BEGIN TAPE

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for *Friday, December 9th
2022* at 11pm. The highlights of today's tape are PAINTED BUNTING,
PINK-FOOTED and GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE, EURASIAN WIGEON, HARLEQUIN
DUCK, BLACK-HEADED GULL, MARBLED GODWIT, RED CROSSBILL, YELLOW-BREASTED
CHAT and more.

A fairly bright female plumaged PAINTED BUNTING showed up Thursday at the
feeders at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area and was still being seen
there today. The park entrance is at the end of Slice Drive and Oceanside.

Out in Northport on Long Island the PINK-FOOTED GOOSE, first seen at the
Northport High School back on November 27th, was still present last weekend
but it and the accompanying Canada Goose flock do range considerably around
that area. The PINK-FOOTED has also been seen southwest of there at
Greenlawn Memorial Park and over on Tung Ting Pond in Centerport. So the
flocks, which also include single GREATER WHITE-FRONTED and CACKLING GEESE,
can require some effort to track them down. A GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE
also continues to visit and roost on a small pond off Bowman Avenue in Rye
Brook, Westchester County by the Rye Bridge shopping center. A drake
EURASIAN WIGEON was still on a Mill Pond east of Lake Avenue in Oyster Bay
Sunday and a HARLEQUIN DUCK has been seen recently at Point Lookout where 2
PIPING PLOVERS were still around on Wednesday.

A BLACK-HEADED GULL was reported out at the tip of Breezy Point last Sunday
along with 3 LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS a few of the latter still lingering
around.

Five MARBLED GODWITS remain in Jones Inlet often seen on the bar off the
West End Coast Guard Station. A LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER was also reported
there Tuesday and up to 9 RED CROSSBILLS have been feeding in the West End
pines all week. Other LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS continue at Santapogue Creek
in West Babylon.

A decent number of RAZORBILLS were seen today out at Orient Point by
passengers on the Orient to New London Ferry. A COMMON GALLINULE has been
present recently on the Mill Pond north of Merrick Road in Wantagh and
AMERICAN BITTERNS have returned to the marshes along Dune Road.

A YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT was reported at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge on
Sunday and besides several lingering ORANGE-CROWNEDS some other warblers
noted this week included OVENBIRD, NASHVILLE, AMERICAN REDSTART in Prospect
Park, a CAPE MAY in Union Square Park, a YELLOW at Calvert Vaux Park and
BLACK-THROATED BLUE.

As Christmas Count season is about to begin please call in count results
for inclusion here.

To phone in reports, call Tom Burke at (914) 967-4922.

This service is sponsored by the Linnaean Society of New York and the
National Audubon Society. Thank you for calling.

Philip Ribolow just reported that the Hammond’s Flycatcher (see initial second hand report from me last night below) was re-found by John Hass on the Bashakill Birch Trail.

The flycatcher hadn't been seen since early this morning, but I was able to
refind it a bit ago at the back of an old field across the wetland from the
trail where it had previously been seen. Currently being seen in that same
spot: (41.5190758, -74.5338648).
