[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler Prospect Park

[Adrian Burke]

The Swainson's Warbler was seen about 30 minutes ago in same location as
before, foraging in the patch of woods where a large fallen tree lies right
next to a woodchip path. It showed briefly up close, but then vanished and
I haven't seen it again since. Not a lot of people around, except a shady
guy with a bike who did a lit of staring.

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler persists in Prospect Park Mid Wood area circa 3PM Thursday

[Richard Fleming]

I am grateful to two gentlemen who were walking west on Center Drive for
steering me in the direction of the Prospect Park Swainson's warbler, which
persists in Mid Wood as of 3PM despite the unceasing rain. Walking East on
Center Drive, I took a left on the paved path that starts at the gap in the
long line of shipping containers. Very soon this crosses a dirt/wood-chip
path, but I continued on. I then took another right on the second (or is
the third?) such path, one which has a mighty fallen trunk running along
the first fifty feet of the path, along the right side. Near an area where
several paths cross, about 100 feet in along this trail, I had the
Swainson's twice, with about a half an hour passing in-between. Although
the gentlemen I had met said they had heard the bird singing "some eight
times in two hours," I did not hear it sing at all, over about 45 minutes.
Best of luck if you go, and may you have better weather. --Richard Fleming

[nysbirds-l] eBird.org: Recent Additions to County Checklists

[Ben Cacace]

When working on the NYS eBird Hotspots wiki I'll compare the previous bar
chart list of species with the current one picking up any additions or
deletions. By going to each county's 'Overview' page you can determine the
date the species was added by county. Some are from newly submitted
checklists from many months / years ago.

It isn't possible to spot these additions from old checklists. On the
'Overview' page you can sort on 'First Seen' but if the species wasn't
added recently it won't appear at the top of the list.

For each county on the wiki click the 'Overview' link on the 'Explore a
Location' line:
— http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York

Yellow highlights a species added for the first time over the past few
months.

*Lewis County:* 
Black-bellied Plover (19-May-2017)

*Niagara County:* 
Piping Plover (22-May-2017)

*St. Lawrence County:* 
Forster's Tern (11-May-2017)

*Wayne County:* 
Yellow-throated Warbler (23-May-2017)

*Putnam County:* 
Golden-winged Warbler (Removed)

[nysbirds-l] Franklin's Gull, shorebirds - Niagara and Orleans Counties

[Willie D'Anna]

After the drenching rain this morning, Joel Strong and I got out to look
over the fields to see what shorebirds, if any, had dropped in. 

 

On Youngstown-Wilson Road, just west of Fitch, there were:

75 Dunlin

11 Least Sandpipers

3 White-rumped Sandpipers

100 Semipalmated Sandpipers

18 Short-billed Dowitchers

2 Spotted Sandpipers

 

On the Lower Lake Road - Burgess Road join, there were:

2 American Wigeon

1 Semipalmated Plover

56 Dunlin

1 Least Sandpiper

1 White-rumped Sandpiper

46 Semipalmated Sandpipers

9 Short-billed Dowitchers

2 dowitcher species (possibly Long-billed)

The highlight here was a FRANKLIN'S GULL with a few hundred Ring-billed and
Herring Gulls. Unfortunately, it did not stay long, as an immature Bald
Eagle came over and all the gulls flew off. It was probably a second-cycle
bird, though possibly an adult that had not yet molted in its hood. Poor
photos were obtained: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S37144462

 

On the Orleans County side of Niagara-Orleans Countyline Road, there were:

4 Black-bellied Plovers

75 Dunlin

55 Semipalmated Sandpipers

 

On Lower Lake Road, just east of Johnson Creek Road, there were:

10 Black-bellied Plovers

19 Dunlin

2 dowitcher species (seen very briefly)

 

Good birding!

Willie
