[nysbirds-l] eBird.org: Recent Additions to County Checklists

[Ben Cacace]

When working on the wiki for NYS eBird Hotspots I continually compare the
previous bar chart list with the current one and can spot any new additions
and/or deletions by species. By going to the maps or the 'Overview' I can
then determine the date the species was added to each county. Some are from
newly submitted checklists from several decades ago.

This is not easy to see on the eBird.org website. On the Overview page you
can sort on 'First Seen' but if the species was added from a checklist
dating from months or years ago it won't appear at the top of the list.

Green represents a New York State first and yellow shows species added for
the first time this year.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park NYC - Sunday Sept. 18, 2016 - 12 R-b Nuthatches, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, 8 Wood Warbler Species

[Deborah Allen]

Central Park NYC 
Sunday Sept. 18, 2016
OBS: Robert DeCandido, PhD, m.ob. on bird walk starting from the dock on Turtle 
Pond at 9am. 


A bit slow today. Highlights included 12 Red-breasted Nuthatches (5 locations), 
a Ruby-crowned Kinglet,  and 8 Wood Warbler Species. Red-breasted Nuthatch 
numbers vary from day to day with an active migration going on. We estimate 
fewer than 100 in the entire park on any given day, perhaps a few more on a 
good day up to now. Numbers may increase in October. The most reliable 
locations for Red-breasted Nuthatches are areas with conifers like the Pinetum 
& Shakespeare Garden. 

Birds like American Robins, European Starling, Brown Thrashers, and others have 
been feeding in the Tupelo, a.k.a. Sour Gum, at the Tupelo Field. The oily 
fruit is a favorite of thrushes. 

Despite a thorough search no Philadelphia Vireos or Red-headed Woodpeckers 
turned up in the Ramble today. 

Mallard - Turtle Pond
Mourning Dove - residents
Chimney Swift - 10
Ruby-throated Hummingbird - 2 Oven (Jewelweed), 1 Summer House Swamp
Herring Gull - flyovers
Great Black-backed Gull - flyovers
Red-bellied Woodpecker - residents
Downy Woodpecker - residents

Pinetum, Maint. Field, Tupelo Tield)
White-breasted Nuthatch - 3
House Wren - Shakespeare Garden
Carolina Wren - 2 Tupelo Field
Ruby-crowned Kinglet - in the Tupelo at Tupelo Field (Bob Ruvolo)
American Robin
Gray Catbird
Brown Thrasher - 2 in the Tupelo at Tupelo Field eating the fruit
House Finch - in Bald Cypress at Turtle Pond
Northern Waterthrush - 4 (2 at Turtle Pond, 1 Upper Lobe, 1 at the Gill)
Blue-winged Warbler - Belvedere Castle (around 6:30am - Bob before walk)
Black-and-white Warbler - 8
Common Yellowthroat - 3
American Redstart - 12 (including 1 adult male)
Northern Parula - 5
Magnolia Warbler - 3 (Humming Tombstone, Maint. Field & Captain's 
Bench/Balancing Rock - thanks Sandra Critelli)
Pine Warbler - Turtle Pond Duck
Northern Cardinal
Rose-breasted Grosbeak - 2 Jewelweed at Oven (Andrea Hessel)
Common Grackel - Turtle Pond
Baltimore Oriole - Humming Tombstone

A first-cycle Laughing Gull circling over the Pinetum was seen on the 
Saturday's walk (9/17/2016) along with the other gulls.
