[nysbirds-l] Accabonac Harbor, East Hampton: tree swallow and osprey return

2016-03-23 Thread Bruce Horwith
I heard a report of osprey returning to the South Fork last week, but today
was my FOS osprey for Accabonac Harbor, along with same for a lone tree
swallow. No piping plover yet as far as I know. Also seen: a kestrel, a few
cedar waxwing, yellow-rumps, and double-crested cormorants enroute to
Gardiners Island. Returning home I was greeted by an osprey calling over my
house.

[nysbirds-l] Quogue Wildlife (Suffolk County) - Winter Wren

2016-03-23 Thread Eileen Schwinn
Between 11:00-11:45 this AM, a Winter Wren, Purple Finch and  Hermit Thrush 
were seen along the boardwalk and Dam Trail area at Quogue Wildlife Refuge.  
The Winter Wren responded to a tape(played in the Chocolate Pudding Pond area), 
and was clearly seen for 3-4 minutes.  Pine Warblers were also in the eastern 
part of the Refuge, heard and seen along Old Country Rd.

[nysbirds-l] Pine Warblers, Central Park, NYC 3/23

2016-03-23 Thread Thomas Fiore

Wednesday, 23 March, 2016 -
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

Multiple Pine Warblers (those I know of all males, some that have been  
singing) in at least 4 locations that I'm aware of (two having been  
seen or heard), as follows:


near the northern end of the park, well east of the Blockhouse at the  
site known as the Lily Ponds, the lower portion nearer to the park  
Drive (not too far from 110 St.);  and, at the King of Poland statue,  
working a bit north from there; and, at the west side of the  
Maintenance Field (heard, & seen by others); & one near the Mall along  
the eastern edge away from Sheep Meadow - likely a couple more may  
also be around.  Other freshly-arrived migrants seemed a bit scant,  
but there well could be a number of species that also arrived.  There  
was a slightly surprising movement of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, most  
evident in the far north end of the park.  Various other sightings  
will no doubt filter in, and absolutely more this week. Thanks to  
several observers for their sightings, with more sure to be seen.


good birding,

Tom Fiore
Manhattan
