[nysbirds-l] Burrowing Owl info

2019-05-16 Thread Isaac Grant
The bird was sitting on the fence in the back of a make shift maintenance yard 
that is on your left immediately after you pull into big egg marsh which is at 
the end of cross bay boulevard. The bird was easily viewed from the road. I 
have no idea if the bird will stay in the maintenance yard if the cranes that 
are parked there are being active but I would think it’s highly likely that it 
won’t. However there’s tons of suitable habitat in the area as lots of 
construction is going on and there are posts set up all over the place. The 
bird was last seen hunting out in the marsh as it was dark. There’s plenty of 
public parking and as long as the birders stay out of the way of the 
construction vehicles I don’t see any reason at all not to go and try for this 
bird. The baseball fields are still open to the public and while the owl was 
there there were probably 40 cars parked there for the kids softball game. This 
is not a closed off or restricted area in case that wasn’t clear.  Again I was 
not the original finder I’m just getting the word out

[nysbirds-l] small correction: Swainson's Warbler/p.m. location: Central Park, NYC 5/16

2019-05-16 Thread Thomas Fiore
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - Thursday p.m., 5/16 - Swainson’s Warbler 
redux:

In my previous post, the direction given coming north from the Bow Bridge is 
correct, but do not go either far left or right off the bridge if coming across 
from the non-wooded side to the more wooded Ramble entrance, stay near the lake 
without going far right (that is, don’t go far east.  On the left, using these 
directions, is mostly the lake - water… and B. Van Doren’s earlier post will 
assist with location as will most other nearby birders).

good luck,

Tom Fiore

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler, Central Park, NYC (p.m. locations, Thursday, 5/16)

2019-05-16 Thread Thomas Fiore
Thursday, 16 May, 2019 - 

The Swainson’s Warbler in the Ramble area of Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. 
City) had moved just a bit, essentially along the shore / vicinity of The Lake, 
traveling farther north from Bow Bridge, BUT has come back to closer to where 
first found in the morning: nearer to Bow Bridge on the path that goes directly 
(straight north, not to the left / east, if one is coming from Bow Bridge, into 
the Ramble from the SE (or non-wooded) side of that bridge.  Again, of course 
seek other birders & photographers who are likely to be in the vicinity.  And 
be patient, even if it is singing, or calling well, it can be quite difficult 
to see.  With patience and close attention, views may be had of this mostly (& 
typically) shy skulker.

good luck,

Tom Fiore

[nysbirds-l] Summer Tanager, Blue Grosbeak, other migrants - Jones Beach, Nassau County

2019-05-16 Thread Timothy Healy
Jones Beach has been reasonably active this morning, with good diversity 
overall and solid numbers of many migrants. I’ve detected 91 species over the 
course of the morning. A female Summer Tanager was seen in the pines along the 
northern edge of the median just before the turnaround, the same area where I 
heard a Blue Grosbeak vocalizing, giving both flight calls and typical calls. 
An eastbound Pine Siskin and good numbers of Red-breasted Nuthatches were 
notable lingerers from this winter’s irruptions. Other birds of note included 
Lincoln’s Sparrow briefly seen at the Coast Guard hedgerow, a good-size flock 
of Red Knots on Short Beach, and 14 species of warblers including several 
cooperative male Cape Mays. 

Cheers!

[nysbirds-l] Re: [nysbirds-l] Wilson’s Plover continues (Suffolk)

2019-05-16 Thread Brendan Fogarty
 Still there as of 1030, resting by itself.

Another way to get to the plover is to walk down the dirt road leading west
from the parking lot at Cupsogue. You’ll pass three sandy parking areas for
off-road vehicles on your right. The third one will have fencing between
the parking stalls, and each of these pieces of fencing has a number.  At
the far end of that third parking lot, across from stall 34 or so, there is
a path way out to the beach marked with a large orange traffic cone by
snowfencing. The bird was just a few yards west of where that path ends at
the beach, resting by itself within the plover fenced area.

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler, Central Park, NYC (Thursday 5/16)

2019-05-16 Thread Thomas Fiore
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City -
Thursday, 16 May, 2019

A SWAINSON'S WARBLER has been reported by Benjamin Van Doren on his personal 
twitter feed, with precisely these comments (quote): “Swainson’s Warbler seen 
and singing just north of Bow Bridge in the Ramble”.   That location is a 
famous bridge which connects the southern edge of the Ramble with paths leading 
east towards Bethesda Fountain, and west towards the s.w. corner of the Lake. 
This is roughly mid-park between east & west sides of the park, and roughly 
near about E. or W. 73rd Street in “latitude”.  The general area can be busy 
with tourists and etc. - please be courteous as many non-birders will be 
present at all times.  It’s not clear exactly how far ‘north’ of Bow Bridge in 
the Ramble this warbler was first found, but obviously, just look for other 
birders, & inquire.

Absolutely no playback, or playing of any recordings or other sound-making 
ought be done in the area of this bird. Additionally, and as posted in the 
park, any playing of amplified sounds without express written permission of the 
City of New York is prohibited by law. Please respect it.  We will be notifying 
the N.Y.P.D. and NYC Parks Enforcement as to the possibility of extra ‘traffic’ 
should this bird be re-found (and even if not, as many will be seeking it). 
Thanks to T. Healy for placing the above report [by B.Van Doren] on this list 
in good time!

In addition to this find, there are thousands of fresh migrants in Central Park 
alone this day, with already more than 25 species of other warblers found, 
including Kentucky (in the north woods), and a report of a Cerulean, etc. - 
many, many more thrushes, vireos, & other migrants have dropped in, ahead of, 
thru, &/or after the rains which fell overnight in the area.

A Philadelphia Vireo was at Hallett Sanctuary in the park’s southeast ‘corner’, 
seen early from outside the n.e. portion of the sanctuary, west of Gapstow 
bridge. All of the park has birds, and in many locations therein, many, many 
migrants.  A lot more in flyctachers, with Olive-sided Flycatcher in at least a 
few locally-known usual sites, and many more Empidonax [genus] flyctachers, 
some of them giving calls and even a few singing.  Both species of cuckoo are 
also present.  Further, EVENING Grosbeak, likely at least two individuals, were 
heard & one glimpsed in the Ramble quite early this morning; be attentive to 
calls, which may or may not be loud, or be from high in trees or in-flight in 
that area.

good birding,

Tom Fiore

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point

2019-05-16 Thread Larry Trachtenberg
I assume most places had some movement last night. In 45 minutes at the Nature 
Center this a.m. (630-715) Kyle Bardwell and I must have had a dozen warbler 
species including male bay breasted, blackburnian and cape may.  Ball field 
puddle still had five shorebird species and purple martin house occupancy is 
increasing before Memorial Day price increase. Work intervened before other 
areas of the park including the land fill could be checked.  

And Spring came too!
