[nysbirds-l] various "extralimitals" near NY
Wednesday, 30 September, 2009 Among the birds of some interest reported not too far from NY are a Fork-tailed Flycatcher (not just a one-day wonder) from Tues. into Wed., 9/29-30 in South Wellfleet, Massachusetts, 2 Western Kingbirds at Block Island (part of but off 'mainland' Rhode Island), a Western Tanager just reported from the Lighthouse Point hawk-watch folks (New Haven Connecticut), and a male Rufous Hummingbird at a feeder for a few days in Berks County, Pennsylvania thru the weekend... and a little less recently, Say's Phoebe at Monhegan Island Maine - and in the other direction, a Black-tailed Gull at Port Burwell Provincial Park in Ontario Canada (along with W. Kingbird nearby in that province) and there are actually a good many more such "out-of- expected-range" birds being reported in the northeastern region of the continent. The changing weather does bring new birds, along with moving many of our summer species & migrants south. Migration-wise things seem a bit slow in Manhattan just now... ...or in fact they've been speeded south with recent northerlies.

[nysbirds-l] orioles at my birdbath
Just had two immature Baltimore orioles at my birdbath with a mixed flock of sparrows, robins and cardinals. Hopefully they'll stay awhile and visit my oriole feeder since the other pair left while I was away. Andrew Andrew v. F.

[nysbirds-l] Clay-Colored Sparrow at Cedar Beach (Suffolk Co.)
A Clay-colored Sparrow was present this morning at the northwest corner of the Cedar Beach (Town of Babylon) parking lot. The bird favored a row of stored lifeguard stands and was in the company of Song and House Sparrows. Otherwise, there were few birds at the Cedar Beach Marina and Cedar Overlook Beach.
