[nysbirds-l] Least Bittern Prospect Park
A Least Bittern found by Rafael Campos on Sunday was seen again yesterday by Simon Taylor and again this morning by Alie Ratay, Mike Yuan, and me. The bird has been spotted flying between patches of phragmites along the southern edge of the peninsula meadow, most often between the patches just to the east and west of the mulched beach area where there was recently a temporary sculpture. A Least Bittern was photographed by Donna Evans in mid-May close to this location, so it is possible it has been under our noses this whole time. -- 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/ --

[nysbirds-l] Least Bittern, Prospect Park, Kings Co. 5/15
An accommodating Least Bittern was still perched up in a nearly-bare tree in the little-birded "rose garden" area of Prospect Park Brooklyn (Kings Co.) NY, late in the day Sunday 15th of May - thanks hugely to the finder[s] & any re-finders of this special bird, and tip of the hat to Klemens Gasser on-scene later in the day, and to Rob Jett for an apparent off-field assist with further finding by a few of us almost-eve. observers. I'm curious to hear when the last of this species was found in Prospect. Late-day obs. also included R. Bate (whom thanks to for first posting to this list, on this bird) & Brenda Inskeep of CT, arriving with me, as well as some other birders. I believe Erin Markman was the original finder, and another birder[s] helped re-find it a bit later. The least bittern was mostly just hanging on (perched) at the upper part of the tree it was in, with a few feather-rufflings & a couple of startled looks when odd sounds emanated from very nearby Flatbush Ave. (traffic sounds, mainly...) - and it crawled just slightly on its thin branch perch as the sun dropped low. I did not hear any sound coming from the bird, at least thru after 6. Many observers likely got good photos or video of this little gem, thru the day - the location where seen is not far from the Grand Army Plaza entrance to this park. ... After a day that began partly with a singing male Bobolink, a Black- billed Cuckoo, & hunting N. Harrier in the east Bronx Co. Pelham Bay Park (southern section next to the landfill there), a great ending for just one Sunday's bird observations! good birding, Tom Fiore Manhattan kiusaamista vastaan - any place, & any time. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES 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://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
