Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge NYC

Please be careful when visiting the East Pond. If you are not sure how to navigate the shoreline ask before visiting. @birdingdude has a map pinned to his timeline outlining how to navigate the pond. Enjoy the birds.

@Richard36971987 @lotuswinnielee @birdingdude noted that on one of his many tweets re: the East Pond birds.

@lotuswinnielee @BirdQueens @JBWRNYC FWI: the Hudsonian we got Thursday is NOT the same one I saw last Wednesday - different facial makings. I will post later this afternoon.

Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge @JBWRNYC : BALLERINA IN WATER, the American Avocet On Thursday 8/4/2022. What a beauty!! #americanavocet #avocet #birdwatching #wildlife #wildlifephotography

@ElizabethP501 @MPanda73 @BirdQueens It is still way too early to access the East Pond. If you are not following @birdingdude you may want to consider it. He posts regularly on the East Pond water level status.

@MPanda73 @BirdQueens @JBWRNYC Water is still high to go in the south East pond but I didn’t need boots to go through the path and have a look

#GlossyIbis today at Jamaica bay south of east pound @JBWRNYC

@ElizabethP501 Very nice! Looks like it’s carrying food back to young ones.

Due to an issue with the fire detection and suppression system, the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center (including restrooms) will be closed until further notice. @birdingdude @BirdQueensNYC #jamaicabay #queens

@songbird2me @sara_aguia @AndrewEastwick Well done! You identified both Owls correctly.

@sara_aguia @AndrewEastwick @JBWRNYC That’s Augie their Eurasian Eagle Owl in your picture. Larger than a GHO. Similar in shape and color but notice the orange eyes. What a beauty. Glad you got to see her.

I went today to the 4TH ANNUAL RAPTORAMA! FESTIVAL AT JAMAICA BAY @JBWRNYC. Glad to see all these raptors, none of them can be released to the wildlife again because of their injures, but happy to know they got a second chance❤️‍🩹

@AndrewEastwick @sara_aguia Yes. There were two. See if you could identify them from the video.

@sara_aguia @JBWRNYC Were there any owls??

@opie233 @jhonny_2003 Over saturation of photo processing??

@jhonny_2003 @JBWRNYC Why is the beak so red? 😂

@Mike_chen2_bird @FrankNetterFan @mannietee420 @wildbirdfund @birdingdude FYI…

@FrankNetterFan @mannietee420 @wildbirdfund @JBWRNYC That sounds like an interesting story I’d like to hear. Is this a White-Rumped Sandpiper?

@Luo_Qing @birdingdude Ha! I recognize that mud 😂😂

@birdingdude @JBWRNYC 😂 Yep went up to North Point to see the Black Terns!

Fantastic day of birding on the East Pond @JBWRNYC but very glad @birdingdude persuaded the NPS to provide a boot-washing station! 🤪

@Mike_chen2_bird Are you suggesting that if they are vaccinated everything is ok then?

@JBWRNYC How do you know they aren’t vaccinated?

The @NYCAudubon ‘s 16th Annual #ShorebirdFestival was held on Saturday 8/14/2021 at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge @JBWRNYC and I had the pleasure of meeting the tour leader Kevin Karlson, extremely nice man and I will keep in touch with him. Here are some of the attendees….

@BirdQueens @birdingdude @Lucent508 @ManometCenter thoughts on the ID?

@jhonny_2003 Nice adult Spotted Sandpiper!

#SpottedSandpiper @JBWRNYC

This Mandarin Duck still at the Marsh of north Laval today.

@Lucent508 @katehinds I found the Warbler. My impression is of a Nashville.
