[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 5/20-21

[Thomas Fiore]

Friday & Saturday, 20 & 21 May, 2016
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

Many of the individual migrants present in the park have moved on,  
however plenty of species are still present.  At least 24 species of  
warblers continued thru the 2 days, with more than 20 still present on  
Saturday.  These continued to include Cape May, Bay-breasted, Hooded  
(& Mourning to at least Friday in the north end), as well as rather  
late Palm Warbler, and also Worm-eating Warbler both to Saturday.   
Blackpoll Warblers have increased to perhaps 4 or 5 times the numbers  
of that species a week ago, & still very common are American Redstart,  
Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat, and perhaps above all, Magnolia Warbler.


Summer Tanager has been continuously present but there have been at  
least 2 differently-plumaged individuals in the Ramble the past 4  
days, & others may have been seen in other parts of the park in  
addition. Scarlet Tanagers also are still about, with females lately  
predominant.  Sparrows are not common the past 2 days (discounting  
House, which is wholly unrelated to any N. American sparrow) but some  
Chipping, Song, Swamp, White-throated, & Lincoln's have continued.   
Also still about, E. Towhee which might be simply late but also could  
be on territories. Indigo Buntings continue with both males & females  
and there were a couple of Orchard Orioles in a location where they'd  
nested in the past, in Central. Many Baltimore Orioles are on  
territories by now. Thrushes are predominately Swainson's but still a  
few Hermit have lingered along with Veery, & some Wood, the latter  
also nesting with off-&-on success in Central; Gray-cheeked & its  
close cousin are also ongoing now, although the "other" rarer species  
is mainly just presumed, since some definitely pass thru NYC each  
spring & fall.  Vireos still include a few late Blue-headed, as well  
as Yellow-throated, & the more-usual Warbling & Red-eyed, each nesting  
in Central, as well as some still passing thru.  Rose-breasted  
Grosbeak also is still moving thru, and there are increasing numbers  
of Cedar Waxwings over the past week, some of which also nest.   
Flycatchers include ongoing Olive-sided, and some Empidonax [genus],  
as well as modest no's. of E. Wood-Pewee (which nests in very low  
density), plus Great Crested Flycatcher & E. Kingbird, each of which  
nest, the latter much more visibly.  A very few Ruby-crowned Kinglets  
have continued, which is getting quite late by now.


The reservoir has continued to host a male Bufflehead & swallows of  
the 2 most-usual species, each nesting, &/or including lingerers...  
more Great Egrets & Black-crowned Night-Herons are using the reservoir  
lately to feed, some have seen up to 15 or more of each, if on the  
running track at first light (ie, before 5 a.m. now).


Plenty more of migration still to come along...

Good birding & quiet observing to all,

Tom Fiore
Manhattan

Re: [nysbirds-l] NYC Area RBA: 20 May 2016

[redknot]

Doesn't the fact the Chucks-will's-widow was flushed a "few times before 
disappearing"
suggest it was being unduly disturbed and perhaps even harassed?

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 20th 2016
at 10pm. The highlights of today's tape are WILSON'S PHALAROPE,
CHUCK-WILL'S-WIDOW, LEAST BITTERN, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK,
PROTHONOTARY WARBLER, YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER, GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER,
MOURNING WARBLER, PHILADELPHIA VIREO, BICKNELL'S THRUSH and RED-HEADED
WOODPECKER.

A good week with very good variety but no exceptional rarities. Among the
non-passerines probably the most excitement surrounded the LEAST BITTERN
that remained in decent view perched in a tree last Sunday in Prospect Park
Brooklyn and last Sunday a male WILSON'S PHALAROPE, the less colorful sex
in Phalaropes, was spotted in the Captree marsh west of the Robert Moses
Causeway. Also present there among the fairly large assemblage of
shorebirds were 4 WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS and 2 STILT SANDPIPERS were seen
there again Tuesday. Last Saturday at Jones Beach West End a
CHUCK-WILL'S-WIDOW was flushed a few times before disappearing and
interestingly an EASTERN WHIP-POOR-WILL was found singing there Monday
evening. Finishing the non-passerines last Sunday single RED-HEADED
WOODPECKERS were seen at Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn and on the north
fork at the Ruth Aleva Preserve in East Marion and 2 continue at
Willowbrook Park on Staten Island.

Last Saturday single SUMMER TANAGERS were found at Jones Beach West End at
Marcy Woods south of Belmont Lake State Park and at Long Gardens in Stony
Brook and in the days following at Kissena Park in Queens Sunday and then
on Wednesday in Central Park and at the Rye Nature Center in Westchester.
The Marcy Woods bird was still there today. A BLUE GROSBEAK was spotted at
Connetquot River State Park last Sunday but could not later be relocated.

A PROTHONOTARY WARBLER was found at the Bronx Zoo last Saturday and another
appeared at Clove Lakes Park on Staten Island Sunday and Monday and today
one was reported appearing briefly at the Forest Park waterhole. A female
GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER visited Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn last Saturday
and a female CERULEAN WARBLER was spotted in Central Park yesterday. A
MOURNING WARBLER in Forest Park last Saturday and Sunday was followed by
others in Central Park from Sunday on, at Green-wood Cemetery Sunday, at
Prospect Park Tuesday and Wednesday and at Southards Pond Park in Babylon
yesterday. KENTUCKY WARBLERS appeared suddenly on Thursday with 2 in
Prospect Park and another in Central Park and one was at Valley Stream Park
today. YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS continue in Connetquot River State Park and
at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum. Otherwise among the 33 species of warblers
in the region have been some WORM-EATING, TENNESSEE, HOODED, CAPE MAY,
BAY-BREASTED, BLACKBURNIAN and WILSON'S as well as the more common species
at this point in the migration plus one or two late lingering species like
LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH and PALM.

Among the vireos 6 species occurred this week including a rather uncommon
Spring visit by a PHILADELPHIA noted in Central Park at least to Wednesday.
Flycatcher variety has increased thanks to the arrival of some late season
empidonax species starting with ACADIAN in Green-wood Cemetery last
Saturday, ALDER mostly north of the city and a YELLOW-BELLIED at the Rye
Nature Center since Monday. OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER appeared this week in
Central and Prospect Parks as well as at

[nysbirds-l] Mourning Warbler - Hempstead Lake SP

Heard at the corner of Lot 3, in the tangled vegetation near the cleared space. 
I was walking close to the fringe and startled a singing bird, cutting off its 
series of "churree" phrases. I briefly thought I might have another Kentucky. 
It sang again from further back in the brush closer to the road, but the fourth 
and fifth phrases dropped lower. Mourning Warbler. I have not heard or seen the 
bird since, but Brendan has joined me on site to search. DO NOT FORGET, as I 
did, that this weekend is the Boy Scout Camporee and Lot 3 is full. Park at 2
