Subject: Summer Pelagic opportunities on NH whale watches
From: tbbirds(AT)comcast.net (Terry Bronson)
Date: 8 May 2008 7:15am
Whale watch season is approaching, which means numerous
opportunities for pelagic birding in NH, ME, and MA waters.
Here are links to the 5 companies I could find that run regularly
scheduled whale watches in NH. Not included are private charters,
or whale watches in Gloucester, MA or Kennebunkport, ME,
which do not get to NH waters.
Granite State Whale Watch, Rye Harbor, begins May 24,
www.granitestatewhalewatch.com
Atlantic Whale Watch, Rye Harbor, begins May 24,
www.atlanticwhalewatch.com
Newburyport Whale Watch, Newburyport, MA, begins May 17,
www.newburyportwhalewatch.com. Many trips venture into NH
depending on where the whales are.
Al Gauron, Hampton Harbor, begins July,
www.algauron.com/whalewatches.html
Eastman's Docks, Seabrook Harbor, begins July,
www.eastmansdocks.com/tours/whalewatch.htm
Generally, these trips are oriented to whales, dolphins, and seals.
Make sure to make your interest in birds known to the crew when
boarding.

Byard's excellent list of Hinsdale birds provides a good opportunity
to remind folks that there will be a Monadnock Chapter field trip
covering the setbacks and the rail trail South at least as far as the
dam this coming Sunday, May 11th.
Meet at the Hinsdale High School parking lot at 6:00AM and bring

Subject: BBC 'EXTREME PELAGIC' BOAT TRIP to CONTINENTAL SHELF 28 JUNE
2008

Posting this for Rick Heil. I hope some of you can make it.

EXTREME PELAGIC' BOAT TRIP - 28 JUNE 2008
Join the BROOKLINE BIRD CLUB on 28 June 2008 for an extensive all day
PELAGIC BOAT TRIP out of HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS to the deep, warm, blue
waters of the CONTINENTAL SHELF in the vicinity of VEATCH and
HYDROGRAPHER CANYONS. These waters are truly the last frontier in
Massachusetts and New England ornithology.
Last season I made a list of possible rarities to find on our trips,
then we set out with the goal of finding a new state record in these
largely unexplored waters. Well we did it, nailing the first New
England and third North American record for MACARONESIAN (LITTLE)
SHEARWATER (Puffinus baroli)! The bird dog Captain Joe of the fast,
100 foot, comfortable 'Helen H' skillfully followed this bird for an
extended period of time, allowing observers good views, and some dozen
photographers on board the ability to obtain excellent documentation.
The 2008 Macaronesian Shearwater event was an excellent start, but there
is more out there waiting for us!
We have never run a June trip before, but June is a very exciting time
to get out there, and may be our best chance for Pterodroma petrels such
as Black-capped, Bermuda, Fea's, and Herald (Trinadade). Other
mega-rarity real possibilities include Cape Verde Shearwater, Bulwer's
Petrel, European Storm-Petrel, or either tropicbird. We are closer to
the breeding grounds of many of these seabirds than is Hatteras, and
there is no reason that they could not also occur here if only we could
get out there more often to find them.
I should mention the more ho-hum possibilities such as Audubon's
Shearwater, Leach's and Band-rumped Storm-Petrel, Great and South Polar
Skua, and Long-tailed Jaeger. However, there are no guarantees, in
life, or on pelagic boat trips.
The marine mammal show can be spectacular (chance for Sperm Whales,
beaked whales, Grampus, etc.) along with other fascinating marine life
(sea turtles-we've had Leatherback and Loggerhead; Mola mola, Hammerhead
and other sharks, flying fish, and giant Manta Rays).
This is a rare opportunity that may not last forever, to explore seas
seldom surveyed by birders, armed with a knowledge of the possibilities
and the skill to achieve them. We still need about 25 more people to
make this trip happen. It would be a shame if we are forced to cancel.
I urge those interested in pelagic birds and mammals, and those seeking
a chance to find and observe the truly rare, to join us on this exciting
cruise.

Subject: Keene Cemetery Hooded Warbler
From: "Kenneth Klapper" <Kenneth_Klapper(AT)antiochne.edu>
Date: 8 May 2008 3:25pm
Hi All,
I saw a female Hooded Warbler in Greenlawn Cemetery about 12:50pm. From
Central Square in Keene go up Washington St, turn right on Greenlawn St
(next to the Franklin School) and go straight into the cemetery. Take
your immediate right and follow until the road starts to curve and go
downhill. On your right will be a fenceline with some thick trees and
shrubs and a small wetland.
There are some apartments behind this area, and you are in a place of
rest, so please be mindful and courteous if you chase this bird. Also,
parking can be limited in the cemetery - some friends were told off by the
police for parking in the travel lanes. If you follow the cemetery road
to the "green sheds" you can park on the grass next to the sheds. This
area can only accomodate a few cars, so you might be better off parking on
the Keene streets and walking in.
Good luck if you try!

Subject: Bird ID in Concord Heights
From: "Stephanie L" <talarivka(AT)gmail.com>
Date: 8 May 2008 3:24pm
Hello,
This morning I heard the most unusual sound, something I cannot even begin
to describe and it certainly did not sound bird-like. A few minutes later I
spooked a black bird that flew into heavier tree cover. It was completely
black, the size of a small crow and had bright orange legs and a yellow
beak. I am hoping someone has an idea as to what it is because my searching
didn't turn up anything.
thanks

Dear Stephanie:
Forgive my suggestion... a European Starling fits all of your criteria,
except size. ...its gold speckles would not necessarily be noticeable in
flight, or in shaded conditions. And, It has an erie/uncanny repetoire of
calls.

Could it possibly be an escaped Mynah? (Another member of the starling family)
They are great mimics, have a huge vocal reportoireand can even "talk". They
used to
be sold as pets, and I believe a few are still kept, though they may have been
banned, as
they've proved to be invasive pests in some areas.

As of Tuesday Night (5/6), about a dozen chimney swifts had arrived in downtown

On Thursday afternoon, roughly the same number were present in Manchester near
Pappy's Pizza on the north end of Elm Street.
