Re:[nysbirds-l] Ash-throated Flycatcher
Glenn: Many thanks. Just got the bird. For those with a GPS the park entrance is just opposite the intersection of Lideo Blvd. and Regent Dr, Peter Post.

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point
There were a lot of doves at CPP this a.m. -- having read about a white winged dove in Sandy Hook yesterday I gave careful look. Counted 81 in three locations all were (in) mourning doves, though none were crying, as far as I could tell. Nothing else of note although a red tail hawk was bathing in a large puddle by ball field.

[nysbirds-l] 2 longspurs at Floyd Bennett
Sorry for the multiple posts but there are actually two longspurs. Last seen flying west onto the main field by the runway that is directly in front of the aviator. They flushed but the larks stayed when a dog walker walked by.

[nysbirds-l] A belated report
Forgetting to do this yesterday, combined with no reports by others on them today, I now (do I hear a drum-roll) submit the 4 Snow Geese found in a flock of ~ 600 Canadas in the triangular field formed by the confluence of Sound Ave, Northville Tpke and Route 105, in n/e Riverhead. The Snow Geese consisted of 2 adults and 2 immatures.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 11/13-17 (& other-where Manhattan etc.)
All who wish to support fact-based journalism over the coming weeks, months, and years may want to take out a paid subscription to your newspaper or magazine of choice - real support to actual news- gathering and working-reporter organizations: they will need that support now more than ever; well-informed citizens make good citizens, and help build and maintain stronger democracies. -- Extralimital to NY, but not by all that much, is a kingbird found in Lancaster Co., PA on Wednesday 11/16, and being identified -by voice- on Thursday 11/17 as a (potential-2nd PA state-record) Tropical Kingbird (rather than Western as was first presumed, or Couch's as similar in some visual aspects) - a reminder that, and as known in NYS, up to 5 species of Kingbird are potential strays to the area, in addition to our regular breeding species: Eastern) - in future, it is even remotely possible there could be some further kingbird species as a migrant-stray. (To get a bit more particular, while hardly "expected" even casually, the loggerhead kingbird has been recorded as far north as the state of Maryland, if just once. The most-common 'non-Eastern' "vagrant" Kingbird in the northeast (& east) has been and still is: Western. It might be argued that this is not a true "vagrant" in some of the east such as in the southeast.) - Updates for any NY birders interested in this bird may find them at: http://digest.sialia.com/?rm=one_list;id=127 and also at: http://digest.sialia.com/?rm=one_list;id=156 -- Sunday-Thursday, 13 thru 17 November, 2016 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City Thursday (11/17), some movement seemed apparent, with a change-over in some sorts of migrant & winter-visitor species; a few later-moving (for Central, where they rarely linger for weeks, at this time of the year) Myrtle Warblers (not noted otherwise in any recent days here) going past & stopping off in the north end (at the Great HiII & by the Meer, in earIy hours); & a further uptick in "Red" Fox Sparrows, and some of the other migrant sparrows having thinned, or moved-on; it seemed some of the reservoir-birds of the other (rainy) day may have moved on, even if species-mix was about the same; at the eastern edge of the Ramble, an Ovenbird was in view, & farther east on parts of Cedar Hill, there were both species of Kinglet, and in a few places in the southern half of the park, additional "Red" Fox Sparrows. Winter Wrens were also found in a few areas, maybe just continuing birds or fresh-moving migrants (the latter species is surprisingly uncommon- rare in winter in Central, despite being quite cold-hardy). On Tuesday 11/15, rainy-day duckage & such included ten American Coots photographed in a group on the reservoir's NW edge, a minimum of 9 Hooded Mergansers (7 at reservoir, 2 at Turtle Pond), a minimum of 22 Buffleheads (16 at the reservoir, 4 at Meer, 2 at The Pool), at least 5 Wood Ducks (drake & hen at The Meer, same at The Pond, & at least 1 drake on The Lake), as well as 80+ Northern Shovelers distributed on 4 water-bodies, 200+ Ruddy Ducks on at least 2 water-bodies (nearly 90% of them on reservoir), Gadwall numbering past 40 in all, American Black Ducks on 5 water-bodies, usual many Mallards (& mallard-ish) ducks, as well as the lingering Indian Runner Duck at the Meer, present on-&-off there since much earlier in the year; Canada Geese in modest (fewer than 60) numbers; motley (& usual) gulls of 3 most- typical species, & a few Double-crested Cormorants in the wetter- morning hours. There may have been other ducks much farther-out on the reservoir. --- A Pine Warbler was on the hill (in pine trees) east of the Central Park landmark Bethesda fountain on Sunday, 11/13; at least six species of warbler were still present in Central Park, a few species represented by more than single individuals; they were: the preceding plus Palm, Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat, Blackpoll, and Orange- crowned. Each species was seen by multiple observers, myself included. This is not an unprecedented variety of warbler species for the date period in this park, especially given recent weather (we have had as many or more species of warbler into December, in some milder autumns here). I made a later-Sunday foray thru the southern third of Manhattan (specifically staying away from the 2 small parks where [not-all-just- flash'n'dash] mob-bers have been "chatting", & continue to be; Iook to a 100-day-run of the biggest warbler in the world, or one might even daresay: huge! Of course it is great when a desired bird is there to be seen for such a stretch of days, and by so many who come view- seeking) - and, I stopped in at several of the mid- & down- town parks, including one on the East River, & 3 areas on the Hudson river side of lower Manhattan, particular time spent in Battery Park proper,
