at Wave Hill? Hi Jennifer,
I seem to have touched a nerve.
On the contrary, rather than being elitist, NYSBIRDS-L is accessible to anyone.
No one needs to join a group to read posts on the NY State list. It's only
necessary to go to the ABA Web site to find birding listservs from all over the
country.
I'm glad that there is a Manhattan Rare Bird Groupme and a Birdfinders Whatsap.
There's also a NY County bird alert on Twitter @BirdCentralPark.
I do wonder what upstate birders who might want to travel to see the first NY
State record of a species must think. Must they also find out about and join
local groups to learn about such a bird? Will the bird have disappeared in the
meantime.
We should make information on bird such as the Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher as
accessible as possible. Ebird is a great source too, but there's often quite a
lag between someone's seeing a bird and entering a checklist. There's an easily
accessible archive of messages for both Ebird and the NYSBIRDS-L, which will
serve us all well once the bird in question has flown elsewhere.
My opinion,
Deb Allen

The Sulphur was posted to the Manhattan Rare Bird Groupme by 11am. I saw it
reposted to the BIrdfinders Whatsap at 11:15. There are many bird lists and
groups beyond this one.

Andrew,
You are absolutely right. I really don't know why people who saw the bird in
the afternoon did not post to NYSBIRDS-L.Probably they are not subscribed to
the list - that's my guess.
The flycatcher was not in Wave Hill in the afternoon but a bit north of there,
ranging from Sycamore and 252nd to 254th for the rest of the day. I didn't post
because I didn't see it and only heard it late in the afternoon. Several other
people heard it after 5pm also. Several birders saw it between 12:30 and 3pm,
and Bob DeCandido saw it at around 3:20pm close to 254th Street. I should think
there would be some checklists on ebird later, but there's nothing like timely
reporting.
Hope it sticks around and shows itself tomorrow,
Deb Allen

Just got back from Wave Hill in the bronx and the woman at the gate who was
closing up said it wasn't seen since this am. A shame it was never posted
here. Only saw it posted to the FB group and that was hours later. Shame
shame on these people who don't post here and don't post on the FB group until
hours later. The report never came up on my FB until about 40 minutes ago. A
shame what birding has become.
