[nysbirds-l] Gull-billed Tern @ JBWR Queens Co.

2017-04-12 Thread Andrew Baksh
The highlight of a morning walk at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge (JBWR) was a 
Gull-billed Tern. Observed on the the East Pond from Big John's Overlook.

Other migrants included Forster's Terns, Glossy Ibis, Blue Gray Gnatcatcher 
along with expected migrants already reported.

The West Pond, is looking much nicer now than the depleted dead zone we had a 
month ago. It is filled with water, the benefit of a closed breach. There were 
ducks (Ruddys, Shoveler, Buffleheads and Greater Scaup) on the pond as well as 
Forster's Terns, the expected Gulls and a Greater Yellowlegs as well.

I would urge that visitors who use eBird to please take the time to record your 
sightings accurately by location. There is a West Pond hotspot and it would be 
helpful to mine that data going forward, once the restoration is considered 
complete.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC Wed. 4/12 - Yellow-throated Warbler etc.

2017-04-12 Thread Thomas Fiore
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City
Wednesday, 12 April, 2017 -

A Yellow-throated Warbler was found in the Ramble section, along The Point, 
this morning, with an eBird submission that suggests the original observer:  
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S35893844 
  - & there have been 
subsequent sightings.  The Point is on the Lake just west of the Boathouse 
Cafe, which itself is at the e. end of the lower part of the Lake (near it’s 
southeast-most point), and adjacent to approx. East 75th Street.

At least one additional new-for-year sighting, a Prairie Warbler was being 
enjoyed by many at the Loch (n. end of park), where in the same vicinity were a 
few other warblers, including bright Pine & Palms.  Overall, it was apparent 
that further migration has occured overnight, with some birds also having moved 
on.  One species much in evidence, park-wide, was E. Towhee with easily a dozen 
males seen.  The Hermit Thrush push continues with fair numbers in most areas, 
except that not as many were in the far n. woods as on prior days.  I noticed 
one [Red] Fox Sparrow west of Hallett Sanctuary, there may well be a few others 
of that species lingering or moving through in later-stage of their movement. 
House Wren continues, the first reported being yesterday/Tues., with the 
A.M.N.H. (American Museum of Natural History) group bird-walk having seen and 
noted it. Rusty Blackbirds are continuing or moving thru, but often shy as is 
typical.

good birding,

Tom Fiore

[nysbirds-l] "Bonnie rides", to and from Bohemia: Tax Day, 2017

2017-04-12 Thread robert adamo
Heading west, I had 2 Turkey Vultures circling over the LIE in Manorville.

After finding out I had to give half of what I get from Uncle Sam to Cousin
Mario, I decided to perk up by driving through the Calverton Grasslands on
the way home. As I entered the property from Grumman Blvd, a Blue-gray
Gnatcatcher flew by my windshield, and landed in a close tree - what a nice
way for nature to say "happy spring" !  I also saw two other species for
the first time this season, singles of Kestrel and E.Meadowlark.

After dinner, ~ 7:30 P.M., I meandered down to the "Roanoke Roosts" to see
if any  of the T.V. population were still lingering...and, happy to report,
they are !  The main group of 17 birds were still roosting in the 3 Spruce
Trees, on the w/s of Griffing Ave, just s/o Lincoln Ave, Riverhead. There
were also 2 birds lounging on the Roanoke Ave Elementary School's chimney.

Cheers,
Bob
