[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel

[Mickey Scilingo]

I spent my morning birding around the Cayuga/Wayne County line near Lake 
Ontario, with a migrant WHIMBREL being the highlight for the day.  

I was birding along the West Bay Beach in Fair Haven in Cayuga County, just on 
the western side of Little Sodus Bay, when I heard a series of 7-10 short, 
repeated notes over and over again.  It took me a few seconds to realize I was 
hearing the call of a Whimbrel.  I followed the sound to eventually find the 
bird doing circles over the lake, looking as if it wanted to land.  I watched 
it for a few minutes as it circled around, but instead of landing, it just kind 
of straightened out its path and headed south over the bay.  Aside from the 
Whimbrel, the only other notable migrants I saw here were a few YELLOW WARBLERS.

In Wayne County, driving west along Kakat Rd, some highlights included a GREEN 
HERON, a Red-Tailed Hawk on the ground mantling some prey alongside the road, 
and an immature BALD EAGLE overhead.  I drove to the end of Broadway Rd and 
found 2 more juvenile eagles soaring over the lakeshoreand then 2 more 
for a total of 5 young Bald Eagles flying together.  They stayed in the general 
area just cruising overhead, not really going anywhere but just enjoying riding 
the breeze off the lake.

I backtracked east on Kakat Rd to take the next road that headed north to the 
lake - Howland Rd, and found an adult Bald Eagle perched in a tree along the 
lake shore about 1/4 mile west of the end of the road.  This strengthened my 
suspicion that there must be a nest somewhere nearby.  Its amazing to see how 
well this species has recovered in this sate.  Also, a SPOTTED SANDPIPER 
literally jumped out into the road in front of me and led me 0.3 miles down the 
road (at speeds up to 17 MPH) before finally veering off back into the grass.  
Another family saved, I guess - although I would think it is a bit late for 
that.  Who knows?

I next visited the Black Creek Marsh Unit of the Lakeshore Marshes WMA at the 
end of Fields Hill Rd.  There was a trail of beaten down vegetation from where 
some vehicles had gone around the barrier posts designed to keep them out, so I 
followed it north for a bit.  About 700 feet down the makeshift path I came to 
an area near where a tree had fallen down, and found a nice pocket of birds, 
including 3 HOUSE WRENS, several CHICKADEES, an OVENBIRD, a BROWN CREEPER, 3 
TOWHEES (including one kinda ugly looking juvenile), a CATBIRD, 3 COMMON 
YELLOWTHROATS, a PEWEE, 2 CARDINALS, a DOWNY WOODPECKER, a BLUE-GRAY 
GNATCATCHER, a HUMMINGBIRD and 2 CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLERS.

On the way home, I drove past the pony farm on Lamson Rd in Lysander (Onondaga 
County).  There were 2 KILLDEER and 1 PECTORAL SANDPIPER near the pond, and 8 
more KILLDEER spread out in the grass.

At the State Fair parking lots in Syracuse I counted 43 KILLDEER and 0 
Golden-Plovers.

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel

[Peter Schoenberger]

Susan Rogers and I were kayaking in the Hudson River, just south of  
Saugerties lighthouse in Saugerties, Ulster Co. There is a blue roofed  
house that sits on a narrow peninsula . Just south of it, there is a  
bay on the western shore. In that bay we were watching peeps on the  
water chestnut when we noticed a larger bird way out. We were amazed  
to find a Whimbrel working the water chestnut. The bird moved around a  
bit, but stayed in the area. It was still there as it was getting dark.

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel - Staten Island

[Jose Ramirez-Garofalo]

At approx. 12:10PM I had a Whimbrel on the beach at Wolfe's Pond Park on
Staten Island-

After about ten minutes it flew off in the direction of Great Kills
Park/Oakwood Beach, which are generally good spots to find Whimbrel.

Good birding,

Jose

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel irruption year

[Joshua Malbin]

We're having a bumper crop this year. I saw two today, one flying east to
west past Coney Island and a second at Plumb Beach. These are my 8th and
9th sightings of the species in Brooklyn for the year, and in normal years
I see it maybe once. Two of those sightings involved multiple individuals,
five one time and three the other.

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel - west Pond

[zach schwartz-weinstein]

Hi, I just had a whimbrel fly fairly low over my head at the west pond near
the breach.  Looked like it may have landed on the north side of the pond
somewhere.  The Acadian flycatcher was present on the trail south of big
johns.

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel-Cupsogue Beach

[lstocker]

Jim Cullen and I viewed a Whimbrel at Cupsogue Beach this afternoon on the 
falling tide.The bird hung around for about 10 minutes before flying 
westward.An interesting aspect was that this bird appeared to be very light in 
coloration.Not sure if it was due to light conditions but keep an eye out.
Thanks

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel at Jones Beach

[Sy Schiff]

Jones Beach West End Jetty  3 Sep

Joe Guinta and I (Sy Schiff) walked down to the ocean through the swale and did 
not see a single shorebird. However, Sanderling and Semipalmated Sandpipers 
were scattered all over the wrack line from there to the jetty.  At the jetty 
we walked approx, a quarter mile north along the jetty to the previously 
mentioned "lagoon", now a dried out depression on our right.

Two WHIMBREL were visible on some wrack at that point. They walked left, to and 
then through the jetty, to a sand bar on the inlet side while we watched. We 
continued north to another area of sand and vegetation similar to the swale. 
Later, as we retraced our steps south, the whimbrel flew north into this area. 
Look for the birds from the ocean north to a white maintenance building. Look 
on both sides of the jetty and in any flats on your right.  (DO NOT WALK OUT ON 
THE NARROW SAND PATCH ON THE INLET SIDE OF THE JETTY. WHEN THE TIDE IS MOVING 
IN, IT TURNS TO QUICKSAND.)

The sand bar at the marina had about a hundred Black Skimmers and another 
hundred Oystercatchers in addition to the usual shorebirds. A Merlin flew by a 
few times stirring the pot.

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel at big egg marsh

[Isaac Grant]

Went during high tide today and found a Whimbrel roosting with Black-bellied 
Plovers out on the marsh. There were a couple hundred shorebirds in total. Most 
were Dunlin and Black-bellied Plover. But there were also Least Sandpiper, both 
Yellowliegs and Willet. 

For those that don't know, this is near Jamaica Bay. It is at the end of the 
road just before you get on the bridge to the rockaways.

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel on Dune road, Hampton Bays

[Pat Aitken]

There was a report on Facebook of a sighting yesterday that a Whimbrel was
found in the salt marsh, North of dune rd and west of the ponquogue Bridge
Saturday afternoon at about 4PM (2/12/22).   There was cell  phone footage
for Identification purposes since it’s usually not seen in NY this time of
year, which looked like it was indeed a Whimbrel

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel etc. Dune Road, Hampton Bays.

[Anthony Collerton]

Best birds along Dune Road this morning included a Whimbrel, a Yellow-crowned 
Night-Heron and an American Bittern (my second in the area this week - photos 
on eBird later).

Cupsogue was quiet with 5 Black Terns probably the best thing on this morning's 
rising tide.

A quick sea-watch produced only the wrong kind of "Sula"

Re: [nysbirds-l] Whimbrel at Breezy Point, Queens NY

[Isaac Grant]

That Whimbrel photo seems to show a Eurasian Whimbrel. Looks like a white line 
going up the back in the one photo and barred whitish tail. Super cool.

The Eurasian Whimbrel doesn't have a white line up the back but a white
wedge, broad at the base and narrowing up to a point in the middle back.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Whimbrel at Breezy Point, Queens NY

[Angus Wilson]

Like Bob Paxton I was initially puzzled by the square shape of the white
wedge, especially in first image (ML94655071) but accept it looks a little
better in the second image (ML94655101). Is it correc to assume the dark
blob is the heavy barring on the upperside of the tail?

I considered Greater Yellowlegs based on the first image but that ID would
be hard reconcile with seeing a decurved bill (mentioned in Cesar's
original posting) but with the caveat that the bill shape is hard to
discern from the photos accompanying the checklist. That said, I'm not
seeing an obvious foot extension beyond the tail, which does fit with it
being a Whimbrel. Are there any more photos even if not as sharp?

So-called 'White-rumped Whimbrels' are genuine vagrants to eastern North
America with a handful of April and May records. Tagging such birds as
either 'European' or 'Eurasian/Siberian' is tricky because three subspecies
(N. p. phaeopus, N. p. alboaxillaris and N. p. variegatus) need to be
considered. Steppe Whimbrel (alboaxillaris) is no longer numerous and
pretty unlikely, but the other two are serious contenders, with nominate
'European' Whimbrel (phaeopus) more likely perhaps in spring and the very
similar 'Siberian' Whimbrel (variegatus) a sensible possibility in the
fall. If I recall correctly, the tail and upper tail coverts of variegatus
are darker than phaeopus.

Fun stuff!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Whimbrel at Breezy Point, Queens NY

[Brent Bomkamp]

Not to present too provocative of an opinion, but there may be an argument
that this bird is a Eurasian Curlew.  The second photo shows significant
barring in the secondaries extending into the inner primaries.  This
feature is absent in both “European” and “Eurasian” Whimbrel, which show a
clean demarcation between the secondaries and primaries, with the primaries
being darker and only slightly barred on the inner webs of the innermost
feathers.  This is depicted in figures 9 and 10 on p. 110 of O’Brien,
Crossley, and Karlson.

However, this feature is obvious in Eurasian Curlew as drawn in Svensson
and Grant.  A quick Google image search shows the characteristic as well.
Perhaps birders with greater palearctic experience could corroborate this
conclusion.

While O’Brien et al refers to European Whimbrel as a spring vagrant to the
east coast and Eurasian Curlew as a fall visitor, records are sporadic
enough that no trend is obvious.  In addition, on eBird most Eurasian
Curlew records from the Massachusetts/New York area appear to be from the
late winter-early spring time frame.

Depending on one’s perspective, the sole verbal description of the bird as
having a “...long curved bill...” could be seen as additional support for
Curlew, as compared with the relatively shorter curved bill of Whimbrel.
However, lacking further description by the observer including body
coloration, structure, underwing pattern, and vocalizations, neither
species can be conclusively supported IMO.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Whimbrel at Breezy Point, Queens NY

[Doug Gochfeld]

Hi Brent and all,

I think that this bird looks within range for European Whimbrel (
*N.p.phaeopus*). European Whimbrels have more extensive white on the
underwings than do our American ones, and this taxon seems an okay fit for
the bird in question. The upperwing looks okay for either species, and I
don't see anything about the bird that compellingly points towards Eurasian
Curlew.

The bill looks acceptable for Whimbrel as well, with the obvious caveat
that the angle of the photos is far less than optimal for assessing shape
and length.

All this said, the quality of the photos limits the amount that we can
definitively draw from the photos provided.

-Doug

Steve Schellenger just called to report a Whimbrel on the spit near
the Coast Guard Station at Jones Beach on Long Island.  Good luck if
you try for it and thanks again to Steve for the quick report.

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel at Cedar Beach, Southold (Suffolk Co.)

[John Gluth]

Saturday afternoon I found 3 WHIMBREL on the low tide flats and bars at Cedar 
Beach in Southold. Only a small number of other southbound migrant shorebirds 
were present, including ~12 Least and a few Semipalmated sandpipers, among the 
locally breeding Willet and Oystercatchers. The Least Tern nesting colony was 
well populated (at least 50 birds).

Later, at Arshamomaque Preserve (5:45-7:30), I saw two of the  previously 
reported LEAST BITTERN family group--both were juveniles. They spent an 
extended amount of time perched in cattails and Marsh Mallow growing at the 
edge of the pond, where they engaged in some preening. They eventually 
clambered back out of sight into the vegetation, only to re-emerge and fly a 
short distance, only one remaining visible after landing. It too soon melted 
back into the reeds.

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel, Timber Pt GC, East Marina area, Suffolk

[Mike Scheibel]

Apologies for the late post; about 1 pm today, the 24th, acting on an earlier 
(morning) report, Bob P. & I walked SW from the E  marina parking lot; after 
observing 4 Pectoral Sands,  two Whimbrel were found along the bay shoreline 
near Hole #6 where they landed in a sandy area for several minutes then moved 
onto the grassy tee (closer to where I stood) a few minutes later they flew N 
toward the center of the GC and appeared to land near a large flock of Brant 
and other birds; they were not relocated during the next ~30 minutes I remained 
on site.

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel @ Cedar Beach, Southold (Suffolk County) -- 7/27

[Angus Wilson]

Actually there were 3 Whimbrel in the Cedar Beach Creek at low tide this
morning, along with 8 of the commoner shorebird species. Much like Cow
Meadow (Nassau Co.) was in the past, this seems to be a favored stopover
spot for Whimbrel with several present for the past two weeks or so. There
were five as recently as Wednesday. Also of local note, there were 9 Royal
Terns on the Robbin's Island spit. This number should grow as we move into
late summer and early fall.

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel/ Godwits continue at Cupsogue Beach, L.I., August 23rd

[Carl Starace]

 Hello Everyone, To see a Whimbrel fly and feel the earth swaying in the
very same day. Hey, now that's something special. This was D. Belanger's and
my 3rd consecutive sighting at Cupsogue this month. The Marbled Godwits were
front and center this morning as we moved about the flats searching for the
6th Godwit and the Whimbrel. We were studying a Western Willet when we heard
the Whimbrel calling. As we spun around it flew right by us continuing its
call notes and heading towards Moriches Inlet. Byron Young came later and
related he'd had 4 Black Terns at Mecox Bay in Watermill. Good August
Birding,[especially post IRENE],Carl Starace  p.s. go to youtube,
search for "curlew capers",Long Live Curlews.

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel at West End, Jones Beach State Park (Nassau Co.)

[Ken Feustel]

At 9:00AM there was a Whimbrel feeding on the exposed mud flats just east of 
the West End 2 marina, perhaps the same bird reported yesterday. The 
basic-plumaged Red-throated Loon continued in the boat basin, in the company of 
three Black Scoters.
