[nysbirds-l] Article: The Mysteries of Micro-Parks by Jacob Drucker

[Ben Cacace]

In light of the finds at Trinity Church recently here's a excellent, well
researched and well documented article by Jacob Drucker on "The Mysteries
of Micro-Parks" on the Linnaean Society of New York website.

http://linnaeannewyork.org/birding-resources-rba/bird-micro-parks.html

The # of species for the hotspots on the chart have changed since the
article was published. Trinity Church is currently at 42 spp.

BTW, the Connecticuts and Mourning Warbler were all seen on the north side
of Trinity Church.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Trinity church CONW - request

[David Klauber]

This is not the first time two Connecticuts have been in the same place at the 
same time.
Two that I know of are:
2 immatures at Alley Pond Park , one near the pines in Little alley, the second 
nearby near the bathrooms, Sep 10, 2006
In Jamaica Bay - don't have the date, but over 10 years ago - there were two 
birds in the north garden, although not together.

I'd be very curious to hear from anyone who got good photos of the Trinity 
connecticut warbler(s). 
When I found it yesterday morning I was pretty sure there were two individuals 
involved - one showing slighly brighter yellow wash (or it was one bird that 
was also pretty adept at teleportation ;)  
Whilst 2 is highly unlikely, it would raise interesting questions about social 
migration in this taxa. And add to the documentation of fall migration being 
undertaken in family units. 
What are the chance of two happening to fall-out in this same spot just through 
coincidence?
Anyway, feel free to contact me off-list if you wouldn't mind sharing pictures. 
thanks & good birding!

Subject: [nysbirds-l] Connecticut Warbler in Brooklyn.

I'm looking at a very cooperative Connecticut Warbler in Green-Wood Cemetery. 
Actually using a headstone as a blind helps. I just tweeted a video. Anyway, 
the bird is in a small shaded dell between Southwood and Vernal Aves., just 
passed the new mausoleums. It is foraging in the grass beneath a stand of yew 
trees.

Good birding,

Rob

[nysbirds-l] Bull Moose!/Sandhill Cranes/singing Red Crossbill/boreal birds & more

[Joan Collins]

Late Summer Sightings:

 

9/22/15 Long Lake (Hamilton Co.)

 

This morning's warbler wave outside our home included Nashville, Blackpoll,
Black-throated Blue, and Yellow-rumped.  Ruby-crowned Kinglets were among
them and singing!  American Robins were heard at dawn.  I have been hearing
Hermit Thrushes every morning.

 

9/21/15 Long Lake (Hamilton Co.) - Newcomb and Minerva (Essex Co.)

 

I had planned a "quick" trip to Minerva to see the Red Crossbills, but there
were lots of wildlife distractions along the way!  (I think there is no such
thing as a "quick" birding trip!)  I saw a group of Common Ravens flushing
from a dead animal as a car went past me in the opposite lane on Route 28N
in Long Lake.  I slowed down, and sadly, saw a dead Black Bear cub in the
middle of the road.  I drove ahead a bit so vehicles could swerve to avoid
hitting it.  I was in my car searching for something I could use to get the
cub out of the road, when I glanced in my rearview mirror.  It was filled
with the image of a Bull Moose entering the road!!!  I leaped out of the car
with my camera, but stayed next to the car and just used the camera's zoom.
I took 21 photos of this majestic animal before a young woman drove by and
the Moose quickly disappeared over the guardrail (she had a fleeting view!).
The woman stopped and we were looking in her trunk for a piece of rope when
two state highway workers arrived to retrieve the bear cub.  I told them
they had just missed seeing the Moose.  They told me this cub was now the
3rd road-killed Black Bear cub they had retrieved in the past month - sad.
The fog was thick that morning with very little visibility, so I assume it
may have contributed to the car-bear collision.  I find it disturbing that
the person who hit the cub just left it in the middle of the road.  I posted
11 photos to my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/AdirondackAvian .

 

Some of the species found from visiting: Santanoni Drive in Newcomb, marsh
along Route 28N in Newcomb, and the railroad bed in Minerva (it was an
active woodpecker day):

 

Wild Turkey - still many with small young along the roadways (very late
nesting)

Broad-winged Hawk - ~ 60 in a thermal together!

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

Hairy Woodpecker

Black-backed Woodpecker - 3! (I photographed all 3 (2 males, 1 female), and
I'll add some photos to Facebook)

Northern Flicker

Pileated Woodpecker

Boreal Chickadee - 5 (2 by the Hudson River at the end of Santanoni Dr. and
3 at the railroad bed)

Winter Wren

Hermit Thrush

Gray Catbird

Cedar Waxwing

Common Yellowthroat

Yellow-rumped Warbler

Song Sparrow - singing

Swamp Sparrow - singing

White-throated Sparrow - singing

Dark-eyed Junco

Purple Finch - singing

Red Crossbill - 3 (no singing heard today, just calling)

Amer. Goldfinch

 

9/20/15 Long Lake - Tupper Lake - Mountaineer Trail at Massawepie (St.
Lawrence Co.)

 

Along Sabattis Circle Road in Long Lake - a Cooper's Hawk near the Little
Tupper Lake inlet, and 4 Gray Jays at Sabattis Bog with a Sharp-shinned Hawk
going after them!

 

After a morning Audubon board meeting, Pat & John Thaxton and I hiked the
beautiful Mountaineer Trail near Massawepie Lake in the afternoon (2 miles
round trip).  Here are some of the birds found:

 

Common Loon

Gray Jay - 3

Brown Creeper

Winter Wren

Golden-crowned Kinglet

Hermit Thrush

Palm Warbler

Pine Warbler - many! (several singing)

Yellow-rumped Warbler

White-throated Sparrow

Dark-eyed Junco

 

We looked for the Tupper Lake Sandhill Crane pair around 1 p.m. before our
hike, but did not spot them.  I searched again on my way home around 4:45
p.m. and I spotted them along Stetson Road.  (Will add photos to Facebook.)

 

9/19/15 Field Trip on the Low's Ridge - Upper Dam Trail (for leaf peeping
and birding!) sponsored by the Long Lake Parks and Recreation Dept. and
Northern NY Audubon (St. Lawrence Co.)

 

We had a nice day for the Low's Ridge - Upper Dam Trail field trip with just
a bit of rain on our hike out!  It was hot and humid, so we appreciated the
windy conditions!  We had lunch by Hitchins Pond and then everyone climbed
Low's Ridge.  The views from Low's Ridge are always spectacular!  The leaves
were not yet at peak (likely peak will be the end of Sept. - beginning of
Oct.).  Here are some of the species found:

 

Ruffed Grouse

Turkey Vulture

Osprey

Bald Eagle - 3 (2 adults and 1 juvenile); The two adults were interacting
and vocalizing over Hitchins Pond.  We observed one make a long vertical
dive and come up with a fish!

Broad-winged Hawk

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

Brown Creeper

Golden-crowned Kinglet

Hermit Thrush

Common Yellowthroat

Magnolia Warbler

Black-throated Blue Warbler

Palm Warbler

Yellow-rumped Warbler

Black-throated Green Warbler

 

9/17/15 Long Lake - An Ovenbird was singing outside our home!

 

9/16/15 Long Lake - I had beautiful views of a male Wilson's Warbler in our
backyard!  A Barred Owl vocalized during the night.  In Minerva, I 

[nysbirds-l] Greenwood Cemetery: Kings County. Clay-colored Sparrow +

[Sean Sime]

A few hours in the cemetery with Shane Blodgett had a distinct fall feel
today as Palm Warblers were ubiquitous and new arrivals (for me) like Brown
Creeper, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, White-throated Sparrow and the continuing
Clay-colored Sparrow.
Most of our efforts were concentrated at the Dell Water drip and the
hillsides along the Sylvan Water.

Highlights also included;

House Wren
Ovenbird
Northern Waterthrush
Black-and-white Warbler
Common Yellowthroat
American Redstart
Cape May Warbler

Magnolia Warbler
Yellow Warbler
Blackpoll Warbler
Black-throated Blue Warbler

[nysbirds-l] Article: The Mysteries of Micro-Parks by Jacob Drucker

[Ben Cacace]

In light of the finds at Trinity Church recently here's a excellent, well
researched and well documented article by Jacob Drucker on "The Mysteries
of Micro-Parks" on the Linnaean Society of New York website.

http://linnaeannewyork.org/birding-resources-rba/bird-micro-parks.html

The # of species for the hotspots on the chart have changed since the
article was published. Trinity Church is currently at 42 spp.

BTW, the Connecticuts and Mourning Warbler were all seen on the north side
of Trinity Church.

[nysbirds-l] Bull Moose!/Sandhill Cranes/singing Red Crossbill/boreal birds & more

[Joan Collins]

Late Summer Sightings:

 

9/22/15 Long Lake (Hamilton Co.)

 

This morning's warbler wave outside our home included Nashville, Blackpoll,
Black-throated Blue, and Yellow-rumped.  Ruby-crowned Kinglets were among
them and singing!  American Robins were heard at dawn.  I have been hearing
Hermit Thrushes every morning.

 

9/21/15 Long Lake (Hamilton Co.) - Newcomb and Minerva (Essex Co.)

 

I had planned a "quick" trip to Minerva to see the Red Crossbills, but there
were lots of wildlife distractions along the way!  (I think there is no such
thing as a "quick" birding trip!)  I saw a group of Common Ravens flushing
from a dead animal as a car went past me in the opposite lane on Route 28N
in Long Lake.  I slowed down, and sadly, saw a dead Black Bear cub in the
middle of the road.  I drove ahead a bit so vehicles could swerve to avoid
hitting it.  I was in my car searching for something I could use to get the
cub out of the road, when I glanced in my rearview mirror.  It was filled
with the image of a Bull Moose entering the road!!!  I leaped out of the car
with my camera, but stayed next to the car and just used the camera's zoom.
I took 21 photos of this majestic animal before a young woman drove by and
the Moose quickly disappeared over the guardrail (she had a fleeting view!).
The woman stopped and we were looking in her trunk for a piece of rope when
two state highway workers arrived to retrieve the bear cub.  I told them
they had just missed seeing the Moose.  They told me this cub was now the
3rd road-killed Black Bear cub they had retrieved in the past month - sad.
The fog was thick that morning with very little visibility, so I assume it
may have contributed to the car-bear collision.  I find it disturbing that
the person who hit the cub just left it in the middle of the road.  I posted
11 photos to my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/AdirondackAvian .

 

Some of the species found from visiting: Santanoni Drive in Newcomb, marsh
along Route 28N in Newcomb, and the railroad bed in Minerva (it was an
active woodpecker day):

 

Wild Turkey - still many with small young along the roadways (very late
nesting)

Broad-winged Hawk - ~ 60 in a thermal together!

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

Hairy Woodpecker

Black-backed Woodpecker - 3! (I photographed all 3 (2 males, 1 female), and
I'll add some photos to Facebook)

Northern Flicker

Pileated Woodpecker

Boreal Chickadee - 5 (2 by the Hudson River at the end of Santanoni Dr. and
3 at the railroad bed)

Winter Wren

Hermit Thrush

Gray Catbird

Cedar Waxwing

Common Yellowthroat

Yellow-rumped Warbler

Song Sparrow - singing

Swamp Sparrow - singing

White-throated Sparrow - singing

Dark-eyed Junco

Purple Finch - singing

Red Crossbill - 3 (no singing heard today, just calling)

Amer. Goldfinch

 

9/20/15 Long Lake - Tupper Lake - Mountaineer Trail at Massawepie (St.
Lawrence Co.)

 

Along Sabattis Circle Road in Long Lake - a Cooper's Hawk near the Little
Tupper Lake inlet, and 4 Gray Jays at Sabattis Bog with a Sharp-shinned Hawk
going after them!

 

After a morning Audubon board meeting, Pat & John Thaxton and I hiked the
beautiful Mountaineer Trail near Massawepie Lake in the afternoon (2 miles
round trip).  Here are some of the birds found:

 

Common Loon

Gray Jay - 3

Brown Creeper

Winter Wren

Golden-crowned Kinglet

Hermit Thrush

Palm Warbler

Pine Warbler - many! (several singing)

Yellow-rumped Warbler

White-throated Sparrow

Dark-eyed Junco

 

We looked for the Tupper Lake Sandhill Crane pair around 1 p.m. before our
hike, but did not spot them.  I searched again on my way home around 4:45
p.m. and I spotted them along Stetson Road.  (Will add photos to Facebook.)

 

9/19/15 Field Trip on the Low's Ridge - Upper Dam Trail (for leaf peeping
and birding!) sponsored by the Long Lake Parks and Recreation Dept. and
Northern NY Audubon (St. Lawrence Co.)

 

We had a nice day for the Low's Ridge - Upper Dam Trail field trip with just
a bit of rain on our hike out!  It was hot and humid, so we appreciated the
windy conditions!  We had lunch by Hitchins Pond and then everyone climbed
Low's Ridge.  The views from Low's Ridge are always spectacular!  The leaves
were not yet at peak (likely peak will be the end of Sept. - beginning of
Oct.).  Here are some of the species found:

 

Ruffed Grouse

Turkey Vulture

Osprey

Bald Eagle - 3 (2 adults and 1 juvenile); The two adults were interacting
and vocalizing over Hitchins Pond.  We observed one make a long vertical
dive and come up with a fish!

Broad-winged Hawk

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

Brown Creeper

Golden-crowned Kinglet

Hermit Thrush

Common Yellowthroat

Magnolia Warbler

Black-throated Blue Warbler

Palm Warbler

Yellow-rumped Warbler

Black-throated Green Warbler

 

9/17/15 Long Lake - An Ovenbird was singing outside our home!

 

9/16/15 Long Lake - I had beautiful views of a male Wilson's Warbler in our
backyard!  A Barred Owl vocalized during the night.  In Minerva, I

Subject: [nysbirds-l] Connecticut Warbler in Brooklyn.

I'm looking at a very cooperative Connecticut Warbler in Green-Wood Cemetery. 
Actually using a headstone as a blind helps. I just tweeted a video. Anyway, 
the bird is in a small shaded dell between Southwood and Vernal Aves., just 
passed the new mausoleums. It is foraging in the grass beneath a stand of yew 
trees.

Good birding,

Rob

RE: [nysbirds-l] Trinity church CONW - request

[David Klauber]

This is not the first time two Connecticuts have been in the same place at the 
same time.
Two that I know of are:
2 immatures at Alley Pond Park , one near the pines in Little alley, the second 
nearby near the bathrooms, Sep 10, 2006
In Jamaica Bay - don't have the date, but over 10 years ago - there were two 
birds in the north garden, although not together.

I'd be very curious to hear from anyone who got good photos of the Trinity 
connecticut warbler(s). 
When I found it yesterday morning I was pretty sure there were two individuals 
involved - one showing slighly brighter yellow wash (or it was one bird that 
was also pretty adept at teleportation ;)  
Whilst 2 is highly unlikely, it would raise interesting questions about social 
migration in this taxa. And add to the documentation of fall migration being 
undertaken in family units. 
What are the chance of two happening to fall-out in this same spot just through 
coincidence?
Anyway, feel free to contact me off-list if you wouldn't mind sharing pictures. 
thanks & good birding!
