[nysbirds-l] An enjoyable and rewarding day !

[robert adamo]

Today started at Arshamomack, Greenport, on a N.F.A.S. bird walk, which was
led by Tom Damiani. This is a neat place to meander in on a fine May day,
and we all owe this treasure to Jack Levin ! While not having the degree of
activity, as one finds in a "west end" park" at this time of year, we did
have some nice migrants. FOS birds for me were: House Wren; Wood Thrush;
Blue-winged Warbler; Yellow W.; Black & White W. and Baltimore Oriole. An
added bonus was meeting up and speaking with Guy Tudor at the end of the
walk !

Enroute home, I did a fast drive in/drive out, with a pair of "tom"
turkeys, and a FOS Field Sparrow being the only birds of note.

Enroute home 2, I decided to make a quick detour and visit the Calverton
Grasslands. Although most of the birds you expect to see here at this time
of year were not seen, the species that drew me "that last mile"...was here
! Yes, I got my FOS Grasshopper Sparrow ! No, it didn't sing, and no, I
didn't see or hear any more of it's specie, but I did go straight home !

Cheers,
Bob

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan, NYC 5/5

[Thomas Fiore]

'Cinco de Mayo', Tues., 5 May 2015  -  Central & other parks,  
Manhattan, N.Y. City

Apparently there were NO further sightings this day of a Kentucky  
Warbler from Monday (in Riverside Park); the area where it had been is  
a fairly thick, tangled & steep slope, and a bird such as that could  
easily skulk there, unseen, for days on end.

Excellent conditions for migrants Mon. night into Tuesday, so that a  
great many birds passed right by, yet so many were still moving that a  
good assortment also chose to stay a day (or more), with the diversity  
still excellent, if possibly just slightly less than seen Monday.  All  
the larger parks no doubt had some excellent sightings; a few that  
merit special mention include a Yellow-throated Warbler seen in  
Central Park's Ramble, from the Point a little before mid-day; and a  
Yellow-breasted Chat found at Inwood Hill Park in the a.m. (by Joe  
DiCostanzo), as well as several Summer Tanagers, at least 2  
individuals in Central (in differing plumages) & one first-year male  
at Riverside Park's n. end area, in early afternoon.

Yet again there were some "first of year" sightings including Yellow- 
billed Cuckoo, at Central Park, with one also in Riverside below W.  
110 St. later in the day.  Many species showed a slight uptick in  
numbers, but by mid-morning it also felt as though a lot had simply  
passed through & there may have been fewer of some of the commonest  
migrants typical of the first week in May. (We're getting some  
Blackpoll Warblers, but the peak period for them is presumably still  
many days away around here.)  Also yet to show up are some of the  
later-moving flycatchers & many very-common migrants are still not  
here in their full numbers, such as Red-eyed Vireo.  However, it has  
been impressive how rapidly so many birds have moved in and thru, with  
the change in our weather.

A very abbreviated list of some species found today is below, mainly  
the sightings are from 2 parks: Central, & Riverside, yet again at  
least some migration could be detected if sought in smaller parks and  
green-spaces.

Common Loon (a.m. fly-overs)
Snowy Egret (fly-overs on the east & west "corridor" esp. in the 100's  
blocks of Manhattan)
Wood Duck, Bufflehead, Red-breasted Merganser (latter lingering on  
reservoir)

Solitary Sandpiper (several moving in early a.m. & 1 or more stopping  
at the reservoir, a.m.)
Laughing Gull

Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Chimney Swift, Ruby-throated Hummingbird

Acadian Flycatcher (1 singing & calling in n. end of Central Park),  
Least Flycatcher
Great Crested Flycatcher, Eastern Kingbird

White-eyed, Blue-headed, Yellow-throated, Warbling (many), & Red-eyed  
Vireos
Red-breasted Nuthatch (several), Ruby-crowned Kinglet (reduced numbers  
now)
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Veery, Swainson's Thrush (few), Hermit & Wood  
Thrushes
Gray Catbird (not abundant yet), Brown Thrasher

Blue-winged Warbler
Nashville Warbler
Northern Parula
Yellow Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Cape May Warbler (several in Central Park, also in Riverside Park near  
W. 114 St.)
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Yellow-rumped [Myrtle] Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler
Yellow-throated Warbler (Central Park Ramble, mid-day discovery)
Pine Warbler (very few)
Prairie Warbler
Palm Warbler
Bay-breasted Warbler
Blackpoll Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
American Redstart
Worm-eating Warbler
Ovenbird
Northern Waterthrush
Louisiana Waterthrush (at least 1 lingering- late)
Common Yellowthroat
Hooded Warbler (several, Central Park)
Canada Warbler
Yellow-breasted Chat (as reported, Inwood Hill Park, a.m. - J.  
DiCostanzo)

Summer Tanager (several, varying plumages), Scarlet Tanager (multiple)
E. Towhee, Chipping, Swamp, White-throated, White-crowned Sparrow[s]
Dark-eyed Junco ( a few still, v. late), Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Indigo Bunting, Orchard & Baltimore Orioles, Purple Finch, Am. Goldfinch

good warmer-weather birding,

Tom Fiore
Manhattan

[nysbirds-l] Kings County Kentucky Warbler

[Sean Sime]

Rob Jett and I found a Kentucky Warbler in Prospect Park at roughly 1:15pm.
The bird was on the north side of Lookout Hill on the wood chip path that
parallels Center Drive.
The bird was seen briefly twice and was heard singing once. Other birders
arrived as we were leaving and will hopefully refine the bird.


Cheers,

Sean Sime

[nysbirds-l] glossy ibis in Napeague, East Hampton

[Bruce Horwith]

There are 3 glossy ibis in the wetland where the new and old Montauk Hwy

warblers, as well as ovenbird, catbird and towhee.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Protho at clove lakes park on Staten Island

[Shaibal Mitra]

I saw a Protho at Clove Lakes this morning, but considerably farther north than 
described below: along the stream north of the stone bridge at the north end of 
the marshy pond that is north of Martling Ave. This is the same stretch of 
stream frequented by a Summer Tanager several winters ago.

[nysbirds-l] An enjoyable and rewarding day !

[robert adamo]

Today started at Arshamomack, Greenport, on a N.F.A.S. bird walk, which was
led by Tom Damiani. This is a neat place to meander in on a fine May day,
and we all owe this treasure to Jack Levin ! While not having the degree of
activity, as one finds in a west end park at this time of year, we did
have some nice migrants. FOS birds for me were: House Wren; Wood Thrush;
Blue-winged Warbler; Yellow W.; Black  White W. and Baltimore Oriole. An
added bonus was meeting up and speaking with Guy Tudor at the end of the
walk !

Enroute home, I did a fast drive in/drive out, with a pair of tom
turkeys, and a FOS Field Sparrow being the only birds of note.

Enroute home 2, I decided to make a quick detour and visit the Calverton
Grasslands. Although most of the birds you expect to see here at this time
of year were not seen, the species that drew me that last mile...was here
! Yes, I got my FOS Grasshopper Sparrow ! No, it didn't sing, and no, I
didn't see or hear any more of it's specie, but I did go straight home !

Cheers,
Bob

[Bruce Horwith]

There are 3 glossy ibis in the wetland where the new and old Montauk Hwy
split on the approach to Montauk. Nearby woods have decent numbers of the
expected early migrants -- black and white, yellow-rumped and yellow
warblers, as well as ovenbird, catbird and towhee.

[nysbirds-l] Kings County Kentucky Warbler

[Sean Sime]

Rob Jett and I found a Kentucky Warbler in Prospect Park at roughly 1:15pm.
The bird was on the north side of Lookout Hill on the wood chip path that
parallels Center Drive.
The bird was seen briefly twice and was heard singing once. Other birders
arrived as we were leaving and will hopefully refine the bird.


Cheers,

Sean Sime
