Re: [nysbirds-l] NYC Area RBA: 20 May 2016
Doesn't the fact the Chucks-will's-widow was flushed a "few times before
disappearing"
suggest it was being unduly disturbed and perhaps even harassed?

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 20th 2016
at 10pm. The highlights of today's tape are WILSON'S PHALAROPE,
CHUCK-WILL'S-WIDOW, LEAST BITTERN, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK,
PROTHONOTARY WARBLER, YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER, GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER,
MOURNING WARBLER, PHILADELPHIA VIREO, BICKNELL'S THRUSH and RED-HEADED
WOODPECKER.
A good week with very good variety but no exceptional rarities. Among the
non-passerines probably the most excitement surrounded the LEAST BITTERN
that remained in decent view perched in a tree last Sunday in Prospect Park
Brooklyn and last Sunday a male WILSON'S PHALAROPE, the less colorful sex
in Phalaropes, was spotted in the Captree marsh west of the Robert Moses
Causeway. Also present there among the fairly large assemblage of
shorebirds were 4 WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS and 2 STILT SANDPIPERS were seen
there again Tuesday. Last Saturday at Jones Beach West End a
CHUCK-WILL'S-WIDOW was flushed a few times before disappearing and
interestingly an EASTERN WHIP-POOR-WILL was found singing there Monday
evening. Finishing the non-passerines last Sunday single RED-HEADED
WOODPECKERS were seen at Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn and on the north
fork at the Ruth Aleva Preserve in East Marion and 2 continue at
Willowbrook Park on Staten Island.
Last Saturday single SUMMER TANAGERS were found at Jones Beach West End at
Marcy Woods south of Belmont Lake State Park and at Long Gardens in Stony
Brook and in the days following at Kissena Park in Queens Sunday and then
on Wednesday in Central Park and at the Rye Nature Center in Westchester.
The Marcy Woods bird was still there today. A BLUE GROSBEAK was spotted at
Connetquot River State Park last Sunday but could not later be relocated.
A PROTHONOTARY WARBLER was found at the Bronx Zoo last Saturday and another
appeared at Clove Lakes Park on Staten Island Sunday and Monday and today
one was reported appearing briefly at the Forest Park waterhole. A female
GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER visited Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn last Saturday
and a female CERULEAN WARBLER was spotted in Central Park yesterday. A
MOURNING WARBLER in Forest Park last Saturday and Sunday was followed by
others in Central Park from Sunday on, at Green-wood Cemetery Sunday, at
Prospect Park Tuesday and Wednesday and at Southards Pond Park in Babylon
yesterday. KENTUCKY WARBLERS appeared suddenly on Thursday with 2 in
Prospect Park and another in Central Park and one was at Valley Stream Park
today. YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS continue in Connetquot River State Park and
at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum. Otherwise among the 33 species of warblers
in the region have been some WORM-EATING, TENNESSEE, HOODED, CAPE MAY,
BAY-BREASTED, BLACKBURNIAN and WILSON'S as well as the more common species
at this point in the migration plus one or two late lingering species like
LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH and PALM.
Among the vireos 6 species occurred this week including a rather uncommon
Spring visit by a PHILADELPHIA noted in Central Park at least to Wednesday.
Flycatcher variety has increased thanks to the arrival of some late season
empidonax species starting with ACADIAN in Green-wood Cemetery last
Saturday, ALDER mostly north of the city and a YELLOW-BELLIED at the Rye
Nature Center since Monday. OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER appeared this week in
Central and Prospect Parks as well as at
