[nysbirds-l] Red & White-winged Crossbills in the Adirondacks & more

[Joan Collins]

The Red Crossbill irruption is widespread and I encounter them just about
everywhere I go.  The White-winged Crossbill irruption is the second largest
I've observed since living in the Adirondacks (the largest was the 2000-2001
irruption).  Crossbills are paired up and singing.  I've found them in
locations in Hamilton, Essex, Franklin, and St. Lawrence Counties.  Purple
Finches are also singing.  Pine Siskins continue to be abundant and American
Goldfinches are still around.

 

Ruffed Grouse and Wild Turkeys have been regularly displaying since January.
Twenty-seven Wild Turkeys live outside our home - when it is cold, they
roost and just wait for cracked corn.  They often come up the back steps and
look in our glass door when we don't get the corn out on time.  They have
also become comfortable hanging out on our front porch to eat the birdseed
that gets dropped - and some fly up to the porch roof and walk up to my
office window to look in at me!  They regularly peck our cars and they
gobble when a car drives in.  They have come to associate cars driving in
with being fed (usually by me), but they are not smart enough to learn
specific cars like a Gray Jay (& all other corvids) can.  Similar to dogs
barking, their gobbles over the baby monitor alert us to visitors!

 

Gray Jay pairs are becoming territorial.  I've only found a pair at Sabattis
Bog the past few days (down from the 6 to 8 birds during most of the
winter).  Bald Eagles are very active (lots of reports about the eagles in
Long Lake over the past week).

 

Recent sightings:

 

2/21/18 Long Lake & Tupper Lake (Hamilton & Franklin Co.)

 

I had to be in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid today, so my trip through
Sabattis Circle Road was quick.  I found 6 Gray Jays - 3 pairs at 3
different locations (1 pair along Route 30).  A Red Crossbill sang near the
outlet of Little Tupper Lake and White-winged Crossbills called.  Both
species called at Sabattis Bog.  Two Pileated Woodpeckers called - one was
chased by a Merlin.  An adult Bald Eagle was observed flying over
Kickerville Road in Long Lake and a juvenile Bald Eagle was observed on
Tupper Lake.

 

2/20/18 Long Lake

 

Two pairs of Red Crossbills gritted in the road near the triangle
intersection near the Little Tupper Lake inlet and outlet.  This was a rainy
day so I didn't linger!

 

2/19/18 Long Lake

 

An adult Bald Eagle was observed in Long Lake.  A Boreal Chickadee called
along Route 30.  Four Red Crossbills were found at the inlet of Little
Tupper Lake.

 

Out boreal birding on February 17 & 18, 2018 we found the following species
by visiting locations in Long Lake, Tupper Lake, Piercefield, Newcomb,
Minerva, and North Hudson (Hamilton, Franklin, St. Lawrence, and Essex
Counties):

 

Ruffed Grouse - Horseshoe Lake Rd. and Sabattis Circle Road

Rock Pigeon

Hairy Woodpecker - Tahawus Road

Black-backed Woodpecker - 3! (a pair at a marshy area along Sabattis Circle
Road, and a male at Sabattis Bog along the same road)

Pileated Woodpecker - several

Gray Jay - at least 10! (Route 30 in Long Lake, Round Lake Trailhead and
Sabattis Bog along Sabattis Circle Road - the tailless Gray Jay was at the
bog and still tailless!)

Blue Jay - many, over-wintering for the 3rd year in a row

American Crow - over-wintering for the first time

Common Raven

Black-capped Chickadee

Boreal Chickadee - at least 4 in the Sand Lake Marsh vicinity along the
Blueridge Road (town of North Hudson)

Red-breasted Nuthatch

Golden-crowned Kinglet - 1 heard near Sabattis Station and a likely bird
along the North Point Rd.

European Starling - Tupper Lake (no starlings or Rock Pigeons in Long
Lake..yet anyway!)

Purple Finch - many

Red Crossbill - everywhere!

White-winged Crossbill - many at Long Lake locations

Pine Siskin - large irruption

American Goldfinch - many

American Tree Sparrow - at Sabattis Bog (first winter that several have been
observed over-wintering in Long Lake and Newcomb locations - including my
home!)

Dark-eyed Junco - at feeder areas (many overwintered this year, which is
unusual)

 

Lunch was at Larkin's in Tupper Lake on Saturday and we had lunch at the
Adirondack Interpretive Center in Newcomb on Sunday (with Adirondack Trading
Post paninis delivered by my husband George!).

 

Twenty-one people participated in the NYS Ornithological Association's
Winter Weekend on February 10 & 11, 2018.  Thanks to Kathy Schneider for
organizing the weekend!  Matt Young gave a fascinating presentation on Red
Crossbill types on Saturday afternoon and we had a fun group dinner at the
Adirondack Hotel that night.  Matt and I led the field trip on Saturday and
Mary Beth Warburton co-led with us on Sunday.  We found the following 21
species by visiting areas in Long Lake (Route 30, Sabattis Circle Road, and
North Point Road), Newcomb locations, Minerva (Boreas River Bridge on the
Blueridge Road), and the Sand Pond Marsh area in North Hudson:

 

Wild Turkey

Downy Woodpecker

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 2/21 & prior days

[Thomas Fiore]

Wednesday, 21 February, 2018
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

A fairly rare occurrence for Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City) at least in 
the modern era, a drake REDHEAD appeared there today at the reservoir, present 
from at least early morning & still there in afternoon; the reservoir has 
otherwise had a modest variety of waterfowl in recent weeks, which has included 
some Scaup - possibly of both species, although some definitively Lesser, over 
a week ago & not lingering; as well as more-regular Ring-necked Ducks (up to 6, 
and most recently just 1 pair), a few Green-winged Teal (to at least 3 days 
ago, not noticed since) and the much more regular Gadwall, N. Shovelers, Ruddy 
Ducks, a smattering of American Black Ducks, Buffleheads, Hooded Mergansers, 
and Wood Ducks as well as usual year-round Mallards; Canada Geese had been in 
the 650-700+ numbers on some days earlier in February just at the reservoir, 
now diminished; and the Horned Grebe, Red-throated Loon, and Great Cormorant of 
earlier this winter seemed to have moved on from the reservoir, while 
Double-cresated Cormorants have some days numbered up to six or more.  Also 
visiting have been a Great Blue Heron, and up to 1,500 gulls of what appeared 
to be just the “usual 3” winter species: Ring-billed, American Herring, & Great 
Black-backed Gulls. Plus American Coots in single-digit no’s. as is usual.

There’s been a bit of movement, local & maybe otherwise in recent days, with 
American Woodcock appearing at least on one day (Saturday) and a number of 
fly-by Turkey Vultures, perhaps peaking recently on Monday, with up to twenty 
or more, most heading in a northerly direction (also there have been some in 
recent weeks that may appear to be going in any of the directions on the 
compass);  a very few possible / potential raptor migrants, such as 
Sharp-shinned & (more) Cooper’s & Red-tailed Hawks, but these, esp. the latter 
2 spp. just as likely local-residents of the nearby metropolis or its parks, or 
simply wintering in the area still.  Also sightings of the “carnivorous-parrot” 
type, a.k.a. American Kestrel, Merlin (less often) and Peregrine, which with 
the exception of Merlin could be local residents.

Passerine arrivals & (mostly) fly-throughs have been mainly, or most-obviously 
of blackbirds, including Red-winged Blackbirds (over 100, mainly males, today 
passing the northern edge of the park before 7 a.m.), Common Grackles (some 
hundreds on several days in the prior week+) and at least a very few Rusty 
Blackbirds, and also a couple of Brown-headed Cowbirds (a few of these latter 2 
spp. perhaps partially overwintering in the park, although not consistently 
noticed).  There have been a small (fewer than 50) number of American Robins in 
the park much of the winter, these both in the areas south of, and some well 
north of, the reservoir. [Red] Fox Sparrows are still in the park, with up to a 
dozen through the entire park, most often mixing with flocks of White-throated 
Sparrows, and this past month, esp. evident in the Ramble. Slate-colored Juncos 
have been a bit more regular all winter long with as many as 60+ in discrete 
flocks through the past 2 months, especially evident at Cedar Hill, as well as 
a few areas in the n. end of the park.

It’s a record-breaking 77 degrees in Manhattan this winter’s day; there is some 
food hatching-out for insectivorous birds…

good ethically-minded birding,

Tom Fiore
Manhattan

In stand of spruce trees just north of the feeders on the west side of the

[nysbirds-l] White-winged Scoters Lake Ronkonkoma Suffolk Co.

[Patricia Lindsay]

  There is a pair of White-winged Scoters resting and preening on Lake 
Ronkonkoma. The Red-necked Grebe continues, and there is a Pied-billed 
Grebe as well. These in addition to the large number of Hooded 
Mergansers and even larger number of Common Mergansers that continue 
here.

Shai Mitra arrived after I left and just called to report that 
there are also three Greater Scaup, and the two Red-throated Loons 
continue.

[nysbirds-l] In memorium: The Carolina Parakeet

[Andrew Block]

This email is in memorial to the Carolina Parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis) on 
the 100th anniversary, today 2/21/18, of its official extinction.  Since it 
doesn't get the acknowledgement it deserves as did the Passenger Pigeon on its 
anniversary, I wanted to at least say something in memorium.  
Not only is it my favorite bird, but it was an extraordinary species that was 
our only resident Psittacine and a unique and gorgeous animal.  What a wonder 
it must have been to have seen the huge flocks of thousands zipping through the 
trees of the great southern swamps back in the day.  Or to have them roosting 
under the eaves of your home, building, or shed for the evening.  I can only 
imagine how cool it was to see them at dusk flying to their roosts by the 
dozens into large cavities of sycamores, bald cypresses, and other giants of 
the time. 
Every time I see a remnant monstrous tree in the south I imagine how many 
parakeets might have been feeding on its fruits or roosting in one of its 
gnarled cavities.  When I see flocks of introduced Monk Parakeets in the 
northeast I pretend they are a flock of Carolina Parakeets, being around the 
same size and mostly the same color.  They occasionally appeared this far north 
as vagrants to the few who actually appreciated them for the wonderful birds 
they were.
When I go to a museum or see an article, photo, or book (the few that are out 
there), I snap it up to add to my collection of memorabilia of this parakeet.  
If only zoos back in the 19th century had tried to save them by breeding them 
in captivity, since they bred readily, we could most likely have had them 
coursing through our forests today.
May they rest in piece and nobody forget them,
