[nysbirds-l] [extra-limital] Frigatebird: ME; & Booby: NH; etc.
Extra-limital, but in the northeast (and quite possible the 2 species noted had passed thru NY air-space, including NY's ocean waters) are Frigatebird sightings from coastal Maine (Stratton Island, & Prout’s Neck), & the Brown Booby at Windham, New Hampshire that’s been widely noted to several list-serves. Details, notes, etc. are up on each state’s birding list-serves, and of course, other online media. The Frigatebird on the Maine coast was just reported today, Mon. 6/12. The N.H. Booby is reported as lingering to just now, ~ 4 p.m. on this Mon. afternoon. Just to make at least one note on local birds, in N.Y. City’s Central Park, there was still a singing male Mourning Warbler, which seemed to shut up by around 6:30 a.m., this at “Iphigene’s Walk”, which is within the NE quadrant of the Ramble area of Central. It’s even starting to get a bit “late” for that species still on migration, esp. for a male. Other migrants seemed sparse, and nesting birds were going pretty quiet by around 7 a.m. in the increasing warmth. A male Wood Duck was again noted at the CP reservoir (east side nr. about 93-94th, early a.m.) but a grebe was not, although a horned grebe present thru Sun. (6/11) there may of course still be lingering, or might have moved on as would be most expected by now. - - - Much farther from NY, but of possible interest to those who enjoy peeking in on various “nest-cams” - >>> We now have a working webcam on our first Pigeon Guillemot pair nesting in the boxes under the OSU Ship Operations Dock! You can follow their progress live (day or night) at: http://webcam.oregonstate.edu/pigu The pair settled into full-time incubation around June 2nd, after the eggs were laid on May 25th and 28th.

[nysbirds-l] Wilson's Plover -- West End Jones Beach
Hi all, Just wanted to get a quick word out that my mom and I just had a Wilson's Plover flyover us at the swale at West End. It was a quick view but it appeared to be a female based on the paler brown and narrow breast band. We have been unable to relocate. It flew west towards the ocean. Also present in the swale were 2 Black-necked Stilts and 4 White-rumped Sandpipers. Good luck if you try for it!
