[nysbirds-l] Request for assistance – song recordings of migrating Mourning Warblers
It is year 5 of this project and I am once again writing to request your help and participate in a Citizens Science Project that involves recording migrating Mourning Warbler songs.Our lab is trying to determine what role song can play in understanding migratory connectivity in this species.We are interested in whether different song populations of the Mourning Warbler (Western, Eastern, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland) migrate together or separately to their respective breeding areas.Here is a link to a map with previous years’ results based on recordings from over 100 birders. https://mowasongmapper.weebly.com/mapping-songs-with-google-maps.html All you need is a smartphone with a voice recording app and some luck.Videos with recordings are also helpful.The web page link below describes the project and how to make recordings on your Smartphone in more detail.Please send song recordings to the Mourning Warbler Sound Lab (jpitocch AT anselm.edu). https://mowasongmapper.weebly.com/ There is also a link to a recent national Audubon Society story on this research. Audubon Society reporting http://www.audubon.org/magazine/spring-2017/this-guy-mapping-how-warblers-migrate-just I would really appreciate your help and contributions this year to this Citizens Science Project.

RE: [nysbirds-l] White-faced Ibises Heckscher SP Suffolk Co.
The two White-faced Ibises continued in the flooded picnic area when I left around 10:00. Both are interesting-looking and not quite typical. One individual, the one Pat found yesterday I think, has very limited white facial feathering and not-very-bright (but definitely pink-red, especially in good light) facial skin and eye. The second individual, found by Pat this morning, is more typical-looking in these respects. Both show decidedly pink-red ankles and gray bills--appropriate for White-faced Ibis. Interestingly, the duller-faced bird is very large and very tawny-colored on the neck and body--classic White-faced--whereas the brighter-faced bird looks much more like a Glossy Ibis in terms of structure and body plumage. My best assessment is that both are within the range of expected variation for relatively dull adult White-faced Ibises.

Last evening I photographed (poorly, as is my usual wont) a White-faced Ibis in non breeding plumage--no white borders around the pink eye and facial skin, and legs pink only around the "knees", feeding with 17 Glossy Ibis in the flooded picnic area of Field 6. This morning I checked again; there were at least 30 ibis feeding actively in the puddles, and I immediately picked out a White-faced, this one showing moderately distinct white borders on the face, and brighter pink legs than yesterday's bird. I had to race off to work but alerted Shai Mitra to be looking out for a second bird when he arrived shortly after. Shai did indeed find what is certainly yesterday's bird in addition to the better marked individual.

Last evening I photographed (poorly, as is my usual wont) a White-faced Ibis in non breeding plumage--no white borders around the pink eye and facial skin, and legs pink only around the "knees", feeding with 17 Glossy Ibis in the flooded picnic area of Field 6. This morning I checked again; there were at least 30 ibis feeding actively in the puddles, and I immediately picked out a White-faced, this one showing moderately distinct white borders on the face, and brighter pink legs than yesterday's bird. I had to race off to work but alerted Shai Mitra to be looking out for a second bird when he arrived shortly after. Shai did indeed find what is certainly yesterday's bird in addition to the better marked individual.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan, NYC Tues., 4/30 (2 Summer Tanagers; more migrants)
Manhattan, N.Y. City - & some sightings from outlying isles also in New York County Mostly Tuesday, 30 April (& some sightings in a list for Monday & Tues. 4/29-30), 2019 - A second male Summer Tanager was found in the northwest sector of Central Park, seen & photo’d by over a dozen observers on Tuesday, in addition to the continuing male Summer Tanager in a ‘pocket’ garden along W. 48th St. as earlier reported. On Monday very early a.m., a reliable report came from an experienced observer of a heard-only Whip-poor-will at an unexpected area of Manhattan, in Greenwich Village. An American Bittern was reliably reported, by the Central Park Meer in that park’s north end, as a flyover on Tuesday; this may have landed in the adjacent wooded area. A singing male Golden-winged Warbler was enjoyed by many observers on Tuesday, seen by many with some efforts, & heard singing by even more; observations included those by the dozens of participants on multiple group bird-walks, including those led by guides with the Linnaean Society of New York, the American Museum of Natural History, and New York City Audubon, as well as by others visiting the Ramble aree in Central Park. Some of the many migrants noted from just Monday & Tuesday, 29-30 April, in or over Manhattan’s lands & waters - Canada Goose Atlantic Brant Mute Swan Wood Duck Gadwall American Black Duck Mallard Northern Shoveler Bufflehead Hooded Merganser (1 female, at least to 4/29 on Central Park’s reservoir) Ruddy Duck Osprey Bald Eagle Northern Harrier Broad-winged Hawk Red-tailed Hawk Red-throated Loon Common Loon (including some fly-overs) Horned Grebe (NY harbor) Double-crested Cormorant American Bittern (reported, Central Park n. end, 4/30; also noted above) Great Blue Heron Great Egret Snowy Egret Green Heron Black-crowned Night-Heron Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (northern Manhattan) Turkey Vulture American Coot Killdeer Greater Yellowlegs Lesser Yellowlegs Solitary Sandpiper Spotted Sandpiper Laughing Gull Ring-billed Gull [American] Herring Gull Great Black-backed Gull Forster's Tern ['feral'] Rock Pigeon Mourning Dove American Kestrel Peregrine Falcon Monk Parakeet (n. Manhattan) Great Horned Owl Whip-poor-will (reported/heard-only, 5 a.m. Monday 4/29, & noted above) Chimney Swift Ruby-throated Hummingbird Belted Kingfisher Red-bellied Woodpecker Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (still in the multiple, but getting quite sparse) Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Yellow-shafted Flicker Least Flycatcher (several giving che-bek songs as well as calls) Eastern Phoebe Great Crested Flycatcher Eastern Kingbird White-eyed Vireo Blue-headed Vireo (good numbers) Yellow-throated Vireo Warbling Vireo Red-eyed Vireo Blue Jay American Crow Fish Crow (at nest site) Purple Martin (fly-over) Tree Swallow (relatively few) Northern Rough-winged Swallow Bank Swallow (few) Barn Swallow Cliff Swallow (few) Black-capped Chickadee Tufted Titmouse Red-breasted Nuthatch White-breasted Nuthatch Brown Creeper (slightly late) Carolina Wren House Wren Winter Wren (slightly late for NYC) Golden-crowned Kinglet (slightly late) Ruby-crowned Kinglet Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Veery Hermit Thrush Wood Thrush American Robin Gray Catbird Northern Mockingbird Brown Thrasher European Starling Eastern Towhee Chipping Sparrow Savannah Sparrow Song Sparrow Lincoln's Sparrow Swamp Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Dark-eyed Junco (2, late but not unprecedentedly; Monday, 4/29) Blue-winged Warbler Golden-winged Warbler (male seen by multiple observers with effort in Central Park’s Ramble) Tennessee Warbler (at least several) Nashville Warbler Northern Parula (multiple) Yellow Warbler Magnolia Warbler Cape May Warbler (n. Manhattan) Black-throated Blue Warbler Yellow-rumped [Myrtle] Warbler (in underwhelming numbers so far) Black-throated Green Warbler Blackburnian Warbler (at least several in Central Park alone, also in n. Manhattan) Pine Warbler Prairie Warbler Palm Warbler (relatively sparse now) Black-and-white Warbler (multiple & more females also appearing) American Redstart Worm-eating Warbler (at least several, including one at Union Square Park, ‘downtown') Ovenbird Northern Waterthrush Louisiana Waterthrush Common Yellowthroat Hooded Warbler (there were a minimum of 4 of this species on Manhattan on Tues. 4/30) Wilson's Warbler Canada Warbler Summer Tanager (at least 2 adult males, as noted above, 4/30) Scarlet Tanager (multiple, but not many) Northern Cardinal Rose-breasted Grosbeak Blue Grosbeak (ongoing female-plumaged individual, near the Cloisters within Fort Tryon Park) Indigo Bunting Red-winged Blackbird Common Grackle Brown-headed Cowbird Orchard Oriole Baltimore Oriole (multiple) Purple Finch (fair numbers in multiple parks, from lower to northern Manhattan) House Finch Pine Siskin (heard-only; Monday, 4/29, St. Nicholas Park, upper Manhattan) American Goldfinch House Sparrow Very likely some additional species were found in just the 2-day report's period. good
