[nysbirds-l] Marine Nature Study Area, Oceanside
Overcast with a bit of mist and very raw. A CLAPPER RAIL called in the marsh. WILLETS finally made their appearance where previously they had only been heard. Both EGRETS and both YELLOWLEGS were seen. Otherwise not much. Some greenery starting in the marsh, but it’s still not Spring.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan, NYC Tues., 4/30 (Summer Tanager, Blue Grosbeak, Golden-winged & other Warbler spp., +)
It seems reasonable to place here a note on the reported-photographed Magnificent Frigatebird seen on Saturday, April 27th by at least 2 observers, at Hamlin Beach state park in Monroe County, NY - see: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S55477515 - - - - - Tuesday, 30 April, 2019 - Manhattan, N.Y. City - Just in the morning hours of Tuesday have been fresh finds of a number of migrant species, and also continuing birds. Of the latter, 2 of note are the continuing adult male SUMMER Tanager at the Clinton Community Garden on West 48th Street (between Ninth & Tenth Avenues) which may be visible without a need to enter this sometimes locked site; and a female-plumaged BLUE Grosbeak at Fort Tryon Park in northern Manhattan. Among arrivals of warblers to Manhattan are at least a few firsts of the season for the county - a male GOLDEN-WINGED Warbler, found by Tod Winston & the NYC Audubon a.m. bird-walk group in Central Park’s Ramble, & seen by multiple observers in the morning, & other species which include: Tennessee, Magnolia, Blackburnian, Cape May, and Canada Warbler[s], along with other warbler species seen previously in Manhattan: Hooded, Blue-winged, Nashville, Northern Parula (fairly common in some spots), Yellow, Black-throated Blue, Black-throated Green, Yellow-rumped [Myrtle], Pine, Prairie, Palm (no longer common), Black-and-white, American Redstart, Worm-eating (at least several - Tues.), Wilson’s, Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush (fairly common in some locations), & Common Yellowthroat (increased overnight). There were additionally a few reports of some other warbler spp. & more may come to light during this week. This is a minimum of two dozen warbler species on the day = very active migration recently. Some of the activity has been in the south-most parts of Manhattan, while there’ve been good sightings from all around the island and no doubts would be on outlying isles of New York County as well. Other Manhattan sightings include a few Great Crested Flycatchers and Eastern Kingbirds, & reports of Empidonax [genus] flycatchers; the sight of more Chimney Swifts overhead in several locations over Manhattan also a sure sign of increases in arrivals or movements of neotropical-wintering migrants more generally. Due to prevailing winds both locally in the N.Y. City area, & at least to some extent regionally for the same area, a lot of migrants have moved thru to the west of the Hudson river (i.e., west of Manhattan island) & also onward in the night[s] to destinations north of the latitude of N.Y. City, including (some) to potential breeding areas. This may also show why (if) some land birds in particular are in shorter supply “out east” on NY’s Long Island, but there would be other factors as well, including migrants being able to reach somewhat more inland sites. It can also be noted that while some migrant passerines have been increasing, many species have thus far been in lower-than-expected numbers in Manhattan (at least), so far this spring. good birding, Tom Fiore manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] Lido Beach Passive Nature Area
Thanks to help from Pat Aiken I was able to see the stilt in the far left pool seen from the berm on the Lookout Trail. Also seen were a couple of yellowlegs, a large flock of sandpipers flying in the distance, an oystercatcher, 2 Black-bellied Plovers, a male Indigo Bunting, and a Blue-headed and Warbling Vireo.
