BEGIN TAPE

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 2nd 2014 at
7pm. The highlights of today's tape are WILSON'S PLOVER, EARED GREBE,
BLACK-NECKED STILT, THICK-BILLED MURRE, MANX SHEARWATER, MARBLED GODWIT,
and such Spring migrants as YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER and PROTHONOTARY
WARBLER, BLUE GROSBEAK and SUMMER TANAGER.

Finally, coming in on the heels of the storm Wednesday night was the first
decent wave of Spring migrants. Thursday's beginning followed by a stronger
push Friday.

The best of the rarities however occurred earlier in the week with a
breeding plumaged EARED GREBE photographed Monday west of the bridge from
Shirley over to Smith Point County Park and then on Tuesday a male WILSON'S
PLOVER seen on the bay side beach just west of the main parking lot at
Cupsogue County Park in Westhampton Dunes. Neither bird has been seen since.

Not as unusual were an apparent THICK-BILLED MURRE picked up from a roadway
puddle at Robert Moses State Park Thursday morning and a BLACK-NECKED STILT
reported flying over the Maryland Monument in Prospect Park early this
morning.

Also enjoyed this week were four nice southern birds that struggle up here
each Spring. A YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER has been present in Central Park
usually south of the Tavern on the Green from Monday through today and
another was in Prospect Park this morning these following one at Hempstead
Lake State Park on Monday. A PROTHONOTARY WARBLER was in Prospect Park
through Monday with another in Central Park today. The PROTHONOTARY at
Fuch's Pond in Northport has not been noted since last weekend but one was
spotted in Canarsie Park on the north side of Jamaica Bay Thursday.
Canarsie Park also produced a BLUE GROSBEAK Thursday with another reported
from Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn today and a SUMMER TANAGER, possibly
two, at Jones Beach West End Thursday were followed by one in Prospect Park
this afternoon.

Otherwise the last two days produced decent numbers of the anticipated
earlier migrants and a few additional surprises. Among the latter were
single AMERICAN BITTERNS in Prospect Park Monday and Central Park today.
Among the warblers over two dozen species have been noted this week mostly
in the last two days including an ORANGE-CROWNED in Central Park today
along with a CERULEAN report and an early BLACKPOLL. Others noted in modest
to reasonable numbers have included BLUE-WINGED, NASHVILLE, NORTHERN
PARULA, YELLOW, MAGNOLIA, BLACK-THROATED BLUE and GREEN, BLACKBURNIAN,
CHESTNUT-SIDED, PRAIRIE, OVENBIRD, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, WORM-EATING,
COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, HOODED, CANADA and AMERICAN REDSTART while continuing
have been BLACK-AND-WHITE, PINE, PALM, YELLOW-RUMPED and even a LOUISIANA
WATERTHRUSH or two.

Other landbirds arriving have featured GREAT CRESTED and LEAST FLYCATCHERS,
EASTERN KINGBIRD, BANK SWALLOW,

Fri., 2 May, 2014:
and outrageously omitted from the list of Warbler species seen by many  
today, in more than one area of Central Park:
Hooded Warbler (singing males)... so make that as many as 26 warbler  
species seen, this day (combined observers!)

it's been a long -& fruitful- birding day.

[nysbirds-l] notes from Manhattan, NYC 5/2

2014-05-02 Thread Thomas Fiore

Friday, 2 May, 2014 - (mostly) Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

yes, it really is May.   There is again excellent movement by migrants  
NOW over much of the mid-Atlantic U.S.A., some coastal areas may well  
benefit further on tonight's steering winds.

At first light in the northwest corner of Central Park (on & near the  
highest ground in the park) there was very evident migration still in  
progress as well as a very strong influx of fresh migrants, with a few  
species seeming to predominate in the first 30-45 minutes of  
daylight.  Gray Catbird, Hermit Thrush, Yellow-rumped [Myrtle]  
Warbler, and White-throated Sparrow were numerous, with the latter 2  
species likely exceeding several thousand in the north end alone.  
There were birds streaming through and attempting to find space to  
settle down, many moving on, some in a southerly or westerly  
direction, & certainly many in a more generally northerly direction  
with some diversion to east or west from true north... & there also  
were, for a species that is usually not found to be as numerous in  
this area as many of the other common Catharus-genus thrushes, an  
impressive number of Wood Thrush. These also seemed, like the  
preceding, and to some extent like most of the early a.m. rush of a  
mix of migrant species, to diminish in number even by just past  
visible sunrise, although perhaps simple dispersal into the park  
assisted that impression.

Within about 2 hours or so, it was fairly clear that a good push of  
birds had moved through & that many had also settled in. Almost all  
areas within the park seemed to have at least some of the more common  
migrant species, and a few areas looked to have many. I made my way to  
the southmost part of the park in good time and saw  a similar scene  
there, with Yellow-rumped Warblers and White-throated Sparrows  
especially numerous; there were small areas where it was possible to  
view several hundred of each species standing in one place, with the  
mix of many other less-common migrants also in the fore- or background  
early on... Perhaps greatly due to the sheer concentrations of  
observers, the Ramble & its outlying areas had a very good day for  
variety and obviously warblers were a big part of that, comprising as  
much as 1/4 of all of the species tallied by the many observers. Many  
specials were found (or re-found, as with the lingering Yellow- 
throated Warbler), & some species new to the park for the year were  
enjoyed by many, while a very few species may have been observed by  
just a few. The day's warbler spp. tally appears to be up to as many  
as 25 species, & just possibly, even a bit more (?)

Those I am aware of were -
Prothonotary Warbler (at the Point, initially)
Yellow-throated Warbler (south of west 65 St. Transverse)
Orange-crowned Warbler (Ramble area)
Blue-winged Warbler (multiple)
Nashville Warbler
Northern Parula
Yellow Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler (more than just a few, so suddenly)
Cerulean Warbler (maybe only one experienced observer?)
Magnolia Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Yellow-rumped [Myrtle] Warbler (very good numbers in a.m.)
Black-throated Green Warbler
Pine Warbler (few)
Prairie Warbler (more than several)
Palm Warbler (multiple)
Black-and-white Warbler (multiple)
American Redstart (several)
Worm-eating Warbler
Ovenbird (multiple)
Northern Waterthrush (multiple, indeed many, including some away from  
water)
Louisiana Waterthrush (running very slightly late; there are some also  
in May)
Common Yellowthroat (more than a few)
Canada Warbler

Also of a sudden, were the arrival of more Veery, a few Swainson's, &  
the aforementioned Wood, plus a good new arrival of (more) Hermit  
Thrush, plus a couple of reported Gray-cheeked-type Thrush for good  
measure.  For Vireos, there were at least the most-regular-in-spring  
five spp. - White-eyed, Yellow-throated, Red-eyed, Warbling, and Blue- 
headed in perhaps about that rising factor of individuals,  
respectively for each species.  OF sparrows, the most common by far  
and a real rival to the ever-populous Yellow-rumped Warbler were White- 
throated Sparrow (it should be noted & noticed too, that these and  
many of the sparrows generally can be seen in their true numbers to  
greatest advantage in extremely early morning, even sometimes before  
first light under park lamps, with far more taking to trees as the day  
comes on, and more & more human & canine disturbances to any & all  
ground-dwelling birds)... also in the sparrow tribe, E. Towhee showed  
a bit of influx, as did Chipping and Swamp Sparrow, and there were  
also some Field, Savannah, and (still few) White-crowned Sparrows.

Scarlet Tanager was seen in very modest number and there was at least  
a rumor of a "summer" tanager, but of that I know almost nothing & am  
unsure if more than one observer had mentioned; Rose-breasted Grosbeak  
came through and there was a sense that a fair number may

[nysbirds-l] Eastern Long Island this morning

2014-05-02 Thread Mike

I made several stops this morning from Calverton to Cupsogue and saw a shadow 
of the bigger flight to the west. FOS Grasshopper Sparrow, Rose-br Grosbeak, 
prairie, ovenbird, yellow, parula, in the Calverton area and a little 
surprisingly, 2 Chimney Swifts flying west at Cupsugue. Also at Cupsogue, FOS 
Common and Roseate Terns and Semi Plovers. Looked for but did not find Wilson's 
Plover and Goldens of any kind!

[nysbirds-l] Heckscher State Park

2014-05-02 Thread Jonathan Stocker

A quick walk through the interior (on the service road behind the maintenance 
yard) of Heckscher State Park from ~1-215 was similar to Luke Ormand's 
experience at Carman's River in that it produced little of note. 

Lone Yellow Warbler, Blue Gray Gnatcatcher and Ovenbird highlighted the walk.  
Numerous Robin, Towhee, Catbird, Chipping and White-throated Sparrow kept the 
overall number of birds high.  Titmouse, Chickadee, Downy Woodpecker and 
Flicker were encountered in small numbers.  Single Red-Tailed Hawk and Osprey 
represented the only raptors encountered.  On the softball fields, a mixed 
flock of Starling, Red-winged Blackbird, and Brown Headed Cowbird were joined 
by a handful of Tree and Barn Swallows flying by.  

We also meet a park employee who mentioned an 'all white' gull that had been 
seen in the parking lots by the bay.  We did not locate the bird, but it might 
be worth a search for anyone who is in the area.  

Overall a quiet day, particularly when compared to locations north and/or west, 
but more general activity than in prior weeks. 

-Jonathan and Lee Stocker

[nysbirds-l] A very brief spring migration stop

2014-05-02 Thread Avery Scott (SkyOfBirds)

I was able to do some brief birding today at Clark Botanic Garden, only a
few minutes from my house. Present there was a bright male PINE WARBLER,
more than one actually, singing plenty and quite loudly. Also there were
1-2 BLUE-HEADED VIREOS. And of course the usual suspects, NORTHERN
CARDINAL, NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD, COMMON GRACKLE, HOUSE FINCH, MOURNING DOVE
on nest, and what appeared to be a CAROLINA WREN on a nest box in which
they have raised young for several years.

[nysbirds-l] Twitter-based alert system for Manhattan birders

2014-05-02 Thread David

There was some discussion earlier this morning on another board about the
two text-based (SMS) systems for Manhattan birding, the NYNYBIRD alerts and
Twitter-based #birdcp.

You can learn about the former at nynybird.wordpress.com.  It is ONLY for
rare bird alerts.

Jeff Bowen and I introduced the #birdcp system in May 2013. It is free, and
if you can send and receive text messages, you can use it.

Use it for any observation or comment (even a general one) you believe may
be of interest to Manhattan birders*.* It is certainly the right choice for
reports of birds not rare enough for NYNYBIRD. But no species are off
limits. It is Twitter, after all — you are free to say what you want. The
system already has nearly 200 users and it can handle practically unlimited
volumes of messages, so do not hesitate to use it when you observe
something interesting.

Because the system works by using a hashtag-based re-tweeting service, it
is essential that you follow these steps below in order to use it:

1) Follow* @BirdCentralPark* from any Twitter account. You will immediately
be able to receive any alerts sent by other birders. Sending alerts
requires another step.

2) Within a day or so, your Twitter account will be added to the
re-tweeting service distribution list and @BirdCentralPark will attempt to
follow your account. If your your account is private, you will need to
remember to explicitly approve @BirdCentralPark as a follower. Otherwise,
there is nothing more for you to do.

3) You can now tweet your own observation by including the hashtag*
#birdcp*anywhere in the message.

[Note for those unfamiliar with Twitter: you can "tweet" by sending a text
message to the Twitter short code 40404. There are also other ways to tweet
-- see Twitter support for more about this.]

That’s all there is to it. There is usually a delay of roughly of one to
three minutes between when you send your tweet and when users of the system
receive it. If you tweet before your account is added to the distribution
list, your tweet will not be re-broadcast at all. When you no longer want
to receive the alerts, simply unfollow @BirdCentralPark.

You can refer to the "Bird Alerts on Twitter" page of my website for a copy
of the above directions along with example texts.

NYC at the Montclair, NJ hawk watch. 

No word on direction of flight or individual characteristics (age, relative 
darkness of bird) but, as always, keep your eyes and the skies.

[nysbirds-l] Stillwell Woods Preserve

2014-05-02 Thread Stella Miller


Splendid morning at Stillwell Woods. Notables included fantastic views of a 
hooded warbler, countless yellow 
warblers, quite a few blue winged warblers, a wood thrush, catbirds, common 
yellow throats, 4 of the  most unbelievably 
cooperative ovenbirds that I have ever had the pleasure of viewing 
(there were about 8 total), a black throated blue, a palm warbler, too many to 
keep track of black and white warblers, a ruby crowned kinglet, a flock of 
savannah sparrows,  a
coopers hawk and numerous barn swallows following afterthe mowers (which were 
kicking up the insects).  The birds were unusually cooperative - one of the 
best days I have had in the preserve.  Referring back to Diane's rose breasted 
grosbeak, I had incredible close views of one at my feeder (first visit ever) 
which is just inches from my kitchen door.  He definitely trumped the pine 
warbler that stayed with me for four months this past winter!

[nysbirds-l] Clay-colored Sparrow - Forest Lawn - Buffalo

2014-05-02 Thread joetf1973

I had a Clay-colored Sparrow at Forest Lawn Cemetery earlier this afternoon. 
The bird was seen briefly near Mirror Lake. There is a large weeping willow 
across the road from the Birge Memorial - on the lake side of the road (the 
Birge Memorial is the round structure of columns near the NE corner of Mirror 
Lake). There are many Chipping Sparrows, and at least one Field Sparrow in this 
area - you may have to look through a lot of other sparrows. This bird is more 
gray-brown, and the median stripe is very distinct.


Dennis Gralak had many warblers earlier - I think I was able to re-find most, 
including: Yellow, Palm, Yellow-rumped, Black-and-white, Nashville, 
Black-throated Blue. 


I believe he had Blue-headed and Warbling Vireos as well. I may have heard Pine 
Siskins, but I am not positive, and I did not see any in the short time I was 
there.

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park - May2nd

2014-05-02 Thread Cesar Castillo

This morning's activity deserves a proper write up.  I began birding the tulip 
tree trail which is an asphalt trail connecting Oakland lake to Alley Pond Park 
forest.  It was nice to hear woodthrush and blue-winged warbler. American 
Redstarts were around also.  I moved on to Alley Pond Park south of the LIE.  
It was a bonanza.  The first half hour yielded 1 Blackburnian, 1 Hooded, and 1 
Worm-eating, as well as the more common warbles, all in good healthy numbers.  
By the time I was done with the park, there were two Hooded warblers (one near 
the entrance by the school and one along the edge of the baseball fields by the 
entrance near the grand central), two blackburnians together foraging near the 
ground the entire time (second found by another birder), 2 Nashvilles, 
Magnolias, Parulas, Prairie's etc... totaling 19. I feel I should report a 
possible Kentucky Warbler, I heard the song of one but it only sang once.  It 
was located in a section of
 the park close to where the grandcentral and Cross Island pkways intersect. 
See list below for highlights (59 species all together!)

Black-and-white Warbler - 50+
Ovenbird - 40+
Prairie Warbler-5

American Redstart - ~20
Blue-winged Warbler - 3
Yellow-warbler -3
Common Yellowthroat-4
Black-throated Green Warbler - 15-20
Yellow-rumped Warbler - 15-20
Northern Parula -15-20
Chestnut-sided Warbler -10-15
Blackburnian Warbler -2
Black-throated Blue Warbler -50-60
Hooded Warbler -2
Worm-eating Warbler-1
Palm Warbler- 20-30
Nashville Warbelr-2
Magnolia Warbler -4
Northern Waterthrush -8

Wood Thrush -7
Catbirds - ~80
Kingbird-5

Warbling Vireo-4
Great-crested Flycatcher-2
Chipping Sparrow-6
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher-7
Savannah Sparrow-4

[nysbirds-l] Carmans river (Suffolk) migrants

2014-05-02 Thread Luke

I spent some time from 10-12 at a property along the Carmans River. Very quiet 
- a belted kingfisher was rattling and towhees abounded but that was really it. 
Did have one thrush though on the ground.

[nysbirds-l] Marine Nature Study Area

2014-05-02 Thread Sy Schiff

I decided to try my luck again and look for migrants and CLAPPER RAILS. As 
usual, there were 10 CLAPPER RAILS displaying on the trails offering great 
views. They flew away when I approached them.  I also found 2 FORSTER’S TERNS 
and 5 RUSTY BLACKBIRDS.  Watch out for the CANADA GOOSE at the end of the trail 
– it was defending it’s nest and tried to bite me.

Great day to be out.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park North End and Morningside Park today

2014-05-02 Thread Lukas Musher

I spent a good bit of time birding the North End of Central Park this
morning.  There was a nice push of migrants last night including a whopping
27 Hermit Thrush, which is quite good for May.  Hermit Thrush were
ubiquitous in the north end, often two or three nearby at any given time.
 A few Wood Thrush and a Veery were also present.

I saw a total of 18 species of warbler including 2 Hooded; 1 about 250
meters upslope and northwest of the ravine, and 1 working the southeast
side of the ravine and singing softly.  Other migrants of note were a
Louisiana Waterthrush (continuing?) at the ravine, a few Northern
Waterthrush, a loudly singing Nashville Warbler, a bright male Blackburnian
Warbler, 2 Prairie Warblers, a Blue-winged Warbler, 2 Least Flycatcher, and
a Yellow-throated Vireo.

I got to Morningside Park late, but it had some birds to offer as well,
including 3 more Hermit Thrush, a late Dark-eyed (Slate-colored) Junco, 8
Warblers, and Blue-headed Vireo.  THe majority of birds were in the
northwestern part of the park.

The species composition at both parks reflects a late push of many early
migrants last night (this observation was actually brought to my attention
by Doug Gochfeld who noticed it while birding in Brooklyn today), but also
the beginning of some nice May diversity.

[nysbirds-l] Battery Park

2014-05-02 Thread Larry Trachtenberg

Having to attend an all day conference on Pine Street (downtown) ugh -- I spent 
45 minutes in battery park this am --- essentially  a construction site at 
present -- only birds of note: 2 wood thrush, 1 b+w warbler, 1 e. Towhee, many 
white throated sparrows and low on the right by castle Clinton, 2 Brant flying 
upriver. Prospect/Central Park it's not -- perhaps why rarely see posts from 
way downtown.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 5/2

2014-05-02 Thread Thomas Fiore

Friday, 2 May, 2014 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

Central Park is hosting a great variety of migrants this morning; at  
least some have been (for most part) just fly-bys and fly-overs, but  
lots of expected and hoped-for species are being seen, with 1,000+  
eyes on them...

The singing (at least occasionally) Yellow-throated Warbler has been  
seen on the east side (as well as west) of the West Park Drive  
(roadway) just a short way south of the 65-66 Street Transverse  
Road**, which is immediately south of historic Tavern on the Green  
restaurant's site. This is not far east from Central Park West...  
(there are not that many other migrant species in the immediate  
vicinity of the Yellow-throated, but the Ramble & many other areas are  
hosting plenty, and the north end of the park had what appeared to be  
at least a modest "fall-out" with certain common May migrants in very  
good numbers. The day promises to be even a bit more productive than  
yesterday, and more reports are very likely. At least 21 species of  
migrant "American" warblers have already been found in Central, before  
9 a.m.

**That transverse Road also happens to be a little "north of certain  
ballfields" - more precisely, the Hecksher softball fields which are  
the southern-most ball-fields in Central Park, 'active' when used by  
their player-permit-holders.

Wherever you are, if you're able to- step out, and look & listen!

Good birding,

Tom Fiore

45 minutes in battery park this am --- essentially  a construction site at 
present -- only birds of note: 2 wood thrush, 1 b+w warbler, 1 e. Towhee, many 
white throated sparrows and low on the right by castle Clinton, 2 Brant flying 
upriver. Prospect/Central Park it's not -- perhaps why rarely see posts from 
way downtown.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park North End and Morningside Park today

2014-05-02 Thread Lukas Musher

I spent a good bit of time birding the North End of Central Park this
morning.  There was a nice push of migrants last night including a whopping
27 Hermit Thrush, which is quite good for May.  Hermit Thrush were
ubiquitous in the north end, often two or three nearby at any given time.
 A few Wood Thrush and a Veery were also present.

I saw a total of 18 species of warbler including 2 Hooded; 1 about 250
meters upslope and northwest of the ravine, and 1 working the southeast
side of the ravine and singing softly.  Other migrants of note were a
Louisiana Waterthrush (continuing?) at the ravine, a few Northern
Waterthrush, a loudly singing Nashville Warbler, a bright male Blackburnian
Warbler, 2 Prairie Warblers, a Blue-winged Warbler, 2 Least Flycatcher, and
a Yellow-throated Vireo.

I got to Morningside Park late, but it had some birds to offer as well,
including 3 more Hermit Thrush, a late Dark-eyed (Slate-colored) Junco, 8
Warblers, and Blue-headed Vireo.  THe majority of birds were in the
northwestern part of the park.

The species composition at both parks reflects a late push of many early
migrants last night (this observation was actually brought to my attention
by Doug Gochfeld who noticed it while birding in Brooklyn today), but also
the beginning of some nice May diversity.

[nysbirds-l] Marine Nature Study Area

2014-05-02 Thread Sy Schiff

I decided to try my luck again and look for migrants and CLAPPER RAILS. As 
usual, there were 10 CLAPPER RAILS displaying on the trails offering great 
views. They flew away when I approached them.  I also found 2 FORSTER’S TERNS 
and 5 RUSTY BLACKBIRDS.  Watch out for the CANADA GOOSE at the end of the trail 
– it was defending it’s nest and tried to bite me.

Great day to be out.

I spent some time from 10-12 at a property along the Carmans River. Very quiet

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park - May2nd

2014-05-02 Thread Cesar Castillo

This morning's activity deserves a proper write up.  I began birding the tulip 
tree trail which is an asphalt trail connecting Oakland lake to Alley Pond Park 
forest.  It was nice to hear woodthrush and blue-winged warbler. American 
Redstarts were around also.  I moved on to Alley Pond Park south of the LIE.  
It was a bonanza.  The first half hour yielded 1 Blackburnian, 1 Hooded, and 1 
Worm-eating, as well as the more common warbles, all in good healthy numbers.  
By the time I was done with the park, there were two Hooded warblers (one near 
the entrance by the school and one along the edge of the baseball fields by the 
entrance near the grand central), two blackburnians together foraging near the 
ground the entire time (second found by another birder), 2 Nashvilles, 
Magnolias, Parulas, Prairie's etc... totaling 19. I feel I should report a 
possible Kentucky Warbler, I heard the song of one but it only sang once.  It 
was located in a section of
 the park close to where the grandcentral and Cross Island pkways intersect. 
See list below for highlights (59 species all together!)

Black-and-white Warbler - 50+
Ovenbird - 40+
Prairie Warbler-5

American Redstart - ~20
Blue-winged Warbler - 3
Yellow-warbler -3
Common Yellowthroat-4
Black-throated Green Warbler - 15-20
Yellow-rumped Warbler - 15-20
Northern Parula -15-20
Chestnut-sided Warbler -10-15
Blackburnian Warbler -2
Black-throated Blue Warbler -50-60
Hooded Warbler -2
Worm-eating Warbler-1
Palm Warbler- 20-30
Nashville Warbelr-2
Magnolia Warbler -4
Northern Waterthrush -8

Wood Thrush -7
Catbirds - ~80
Kingbird-5

Warbling Vireo-4
Great-crested Flycatcher-2

[nysbirds-l] Clay-colored Sparrow - Forest Lawn - Buffalo

2014-05-02 Thread joetf1973

I had a Clay-colored Sparrow at Forest Lawn Cemetery earlier this afternoon. 
The bird was seen briefly near Mirror Lake. There is a large weeping willow 
across the road from the Birge Memorial - on the lake side of the road (the 
Birge Memorial is the round structure of columns near the NE corner of Mirror 
Lake). There are many Chipping Sparrows, and at least one Field Sparrow in this 
area - you may have to look through a lot of other sparrows. This bird is more 
gray-brown, and the median stripe is very distinct.


Dennis Gralak had many warblers earlier - I think I was able to re-find most, 
including: Yellow, Palm, Yellow-rumped, Black-and-white, Nashville, 
Black-throated Blue. 


I believe he had Blue-headed and Warbling Vireos as well. I may have heard Pine 
Siskins, but I am not positive, and I did not see any in the short time I was 
there.

[nysbirds-l] Stillwell Woods Preserve

2014-05-02 Thread Stella Miller


Splendid morning at Stillwell Woods. Notables included fantastic views of a 
hooded warbler, countless yellow 
warblers, quite a few blue winged warblers, a wood thrush, catbirds, common 
yellow throats, 4 of the  most unbelievably 
cooperative ovenbirds that I have ever had the pleasure of viewing 
(there were about 8 total), a black throated blue, a palm warbler, too many to 
keep track of black and white warblers, a ruby crowned kinglet, a flock of 
savannah sparrows,  a
coopers hawk and numerous barn swallows following afterthe mowers (which were 
kicking up the insects).  The birds were unusually cooperative - one of the 
best days I have had in the preserve.  Referring back to Diane's rose breasted 
grosbeak, I had incredible close views of one at my feeder (first visit ever) 
which is just inches from my kitchen door.  He definitely trumped the pine 
warbler that stayed with me for four months this past winter!

[nysbirds-l] A very brief spring migration stop

2014-05-02 Thread Avery Scott (SkyOfBirds)

I was able to do some brief birding today at Clark Botanic Garden, only a
few minutes from my house. Present there was a bright male PINE WARBLER,
more than one actually, singing plenty and quite loudly. Also there were
1-2 BLUE-HEADED VIREOS. And of course the usual suspects, NORTHERN
CARDINAL, NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD, COMMON GRACKLE, HOUSE FINCH, MOURNING DOVE
on nest, and what appeared to be a CAROLINA WREN on a nest box in which
they have raised young for several years.

[nysbirds-l] Heckscher State Park

2014-05-02 Thread Jonathan Stocker

A quick walk through the interior (on the service road behind the maintenance 
yard) of Heckscher State Park from ~1-215 was similar to Luke Ormand's 
experience at Carman's River in that it produced little of note. 

Lone Yellow Warbler, Blue Gray Gnatcatcher and Ovenbird highlighted the walk.  
Numerous Robin, Towhee, Catbird, Chipping and White-throated Sparrow kept the 
overall number of birds high.  Titmouse, Chickadee, Downy Woodpecker and 
Flicker were encountered in small numbers.  Single Red-Tailed Hawk and Osprey 
represented the only raptors encountered.  On the softball fields, a mixed 
flock of Starling, Red-winged Blackbird, and Brown Headed Cowbird were joined 
by a handful of Tree and Barn Swallows flying by.  

We also meet a park employee who mentioned an 'all white' gull that had been 
seen in the parking lots by the bay.  We did not locate the bird, but it might 
be worth a search for anyone who is in the area.  

Overall a quiet day, particularly when compared to locations north and/or west, 
but more general activity than in prior weeks. 

-Jonathan and Lee Stocker

[nysbirds-l] notes from Manhattan, NYC 5/2

2014-05-02 Thread Thomas Fiore

Friday, 2 May, 2014 - (mostly) Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

yes, it really is May.   There is again excellent movement by migrants  
NOW over much of the mid-Atlantic U.S.A., some coastal areas may well  
benefit further on tonight's steering winds.

At first light in the northwest corner of Central Park (on  near the  
highest ground in the park) there was very evident migration still in  
progress as well as a very strong influx of fresh migrants, with a few  
species seeming to predominate in the first 30-45 minutes of  
daylight.  Gray Catbird, Hermit Thrush, Yellow-rumped [Myrtle]  
Warbler, and White-throated Sparrow were numerous, with the latter 2  
species likely exceeding several thousand in the north end alone.  
There were birds streaming through and attempting to find space to  
settle down, many moving on, some in a southerly or westerly  
direction,  certainly many in a more generally northerly direction  
with some diversion to east or west from true north...  there also  
were, for a species that is usually not found to be as numerous in  
this area as many of the other common Catharus-genus thrushes, an  
impressive number of Wood Thrush. These also seemed, like the  
preceding, and to some extent like most of the early a.m. rush of a  
mix of migrant species, to diminish in number even by just past  
visible sunrise, although perhaps simple dispersal into the park  
assisted that impression.

Within about 2 hours or so, it was fairly clear that a good push of  
birds had moved through  that many had also settled in. Almost all  
areas within the park seemed to have at least some of the more common  
migrant species, and a few areas looked to have many. I made my way to  
the southmost part of the park in good time and saw  a similar scene  
there, with Yellow-rumped Warblers and White-throated Sparrows  
especially numerous; there were small areas where it was possible to  
view several hundred of each species standing in one place, with the  
mix of many other less-common migrants also in the fore- or background  
early on... Perhaps greatly due to the sheer concentrations of  
observers, the Ramble  its outlying areas had a very good day for  
variety and obviously warblers were a big part of that, comprising as  
much as 1/4 of all of the species tallied by the many observers. Many  
specials were found (or re-found, as with the lingering Yellow- 
throated Warbler),  some species new to the park for the year were  
enjoyed by many, while a very few species may have been observed by  
just a few. The day's warbler spp. tally appears to be up to as many  
as 25 species,  just possibly, even a bit more (?)

Those I am aware of were -
Prothonotary Warbler (at the Point, initially)
Yellow-throated Warbler (south of west 65 St. Transverse)
Orange-crowned Warbler (Ramble area)
Blue-winged Warbler (multiple)
Nashville Warbler
Northern Parula
Yellow Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler (more than just a few, so suddenly)
Cerulean Warbler (maybe only one experienced observer?)
Magnolia Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Yellow-rumped [Myrtle] Warbler (very good numbers in a.m.)
Black-throated Green Warbler
Pine Warbler (few)
Prairie Warbler (more than several)
Palm Warbler (multiple)
Black-and-white Warbler (multiple)
American Redstart (several)
Worm-eating Warbler
Ovenbird (multiple)
Northern Waterthrush (multiple, indeed many, including some away from  
water)
Louisiana Waterthrush (running very slightly late; there are some also  
in May)
Common Yellowthroat (more than a few)
Canada Warbler

Also of a sudden, were the arrival of more Veery, a few Swainson's,   
the aforementioned Wood, plus a good new arrival of (more) Hermit  
Thrush, plus a couple of reported Gray-cheeked-type Thrush for good  
measure.  For Vireos, there were at least the most-regular-in-spring  
five spp. - White-eyed, Yellow-throated, Red-eyed, Warbling, and Blue- 
headed in perhaps about that rising factor of individuals,  
respectively for each species.  OF sparrows, the most common by far  
and a real rival to the ever-populous Yellow-rumped Warbler were White- 
throated Sparrow (it should be noted  noticed too, that these and  
many of the sparrows generally can be seen in their true numbers to  
greatest advantage in extremely early morning, even sometimes before  
first light under park lamps, with far more taking to trees as the day  
comes on, and more  more human  canine disturbances to any  all  
ground-dwelling birds)... also in the sparrow tribe, E. Towhee showed  
a bit of influx, as did Chipping and Swamp Sparrow, and there were  
also some Field, Savannah, and (still few) White-crowned Sparrows.

Scarlet Tanager was seen in very modest number and there was at least  
a rumor of a summer tanager, but of that I know almost nothing  am  
unsure if more than one observer had mentioned; Rose-breasted Grosbeak  
came through and there was a sense that a fair number may have gone  
on,

2014-05-02 Thread Thomas Fiore

Fri., 2 May, 2014:
and outrageously omitted from the list of Warbler species seen by many  
today, in more than one area of Central Park:
Hooded Warbler (singing males)... so make that as many as 26 warbler  
species seen, this day (combined observers!)

it's been a long - fruitful- birding day.

BEGIN TAPE

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 2nd 2014 at
7pm. The highlights of today's tape are WILSON'S PLOVER, EARED GREBE,
BLACK-NECKED STILT, THICK-BILLED MURRE, MANX SHEARWATER, MARBLED GODWIT,
and such Spring migrants as YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER and PROTHONOTARY
WARBLER, BLUE GROSBEAK and SUMMER TANAGER.

Finally, coming in on the heels of the storm Wednesday night was the first
decent wave of Spring migrants. Thursday's beginning followed by a stronger
push Friday.

The best of the rarities however occurred earlier in the week with a
breeding plumaged EARED GREBE photographed Monday west of the bridge from
Shirley over to Smith Point County Park and then on Tuesday a male WILSON'S
PLOVER seen on the bay side beach just west of the main parking lot at
Cupsogue County Park in Westhampton Dunes. Neither bird has been seen since.

Not as unusual were an apparent THICK-BILLED MURRE picked up from a roadway
puddle at Robert Moses State Park Thursday morning and a BLACK-NECKED STILT
reported flying over the Maryland Monument in Prospect Park early this
morning.

Also enjoyed this week were four nice southern birds that struggle up here
each Spring. A YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER has been present in Central Park
usually south of the Tavern on the Green from Monday through today and
another was in Prospect Park this morning these following one at Hempstead
Lake State Park on Monday. A PROTHONOTARY WARBLER was in Prospect Park
through Monday with another in Central Park today. The PROTHONOTARY at
Fuch's Pond in Northport has not been noted since last weekend but one was
spotted in Canarsie Park on the north side of Jamaica Bay Thursday.
Canarsie Park also produced a BLUE GROSBEAK Thursday with another reported
from Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn today and a SUMMER TANAGER, possibly
two, at Jones Beach West End Thursday were followed by one in Prospect Park
this afternoon.

Otherwise the last two days produced decent numbers of the anticipated
earlier migrants and a few additional surprises. Among the latter were
single AMERICAN BITTERNS in Prospect Park Monday and Central Park today.
Among the warblers over two dozen species have been noted this week mostly
in the last two days including an ORANGE-CROWNED in Central Park today
along with a CERULEAN report and an early BLACKPOLL. Others noted in modest
to reasonable numbers have included BLUE-WINGED, NASHVILLE, NORTHERN
PARULA, YELLOW, MAGNOLIA, BLACK-THROATED BLUE and GREEN, BLACKBURNIAN,
CHESTNUT-SIDED, PRAIRIE, OVENBIRD, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, WORM-EATING,
COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, HOODED, CANADA and AMERICAN REDSTART while continuing
have been BLACK-AND-WHITE, PINE, PALM, YELLOW-RUMPED and even a LOUISIANA
WATERTHRUSH or two.

Other landbirds arriving have featured GREAT CRESTED and LEAST FLYCATCHERS,
EASTERN KINGBIRD, BANK SWALLOW,

Yesterday morning, en-route to our daughter's home in RVC, to help with
preparations for a party to celebrate our #4 grandson (Brady Connors)
making his First Holy Communion, an immature Bald Eagle flew over Sunrise
Highway in Wantagh.,,a nice way to start the day !

Cheers,
