[nysbirds-l] Mecox Curlew Sandpiper—YES

[John Gluth]

The CURLEW SANDPIPER at Mecox Bay was still present late this afternoon in the 
previously reported area of the western flats. It put on a nice show, actively 
feeding during most of my stay (16:45-17:45). I observed it extract a few worms 
from the sand during that span. Except for a brief retreat close to the mass of 
rusty metal wire described in earlier posts, the bird spent most of its time a 
bit farther east on the main flat. It was actually MIA during the first 10 
minutes of my visit, and despite a careful scope search of the flat's full 
extent, it seemed as if I'd missed it. Then it magically appeared a mere 25 
yards away. Whew. The only other notable shorebird seen was a White-rumped 
Sandpiper. Link to photos below.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Red-necked Phalarope - Hudson River Park, West Village, Manhattan - No

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
Today I spent my lunch hour looking for the RNPH. Same result as Doug had
in the morning. No phalarope.

Yesterday I shot a short video using my phone and binoculars. The result is
not a video of good quality, but a record of this stranger of a bird in an
urban environment. Sound track includes: traffic noise from the West Side
Highway, joggers and pedestrians enjoying the green way paths, children
playing, and yes - the sound from a game of tennis, etc. Surreal!

good city birding,

Doug Futuyma asked me to post the following-

"I searched for it without success between Pier 25 and Pier 45 this
morning, around 7 a.m."

[nysbirds-l] Yellow-throated Vireo, etc, Rocky Pt

[Joel Horman]

A decent migratory movement this morning in Rocky Pt Preserve included a 
vocalizing Yellow-throated Vireo (unusual here), both Cuckoos, 
White-breasted and Red-breasted Nuthatches, and a small assortment of 
common warblers.


Yesterday, an early Fox Sparrow briefly visited our feeders.

[nysbirds-l] Jlm Ash is back in town...oh yeah !

[robert adamo]

With thanks to Jim for finding the Curlew Sandpiper yesterday !

With thanks to Michael McBrien for posting the bird for Diana Teta &
I earlier this AM !

The plumage is exactly as Derek Rogers described. The one point I would
make concerns the bill - it seemed to be less fully de-curved (from head to
tip) than the other 6 I have seen previously - with the curve seeming to
start fairly close to the tip. In addition, all of these sightings were
from JBWR, the earliest being on 10/3/78, at the East Pond. This bird was
in basic plumage, seen both standing and in flight, and noted to have
longer legs than a Dunlin, with more length showing from above knee to body.

Cheers,
Bob

[nysbirds-l] Mecox Curlew Sandpiper - yes

[Eileen Schwinn]

Currently being seen near the rusty washed up metal fencing in the furthest 
western portion of the sand flat.  The bird is blotchy red and very visible 
among the other shore birds here. The Curlew is actively feeding.

Law enforcement of parking restrictions is evident, so be careful.

The bird was still there when we left- 11:40AM

[nysbirds-l] Inwood Hill Park Mourning Warbler!

[Nadir Souirgi]

A brief walk into Inwood Hill Park in upper Manhattan yielded what feels like a 
surprisingly early 1st winter Mourning Warbler. This bird has an incomplete 
gray hood with a tangy yellow throat. The yellow continues uninterrupted, 
through the breast, belly, and under tail coverts which are quite long. The 
lower mandible is pale flesh and it has a thin whitish eye ring that may be 
only slightly broken. Conveniently, the bird seems to favor the brushy tangle 
of Jewelweed and saplings at the main ground level entrance into the woods. 
This is the triangular patch directly behind the stone marker commemorating the 
site of the purported purchase of the island by the Dutch that can be located 
in the northwest corner of the soccer field. This patch is also paved on all 
sides. Check all of the adjoining tangled areas as I have observed it roaming a 
bit. Listen also for its low "Chiwck" alarm call. Other migrants in the area 
included, Black-and-white Warbler, Rose-breasted Grosbeak,and Ruby-throated 
Hummingbird. 

Best of luck and Good birding,

Nadir Souirgi

[nysbirds-l] Curlew Sandpiper Mecox Bay Suffolk Co. YES

[pjlindsay]

Diana Teta just called to report that she and Bob Adamo are seeing the 
Curlew Sandpiper found yesterday at Mecox. From what I understand it is 
on the west side and one must walk all the way around to the cove.
