[nysbirds-l] Cattle Egret Friday, 4/14, Manhattan NYC
Good Friday,14th April, 2017 - Manhattan, Chelsea neighborhood, N.Y. City A well-plumaged Cattle Egret continues its visit at a small-ish greenspace, on the north side of 28th Street, between Eighth & Ninth Avenues in Manhattan. In the early morning at least, the Egret was a bit closer to Eigth Ave. - it was feeding reasonably, as it has been for the days of observations. I also visited some smaller parks in the lower-mid Manhattan area, & most seemed to hold very scant migrant or late-lingering wintered-over birds. The Hudson river along lower Manhattan also appeared relatively quiet and the greenspaces alongside somewhat the same, with the exception of lingering Atlantic Brant in some areas, which are not unexpected into or even thru April. Thanks to Ardith Bondi for her note on the Central Park reservoir (Manhattan) Red-necked Grebe which she photographed Thursday; this bird was also reported by a few others, in various media. Should that grebe linger on into next week, it will certainly seem very likely that it is the same which was rehabilitated in Manhattan & subsequently released to the CP reservoir. It is mobile within the reservoir & it seems to be feeding well.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler Marine Park, BK
The Prothonotary Warbler is back at the south end of the Nature Center after being absent here for a few hours. Earlier, I had the bird for a few minutes in a relatively leafy tree south of the road maybe 50 yards to the east of the nature center, so it appears to be making rounds of the area.

This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, April 14, 2017 at 7:00 pm. The highlights of today’s tape are TOWNSEND’S SOLITAIRE, SANDHILL CRANE, BLACK-HEADED GULL, KING EIDER, WHIMBREL, YELLOW-THROATED and PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS, YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT, DICKCISSEL, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK and other spring migrants. To review some lingering rarities first, the TOWNSEND’S SOLITAIRE was last reported Saturday near blue house #1625 North Sea Drive in Southold, and the Wainscott Pond SANDHILL CRANE was noted as recently as Tuesday. A female KING EIDER was present again off Orient Point Sunday, and the BLACK-HEADED GULL was still at Sagg Pond on Tuesday. But it’s the early spring arrivals that now attract most of the attention. A YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER visited Prospect Park last weekend, followed by 1 in Central Park’s Ramble on Wednesday. Unusual by location was a PROTHONOTARY WARBLER staying near the Salt Marsh Nature Center building in Brooklyn’s Marine Park Wednesday to today, and a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT worked its way around the parking lot at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge last Saturday. Other Warblers first appearing this week have included NORTHERN PARULA last Friday, BLACK-AND-WHITE Monday, BLACK-THROATED GREEN and PRAIRIE Wednesday and WILSON’S today. A DICKCISSEL has been visiting residential Massapequa, staying with HOUSE SPARROWS around a yard at the corner of Fox Boulevard and Baldwin Road, often in bushes next to a sideways lying basketball hoop. If visiting there, please respect the neighbors and act appropriately. Various TERNS have begun arriving, and notable was a GULL-BILLED on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Wednesday. A CASPIAN TERN was reported at Orient Point Saturday and is expected now, but more unusual were a few early ROYAL TERNS, with photos of 1 at Sagg Pond in Bridgehampton Sunday and 2 more at Mecox Bay Tuesday. Both FORSTER’S and LEAST TERNS were also reported as of Wednesday. A WHIMBREL was still around Sagg Pond Saturday, and one was found at Timber Point in Great River around the East Marina Monday and was still there Wednesday. A GLAUCOUS GULL visited Central Park Reservoir Monday and Tuesday, ICELAND GULLS were noted in Brooklyn at various sites during the week and also at Oak Beach Saturday, and a few LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS are still around. A CATTLE EGRET in lower Manhattan has been lingering since Tuesday and apparently earlier at least through today in a small grassy area along the north side of 28th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues. Other HERONS have featured the arrival of GREEN HERON Saturday as well as a TRICOLORED HERON at Marshlands Conservancy in Rye yesterday and today. A EURASIAN WIGEON was at the Brooklyn Army Terminal Pier 4 Monday. Continuing RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS were noted at Central Park, Kissena Park, Hendrickson Park and Caumsett State Park as well as a couple of other locations. Among the passerines, a belated report mentions a female SUMMER TANAGER photographed last Friday in Suffolk County on private property at King’s Park, and a male BLUE GROSBEAK arrived at Jones Beach West End east of the toll booth today. An EASTERN WHIP-POOR-WILL was found injured at 38th Street and 6th Avenue last Friday, and a list of other recent arrivals includes SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER Thursday, SOLITARY SANDPIPER Sunday, CHIMNEY SWIFT Saturday, RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD Tuesday, WHIT
