[nysbirds-l] Townsends Warbler, more exact location? FRI., 12/29 Forest Park, Queens County, NY
Apologies if the following appears in this list-serve shortly - hello Queens County birders, how about a location within large Forest Park in Queens, N.Y. City for the Townsends Warbler thats apparently now understood to have lingered for weeks there, and refound a few times by now, and by 12/29 seen by multiple observers. Thanks! —- The 7th day in a row In Bronx County NYC, for the lingering MacGillivrays Warbler that has been seen Fri. morning by multiple obs, in the area of parking lot at southwest cor. of West 231 St, and Independence Ave., also seen, and heard chipping from a weedy lot immediately west away from that parking lot - these sites can be viewed from and next to W. 231 St, a public NYC street. Observers are still coming to find this Bronx warbler from multiple other counties, and the same will be so for any findable, lingering vagrant, such as the lingering Townsends Warbler in Queens. For the Riverdale-Bronx locations, please do not walk or drive into the property of the large nursing home, birders have specifically been requested to no-longer go in to those private areas. It seems the MacGillivrays has been showing a bit more near 231 St, south side of that street. Good birding to all, Tom Fiore manhattan -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")

[nysbirds-l] Captree CBC Summary (Suffolk Co.)
The Captree Christmas Bird Count took place Sunday, December 17, 2023. The Captree CBC circle extends from Amityville in the west to Sayville in the east, and from Robert Moses State Park in the south to Commack in the north. Weather on the count day was relatively mild, with winds 10-15 kts from the ESE and temps ranging from 48-54 F. Forecasted rain held off until the late afternoon and did not interfere with the count. A total of *133 species* were recorded, which represents the fourth-highest species total since the Captree CBC was started in 1962 (144 species in 1971 remains the all-time high). One new species, Black-throated Blue Warbler, was added to the all-time species list. Noteworthy sightings include: - 8 Cackling Geese (Connetquot, East) - Eurasian Wigeon (Connetquot) - Clapper Rail (East) - Semipalmated Plover (Jones) - Black-legged Kittiwake (Fire) - Iceland Gull (Jones) - American Bittern (Heckscher) - Snowy Egret (Gardiner) - Turkey Vulture (Gardiner) - Seaside Sparrow (East) - Black-throated Blue Warbler (Gardiner) An incredible 14 high counts were set, mostly attributable to the mild weather preceding the count and long-term population trends for certain species: - 216 Mute Swans - 20 Greater Yellowlegs - 159 Double-crested Cormorants - 8 Bald Eagles - 11 Peregrine Falcons - 61 Monk Parakeets - 73 Tree Swallows - 20 Ruby-crowned Kinglets - 2134 American Robins - 31 Gray Catbirds - 177 Northern Mockingbirds - 210 Boat-tailed Grackles - 5 Orange-crowned Warblers - 6 Pine Warblers Thank you to the Seatuck Environmental Association for graciously hosting the compilation at the Suffolk County Environmental Center, to the Great South Bay Audubon Society for sponsoring the compilation dinner, and to all participants for volunteering for the CBC.
