[nysbirds-l] Sunken Meadow SP- fall migrants, East Northport C Nighthawks, etc
I spent the entire morning and early afternoon birding in different parts of Sunken Meadow State Park in Suffolk County today. I started at 8:00am on the Inner Marsh trail at the western end of the park finding lots of warblers and other fall migrants, then headed down the park road which terminates at the Golf Course. After sifting through the plethora of migrants at that end of the park, I drove to the eastern end of Field 1 and proceeded to walk along the edge of the canal all the way to the dunes. By the time I finished it was 2:00pm and I had 19 species of warbler the best being 1 Tennessee, 1 Cape May, and 2 Bay-breasteds. Another bird of note was a bright Philadelphia Vireo flitting high in the treetops at the edge of the Creek. I did cross paths with a foraging Red Fox in the early a.m. as well as some angry White-tailed Deer. A Doe stomped her forefeet at me a few times because I didn't realize her two fawns were frequenting the area. Below are the highlights of what I found today. Wood Ducks- 5 Osprey- 1 Sharp-shinned Hawk- 1 Red-tailed Hawk- 4 Peregrine Falcon- 1 flying West above the trees, viewed by Field 3 Least Flycatcher- 1 Empid. sp- 3, 1 with a lot of yellow on breast but very brief encounter Great-crested Flycatcher- 1 Eastern Kingbird- 7 heading west White-eyed Vireo- 4 Philadelphia Vireo- 1 in the top of tree bordering SM Creek Red-eyed Vireo- 8 Red-breasted Nuthatch- 1 Veery- 4 Tennessee warbler- 1 Nashville warbler- 2 Northern Parula- several Yellow warbler- 1 Chestnut-sided warbler- 1 Magnolia warbler- several Cape May warbler- 1 first fall male Black-throated Blue warbler- several Yellow-rumped warbler- 1 feasting on myrtle berries along canal Black-throated Green warbler- 2 Blackburnian warbler- 1 female Palm warbler- 6, 5 being the "Western" subspecies Bay-breasted warbler- 2, 1 bird still had decent amount of buff on flanks Blackpoll warbler- 5 Black-and-white warbler- several American Redstart- several Ovenbird- 2 Northern Waterthrush- 2 Canada warbler- 2 Scarlet Tanager- 1 nonbreeding male still singing Rose-breasted Grosbeak- 2 Baltimore Oriole- 1 A couple more sightings, which are late I might add, include: An Eastern Screech-Owl which has been calling in my backyard the past three weeks in East Northport. The big sod field on Osborn Rd and Sound Ave yesterday held 1 Buff-breasted Sandpiper, 1American Golden-Plover, 16 Black-bellied Plovers, 1 Least Sandpiper, and 32 Killdeer. A Turkey Vulture was also flying above the fields. Another Turkey Vulture flew over CW Post campus yesterday at around 2:00pm. And last but not least, 7 Common Nighthawks were gliding above the soccer fields in East Northport just west of Townline Road yesterday at 5:45pm.

[nysbirds-l] Philadelphia Vireo at Hoyt Farm Park (Commack, Suffolk Co.)
A brief early afternoon (1:10-2:00) visit to Hoyt Farm Park turned up a PHILADELPHIA VIREO at the permanent pond behind the museum (40.822022, -73.269700). Also seen bathing in or feeding around the pond were a Red-eyed Vireo, a Veery, several Catbirds, a B Warbler, a Redstart, a "Baypoll" warbler (too brief a look to fully ID), a hatch-year Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and 2 Baltimore Orioles. There was quite a bit of activity in the tamaracks, hardwoods and vines surrounding the water,but many of the birds were moving too quickly and/or too obscured by vegetation to ID. I can only imagine what it must have been like first thing in the morning! Elsewhere in the park it was quiet as far as migrants go, with the exception of 4-5 Common Yellowthroats and a couple Catbirds. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] Marshlands Conservancy (Westchester) Golden-winged Warbler
This morning I found a male Golden-winged Warbler at the Marshlands Conservancy in Rye. The bird was at the Northwest corner of the Jay Estate parking lot briefly at 8:45, but I could not relocate after that. Apparently, this is the first fall record for Marshlands. There were 10 other wood-warblers, highlighted by a Tennessee and including Parula, Canada, and Chestnut-sided. Other migrants were mulitple Red-eyed Vireos, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, and Veerys, as well as a flyover Kestrel.

[nysbirds-l] LI Birds Yesterday and Today
Highlights from a visit to Cupsogue with Dominic Sherony yesterday (8 Sep) included two adult Caspian Terns on the main flats, a Buff-breasted Sandpiper on the bar north of the camping area, 9 Marbled Godwits on the bar north of the camping area (plus one more on the main flats), Pectoral Sandpipers at both places, and an adult Least Bittern in the salt marsh. The last time I saw a Least Bittern in a salt marsh in the Northeast was on 2 Jun 1989, in East Matunuck, RI--my lifebird! The flight this morning (9 Sep) at Robert Moses SP featured only modest volume but good diversity and unusual complexity. Morning flights at this location are usually unidirectional, from east to west, but under today's brisk northwest winds there were at least two distinct trends: diurnal migrants heading west as usual, but nocturnal migrants bearing northeast off the ocean, then trending eastward with the wind. Highlights 6:25-8:25 included Blue Grosbeak, Tennessee Warbler (scarce on the beach), and two Cliff Swallows among 82 Cedar Waxwings, 111 Bobolinks, and my first Myrtle Warblers of the season, among many other birds. During this time, Patricia also found a Yellow-bellied flycatcher at parking field 2 but no sign of the Lark Sparrow. Kestrels, Merlins, and Ospreys were moving in good numbers today, and three more Cliff Swallows and an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull passed the hawkwatch when I visited again around mid-day.
