Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Western Kingbird at Croton Point Monday, with new observation point
The WEKI was seen at the usual spots at Croton Point Park by 7-8 people between about 7:45 and 11:20. Today it was seen low in the brushy area on the cap only early, around 7:45, AFAIK. Around 8:45 it appeared in the high dead snags that it favors, then moved a bit west to the tree with all the berries. That tree is right on the main road about 300 feet west of the high snags. Then it returned to the high snags. Both of those tree perches are not very good for getting a really good view of the bird. A scope is desired. However, I discovered a new vantage point. Pay at the kiosk (free after 5:00 on weekdays), then immediately turn right and drive up to the field where they fly model airplanes. Park and walk south. It is easy to find a vantage point to see the same dead snags from here. You will be in the shade, 30 feet higher, and closer to the bird. I will soon post photos that I took from this new vantage point on the New York Birders facebook page.

[nysbirds-l] Croton Pt. birds
Went to look for the Upland Sandpiper at Croton Pt. today with no luck. Stayed on the dump for 2+ hours and only had some Bobolinks, a Harrier, an eagle, and an osprey. There were lots of butterflies though. The Western Kingbird was still in the same spot on the tree line across from the beginning of the dump coming from the ballfield. Andrew Andrew v. F.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler (4th day), Central Park, NYC 8/19
Monday, 19 August, 2019 Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - A male Prothonotary Warbler has lingered in Central Park’s southeast ‘corner’ by The Pond, at the west edges of Hallett Sanctuary in particular, since first found & photographed by Junko Suzuki on Friday, 8/16 - on Monday 8/19, although tough to spot at times, when in deeper foliage & less viewable parts of that area, it’s been moving into view at times. The area where seen most often is at the narrow western ‘arm’ of the pond, & this location is closest to a park entrance at Sixth Ave. & Central Park South. Patience may be rewarded! The Prothonotary was still showing somewhat well into late Mon. afternoon when I left the area. Also in the same area (Hallett Sanctuary & The Pond) in Central Park over these past 3 days, thru Monday, have been Hooded Warbler, Prairie Warbler, & at least 5 other warbler species, as well as a few other expected migrants. A drake Wood Duck has been an ongoing regular on the Pond. Central Park had its first migrant thrushes with both Veery & Swainson’s Thrushes appearing, in very low numbers, over this past weekend. Many Blue-gray Gnatcatchers have been on the move. At least a few migrants have been coming in to the smaller parks & greenspaces of Manhattan including a modest variety in species of warblers. A different Hooded Warbler, likely one that’s been lingering, was in the area of ‘Tanners’ Spring’ & the south slope of Summit Rock, near W. 83rd St. in Central Park at least thru Sunday 8/18. … Incindentally, at least a modest incursion of Prothonotary Warbler had occurred in the greater northeast over about the past week, some making it quite far north of the northern or eastern known limits of their breeding range. One of those was photographed at a bird-bath on the mid-coast of Maine, which also recently had a Brown Booby (farther ‘downeast’ - means even farther northeast, in sailing parlance), another species having quite an incursion far north of what had been some semblance of geographic limits. Good quietly-observant birding to all, 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/ --
