[nysbirds-l] Ocean beaches

[syschiff]

Jones Beach strip to Robert Moses SP and Captree Island.

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) started at the Coast Guard Station and then to 
West End #2. Our prime interest were wet land birds. But we managed a Peregrine 
and a Merlin plus Field, Chipping, Song, Swamp and White-throated Sparrows. 
Thrasher and Towhee were singing. The Common Loon was in full breeding plumage 
and 3 Forster's terns were flying about on the far side of the inlet.

We headed east to Robert Moses SP , Captree SP ( little success at both) and 
then Captree Island. Here there were both Green-winged and Blue-winged Teal, 
both Egrets and Greater Yellowlegs 

At Cedar Beach Marina, we found another Forster's Tern on the pilings in front 
of the parking lot, few more Greater Yellowlegs.a pair of Oystercatcher.and our 
first Willet of the season.

There were nests and  Ospreys at every site. A pretty remarkable comeback for 
this raptor.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 4/22

[Thomas Fiore]

Happy Pesach and a lovely holiday to all who celebrate or observe of  
these days.


I received a virtual outpouring of photos & comments on waterthrush  
occurrences this week in the park from multiple birders, after a  
recent post to this list. It seems that Northern Waterthrush were in  
the park at least as of Tues., & perhaps even a bit before then.  Very  
soon, that will be the "default" waterthrush in the city parks, with  
Louisiana less-likely as May comes on, but the past week featured more  
Louisiana, less Northern, & only on 4/21 did the Northern just begin  
to show it's soon-to-be numerical-dominance in the waterthrush  
migrations.  Thanks to the many who sent messages, a lot of them with  
insightful notes, as well as some nice photos.

I have heard about possible threatening behavior from a certain  
individual in Central Park recently. I would offer the common-sense  
suggestion that should anyone make verbal and obviously any physical  
threats, or remarks that may be taken as direct & personal threats,  
that is a matter for the N.Y.P.D. (the police), who should be notified  
immediately and the individual[s] making such threats reported.  There  
is no excuse or reason for anyone to have this happen to them in any  
public space in this city, or anywhere at all.  The people of this  
city are in fact very tolerant and kind, and/but there are some limits  
to that tolerance, and if someone is behaving so badly that there may  
be a potential crime that is being committed, that is a matter for  
police (not park rangers, not parks workers, not CP Conservancy  
employees or managers - only the NYC Police) - so "'nuff said", as one  
would think!  With apologies, this has affected some of our park's  
birding community, it would not be raised here otherwise.

Thurs. 21st - Friday 22 April, 2016
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

Friday, 22 April 2016 -
By FAR, the strongest day (last night, meaning Thurs. night into  
Friday) of migrant land-bird movement (with a few waders a.k.a.  
shorebirds also in & thru the park) for this year so far...

with species diversity the main feature, but some nice numbers on a  
limited number of the more-common migrants, and in particular, a  
NOTABLY early movement of more than just a few Indigo Buntings, way,  
way way ahead of their typical PEAK arrival dates, which are not in  
April at all, based on all records for well over a century.

This was an unusual occurrence, and could well bode for a variety of  
other neotropical-wintering longer-distance migrants to be in the  
region, perhaps to turn up on the fine weather weekend, with those  
able to be out & looking.  At least 7, poss. 8 or even more, Indigo  
Buntings were found in Central Park alone this morning, & also of  
interest is that many, maybe almost all, were in blotchy less-than- 
peak plumage, also suggestive of an early-arrival event of some  
significance... or, it could end up primarily a single-species early- 
push in those sorts of numbers...

However with the other species that also came in from a week to 2  
weeks earlier than typical arrival dates (NOTE that a typical arrival  
date is when the mass of that species is first noted, NOT the earliest- 
ever & various scattered early or very-early dates that are also in  
the records - there is a vast difference in these, and some newer  
birders do not see the hugely significant differences in these sorts  
of occurrences.  The difference of even a week, and especially of two  
weeks, or more, in timings of certain migrants at this season (the  
spring arrival season) is very significant, and is an indicator for  
NON-typical migratory events.  Sorry, but this is a point that cannot  
be made too often at this time of year, and in context. It is not, "la- 
de-da, Indigos are early this year, whoo-hoo, I like Indigos"...  
although that reaction is perfectly great, it's just not all there is  
to how bird movement works... it's a bit (a lot) more complex, and  
hugely interesting & wondrous-strange too, at times.  It will be  
interesting to hear if some reports filter in from some of the barrier- 
beach areas as well as other migration hot-spots, & also from "odd- 
spots" all over.

Highlights from this Friday (today) include at least 14 species of  
warblers,  a few first-of-year, and some just in the last several days  
or so. Also in as of today were both species of expected Orioles, at  
least the more-expected species of tanager (Scarlet, male seen singing  
in the n. end - & wondering of a rumor on a "poss." Summer, but when- 
where-who-how-etc.?), as well as the first-reported-today Yellow- 
billed Cuckoo, E. Kingbird, Great Crested Flycatcher, Wood Thrush, &  
some other migrants either first or just-barely arriving otherwise, &  
now in some numbers... an uncommon-but-regular-as-flyby species,  
Greater Yellowlegs at least doubled the wader spp.

[nysbirds-l] Early Blackburnian Warbler Broome Co.

[David Nicosia]

Had 1 BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER sing a couple times on King Street Town of
Barker in Broome Co this morning.
This is the earliest I have had this specie in spring. This is also a place
where several pairs nest so it is probably
a nester returning. In addition, we had 1 BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER
calling with its sharp chip note
and then we saw the bird. This specie also nests on King Street but was not
singing for some reason. An early
nester returning or a migrant? Additionally we had 2 NASHVILLE WARBLERS
here (this is a little early)
and of course several YELLOW-RUMPED and PINE WARBLERS which are typical now
in this area.

[nysbirds-l] Early Blackburnian Warbler Broome Co.

[David Nicosia]

Had 1 BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER sing a couple times on King Street Town of
Barker in Broome Co this morning.
This is the earliest I have had this specie in spring. This is also a place
where several pairs nest so it is probably
a nester returning. In addition, we had 1 BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER
calling with its sharp chip note
and then we saw the bird. This specie also nests on King Street but was not
singing for some reason. An early
nester returning or a migrant? Additionally we had 2 NASHVILLE WARBLERS
here (this is a little early)
and of course several YELLOW-RUMPED and PINE WARBLERS which are typical now
in this area.

I just observed a species of teen flying south along the swan River toward the

[nysbirds-l] Birding "Party" at H.L.S.P. (STOP) Attended by 23, with an abrupt extension to V.S.S.P. (STOP) Good time had by all !

[robert adamo]

After speaking with Ed Brecher at Jones Beach recently, I knew where I
would be  by 0800, come Thursday morning - and I wasn't disappointed !  The
scene resembled  the start of a field trip at the Annual Meeting of the New
York State Ornithology Association, with the horde assembling, greeting
friends and strangers alike, "smooshing" and exchanging recent birding
experiences, before starting to move out ! The birding was "fair", but the
human contact was fabulous !  A pair of Wood Ducks, a few Blue-gray
Gnatcatchers, a Blue-headed Vireo, a couple of Chimney Swifts, a
Great-horned Owl, 3 young Raccoon's in a tree hole (2 in the back, and 1
with it's head and paws sticking out of the hole) were just some of the
treats !  A couple of the conversations that come to mind was a) hearing of
Joe Guinta's recent trip to Texas (he returned just last night, while his
luggage returned late this morning) and b)  as I was photographing a pair
of Fish Crows sitting close together on a branch high up in a tree, I
turned to Rick Kopitsch and said "I am calling this shot a couple of
courting crows". He, in turn, improved on that title by softly stating "how
about making it a couple of courting corvids" ! While our moving mass was
on it's last leg, Ed Brecher got a call stating yesterday's Hooded Warbler
was just re-found and was currently vocalizing. With that, the walking pace
increased, and the exodus was under way.

Never having been to Valley Stream State Park, I proceeded to get lost
en-route, which cost me a satisfying look at the male Hooded Warbler, only
getting an abbreviated look, till much later in the AM (1130-1200) when I
got a "full frontal" . During this time we also had a gorgeous male
Baltimore Oriole.

Cheers,
Bob

[nysbirds-l] Birding "Party" at H.L.S.P. (STOP) Attended by 23, with an abrupt extension to V.S.S.P. (STOP) Good time had by all !

[robert adamo]

After speaking with Ed Brecher at Jones Beach recently, I knew where I
would be  by 0800, come Thursday morning - and I wasn't disappointed !  The
scene resembled  the start of a field trip at the Annual Meeting of the New
York State Ornithology Association, with the horde assembling, greeting
friends and strangers alike, "smooshing" and exchanging recent birding
experiences, before starting to move out ! The birding was "fair", but the
human contact was fabulous !  A pair of Wood Ducks, a few Blue-gray
Gnatcatchers, a Blue-headed Vireo, a couple of Chimney Swifts, a
Great-horned Owl, 3 young Raccoon's in a tree hole (2 in the back, and 1
with it's head and paws sticking out of the hole) were just some of the
treats !  A couple of the conversations that come to mind was a) hearing of
Joe Guinta's recent trip to Texas (he returned just last night, while his
luggage returned late this morning) and b)  as I was photographing a pair
of Fish Crows sitting close together on a branch high up in a tree, I
turned to Rick Kopitsch and said "I am calling this shot a couple of
courting crows". He, in turn, improved on that title by softly stating "how
about making it a couple of courting corvids" ! While our moving mass was
on it's last leg, Ed Brecher got a call stating yesterday's Hooded Warbler
was just re-found and was currently vocalizing. With that, the walking pace
increased, and the exodus was under way.

Never having been to Valley Stream State Park, I proceeded to get lost
en-route, which cost me a satisfying look at the male Hooded Warbler, only
getting an abbreviated look, till much later in the AM (1130-1200) when I
got a "full frontal" . During this time we also had a gorgeous male
Baltimore Oriole.

Cheers,
Bob
