NYC birders,

Was anyone able to record some of the recent MOWAs in Bryant or Central 
Parks?  I could use them for my study of songs of migrants.  These birds 
tend to be singing songs from either Nova Scotia or Newfoundland.  I 
already have some great recordings from some excellent birders in 
Brooklyn this year.

 the sluiceway to the bay. I was 11 and ran excitedly to tell my dad who came out to see for himself. Dad called Art Cooley and much excitement ensued! Our yard was very lively that week and while many photographs were taken, we would be hard pressed to locate

 storm-related vagrants by some.”

In light of modern knowledge of vagrancy in this species, perhaps these old 
records should be resurrected and sent to NYSARC for review?

Re: [nysbirds-l] Black-throated Gray, Kentucky, and Yellow0throated Warblers Heckcher SP, Suffolk County

[Sameer Apte]

Hi all,Jack Chaillet and I just had the Kentucky sing twice at this location: (40.7054152, -73.1617553). No visuals yet.The location is accessed by a spur trail off the Forty Foot Rd.Sameer ApteSent from my iPhoneOn May 30, 2024, at 8:15 AM, Shaibal Mitra  wrote:






On Tuesday 28 May, Mike Vedder found what he was pretty sure was a Kentucky Warbler, singing at Heckscher SP, Suffolk County, Long Island. The bird was not visible, and he was not able to obtain a recording. He called Patricia J. Lindsay, but she was birding
 Nickerson Beach, Nassau County, and thus unable to follow up the report until the following morning. On Wednesday morning, PJL readily heard the bird singing to the south of the Forty Foot Road, east of the Administration compound and west of where the road
 bends 90 degrees to the north. She called me, working at home, and I quickly joined her. The bird was singing constantly and nearer to the road now, and we reported this to the local birders as we waited for visual confirmation. Because the bird would sing
 for extended periods without moving from its perch, seeing it required patience, waiting until one saw it fly to a new perch that happened to be unobstructed by foliage. This accomplished, I turned attention to what sounded like a Yellow-throated Warbler,
 singing in the vicinity. I was not able to see this bird as it moved around the area, and I heard it last on the north side of the road opposite the Administration compound. We communicated this to our local contacts, including the Captree Birding Fiends (sic)
 and Keith Klein, and then returned to our nearby home to work.

 

Arriving a little later, John Gluth and Keith Klein readily found the Kentucky Warbler and turned attention to the YTWA-like song. This individual bird was sonsistently difficult to see as it foraged and sang high in the canopy, but as they sought it, they
 were astonished to see (and photograph) a male Black-throated Gray Warbler! They got the word out, and I was dragged from my desk for a second time that morning, but not before communicating their amazing discovery to the listserv.

 

By the time PJL and I arrived on site at 11:47, the Kentuck Warbler had gone silent, but the singer of the YTWA-like song was singing almost constantly, though roving about more widely than a territorial
Dendroica typically would—often around the corner where the 90 degree bend, two-track to the east, and Horseshoe Trail to the south intersect, but also as far to the southeast as the southern edge of the field east of the two-track. The possibility that
 this singer and the Black-throated Gray Warbler were the same loomed in our minds, and I was very desirous of seeing the bird, proving this by pursuing the song through the thigh-high grass of the afore-mentioned field when it appeared that the bird might
 be trending off in that direction. (The net result of this maneuver was continuous contact with the singer and just one adult male Lone Star Tick.)

 

Fortunately, the singer returned to the area of the 90 degree bend, where John and PJL and I were joined by Pat Palladino. Famously eagle-eyed, both Pats fixed on the singer and helped John and me get on it. We noted that it was in fact the Black-throated Gray
 Warbler! Singing almost constantly, it was relatively easy for newly arriving birders to track it around the area southeast of the 90 degree bend, but very difficult to see. In the afternoon, it I don’t think it ever ranged as far west or north as it had in
 the morning.

 

Two notes about Merlin: While we were waiting for views of the Kentucky Warbler in the morning, PJL turned on Merlin to pass the time (my phone is not and never has been allowed to think of such things). Although the app picked up in real time, and correctly
 identified, the American Redstarts, Yellow Warblers, Red-eyed Vireos, and Gray Catbirds we were hearing—and even discerned an almost impossibly distant Eastern Wood-Pewee, it flatly ignored the almost painfully loud songs of the Kentucky Warbler! Not even
 registering the existence of a bird at the moments it sang. Conversely, during our later stalking of the Black-throated Gray Warbler, Merlin consistently identifed its songs as those of Yellow-throated Warbler. My interpretation of these foibles is that the
 algorithm has probably been over-tweaked to emphasize geographical location and eBird frequency data (Kentucky Warbler is genuinely rare in Suffolk County, whereas Yellow-throated Warbler occurs here regularly). This sort of AI stupidity would be an understandable
 consequence of attempts to solve Merlin’s notorious “Philadelphia Vireo Problem,” but it’s worth noting here so that future birders might know the indignities our generation is suffering in the quest for fully automated bird detection.

 

08:12 am Thursday the 30th—just go the call from PJL that Suzy Feustel has an Olive-sided Flycatcher at Heckscher. Stay Tuned.

whereas Yellow-throated Warbler occurs here regularly). This sort of AI 
stupidity would be an understandable consequence of attempts to solve Merlin’s 
notorious “Philadelphia Vireo Problem,” but it’s worth noting here so that 
future birders might know the indignities our generation is suffering in the 
quest for fully automated bird detection.

08:12 am Thursday the 30th—just go the call from PJL that Suzy Feustel has an 
Olive-sided Flycatcher at Heckscher. Stay Tuned.

Central Park Birders,

I see that Mourning Warblers are being seen regularly over the past few 
days.  I would really appreciate any recordings you might have for my 
study of singing migrants.

Re: [nysbirds-l] No sighting - Doodletown access?

[Alan Wells]

Hi Allan and all NYSBIRDS recipients,

Based on conversations with PIPC staff, all Doodletown trails are closed until 
further notice for repairing storm damaged trails. PIPC is estimating that 
repairs will not be completed until at least early summer. They will notify the 
public when repairs are complete. Parking along Rte 202/9W was closed for a 
number of months. It is now open to parking for accessing the public areas of 
Iona Island. There is also a small hiker’s parking lot off Seven Lakes Dr, but 
even if open, the Doodletown trails themselves are all closed.

The staff we spoke to were well aware that birders would likely try to sneak 
into the closed area but emphasized that area would be patrolled and anyone 
caught in the area would be issued a ticket.

Sorry for the bad news, but hope this clarifies things.

Alan Wells

[nysbirds-l] Re: [nysbirds-l] Re: Swainson’s Warbler Brooklyn Bridge Park

[Alex Tey]

Do note that there's a Northern Cardinal nest right next to the gravel area
at the SWWA spot in the Pier 5 uplands. The female has been going to the
nest and staying put despite birders getting very close, but let's try to
not stress her out.

The nest is in the rightmost (southernmost) of the three shrubs at these
coordinates: (40.6947339, -73.9998001)

Re:[nysbirds-l] Flaco

[Alan Drogin]

By now we all know the sad but inevitable news of Flaco’s demise.  I now know 
what a media circus feels like - a lot of people with agendas are taking 
advantage of the publicity - many for great causes like Lights Out legislation. 
 I’m all for honoring Flaco's memory, nevertheless, we should not confuse 
Flaco’s accident in a dark alleyway, whatever we eventually find out about it, 
with nighttime seasonal migration flyways.

But I don’t want to feed yet another human interest story here as this listserv 
is for aviary-interest news.

So, this past month I’ve observed a red-tail hawk hanging around the nearby 
Sailor-and-Soldiers monument in Riverside.  This morning to clear my head 
before a Zoom call with NY1 I noticed the red-tail has found a mate and one of 
them was snapping off twig material for a nest as the other was whistling.  
They won’t be competing for food with an unfamiliar escapee and hopefully their 
future fledglings will not be in any danger.  I wish them well in this circle 
of life.

Re: [nysbirds-l] photo-series of Bronx NYC Townsends Warbler - Sat., 12/30

[khoo . charlotte]


Hi Tom,
Lisa Johnson and I were the “anonymous“  finders of the Townsends warbler this 
morning at the MacG stakeout. 

Haha we were so focused on the MacG we didn’t give it as much attention as we 
probably should have, once we ruled it out.

Riverdale - western Bronx, N.Y. City - Saturday, December 30 ...

In the midday to afternoon hours, at West 231 St, about 40 yards / meters west 
of that streets junction with Independence Ave, was the presumed -non-hybrid- 
TOWNSENDS Warbler, found by still-anonymous birders - but brought to our 
collective attention thanks to Andrew Block - on Saturday, 12/30, and here is a 
link to an eBird checklist with a nice photo series of this warbler, for 
everyones inspection - thanks greatly to the photo work by T. Zahner -
https://ebird.org/checklist/S157516909

I also swung thru but later in the day, and it became increasingly 
dark-overcast perhaps limiting broad forays by that insectivore, for more than 
a dozen who came later, or some who lingered, with also a bit less in general 
bird activity - not counting such predatory birds in the vicinity as American 
Kestrel, Sharp-shinned or Coopers hawk, Red-tailed Hawks most frequently and 
Bald Eagle more than once overhead. Also incidentally seen, at least by me a 
bit closer to noon, were 3 Black Vultures moving somewhat northeast to 
southwest over the area.

Was this latest Townsends Warbler find actually in that area, in the Bronx, for 
days, or even weeks and just found only now? Cant really know the answer, but 
this sure feels like that old Patagonia, Arizona roadside rest area picnic 
table effect...
.
The MacGillivrays Warbler did show fairly well into the mid afternoon, that 
again on the south side of West 231 St., while the Townsends Warbler for the 
most part, when it was seen mid morning or later - stayed on, or mainly on the 
-north- side of the same steeet and virtually across from where the 
MacGillivrays was first spotted 8 days earlier on 12/23, by Julian Batista, a 
birder of the west Bronx.

Hopefully both of these rare warblers may stay thru this cold front thats 
pushing thru for Sunday, Dec. 31.

Thanks to all reporting on such rarities and all other birds,

Tom Fiore

Re: [nysbirds-l] MacGillivrays Warbler, W. 231 St., Bronx NYC Thursday 12/28

[Trachlar]


Tom thanks for all the updates. This bird really shows the importance of 
helping out on a Christmas Bird Count. I am not a Bronx birder but since a 
“stakeout location” was added to ebird for it in a mixed commercial/residential 
street in Riverdale it seems quite likely that but for the CBC and the great 
find by NYS Young birder Julian Batiste and Tom, the Macgillivrays Warbler may 
never have been reported or even noticed by anyone. Indeed who knows how long 
it lingered before the CBC?  I believe there still remain a few counts in the 
metropolitan area (Putnam County I know is 1/2/2024) and maybe that extra set 
of eyes will spot an unexpected warbler or even a red flanked bluetail - well 
not likely on the latter. 

So if you didn’t do a count this year please do one (or more) next year.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Little Blue Heron?

It's possible. It's a hard area to access, mostly viewed from across the
back of the harbor.

re:[nysbirds-l] N. Wheatear, Croton Pt. park, Westchester Co., NY 10/19

[Tom Fiore]

The great find by Larry Trachtenberg of basic-plumaged N. Wheatear, seen by 
many others later on Thursday, Oct. 19, also might beg the question, had the N. 
Wheatear at Croton Point about 5 weeks prior stayed in the area and only 
resurfaced for more viewers as of Oct. 19?

Thanks also for any further updates.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Northern Wheatear at Croton Point Landfill Westchester NY

[Trachlar]

I did two passes over landfill and along western edge w Kyle B, the second w a 
group. No luck w Wheatear but good looks at the Uppie Kyle picked out flying 
by.  Nine raptor species including all three falcons and red shoulder, a bit 
surprisingly no broadwing. Also, still very strong bobolink numbers (50 est.). 
The three pipits were a fall first.

Re: [nysbirds-l] COMMON RINGED PLOVER, Smith Point County Park (Suffolk Co) UPDATE 8/22

[Timothy Healy]

Ari Weiss and I refound the Common Ringed Plover on the rising tide at the Old Inlet mudflats this afternoon. The subflock of Semipalmated Plovers with which the bird was associating briefly settled in front of us approximately here (40.7268995, -72.9068523), but a marauding pair of juvenile Peregrines reshuffled the deck and the incoming water eventually covered that precise location. There did seem to be some resettled plovers gathering south of the massive dead tree southeast of that location, where the bird has been sighted in the past few days, but there was still regular turnover and initial scans did not resurface the bird. Other observers were arriving to search the area as we departed. Cheers,-Tim HOn Aug 22, 2023, at 8:02 AM, Brendan Fogarty  wrote:Hi everyone,The bird was seen by single observers on both 8/20 and yesterday afternoon 8/21.

Re:[nysbirds-l] COMMON RINGED PLOVER, Smith Point County Park (Suffolk Co) 8/19

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi everyone,

The bird was seen by single observers on both 8/20 and yesterday afternoon
8/21. Their reports, with photos, are on eBird. The bird has apparently
been in the same area, mostly south of a fallen large tree trunk out on the
flats.

Best,
Brendan

Re: [nysbirds-l] Interesting Flycatcher from Greenwood Cemetery Brooklyn NYC

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park warblers

[Shaibal Mitra]

One might expect that the Canadian wildfires would be likely to displace birds 
and other wildlife, and observations like these are potentially very valuable. 
Many readers of this list are intimately familiar with their local sites and in 
position to detect similar kinds of unusual occurrences involving forest birds 
this summer. The Kingbird Regional Editors would appreciate reports of this 
kind from thoughtful observers willing to provide some context from their local 
perspectives.

* This email originates from a sender outside of CUNY. Verify the sender before

This park has become quite a magnet for unexpected warbler species the last 
couple of weeks, especially singing males in lovely plumage. So far I've seen 
Magnolia, Northern Parula, Black-and-White, and Ovenbird...and though they 
don't all flag as rare, I bird this park a lot, and this seems very unusual 
here in this season. (They don't look or act like early migrants--is the 
consensus that these are birds displaced by the Canadian wildfires, or some 
other cause?) Seems worth keeping an eye out in the park for others as well
--Joe Wallace
P.S. Andrew Baksh's heartening report from Jamaica Bay reminded me of the 
Father's Day essay I wrote for Saw Mill River Audubon--and posted here--a few 
years back, about my Dad and that wonderful preserve. As it happens, he and it 
also appear in my latest piece, which is more about the 
places--landscapes--that speak most deeply to us. Dad had his, I have mine, and 
I always wonder if you all have one, too. Apologies if this is too o/t, but if 
you're interested:

Re: [nysbirds-l] Help Needed for Shorebirds

[tess]

I don't know anything about this property, but referring to them as 
'seasonal wetlands' might get someone's attention, even if everyone 
actually calls them the rain puddles.  Wetlands on federal park land are 
entitled to special protection & even if these don't actually qualify, 
it might get someone to pause and take a second look.

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] White-winged Tern @ Nickerson Beach Long Island, Nassau County.

[Ardith Bondi]

Yes, that parking regulation is in effect from 9-5:30, Memorial Day to Labor Day. Nassau County residents pay $15 if they have a leisure pass, which you have to pay for. They used to sell them at Nickerson, but they don’t anymore. Ardith BondiNYCwww.ardithbondi.comSent from my iPhoneOn Jun 8, 2023, at 10:45 AM, Trachlar  wrote:I just saw an ebird post that a single use one day pass to park at this Nassau County Park (for non-Nassau County residents) is $37 after 9 am (seriously), but free before then.

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] White-winged Tern @ Nickerson Beach Long Island, Nassau County.

[Trachlar]

I just saw an ebird post that a single use one day pass to park at this Nassau 
County Park (for non-Nassau County residents) is $37 after 9 am (seriously), 
but free before then. I have no idea if that is accurate or the cost for Nassau 
County residents, but be guided accordingly

Another quick update.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Captree June Count, 3 June 2023

[Shaibal Mitra]

Addendum:


Several locally rare breeding species were recorded, including a pair of 
Roseate Terns (both unbanded, as is generally true of the birds we see in 
southwestern Suffolk, which are suspected to be connected demographically to 
the old Cedar Beach colony), the now venerable Yellow-throated Warbler(s) along 
the lower Connetquot River, and several species in the Farmingdale 
“grasslands.” It has been many years since Horned Larks have nested on our 
portion of the barrier beach, but a few persist in fragments of habitat on the 
mainland, and one was detected this year, along with one Grasshopper and six 
Savannah Sparrows. All of these species are at least scarce and local more 
generally on Long Island, so their rarity is easy to perceive. In contrast, 
many generally common and widespread species are concerningly rare within our 
circle: Whip-poor-will (1), Wood Thrush (1, just the fourth record in nine 
years), Field Sparrow (2), Black-and-white Warbler (2), Prairie Warbler (1), 
and Scarlet Tanager (0).

Subject: [nysbirds-l] Captree June Count, 3 June 2023


* This email originates from a sender outside of CUNY. Verify the sender before 
replying or clicking on links and attachments. *

On Saturday 3 Jun 2023, thirty-one observers conducted the Captree June Count 
in southwestern Suffolk County, LI. It was the first cloudy day in many days, 
but without rain. A north-northeast breeze contributed to productive 
seawatching without unduly impeding the detection of marshbirds and landbirds. 
The early date of this year’s count fortuitously coincided with a definite 
flight of Neotropical migrant passerines, and the resulting total of 142 
species easily bested the previous record of 138 (2021) and greatly exceeded 
the nine-year average of 129.



Five new species and one new supra-specific taxon were added to the cumulative 
list of the “modern era,” 2015-present: Eurasian Collared-Dove, Lesser 
Yellowlegs (5), Red-necked Phalarope (377), Least Flycatcher, and Magnolia 
Warbler (4). The flight of Red-necked Phalaropes observed from Robert Moses 
State Park on 3 Jun followed several days of much higher than usual occurrence 
along Long Island’s ocean shore and was an astonishing highlight for those who 
witnessed it.



Among 26 new maxima, the most notable were 30 Wood Duck, 17 Black Duck, 33 Wild 
Turkey, 83 Chimney Swifts (perhaps reflecting at least in part a late push of 
migrants, as swifts and several species of swallows have been seen migrating 
along the outer beaches 2-4 Jun), 129 Black Skimmer (observed within the newly 
expanding Common Tern colony at Democrat Point, where it is hoped they will 
nest), 275 Wilson’s Storm-Petrel, 461 Common Grackle, 14 Blackpoll Warbler, and 
15 American Redstart. Both of the possible explanations for the high count of 
the last species are likely not obvious to most observers and deserve some 
explanation. One possibility is that this species is following the examples of 
Warbling Vireo and Northern Rough-winged Swallow in expanding its breeding 
distribution into the coastal plain of south-central Long Island, where all 
three were previously (and somewhat inexplicably) absent or nearly absent as 
breeders. The second is that the total reflects mostly migrants, as American 
Redstart occurs in the latest spring flights on Long Island, along with more 
familiar late passage-migrants like several recorded on this year’s CJC (e.g., 
Least and Acadian flycatchers, Magnolia and Blackpoll Warblers)--but also like 
several other common breeding species whose late-migrating populations are less 
obvious and familiar (e.g., Red-eyed Vireo and Common Yellowthroat).



One late migrant species that was decidedly not augmented much by birds in 
passage was Eastern Wood-Pewee, which was among nine regularly recorded species 
tallied at a new minimum for the modern period of the count. Others in this 
category that deserve watching include Clapper Rail, Downy Woodpecker, 
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Brown Thrasher (completely absent from the mainland and 
represented by just four individuals on the barrier beaches), Eastern Towhee, 
Baltimore Oriole, and Prairie Warbler. All of these were among the 18 species 
whose totals were 70% or less than their nine-year averages. Others in this 
category included Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Whip-poor-will, Field Sparrow, 
Brown-headed Cowbird, and Indigo Bunting. The similarity in the habitats 
favored by many of these species makes their coincident low abundances 
concerning.



No fewer than 19 regularly occurring species were tallied at 150% or more of 
their nine-year averages. Besides the new maxima noted above, it is worth 
drawing attention to 46 Common Loon (still migrating heavily along the ocean 
shore), 583 Common Tern, 113 Forster’s Tern, and 116 Purple

Sandpiper minutes ago. See her pin here: 
https://maps.app.goo.gl/9Fky3TWREDMdr8cHA?g_st=ic[1]For those of you thinking 
of twitching. Please be aware that there hasbeen a situation where some birders 
were denied entry to West End thismorning. Apparently, the person manning the 
toll booth indicated thata fishing pass was required. A few of us have taken up 
the charge toget this sorted out. As it was reported that even Empire Pass 
holderswere being denied entry.Darlene, shared that she got around the mess by 
quickly getting afishing license - see link - 
(https://decals.east.licensing.app/ [2]).Returned to the site with a fishing 
pole in tow and was able to gainentry. The latest in this sorry state of 
affairs is that I got NYState Parks to publicly state on Twitter 
(https://twitter.com/nystateparks/status/1662113576436355072?s=46=yCd8zvCt5vAwEYLwhkC5ww
 [3])that they are looking into the issue and will update me with a statusas 
soon as the LI regional office provides an explanation. Hopefully,it is sorted 
out in our favor soon.Cheers,“Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,

[nysbirds-l] Mourning Warblers - Re: nysbirds-l digest: May 12, 2023

[Jay Pitocchelli]

Was anyone able to record the Mourning Warblers singing in Central Park 
on Thursday morning (5/11) in Central Park reported by Tom Fiore?  If 
so, would you be willing to contribute them and any future recordings 
this season to my project studying migratory connectivity of MOWAs using 
songs of spring migrants (you can reply to this email with 
attachments).  Numerous recordings from the past suggest NYC is a 
hotspot for birds heading to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland to breed - see 
map link below.  Central Park is one area I am lacking song data.

Re: [nysbirds-l] 22 (yes, twenty-two) Anhingas - Rome NY

I figured they'd show up in NY soon.  A large flock of around 40 or I think it 
was was seen in MD heading north yesterday.  Nice.

 Hello all,

Haven’t seen this posted here yet - Matthew Voelker found and photographed a 
flock of at least 22 ANHINGAS this evening on the canal along Muck Rd in Rome, 
NY (Oneida County). The 22 he reported are still present in the fading light 
roosting in the trees across the canal, but further searching and careful 
counting could easily turn the count higher. 

The exact location is ~1500ft east of the fishing dock at the end of S Madison 
St, approximately here (43.2025474, -75.4708929). 

Good birding!

Just like to add that the American Bittern found yesterday was by a female
birder named Liz Slote, on a bird walk with Paul Sweet from the American
Natural History Museum & first reported @NYCountybirders here:
https://twitter.com/NYCountybirders/status/1646901179148820483?t=vut0F93ydOoy7MT6B7q4wg=19

[nysbirds-l] Re: [nysbirds-l] Re: Smith’s Longspur, Randall’s Island, New York County UPDATE

[Andrew Baksh]

For anyone interested in the status of the Smith’s Longspur. The news is not good. At 12:22 a report from birders on site, stated that the bird flew towards the Bronx Kill and is still being sought by those on the ground.Favorable places to check in the Bronx might be Ferry Point Park, Van Cortlandt Park and Pelham Bay. Croton Point Park in Westchester is also a good spot to keep an eye out.For those of you in the various bird alert groups, please cross post any positive reports.Thank You“Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves could free our mind.” ~ Bob Marley“Tenderness and Kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution” ~ Khalil Gibran"I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." ~ Frederick Douglass風　Swift as the wind林　Quiet as the forest火　Conquer like the fire山　Steady as the mountainSun Tzu  The Art of War(\__/)(= '.'=)                                            (") _ (")                                     Sent from somewhere in the field using my mobile device! Andrew Bakshwww.birdingdude.blogspot.comOn Apr 14, 2023, at 11:19 AM, Andrew Baksh  wrote:Cross posting.

not turn up one that included the gull in question. Please provide the link or

Yes, it has been a  really bad month.  His wife was Linda Vardy. They were
married in his yard in Glen Cove area and many of us in attendance wore our

Rick Kedenberg also lost his battle with cancer last week. Rick was active
with Queens County BC, and both North Shore (past president) and North Fork
Audubon chapters. Rick was kind and thoughtful, always ready to gently
educate new birders. He and his late wife, Linda Varney, met on a birding
trip and went on to lead many trips together before Linda lost her life to
cancer in 2016.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Possible Western Meadowlark - Kings county, NY

There's a great website by Kevin McGowan which shows the differences between 
Western and Eastern Meadowlarks. This is the only place where I see the tail 
patterns described by Ryan below.

Hi all - 

In the interest of transparency, there's a possible western meadowlark being 
regularly seen at Bush Terminal Piers Park in Kings County, NY. The bird was 
first photographed yesterday by Josh Malbin (though a meadowlark has been seen 
regularly at the park since December) and flagged by Doug Gochfeld this AM. 
Close-ups of the tail seem to show horizontal barring, rather than a dark 
vertical stripe with ribbing, and dark edging on all of the tail feathers. 

You can find Josh's photos herehttps://ebird.org/atlasny/checklist/S129688926
i have close-ups of the tail pattern here 
https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/540172271
Looking forward to seeing more photos and further confirmation from others. 
Good luck if you go.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Status of Pileated Woodpecker on Long Island.

[Susan Herbst]

Nothing else looks like damage from a Pileated. It will never be confused with

They are crow sized and can literally shred a tree.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Status of Pileated Woodpecker on Long Island.

[Hugh McGuinness]

I could try to explain, but a Google image search of "Pileated woodpecker
damage" will show you many photos of characteristic Pileated feeding holes.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Status of Pileated Woodpecker on Long Island.

Hi,

How can we differentiate the tree damage created by a Pileated from any
other Woodpecker? What are the special characteristics?

Thanks,

[nysbirds-l] Re: [nysbirds-l] Re: [nysbirds-l] Swainson’s Hawk Staten Island…

Bird still here. Very cooperative. Continues to return to same spot.  Seems to 
be interested in rats along shore.  Currently on ground.

Anthony Ciancimino reports that Maureen Seaberg found a juvenile Swainson’s

is reportedly on the ground along the waterfront currently. He provided a pin 
for the location that the bird is being seen.

Good luck if you try for it and a shoutout to all of you who share rare birds 
promptly and cross post.

RE: [nysbirds-l] White-winged Juncos

[Shaibal Mitra]

Hi Andrew and all,

Banding birds at the Fire Island Lighthouse, I encountered a few juncos with 
white wingbars. Invariably they were like Slate-colored hyemalis in other 
respects, whereas genuine aikeni White-winged Juncos are much larger and with 
significantly more white in the rectrices. In other words, it's a rare but 
regular variation among Slate-colored Juncos.

Hi all,

Does anyone know how common Slate-colored Juncos with white wing bars are?  
Over the years I've seen a few in NY that have them but otherwise look like 
Slate-coloreds.  Today I had another I observered for awhile at Ward Acres Park 
in New Rochelle that sure looked good for White-winged Juco, but I always have 
Slate-coloreds with wing bars in the back of my mind.  Any ideas?

[nysbirds-l] Re: [nysbirds-l] Re: Hammond’s Flycatcher @ Bashakill WMA

[Jay McGowan]

The flycatcher hadn't been seen since early this morning, but I was able to
refind it a bit ago at the back of an old field across the wetland from the
trail where it had previously been seen. Currently being seen in that same
spot: (41.5190758, -74.5338648).
