[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 9/17
Thursday, 17 September, 2009 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City Birding was rather good, despite the 'raw' weather for mid-September: wind chill hasn't factored in for recent years here, as it may have in the old days, when "cold fronts" really were cold by September... today may have seen a bit less diversity, while volume of a few species picked up, & most noticeable were the increase in or arrival of some "later" fall migrants. The sparrows are now beginning to make a real showing, with a Vesper seemingly a bit early for this location. Of the warblers, 2 different Yellow-breasted Chats, one at the wildflower meadow, & another at Strawberry Fields & vicinity were the most notable & at least 16 additional species of warblers included Tennessee, Cape May, more Palm warblers, & others. Winter Wren, Ruby- crownned Kinglet, & at least 6 species of sparrows including the Vesper on the knoll (north of the NE part of the N. Meadow ballfields), Lincoln's, Swamp, & Chipping, with expected White- throateds increasing plus resident Song, were among the new and/or very recent arrivals. I didn't watch for hawks much & noticed only a few Osprey going over, but there could have been some other migrating raptors. There were also a fair number of hummingbirds, all presumed Ruby-throated but not all definitely ID'd as some zipped by, while others stayed & visited the many flowers still blooming. In some places that held some migrants on Wednesday there were fewer today and overall, diversity seemed to have dropped off slightly overnight. A smattering of icterids were moving, too.

[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow follow-up
Just a quick follow-up for the Lark Sparrow at Floyd Bennett Field. After the clouds cleared I went back hoping to digi-bin some photos. At 3:45pm, I relocated the bird in virtually the same spot. It was feeding at the base of the berm along the edge of the pavement. This is at the parking area one uses when going to the Return-a-Gift Pond or North Forty. I have a map on my blog here: http://tinyurl.com/n43tos Or if you just want to check out a couple of fairly decent photos (Doug G. taught me everything I know about digi-binning): http://tinyurl.com/mtbtwk http://tinyurl.com/kwfk5j Good birding, Rob -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES Archives: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] Riis Park and Jamaica Bay, 17 Sep
Joe Guinta and I (Sy Schiff) found a Clay-colored Sparrow along the fence at the west side of the golf course at Riis Park this morning. The sky was overcast and there was a brisk wind which kept the birds down. Except for the sparrow, not much of a birding morning. We came home via Jamaica Bay starting at the West Pond. On the bayside at bench #3, a Tricolored Heron was feeding along the shore. We did a quick stop at the south end of the East Pond where a single American Avocet was resting along the east edge It flew north as we came out onto the flat. There are large numbers of Blue-winged Teal on both ponds and an early female Greater Scaup on the West Pond.

[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow /Floyd Bennett/Brooklyn
Rob Jett found a Lark Sparrow along the south edge of the North Forty at Floyd Bennett. It was in a rainwater pool at the end of the north/south main road/runway. This is near the pools that have attracted shorebirds over the past couple of summers. It subsequently flew into some mugwort along the berm that seperates the cricket field from the aforementioned runway. With Rob's help I was able to quickly find the bird in the weedy field just behind the berm. This was ~1:30-2:00 p.m. today. Shane B.

[nysbirds-l] Linnaean Society Meeting Announcement
THE LINNAEAN SOCIETY OF NEW YORK SPEAKERS PROGRAM Tuesday, September 22, 2009, 7:30 p.m. The American Museum of Natural History, Linder Auditorium Speaker: Kimberly Bostwick, Curator of Birds and Mammals at Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates and Research Associate, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University Subject: Cloud Forest Virtuosos: Discovering the Amazing Wing- Instruments of Club-winged Manakins We often have the sense that all the major biological discoveries have been made long ago. In this talk, Bostwick encourages the audience to discover for themselves the solution to a mystery that puzzled even Darwin, and has only been worked out in recent years. That is, some animals exhibit exceptions to the rule of "survival of the fittest" and conform more to the idea of "survival of the sexiest". Male Club-winged Manakins, an Andean cloud-forest bird, is one of these exceptions; it has a unique, specialized, and very costly method of courting females, that will be revealed and explored in detail. Kimberly Bostwick received her Ph.D. from the University of Kansas. She has authored numerous papers on bird ecology and evolution. She most recently appeared in the first episode of PBS’s Nature series entitled Deep Jungle. The meeting is open to the public, without charge. Please join us for what promises to be a very exciting talk. Enter the Museum at West 77th Street. If you would like to meet Dr. Bostwick prior to the talk, join us at Pappardella's Restaurant, 75th Street and Columbus Avenue at 6 p.m. The reservation will be in the name of Alice.

[nysbirds-l] good migration in NYC, 9/16
Wednesday, 16 September, 2009 The addition of Hooded Warbler to the list of species seen in Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City) pushed the warbler 'tally' to at least 25 species on the day there, as well as having both of our cuckoo species reported. A look at some reports from Prospect Park's (Brooklyn, NYC) birders shows a minimum of 22 warbler species including Hooded there on Wednesday, along with many of the other migrants noted in Central on the day. The other urban migration "hot- spots" probably fared well also.
