[nysbirds-l] Valley Stream SP - Hooded Warbler, Louisiana Waterthrush - 4/20 (Nassau Co.)

2016-04-29 Thread Brendan Fogarty

Hey everyone,
Around 3:45 there was a Hooded Warbler near the parking lot, seen to the south 
from the narrow bridge over the western creek. From the lot, briefly head south 
to the colorful jungle gym and walk a few yards west. A Louisiana Waterthrush 
was also here (but moving around) earlier in the day via Bobby Kurz and Ed 
Becher. Also from this spot, a Blue-headed Vireo, singing, and a Swamp Sparrow. 
Still tons of Yellow-rumped and Palm Warblers.

[nysbirds-l] Signs of Spring

2016-04-29 Thread Timothy Healy

I stopped by Jones Beach for about an hour early this afternoon.
Boat-tailed Grackles were seen displaying on near the entrance gates.
Spotted several Brown Thrashers in the median, one of which was gathering
twigs. Some American crows were also seen carrying nest material. All loons
encountered were in full breeding plumage. Yellow-rumped Warblers are
looking sharp and singing more or less constantly. The Monk Parakeets next
door to Norman J. Levy are continuously ferrying branches up to their nests
on the stadium lights. Migrant numbers and diversity are still low for now.
I heard a perfect Wood Thrush song in Central Park yesterday, which gave me
pause until the mockingbird threw in a few of its own phrases. Another
mocker at Jones was singing a some notes reminiscent of Scarlet Tanager.
Perhaps they know it's almost time for the neotropical breeders to return.

Cheers!
-Tim H

[nysbirds-l] Upland Sandpiper

2016-04-29 Thread Keith Cashman

Still being seen as of 3:05 PM. 

One disturbing observation. A photographer stopped his dark blue SUV in the 
left lane of westbound Ocean Parkway !!!  Not only was this totally unnecessary 
to get a great picture of the bird but was tremendously dangerous to himself 
and unsuspecting motorists on the Parkway. 

The NY State Police, Park Police, and the Suffolk County Police have been great 
letting people stop on the right shoulders and enjoy watching the bird. If this 
behavior continues it will generate calls and that will generate a police 
response. That police response will be chasing people from the area and at 
worst writing Parking tickets that most people will not appreciate.  

Lets all respect not only the bird but also the vehicle and traffic laws so 
that ALL people can have an opportunity to enjoy this bird, and driving along a 
public roadway.

Monday 4/10 at 5:15 PMA Lark Sparrow is foraging on the ground with sparrows 
and juncos in the NE portion of Fort Green Park. It is behind the visitors 
center where a hay is scattered and is enclosed by a storm fence.

I did not see the yellow throated warbler, but other birders found this bird

Warblers. The very word causes birders to begin salivating each spring as their 
thoughts turn to the birds that can best be described as avian eye candy. This 
very diverse group of active little birds truly are gems of the bird world. 
Plumages include  beautiful color combinations of blue, grey, green, orange, 
brown, chestnut, yellow and black. Their songs are just as diverse, ranging 
from melodic songs to trills to insect-y sounding buzzes. These beautiful birds 
occur in a vast array of habitats, from shrublands to wet, bottomland forests. 
Join us tonight as Lloyd discusses these beautiful songsters, and feast your 
eyes on his astonishingly beautiful photographs!  
Lloyd will be bring copies of the new ten page guide, Warblers of North 
America, to sell. The price for these handy and beautiful guides is just $8!  
Please bring exact change if you plan purchasing. 
Location: Cold Spring Harbor Library and Environmental Center
Please join us for what is sure to be a gorgeously presented program!

To add to Corey's note, and for those not doing bander's [ringer's]  
codes, the Swainson's Warbler present at the sw edges of Strawberry  
Fields in Central Park  (Manhattan, N.Y. City) on THURSDAY, had not  
been seen nor heard as of about 7:20 a.m. Friday, despite a lot of  
folks in that area, & beyond.

There are still plenty of other migrants in the park so it is  
plausible the rare warbler is still present somewhere - but unless  
singing, it can be exceedingly difficult to even know about that  
species precise whereabouts (& that is true even on prime breeding  
areas in the southern U.S.)

good luck & hope to hear of some other sightings in the park as well  
as (hopefully) the desired rare bird.

There are still plenty of other migrants in the park so it is  
plausible the rare warbler is still present somewhere - but unless  
singing, it can be exceedingly difficult to even know about that  
species precise whereabouts (& that is true even on prime breeding  
areas in the southern U.S.)

good luck & hope to hear of some other sightings in the park as well  
as (hopefully) the desired rare bird.

[nysbirds-l] Kings County Grasshopper Sparrow and caution

2016-04-29 Thread Sean Sime

The Grasshopper Sparrow found by Alex Wilson at the 6 Diamonds Ballfields
in southern Brooklyn an subsequently reported by Shane Blodgett and others
was seen briefly mid day along the southernmost fence line paralleling
Coney Island Creek loosely associating with Savannah and Chipping Sparrows.
I also encountered a group of 6 or 7 men behind the ballfields along the
creek who seemed different from the occasional homeless person I run into
back there. Without assuming much I will say that the mix of people and
behavior was somewhat intimidating and please take this into account if you
are planning on visiting this site. Use judgement and trust your instincts.


Good (and safe) birding,

[nysbirds-l] Bohemian Waxwings/N. Saw-whet Owl/Red Crossbills/Rusty Blackbirds/Black-backed Woodpeckers & more

2016-04-29 Thread Joan Collins

Huge numbers of Pine Siskins continue at our feeders - they are consuming
over 10 pounds of Thistle seed a day.  I haven't figured out how much weight
they are consuming of the sunflower heart seeds, but it is less than 10
pounds per day.  Others still feeding birds in Long Lake are reporting the
same experience - they can't keep their feeders filled.  A pair of Raccoons
were a problem for several nights, so we brought the feeders in at night and
they finally disappeared.  One night, I was photographing the Raccoons on
our front porch, and one tried to get around me to enter the house - it
could obviously smell the bird seed just inside the door!

 

The mouse population appears to be increasing and Barred Owls are heard
outside our home nearly every night.  The excellent cone crop on most
coniferous tree species led to an exciting winter for irruptives, but the
Red Squirrels also benefited and it will be a difficult nesting year for
many birds as a result (often, more than half of the Black-backed Woodpecker
nests are predated in such years).

 

I've been noting a very quiet, almost inaudible, vocalization that Gray Jays
give near their nest site.  I really need good recording equipment!

 

Some recent observations (first of the season: *):

 

April 28, 2016 Long Lake (Hamilton Co.)

 

Barred Owl - outside our home

Black-backed Woodpecker - a pair in the same tree at the Round Lake
Trailhead.  I watched them for a long time until a Broad-winged Hawk's
sudden appearance overhead led them to fly off.

Gray Jay - I bushwhacked to an area where Gray Jays usually find me and 2
Gray Jays came over for food, but also, seemingly, to just hang out.  I had
traveled the night before to give a presentation, and had little sleep after
arriving home late, so I laid down in the grass and slept on and off for 1.5
hours.  It was sunny and in the 50s - a perfect day.  The Grays Jays stayed
with me quietly vocalizing and were in the trees nearby every time I woke up
- wonderful companions.  It was the most peaceful time I've had in a long
time.  At one point, I was awakened by what sounded like people, but it was
a Common Raven viciously attacking a Broad-winged Hawk (the ravens have
young in nests right now).  The last time I heard that vocalization, a raven
was attacking a Golden Eagle outside our home over a decade ago.  Also, two
adult Bald Eagles soared around overhead.  Blue-headed Vireos, Winter Wrens,
and Yellow-rumped Warblers sang nearby.

*Barn Swallow - over Little Tupper Lake

 

April 27, 2016 Long Lake

 

Gray Jay - 5 (1 along Rt. 30, 2 at the Round Lake Trailhead, and 2 at
Sabattis Bog)

*Brown Thrasher - Little Tupper Lake outlet/Round Lake inlet

Palm Warbler - many at Sabattis Bog

*Rusty Blackbird - at least 3 at the Little Tupper Lake inlet (more were
unseen in the muddy marsh below them)

Red Crossbill - birds heard calling near the Little Tupper Lake outlet/Round
Lake inlet

 

April 26, 2016 Long Lake

 

Black-backed Woodpecker - 1 at Sabattis Bog

Gray Jay - 4 (1 Rt 30, 2 at the Round Lake Trailhead, and 1 at Sabattis Bog)

Palm Warbler - many singing in what appeared to be winter conditions with 3
inches of snow on the ground!

 

On a half-day tour with 2 birders from White Plains & Garnet Hill, NY, on
April 25, 2016 we visited Newcomb and Minerva (both in Essex Co.) with their
goal of finding a Black-backed Woodpecker.  We had a great morning and found
6!  Here are some of the 32 species found:

 

Black-backed Woodpecker - 6 (including 2 pairs)

Gray Jay - 1

Boreal Chickadee - at least 3

Brown Creeper

Winter Wren

Golden-crowned Kinglet

Ruby-crowned Kinglet

Eastern Bluebird - Newcomb

Hermit Thrush

Yellow-rumped Warbler

*Black-throated Green Warbler - 2 singing in Newcomb (This is one day
earlier than the early date listed in "Birds of Essex County, New York")

 

I continued to go birding the rest of day since it was beautiful out.
Additional sightings in Long Lake:

 

Ruffed Grouse - 5 along Sabattis Circle Road

Common Loon

Osprey - carrying a stick

Broad-winged Hawk - 3 (including a pair)

Barred Owl - 2

Gray Jay - 6

Boreal Chickadee - another flock found in Minerva later in the afternoon

Palm Warbler

Pine Warbler

Yellow-rumped Warbler

 

April 22, 2016 Long Lake

 

Osprey - mating several times in their nest on Minnow Pond (a nest they took
over from Great Blue Herons)

Black-backed Woodpecker - 2 (1 along Route 30 and 1 at Sabattis Bog)

Gray Jay - 5

Bohemian Waxwing - 5 at the Little Tupper Lake inlet!

*Swamp Sparrow

 

April 21, 2016 Newcomb

 

*Blue-headed Vireo

 

April 20, 2016 Long Lake and Tupper Lake (Franklin Co.)

 

Bald Eagle - adult eating a fish along the Raquette River in Tupper Lake

*Wilson's Snipe - marshes in Tupper Lake

Gray Jay - 7

*Chipping Sparrow - Tupper Lake

*White-throated Sparrow - Long Lake

Palm Warbler - several birds feeding in the road by Sabattis Bog

 

April 18, 2016 Owling in Long Lake (cold, calm, and clear)

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler NOT seen as of 7:20 a.m., C.P. NYC 4/29

2016-04-29 Thread Thomas Fiore


Friday, 29 April, 2016 -

To add to Corey's note, and for those not doing bander's [ringer's]  
codes, the Swainson's Warbler present at the sw edges of Strawberry  
Fields in Central Park  (Manhattan, N.Y. City) on THURSDAY, had not  
been seen nor heard as of about 7:20 a.m. Friday, despite a lot of  
folks in that area, & beyond.


There are still plenty of other migrants in the park so it is  
plausible the rare warbler is still present somewhere - but unless  
singing, it can be exceedingly difficult to even know about that  
species precise whereabouts (& that is true even on prime breeding  
areas in the southern U.S.)


good luck & hope to hear of some other sightings in the park as well  
as (hopefully) the desired rare bird.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park: Pulitzer Fountain Common Grackle Roost

2016-04-29 Thread Ben Cacace

Last night I swung by one of Central Park's Common Grackle roost sites
outside of the park. The location is off the southeast corner of the park
in front of the Plaza Hotel and Bergdorf Goodman's in the Linden Trees
surrounding Pulitzer Fountain. It was dark at 8:30p and grackles were
visible naked eye. In a small section covered by a binocular field there
were around 10 birds sitting close to each other.

There are links to the discovery post of this location back in the Fall of
2005 and a chronological list of Marie Winn's follow-up observations during
the Fall/Winter of 2005/2006.

http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Grand+Army+Plaza%2C+Pulitzer+Fountain+%28grackle+roost%29

My only observation was on 30-Sep-2005 and I started counting after the
birds were already streaming into the roost. This was around 20 minutes
before sunset.

A possible simultaneous dual count from Belvedere Castle where I've seen
them heading south at the end of the day and at the roost should be
interesting.

I'm not sure what the numbers are like in the Spring but that Fall
observation back in 2005 was impressive.
