseplaces.“We found the species we studied spendup to 60 percent of the year on theirwintering grounds in Central America,where they occur in higher numbers anddensities,” says La Sorte. “That meansmore individuals of more species are likelyto be exposed over a longer period oftime to habitat loss as people continue toconvert forests to cropland or grassland.”The scientists ran dozens of scenariosto predict what the future might looklike for 21 species, most of themflycatchers, vireos, and warblers. They usedobservations that volunteers entered intothe eBird database from 2004 through2014 to establish where and in whatdensity the species are found throughoutthe year. Then, they layered in modeledclimate change projections (temperatureand rainfall) and habitat data (land-usechanges and the location of protectedareas).The study finds loss of wintering habitatin the near future will likely be magnifiedRose-breasted Grosbeak, one of the birds likely to be affected by changes to its wintering grounds. Photoby David Brezinski, USFWSby the long-term effects of climate change.By the end of this century the studyspecies are expected to encounter severalsignificant changes:nGreater warming on the northernbreeding grounds and during autumnmigrations—a surface temperatureincrease of about 9 F (5 C) withuncertain consequences for breedingand migration success; a smallerincrease of about 5.4 F (3 C) isprojected for their wintering grounds.n Lessrain on the nonbreedinggrounds: a projected decline of 20percent or more during the summerwould reduce available habitat and foodfor birds arriving after fall migration.n Morerain on the breeding grounds,nearing 25 percent more during thewinter on their breeding grounds. Thiscould enhance vegetation growth andincrease insect densities for returningspring migrants—a positive trend if thebirds arrive at the right time.By examining the birds’ full life cycle, LaSorte points out, we learn that birds facea host of challenges all year long—andthe intensity of those challenges shifts,depending on whether the birds arebreeding, wintering, or migrating. Shortterm conservation action will be mosteffective if it’s targeted to the times andplaces birds face their biggest threats.Knowing what may lie ahead in the longterm underscores the need for actionright now to offset the impact of climatechange.“Human activities are placing pressureon bird populations from many differentangles at varying intensities,” says La Sorte.“Birds are responding with tools designedto function under gradual environmentalchange—but how effective this will beunder rapid change occurring from manydifferent sources is not well understood.”Reference:La Sorte, F.A., D.
