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

[Ben Cacace]

When working on the NYS eBird Hotspots wiki I compare the previous bar
chart list of species with the current one to pick up any additions or
deletions. By going to each county's 'Overview' page you can determine the
date the species was added for each county. Some are from newly submitted
checklists from several months/years ago.

On the 'Overview' page you can sort on 'First Seen' but if the species
wasn't added recently it won't appear at the top of the list.

For each county on the wiki click the 'Overview' link on the 'Explore a
Location' line:
— http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York

Yellow highlights a species added for the first time this year.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Cupsogue to Dune Road, LI:

[Mike]

A first year Bald Eagle flew west past Cupsogue this morning. Among the very 
few other notables this morning was a dark phase Rough-legged Hawk hovering 
over the bay islands north of Cupsogue and two flocks of Snow Buntings, 
totaling about 90 birds, at Tiana Beach and south of the Ponquogue Bridge.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ash-throated Flycatcher, Lido Beach Park West

[John Mora]

Flycatcher was still in the same western area mid afternoon.

This bird is very flighty and is often hidden.  Seen twice flying off the park 
inland to two pines beyond red storage hut adjacent to last large gravel 
parking lot.

Northern oriole is still present as well as a flock of house finches and the 
scattered red breasted nuthatches in the pines.

On the beach there were 10 dunlin mixed in with 25 sanderlings. Also seen was a 
tight knit group of a dozen horned grebes performing synchronized swimming and 
diving.  Also present were a large number of red throated loons and fewer 
common loons, often five birds in the glass.  One adult cormorant flew West far 
out likely double crested.

[nysbirds-l] South Fork LI: Pacific Loon off Montauk Point

[Angus Wilson]

At 1:16 PM a basic plumage PACIFIC LOON flew east past the bluffs at Camp
Hero SP (Suffolk Co.) and rounded the point passing out of view. A search
from several vantage points along the northside of the point failed to re
find the bird. There are a lot of Red-throated and Common Loons in the area
so care is needed. There was a report of a Pacific Loon from this location
a couple of weeks ago.

The only other bird of note at the Point was a single RAZORBILL working
it's way through the large scoter/eider flock. The RED-NECKED GREBE
continues on the southwest arm of Fort Pond Bay.

[nysbirds-l] re; Bryant Park

[Alan Drogin]

Sorry, Tom - was writing of squabbling sparrows - so don’t all rush to the 
already crowded Bryant Park just to see Common White-throated Sparrows.  

And you’re done the right thing in pointing out your Catbirds were “Grey”, less 
anyone think the US has been inundated with a rare influx of “Black" Catbirds 
which followed me home from my recent trip in the Yucatan (^:  Like, you I also 
didn’t observe any Grey Catbirds in the beginning of the week - they appeared 
later - and still in numbers much lower than last year.

hi Alan & all,

I think I know that you were referring to the (somewhat common-in- 
Manhattan's Bryant Park) White-throated Sparrows - but with the  
capitalized 'C' & 'W' you -perhaps very unintentionally!- listed a  
bird that is indeed common - Common Whitethroat (Sylvia communis) -  
but, it's common in Europe & some of northern Asia in summer moving to  
south Asia and Arabia, Africa in winter, & would be an "ultra-mega"- 
rarity in the North American or western hemisphere region;  this nys  
list is looked-at by birders from other areas too, so a few might be  
wondering in say, Ireland or Finland or even Greenland, 'wow do the  
yanks really get that bird over there in New York?' - &, as far as I  
know, we don't (but will see you & the ten-thousand-other birders in  
the nw corner of Bryant Pk., if it turns out that we do :-)

By the by, there seemed to be a modest up-tick in Gray Catbirds in  
Central Park (Manhattan, NYC) in the last few days, in selected spots,  
unless it was simply that a dozen or so had been present thru that  
larger park, & came to prominence with changes in weather, or for  
other reasons; I suspect new, modest, arrival of them from points  
north, however.  Thank you for your reporting, good to hear what's  
doing in that so-busy park that gets so many interesting birds thru a  
year.  Lincoln's  Sparrow is a darned-good December find in NY.

Subject: [nysbirds-l] Bryant Park
This week I checked the birding action of Bryant Park for signs of  
scavenging among the food vendors in Bryant Park this winter.  
Unfortunately, the increase in booths, expanded ice rink deck eating  
area, and view-blocking two-story lounges, along with the larger  
crowds, have walled in/off many of the garden areas. That and the  
recent clearing of underbrush have rendered these areas nearly dead  
zones compared to years past where the birds had easy egress to hide  
after raiding the fallen crumbs left behind by hungry shoppers. Except  
for pigeons and fearless House Sparrows, most of the bird action has  
moved to the peripheral areas. There was a Hermit Thrush on the  
southern border and the typical Catbirds, although fewer in number at  
the northwest corner along with a Swamp Sparrow being bullied by the  
larger Common Whitethroats. A surprise was a Lincoln Sparrow skulking  
in the southwest corner, could be the same I’d seen in that area for a  
few weeks about a month ago.

Happy Birding,

[nysbirds-l] Barnacle Goose - Riverhead (Suffolk)

[Derek Rogers]

Just briefly picked out a single Barnacle Goose among a very large flock of 
roughly 6-7000 Canada Geese. The birds were feeding in the large farm field 
along the west side of CR-105, south of Northville Turnpike. Also present were 
2 Cackling Geese. 

Unfortunately a pick up truck drove out onto the field and kicked up the flock 
before I could get a full detail. 

The flock scattered in several directions but the majority appeared to head to 
the SW toward Merritts Pond. 

Best,
Derek Rogers

Sunday, 4 December, 2016 -
City Hall Park, lower Manhattan, New York City

Western Tanager continues at above park this morning - as do at least some of 
other most-recent species seen in the area such as a Yellow-breasted Chat, most 
regular in the Trinity Church cemetery, just down Broadway a few short blocks, 
on west side of that avenue.  The "Chat #2" from near or in City Hall Park has 
not been seen yet by me this day, but a search will commence.  Tanager seen & 
heard calling in the vicinity of the 'usual' areas, which is nearer the eastern 
faces of the 2 big buildings IN the park, & not far west of a prominent orange 
"detour" sign on the main east-west cross-path that is the path to be on for 
tanager-seekers.

City Hall Park is located south of Chambers Street, lower Manhattan - to the 
east of Broadway - it is also at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, & a few yards 
from the main pedestrian path to that bridge. The area the Tanager seems to be 
favoring is between the 2 major buildings IN the park, on / near an east-west 
path, be looking-up and listen for the distinctive call.s from the tanager.

Other interesting birds may be in the general area too!  Observers continued in 
numbers (as of 12/3) to see & seek the City Hall (and vicinity) birds.

good birding,

Tom Fiore,
Manhattan

[sent from 100 meters distance of the park & the tanager; 7:20 - 7:55 am 
sightings.]

[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn/Staten Island harbor feeding flock alert

[Michael Britt]

As of 20 minutes ago, there was a large feeding flock (2000+) of large
gulls around the Robbin's Reef Lighthouse and Passaic Valley Sewerage
Commission outflow pipe. This area would be viewable from the Veteran's
Memorial Park area in Brooklyn or the Staten Island ferry area described by
Isaac Grant yesterday. Unfortunately for me in Bayonne, at the 9/11
Memorial at the end of the Ocean Terminal, I'm looking into the sun! If a
jaegar is within eyeshot of the Verrazano, it will undoubtedly be
attracted. Not sure how long the feeding will continue...
