Tom,

Thanks again for the updates.

Correction to the CACG report. The name on the checklist and the photo of the 
Cackling Goose are both from Cathy Weiner ... not Annie Barry:

Also well worth noting is the [Richardson’s] Cackling Goose photo’d. by Annie 
Barry at Governors Island (which is closed to general public access for the 
winter & into early spring) on the previous Thursday, 2/11; the report is at

All the best.

Re: [nysbirds-l] N.Y. County/Manhattan (NYC), 9/11-15 - RED Phalarope, Dunlin, E. Whip-poor-will, 22+ Warbler spp., etc.

Brooklyn is just a stones throw from Manhattan and here you mention NJ.

Some may have seen the bird-news that a MASKED Booby (in sub-adult plumage) was 
photographed off of Cape May, New Jersey, near Cold Spring Inlet, on Tuesday, 
9/15.
…..

N.Y. County (in N.Y. City), including Manhattan -
Friday, Sept. 11th, through Tuesday, Sept. 15th.

The noticeable haze in the air, despite a “Canadian cold front" having come in, 
reinforcing cooler temperatures for Tuesday, Sept. 15th - is haze from western 
wildfires - it is here, in the east. (That information is in part from 
scientists with the N.O.A.A. - National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration; 
as well as other public and independent institutions; the evidence is also 
visible in satellite imagery.)

The RED PHALAROPE seen by 100+ observers on Saturday 9/12, in Manhattan’s small 
shore-edge Stuyvesant Cove Park near E. 20th St. (park runs to E. 23rd also) as 
first discovered by Loyan Beausoleil was a great find for the county, where of 
course very rarely seen; happily the phalarope was also in close for most of 
the time for all to see. And there were also many many photos taken at close 
range - a likely ‘life’ bird for some, & almost certainly a 'N.Y. County-bird' 
for virtually all who came to see this. Even in its' near-basic plumage, a very 
special sighting!

An Eastern Whip-poor-will was found on the same day Saturday, 9/12, roosting in 
the Ramble of Central Park (at The Point) & seen by a smaller number of 
observers; that bird was also observed on to its fly-out time - by quiet & 
considerate watchers.

A first-fall CONNECTICUT Warbler was found on G. Willow’s walk in Bryant Park 
(midtown Manhattan) on Monday, 9/14, & photos were made of the bird by a 
walk-participant, & placed into the eBird library by Gabriel; this is the 2nd 
known of the species for N.Y. County this year, while a few were also being 
seen elsewhere in N.Y. City just recently. It is a possibility that this 
individual could stay a while at Bryant Park, as happens more than not with 
many migrants that seem to ‘stick’ in that location. Also thanks to G.W. for 
posting the report to this list-serve in time for others to go, on the day & 
subsequently although the only photo-documented sighting seems to have been by 
those in the initial group. (The 1st-known Connecticut of this year was a bird 
photographed by the observing team at the 9-11 Memorial’s ‘Tribute in Light” on 
the night of Sept. 11th, among various other birds recorded at that site on 
that night; in terms of numbers found, many were warblers, and of the warblers, 
a high percentage were made up of 3 species: N. Parula, Black-and-white, & 
American Redstart. At least 15 warbler spp. were identified there, on that 
night.) Photos in the eBird library of the latter, and other birds in the night 
at the memorial site are also worth a look! (as are the reports put out by at 
least 3 of the team members present.)

A DUNLIN, which is of course a very typical migrant & visitor to shores of 
southeastern N.Y., but decidedly rare in New York County, was found & 
photographed (by G. Willow) at Governors Island, on Tues., 9/15; also seen & 
photo’d by C. Weiner in the morning.  Also, and less surprisingly, that one 
observer noted 14 spp. of warblers on that island, for same date, an indication 
of the good passage of migrants for this mid-Sept. date, & some of the species 
in very large numbers for that site (such as Amer. Redstart in particular, and 
also N. Parula) along with v. good no’s. of Swainson’s Thrush, & also some 
increase of Yellow-shafted Flicker from prior recent (site) visits. Cathy W. 
also noticed that both forms of Palm Warbler were present there.

Later in the day, a few more observers came along to add Dunlin to their 
year-county lists, & of them, two also denoted both “Western” and “Yellow” 
[a.k.a. f.'eastern’] forms of Palm Warbler taxa were present, with several of 
each seen.

Incidentally, a prior record of Dunlin for the county had been on 10/18/2018 at 
Inwood Hill Park, when 7 individuals showed at that latter park’s mudflats on 
the lagoon. And also as a matter of interest, a relatively-recent record of Red 
Phalarope for Manhattan had been at Inwood Hill Park’s waters, on Oct. 29, 2012 
- this was the famous 'Superstorm Sandy’, a re-strengthened hurricane which 
devastated the region esp. along outer shores; indeed the effects of that storm 
affected life from the Caribbean to Florida and all the way north into

Re: [nysbirds-l] Today's 3 firsts

[Jonathan Andrew Perez]

Am I the only one who is extremely frustrated by the new E-Bird format?>
It is really not user friendly, you can no longer easily navigate the “explore 
locations” map, and entering species retroactively is much much harder because 
it is now in blocks and doesn’t recognize things like “San Francisco” .  Before 
I could just explore the entire country and click a location then submit.

I know e-birds is all for good and for breeding surveys it is excellent. But 
please make it easier or things will go underreported.

Got out for a little birding around Riverhead this gorgeous afternoon, and was 
duly rewarded. Found my 1st Killdeer of the season at the Riverhead Buffalo 
Farm, c/o Roanoke & Reeves Aves. While driving through the Riverhead Vulture 
Roosting Area, in addition to the single, airbourne Turkey Vulture (Lonesome 
George ?) I noticed a large dark bird on the antena of the Riverhead Fire House 
on Roanoke Ave. Spurred on by the memory of the Black Vulture I had found there 
on 3/26, I was both disappointed and surprised by the Osprey that was waiting 
for me ! This bird was also my 1st of the season, as well as being the very 1st 
of this species I've seen resting on this structure.

Cheers,
Bob

Except for what built into a group of 7 feeding in the area for about 20 
minutes, all were purposefully moving through in various southerly

also well south of Croton Point, so those would all have been different birds. 
Who knows how many were moving through on a broad front?
