Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Saturday, July 16th
2016 at 1:30am. The highlights of today's tape are WHITE-FACED IBIS, KING
EIDER, AMERICAN AVOCET, ARCTIC TERN.
A WHITE-FACED IBIS was found on Friday at the south end of the East Pond at
Jamaica Bay. An immature male KING EIDER has been present for over a week
and was last reported on Thursday at Caumsett State Park off the beach at
the fisherman's parking lot.
Five AMERICAN AVOCETS were found on Friday at Red Creek Pond, Hampton Bays
at the end of Creek Road.
Two ARCTIC TERNS were found at Cupsogue last Sunday along with 6 ROSEATE
TERNS, 1 ROYAL TERN and a WESTERN SANDPIPER.
Seabird watching was sporadic last week with small numbers of CORY'S
SHEARWATERS, WILSON'S STORM-PETRELS and a single SOOTY SHEARWATER and 7
NORTHERN GANNETS reported on Sunday.
The shorebirding at the Cupsogue flats was also slow last week with about
10-12 species highlighted by 140 SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS on Sunday.
Also shorebirding was poor at Jamaica Bay with 10 species highlighted by 30
LESSER YELLOWLEGS and one STILT SANDPIPER on Friday.
A WHIMBREL was seen at Plumb Beach in Brooklyn on Tuesday.
Four species of warblers highlighted by WORM-EATING WARBLER were noted in
Central Park at the reservoir last Sunday.
At the Calverton Grasslands four GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS, 6 EASTERN
MEADOWLARKS, CHIPPING SPARROW, SAVANNAH SPARROW, BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER and
a YELLOW WARBLER were seen last Saturday.
Tom Burke will be away next week. Please call your reports to Tony Lauro at

[nysbirds-l] Cupsogue 7/16
An uptick in shorebird numbers at Cupsogue, as well. Highlights included 3 fly by Whimbrels and a Western Sandpiper. The Western was not as bright as I was hoping to get an opportunity to photograph, but still separable from Semipalmated on plumage alone. I was hoping to share a picture, but am currently unable to upload to my FTP server. Knowing exactly what to look for may be helpful in tracking down this bird - it worked for someone who looked at the picture in my camera. I also had an opportunity to photograph a Western Willet side by side with Eastern, which would be worth a look if I can get that uploaded. Among the Semipalmated Sandpipers were two with green flag bands, one of which seemed to have its gait hobbled by the band. I managed to photograph it and will report the band number. Hopefully, it will provide some useful information - something worth it, given the possibility of the bird spending the rest of its life in discomfort. Doug Futuyma, who was with me part of the time, took meticulous counts. I'm not sure if he's going to post, so here are my counts that I will be posting to z-bird. American Oystercatcher - some Piping Plover - 2 Semipalmated Plover - a few Black-bellied Plover - a scattering Whimbrel - 3 Lesser Yellowlegs - 2 Greater Yellowlegs - a bunch Eastern Willet - a whole bunch Western Willet - 1 Ruddy Turnstone - 2 Dunlin - 2 Western Sandpiper - 1 Least Sandpiper - lots Semipalmated Sandpiper - numerous Short-billed Dowitcher - many On the tern front, nothing more exciting than one Royal Tern. Juveniles are now out and about, including Forster's along with the many Commons. I got a sense of that before even seeing any, getting buzzed by adults on my way out. I was hoping something more interesting would appear on the rising tide, by hey, even the mythical person that does this rising tide magic didn't appear.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay East Pond 7-16
There was definitely shorebird movement last night as evident by the numbers on
the pond this morning. They were led by Semipalmated Sandpipers which I
conservatively estimated at around 600. Least Sandpipers, came in second in
terms of numbers and helped in the big jump for the overall shorebird total
which is getting close to 1,000 birds. In all a total of 12 species of
shorebirds.
Shorebird highlights include the continuing
STILT and the/a WESTERN SANDPIPER. A PECTORAL SANDPIPER sighting was reported
by Corey Finger, who was birding with Seth Asubel and Tom Preston. I later
caught up with this bird.
The non shorebirding highlight for me was the 111 Snowy Egrets I counted. No
sign (at least for me) of yesterday's White-faced Ibis.
Cheers,
