Hardcopy documentation should be mailed to: Gary Chapin - Secretary NYS Avian Records Committee (NYSARC) 125 Pine Springs Drive Ticonderoga, NY 12883 Hotline: New York City Area Rare Bird Alert Number: (212) 979-3070 Compiler: Tom Burke Coverage: New York City, Long Island, Westchester County Transcriber: Gail Benson Greetings! This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 19, 2023 at 11:00 p.m. The highlights of today's tape are LARK BUNTING, CRESTED CARACARA, ANHINGA, PAINTED BUNTING, BLACK-NECKED STILT, WHITE-FACED IBIS, CATTLE EGRET, PROTHONOTARY and YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK and more. Last Sunday a striking male LARK BUNTING in full breeding plumage was found around the parking lot at Hot Dog Beach off Dune Road in East Quogue, the bird continuing there through Tuesday but not seen thereafter. On Wednesday a CRESTED CARACARA was photographed as it followed a tractor working a private farm field out in Amagansett. Unfortunately, later attempts to relocate the CARACARA were unsuccessful, but it could likely still be in that general area. An ANHINGA was photographed last Sunday as it circled up over Wolfe's Pond Park on Staten Island, eventually soaring off out of sight. Then on Monday, a female-type PAINTED BUNTING was photographed right near Wolfe's Pond as it visited feeders at the Trap House off Chester Avenue. The BLACK-NECKED STILT continuing at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area was last reported there last Saturday.| A WHITE-FACED IBIS was spotted yesterday afternoon with some GLOSSY IBIS at the marsh adjacent to the East Marina at the Timber Point Golf Course in Great River, while a CATTLE EGRET appeared last Sunday at the Cemetery of the Resurrection on Staten Island. Reports of an immature ICELAND GULL came from Central Park last Saturday, then at the Riverside Park boat basin on Tuesday, and lastly off Robert Moses State Park today, and single CASPIAN TERNS were noted at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge last Saturday and Brooklyn's Plumb Beach on Tuesday. A RED-HEADED WOODPECKER has been visiting the Rockefeller State Park Preserve in Westchester recently, often between the Park's Visitors Center and the nearby section of the Overlook Trail. A PROTHONOTARY WARBLER in Prospect Park Sunday was followed by one photographed Tuesday flying south past Breezy Point, perhaps correcting for a previous overshoot that brought it farther north than it had intended. Last Sunday, YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS were noted in Central Park and Forest Park as well as continuing at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great River. A KENTUCKY WARBLER occurred in Prospect Park last Sunday, and MOURNING WARBLERS have recently begun to appear locally. A SUMMER TANAGER was noted in Central Park from Tuesday on, while a few BLUE GROSBEAKS this week featured birds at Breezy Point and Kissena Park Tuesday and Floyd Bennett Field Wednesday as well as out in Calverton. An EVENING GROSBEAK came through Coney Island Creek Park Wednesday, and some spring arrivals this week featured CHUCK-WILL'S-WIDOW, ALDER, and YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHERS and BICKNELL’S THRUSH. 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.
