[nysbirds-l] Top 10 Locations: Additional Counties - 2 (NYS eBird Hotspots)

2017-04-17 Thread Ben Cacace
Location pages have been created for the current top 10 sites for both
Dutchess and Saratoga Counties based on total species seen. Numbers in
parentheses represents the # of sub-locations for these sites.

If you spot any issues with the pages please let me know off list. Also, if
you have visited any of these sites could you help verify that the
'Directions' link on the location pages points to a public parking spot or
to an entrance to the site? Thanks!

Total # of shared locations (hotspots) added to 20 new pages is 36 bringing
the total coverage to 1,441 hotspots or 25.7% of 5,599 for New York State.

[nysbirds-l] Queens County Bird Club - Wed. April 19 - Dr. Edward Eden will present "Avian and Human Lungs: A Comparison"

2017-04-17 Thread Nancy Tognan
The Queens County Bird Club will be meeting at the Alley Pond Environmental
Center, 228-06 Northern Blvd Douglaston, NY 11362   
>Map of location<  

at 8:00 pm on Wednesday,  April 19, 2017.  Free admission.  Refreshments
served.

Public transit users:  Meeting location is one mile from Bayside LIRR
station;  you may either walk, take the Q12 bus, or use car service located
at the station.

 

Dr. Edward Eden, MD, will present "Avian and Human Lungs:  A Comparison "  

Dr. Edward Eden, a specialist in lung diseases, has a strong
interest in the comparative physiology of lung structure and function in
animals. He grew up in England and as a child was always fascinated by
birds. This interest has developed and flourished throughout his life.
Currently he is the director of the Pulmonary Physiology Laboratory at Mount
Sinai Hospitals,  and is a Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of
Medicine

Dr. Eden will review the principles of structure of
mammalian and avian lungs and the relationship of this to the physiologic
functions of ventilation, gas exchange and oxygen supply. Dr. Eden will
highlight some variations in structure and physiology as adaptations to
oxygen demand in some species of birds.

Re: [nysbirds-l] W. Cattle Egret & Central Park, NYC 4/16-17

2017-04-17 Thread Dominic Garcia-Hall
Tom, et al.
For what it's worth, if you're still on the fence about seeing this CAEG,
it might be prudent to do it soon. I just made a quick pass through and the
maintenance guys said they were about to start work on the lawn where it's
been feeding. There was heavy machinery involved The egret was still
there but was much flightier than it had been (and was out of sight
somewhere for the first 30 mins we looked).

Tom, et al.
For what it's worth, if you're still on the fence about seeing this CAEG,
it might be prudent to do it soon. I just made a quick pass through and the
maintenance guys said they were about to start work on the lawn where it's
been feeding. There was heavy machinery involved The egret was still
there but was much flightier than it had been (and was out of sight
somewhere for the first 30 mins we looked).

[nysbirds-l] W. Cattle Egret & Central Park, NYC 4/16-17

2017-04-17 Thread Thomas Fiore
Monday, 17 April, 2017 -

A Western Cattle Egret is continuing at the north side of West 28th Street, 
between Eighth & Ninth Avenues in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood.

—
Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City) -

Some of the migration movement in & (far) beyond the park, beyond the city, as 
well as NE into New England & to (or perhaps into) eastern Canada’s border; 
certain migrant species that we aree just barely seeing ones or threes of in 
the NYC area have made it, albeit usually in single or small numbers to various 
sites to to the N/NE… but for some of those spp., a good many in total have 
passed thru - not the bulk of a species migration onward, but more than in 
single, “overshoot” mode in only minor fashion.  Of course that surge of very 
warm air that pushed in on Saturday & especially Sunday helped.

The far-north end of the park has been a decent place from which to guage some 
of the movement, but a variety of species have occurred park-wide, with however 
the southern-most end seeming the quietest of any defined sector in the park.  
There has also been at least some flyover in the first hour of daylight, among 
birds which mainly migrate at night.

A list of some of the species seen in Central today (4/17) & on Sunday, 16 
April:

Common Loon (1, reservoir thru noon Monday)
Pied-billed Grebe (reservoir)
Red-necked Grebe (sadly, still on reservoir & it will soon be presumed not in 
prime condition, if it remains thru this month…)
Double-crested Cormorant (very many fly-overs, often seen from n. end of park, 
esp. on Sunday, plus multiple withiun the park)
Great Blue Heron (4 were observed on Sunday, with 1 of the 4 seen south of 96th 
St. - all in flight in early morning)
Great Egret (25++ fly-overs on Sunday, mainly on usual east-west pathway across 
the n. end of park, plus several in the park & cont. into today)
Snowy Egret (minimum of 2 fly-overs, as above these mainly seen as regular 
fly-overs if paying close attention to the n. end / east-west sky-path)
Green Heron (undisclosed location in park, although this was perhaps just a 
migrant passing thru - on Sunday)
Black-crowned Night-Heron (not that many except in late evening-dusk, when more 
come to visit & some may linger & rest the subsequent day[s])
Turkey Vulture (several; one of these observed with Brenda Inskeep from the far 
north end of the park, Sunday p.m.)
-
Canada Goose (modest numbers, some on nests)
Brant (a few fly-overs, these get more common as fly-overs in the next 2-4 
weeks, if looking up a lot…)
Wood Duck (minimum of 12 fly-overs, circling the Meer near first-light Monday, 
not stopping in there)
Gadwall (rather few)
Mallard
Northern Shoveler (very modest numbers, still on several water-bodies)
Green-winged Teal (1 hen (female) on the Lake, Monday early a.m.)
Bufflehead (20+ in total were continuing in the park into Monday a.m.)
Ruddy Duck (few remained as of Monday)
Osprey (not noted by me in past 2 days, but have been seen a few times in past 
week, as fly-overs & one investigating the reservoir briefly)
Red-tailed Hawk (not uncommon if sought in & near Central Park at any time of 
year)
American Kestrel (not that uncommon if sought in & near Central Park at any 
time of year, esp. evident in spring thru fall)
Merlin (at least 2 have been irregularly seen into today & are presumed the 
same 2 lingerers; they are not a pair)
Peregrine Falcon (occasional to frequently-seen, according in part to amount of 
observers & their attempts to see Manhattan resident birds)
American Coot (at least 2 continued today, this is a drop-off in numbers of 80% 
from earlier in April)
Solitary Sandpiper (1, Meer [north end of park], but as too-often seen, flushed 
off by an unleashed large dog & then not re-found; west edge.)
Laughing Gull (several visited sporadically on more than a few days in the past 
10+ days, seems less likely very early or very late in day; reservoir)
Ring-billed Gull (mostly modest numbers)
Great Black-backed Gull (fair numbers at times)
['feral'] Rock Pigeon
Mourning Dove
Chimney Swift (one, over Great Lawn Monday a.m., & seen moving south-southwest 
somewhat steadily as a weather front approached w/darkewr clouds)
Red-headed Woodpecker (1 continues in bright plumage in the area just west of 
East 68th Street, but for how much longer - perhaps all this month, or…?)
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (modest numbers; many have passed thru in this month 
relatively unnoticed; more yet to come…)
Downy Woodpecker
Hairy Woodpecker (a regular sighting in the north woods, but can be unobtrusive 
when not calling a lot, nor very active)
Yellow-shafted Flicker (many, including at least modest early morning diurnal 
flight, much more evidennt in north end in earliest hours of the day)

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Scissor-tailed Flycatcher NO

2017-04-17 Thread Andrew Baksh
Adding to areas covered. I searched unsuccessfully this morning, Brooklyn Army 
Terminal Pier 4 and Bush Terminal Piers Park.

The only highlights were 1 Cy Iceland Gull, very likely the continuing 
individual. Seen at both locations. Also, 1 Common Raven at Bush Terminal Piers 
Park.

It is starting to heat up after a bit of drizzle so if the Scissor-tailed 
Flycatcher is still in the area, it might pop out to eat.

Cheers,
