Did anyone happen to notice if the Bicknell's at Prospect Park had a small
growth by the bottom of one of its eye?  Thanks.

[nysbirds-l] News on the Central Park "Western" Flycatcher (NO CURRENT SIGHTINGS)

2016-05-19 Thread Nathan Goldberg

Hi all,

Well, the moment many New York birder's have been waiting for is finally
here!

Nick Mason and I have been working this whole semester at Cornell
University (with a lot of troubleshooting) to try and extract DNA from the
fecal sample I collected back around Thanksgiving of last year from the
Central Park "Western" Flycatcher. It took us a long time, but we
eventually got usable DNA! Once we got DNA, we needed to sequence part of
the ND2 gene to differentiate Pacific-slope and Cordilleran Flycatchers.
Today, we got the sequence results in for the NYC bird, and we can say with
near-certainty the bird is NOT a Cordilleran Flycatcher!

In the Cordilleran Flycatcher ND2 (mitochondrial) gene, there are 5-6
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) that have been used to tell the two
species apart in past papers. These SNPs should be present if the bird is a
Cordilleran Flycatcher, and not present if it is a Pacific-slope. We only
really need 3+ SNPs to tell this, which is why we eventually focused our
efforts on examining the first section (of 4) of the gene (as it contains 3
SNPs). In the image linked to here (
https://www.flickr.com/photos/nrg_energy/27026501372/in/dateposted-public/),
you can see these SNPs are NOT present, indicating the bird is either a
Pacific-slope or Pacific-slope X Cordilleran Flycatcher hybrid.

We never will really know with certainty if the bird is a hybrid, but from
the Rush et. al paper (2009), it appears these hybrids are quite uncommon,
so I'd call this a Pacific-slope Flycatcher with near-confidence. We never
will know 100% if its a hybrid or not as mitochondrial genes are only
passed on through the mother, so the father's lineage has to be inferred.

Regardless, thank you all for your patience, we finally have an answer!
Combining this result with the beautiful recorded call notes embedded in
Jay McGowan's checklist (
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S25958695), I think the case is
quite strong for this to be accepted as a Pacific-slope Flycatcher!

Good Birding,

[nysbirds-l] Kentucky Warblers in Prospect Park

2016-05-19 Thread Rob Jett

Early this morning a Kentucky Warbler was found near the north end of Prospect 
Park at a wooded stretch just to the north of the Picnic House. At around noon 
a 2nd one was spotted by Steve Nanz and his group on Lookout Hill along the 
dirt path across from the 16th St. entrance. It was feeding around a termite 
hatch out.

Good birding,

[nysbirds-l] Kentucky, Cerulean + 22+ add'l. warb. spp. Central Pk. NYC 5/19

2016-05-19 Thread Thomas Fiore


Thursday, 19 May, 2016
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City -

Thus far, and it's still early in the day, 24 or more Warbler species  
have been recorded in Central Park, with a possibility a few more may  
also turn up.  Among much-hoped-for species, the Kentucky Warbler seen  
in the east-central & northeast portions of the Ramble and of course  
being sought on an on-going basis by many; a Cerulean Warbler is also  
in the Ramble, & there are migrants in just about all of the entire  
park, with a lot of further reports yet to come. Many species present  
the last few days are, or may be continuing. A singing male Hooded  
Warbler was additionally in the Ramble, moving about & seen at one  
point at the W. part of the Tupelo meadow area.  Good activity also in  
the area near the reservoir, from south side bridle path on up to the  
north bridle path.  Migrants are of course also numerous in the  
northern parts of the park, today.


good luck! (please observe quietly),

[nysbirds-l] Mourning Warbler - Southard's Pond Park (Suffolk Co.)

2016-05-19 Thread John Gluth

Though I had no luck with the Olive-sided Flycatcher seen the past two days, 
there was a Mourning Warbler singing as a nice consolation prize. It sang 
several times from a multiflora rose thicket near the first  footbridge on the 
eastern trail, south of the pond. It went silent and/or slipped away without 
offering so much as a glimpse. Great to hear though.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 5/18

2016-05-19 Thread Thomas Fiore

Wednesday, 18 May, 2016
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

A female SUMMER Tanager was enjoyed by observers in the heart of the  
Ramble, and there were also multiple Scarlet Tanagers, a preponderance  
of females but also some males around. This most recent of the park's  
Summer Tanagers was found by R. Pasquier, a long-time park birder &  
doctor of ornithology.

Vireos of at least 5 species were still being found with a  
Philadelphia Vireo in the n. end being seen well by at least a few  
observers, & slightly late Blue-headed & Yellow-throated Vireos also  
hanging in. Red-eyed & Warbling Vireos are both common.

Overall, somewhat similar to the previous day & thus again, at least  
25 Warbler species were found in the park, including MOURNING Warbler  
in multiple locations.  Also seen again by many was a singing  
Tennessee Warbler at close range in the n. end of the Ramble (with a  
couple others of the species in scattered locations), & multiples of  
Bay-breasted & Cape May including males & females of each and in  
locations including but not limited to the southeast part of the park,  
the north end, the bridle path on south, & north sides of reservoir,  
and around the Ramble area.  An Orange-crowned Warbler was reported by  
some, & also seen were Hooded, Blackburnian (multiple & still some  
males), several late Palm (the latter species being found lately from  
all 5 of NYC's boros/counties, indicating a late batch of these),  
Prairie (female) & still very good numbers of N. Waterthrush,  
Ovenbird, Black-and-white, N. Parula, Common Yellowthroat, Black- 
throated Blue, Chestnut-sided, Wilson's, Canada, American Redstart, &  
Magnolia, with Blackpoll again in double-digit numbers - but still not  
the big push of that species.  Multiple observers birding on their own  
as well as with small informal groups were able to tally 20 warbler  
species on the day, some finding that number even without visiting the  
Ramble or the north woods.

Flycatchers again include multiple Empidonax [genus] species and more  
Yellow-bellied as well as Least & now Alder have been identified by  
call &/or song, with some Willow also found, & others of the group  
which were silent, all these occurring in many corners of the park,  
including the Ramble, s. end and north end. Olive-sided also  
continued, as did Great Crested Flycatchers, & E. Kingbirds (some on  
nest territories).

Sparrows being found continue to include Lincoln's in multiple areas,  
some Savannah in a few places, as well as Swamp, White-throated,  
Field, Chipping, Song, & most remarkably, Dark-eyed Junco (with a few  
also being found in other boroughs so there is a "late" trend in a  
number of migrants in the area, despite a majority of the early-spring  
migrants having moved on), & also E. Towhee still around (and a rare  
nester in Central).

Other species being seen widely include Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Indigo  
Bunting, Baltimore Oriole, Swainson's Thrush, Veery, Gray Catbird, and  
House Wren. There are still Ruby-crowned Kinglets in some numbers  
although they've been dwindling. Also being seen are Gray-cheeked &  
that type of Thrush (some singing Gray-cheeked song) as well as Wood &  
still a modest no. of Hermit Thrushes. Cuckoo sightings dropped off  
but some were still being found, esp. of Yellow-billed.  At least a  
few Common Nighthawks are still in the park, & some intrepid observers  
have found there either before or after true-daylight hours in a  
couple of locations.  There are plenty of additional migrant &  
resident species, some of which may be reported on in the next day or  
two.

good observing,

Tom Fiore

in multiple locations.  Also seen again by many was a singing  
Tennessee Warbler at close range in the n. end of the Ramble (with a  
couple others of the species in scattered locations), & multiples of  
Bay-breasted & Cape May including males & females of each and in  
locations including but not limited to the southeast part of the park,  
the north end, the bridle path on south, & north sides of reservoir,  
and around the Ramble area.  An Orange-crowned Warbler was reported by  
some, & also seen were Hooded, Blackburnian (multiple & still some  
males), several late Palm (the latter species being found lately from  
all 5 of NYC's boros/counties, indicating a late batch of these),  
Prairie (female) & still very good numbers of N. Waterthrush,  
Ovenbird, Black-and-white, N. Parula, Common Yellowthroat, Black- 
throated Blue, Chestnut-sided, Wilson's, Canada, American Redstart, &  
Magnolia, with Blackpoll again in double-digit numbers - but still not  
the big push of that species.  Multiple observers birding on their own  
as well as with small informal groups were able to tally 20 warbler  
species on the day, some finding that number even without visiting the  
Ramble or the north woods.

Flycatchers again include multiple Empidonax [genus] species and more  
Yellow-bellied as well as Least & now Alder have been identified by  
call &/or song, with some Willow also found, & others of the group  
which were silent, all these occurring in many corners of the park,  
including the Ramble, s. end and north end. Olive-sided also  
continued, as did Great Crested Flycatchers, & E. Kingbirds (some on  
nest territories).

Sparrows being found continue to include Lincoln's in multiple areas,  
some Savannah in a few places, as well as Swamp, White-throated,  
Field, Chipping, Song, & most remarkably, Dark-eyed Junco (with a few  
also being found in other boroughs so there is a "late" trend in a  
number of migrants in the area, despite a majority of the early-spring  
migrants having moved on), & also E. Towhee still around (and a rare  
nester in Central).

Other species being seen widely include Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Indigo  
Bunting, Baltimore Oriole, Swainson's Thrush, Veery, Gray Catbird, and  
House Wren. There are still Ruby-crowned Kinglets in some numbers  
although they've been dwindling. Also being seen are Gray-cheeked &  
that type of Thrush (some singing Gray-cheeked song) as well as Wood &  
still a modest no. of Hermit Thrushes. Cuckoo sightings dropped off  
but some were still being found, esp. of Yellow-billed.  At least a  
few Common Nighthawks are still in the park, & some intrepid observers  
have found there either before or after true-daylight hours in a  
couple of locations.  There are plenty of additional migrant &  
resident species, some of which may be reported on in the next day or  
two.

good observing,
