  • Report of the New York State Avian Records Committee for 2007

    Report of the New York State Avian Records Committee for 2007

    REPORT OF THE NEW YORK STATE AVIAN RECORDS COMMITTEE FOR 2007 The New York State Avian Records Committee (hereafter “NYSARC” or the “Committee”) reviewed 154 reports from 2007, involving 79 separate sightings, and an additional two reports from previous years. Reports were received from all over the state, with 31 of the 62 counties represented. The number of reports accompanied by photographs remains high. The Committee wishes to remind readers that reports submitted to eBird, listserves, local bird clubs, rare bird alerts (RBAs) and Kingbird Regional Editors are not necessarily forwarded to NYSARC, and doing so remains the responsibility of the observer. The growing use of the internet and mobile phones has had a very positive impact on the timely dissemination of rare bird sightings and has made it easier for birders to locate birds found by others. The Committee has always held that receipt of multiple independent reports provides a much fuller documentation of the sighting and can in some cases increase the likelihood of acceptance. We therefore urge ALL observers, not just the finder, to submit written reports and/or photographs. The names of the 83 contributors who submitted materials (written reports, photographs and sketches) are listed alongside accepted reports and again at the end of this document. Where possible, the name(s) of the original finder(s) is (are) included in the narratives. Production of this Annual Report is a team effort involving a large number of people. In addition to the contributors mentioned above, several Kingbird Regional Editors have made valued efforts in cajoling reluctant observers into preparing and submitting documentation.

G. FRANZ SAUER, Gainesville, Fla., and EMIL K. URBAN, Madison, Wise. The avifauna of St. Lawrence Island, in the Bering Sea midway between the Old and the New Worlds, and about 400 km south of the Arctic Circle, was admirably summarized to date by Fay and Cade (1959). During our work there with Golden Plovers from 2 June to 28 August 1960 (Sauer, 1962), we made sundry observations on 57 other species that seem worth recounting as complimentary or additional to the Fay and Cade data. These add nesting records for five species to the island. Most of our obser- vations were restricted to the Boxer Bay area, but our records also include bird notes made on overland and boat trips from Boxer Bay to Gambell and to the western margin of Koozata Lagoon (Fig. 1). 171°30' Fig. 1 a, b.

  • GRAY SEAL (Halichoerus Grypus): Western North Atlantic Stock 1998

    GRAY SEAL (Halichoerus Grypus): Western North Atlantic Stock 1998

    December 1998 GRAY SEAL (Halichoerus grypus): Western North Atlantic Stock STOCK DEFINITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RANGE The gray seal is found in the western North Atlantic from New England to Labrador and is centered in the Sabel Island region of Nova Scotia (Katona et al. 1993; Davies 1957). This stock is separated by both geography and differences in the breeding season from the eastern Atlantic stock (Bonner 1981). The western Atlantic stock is distributed and breeds principally in eastern Canadian waters; however, small numbers of animals and pupping have been observed on several isolated islands along the Maine coast and in Nantucket-Vineyard Sound, Massachusetts (Katona et al. 1993; Rough 1995; J. R. Gilbert, pers. comm., University of Maine, Orono, ME). In recent years, a year-round breeding population of approximately 400 animals has been documented on the outer Cape Cod and Nantucket Island (Dennis Murley, pers. comm., Mass. Audubon Society, Wellfleet, MA). Gilbert (pers. comm) has also documented a resident colony in Maine. POPULATION SIZE Estimates of the total western Atlantic gray seal population are not available; however, four estimates of portions of the stock are available for Sable Island, the Maine coast, and Muskeget Island (Nantucket) and Monomoy, (Cape Cod) Massachusetts (Table 1). The 1986 population estimate for individuals on Sable Island, Nova Scotia that are one year old and older was between 100,000 and 130,000 animals (Stobo and Zwanenburg 1990). The 1993 estimate of the Sable Island and Gulf of St. Lawrence stocks was 143,000 animals (Mohn and Bowen 1994). The population in waters off Maine has increased from about 30 in the early 1980's to between 500-1,000 animals in 1993; recently 29-49 pups/year have been recorded in Penobscot Bay (J.

  • Indian Politics on Nantucket

    Indian Politics on Nantucket

    285 INDIAN POLITICS ON NANTUCKET Elizabeth A. Little Nantucket Historical Association According to the historian Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur in 1782 (1971:105), the establishment of a division line from north to south across Nantucket had ended an ancient warfare between the Indians of the eastern end of the island and those of the western end before the European settlement in 1659. On the basis of county records, account books, and the earliest recording of legends, I propose that this tradition did in fact represent Indian politics on Nantucket in the 17th century. From a study of deeds of the early period of re­ corded history after 1659, I have located a boundary between two groups of Indians at Madequecham Valley. Identification of this boundary allows a definition of the political attributes of these two historic groups of Indians. In the opinion of some New England anthropologists, "tribal" is not a good description of the political organization found in south­ eastern New England at the time of contact (Salwen 1978:167-168; Dena F. Dincauze, personal communication). Therefore, I will avoid the word "tribe", and attempt to define the two groups of Indians on Nantucket by the records available to us—legends, deeds, court records, and account books. The following legends give interesting if puzzling evidence for the existence of two different Indian groups on Nantucket: 1) There are two origin myths for the peopling of the island. In one legend, Moshup discovered Nantucket from Cape Cod (Alden 1797), and in the other, Moshup created Nantucket for the people of Martha's Vineyard (Jones 1830:325-330; Homtas 1829).
  • GRAY SEAL (Halichoerus Grypus Grypus): Western North Atlantic Stock

    GRAY SEAL (Halichoerus Grypus Grypus): Western North Atlantic Stock

    May 2015 GRAY SEAL (Halichoerus grypus grypus): Western North Atlantic Stock STOCK DEFINITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RANGE The gray seal is found on both sides of the North Atlantic, with three major populations: eastern Canada, northwestern Europe and the Baltic Sea (Katona et al. 1993). The western North Atlantic stock is equivalent to the eastern Canada population, and ranges from New Jersey to Labrador (Davies 1957; Mansfield 1966; Katona et al. 1993; Lesage and Hammill 2001; DiGiovanni, pers. comm., Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation). This stock is separated by geography, differences in the breeding season, and mitochondrial DNA variation from the northeastern Atlantic stock (Bonner 1981; Boskovic et al. 1996; Lesage and Hammill 2001). There are three breeding concentrations in eastern Canada: Sable Island, Gulf of St. Lawrence, and along the coast of Nova Scotia (Laviguer and Hammill 1993). Tagging studies indicate that there is little intermixing between the two breeding groups (Zwanenberg and Bowen 1990) and, for management purposes, they are treated by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) as separate stocks (Mohn and Bowen 1996). Outside the breeding period, there is overlap in the distribution of animals from the three colonies (Lavigueur and Hammill 1993; Harvey et al. 2008; Breed et al. 2006, 2009, Hammill, pers. comm. DFO, Mont-Joli, Quebec, Canada). In the mid- 1980s, small numbers of animals and pupping were observed on several isolated islands along the Maine coast and in Nantucket-Vineyard Sound, Massachusetts (Katona et al. 1993; Rough 1995: Gilbert et al. 2005). In the late 1990s, a year-round breeding population of approximately 400+ animals was documented on outer Cape Cod and Muskeget Figure 1.
