[nysbirds-l] Northern Wheatear at Wilson Hill WMA

[Jeff Bolsinger]

Alan Belford called me this evening to say that a group of birders from the 
Adirondacks he was leading had found a Northern Wheatear at Wilson Hill WMA in 
northern St. Lawrence County. I ran up there quickly and was able to get a 
couple of too-brief looks at it, and took a few poor photos that are included 
in the linked ebird checklist. Hopefully it stays put tonight so others can see 
it tomorrow. Note that tomorrow (Sunday, 27 August) is the last day that the 
restricted portions of Wilson Hill (including the spot where the wheatear was 
found today) will be open this summer. Here is my list from this evening: 

http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S38840993.

Directions: from highway 131 in the town of Louisville cross the Wilson Hill 
Causeway and turn left onto River Drive. Follow this to Wilson Hill Road and 
turn left, drive a short distance to the waterfowl check station and turn right 
onto a gravel road. Drive about 150 yards and check the mowed strips in the 
field for the wheatear; this evening it was in the second mowed strip on the 
right after the gate.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan, NYC & a few other places, 8/23-25

[Thomas Fiore]

Thursday and Friday, 24th-25th August, 2017
New York City, NY - in Brooklyn, in Manhattan - and let’s hear it from all the 
other parts.

It’s the time for a lot of migrants, with the “cold” (at least, cooler) weather 
fronts passing in these 3 most recent days.  

In Brooklyn (Kings County), a report of Golden-winged Warbler (male) came 
through, as seen by Ted Young, at the Ravine area of that excellent park, on 
Wed., 8/23.  The report was e-birded, although no pix, but for those wishing to 
see the report, it’s here:  http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S38783513

The following day, a group led by Tom Stephenson, again at Prospect Park, with 
visitors attending from as far away as Michigan, found 14 Warbler species on 
the BBC walk (that’s the Brooklyn Bird Club, for those from a bit farther out & 
fans of the broadcast-publishing network of the other side of the big pond) 
which T. Stephenson usually has on a weekly migration-months basis.  
Bay-breasted, Blackburnian, and both waterthrush were among the sightings of 
that, although a Golden-winged was not among the Thursday walk finds.

At Manhattan’s Inwood Hill Park (at the far north end of the island) a 
Golden-winged Warbler was discovered on Friday, 8/25, by Nate O’Reilly, in the 
area of the path to Henry Hudson bridge. 

...
In Central Park (Manhattan) at least 25 species of warblers (plus a hybrid 
form) were seen, in the 2-day period, Thurs.-Fri. 8/24-25. There were a number 
of possible / probable first-of-fall sightings.  However as with all “FOS” 
sightings, it is a matter of observers and who is looking.  Many species may 
actually have occurred before, & even well before, specified-noted dates. 

Central Park, where I & many others were on both Thursday & Friday, had an 
obvious influx, and among the species noted there, by some of us, are:

Double-crested Cormorant
Great Blue Heron (flyover)
Great Egret
Snowy Egret
Green Heron
Black-crowned Night-Heron
Canada Goose
Wood Duck (2)
Gadwall
Mallard
Northern Shoveler (1)

Red-winged Blackbird
Common Grackle
Brown-headed Cowbird

Thanks to the many who quietly & patiently found a lot of the above birds.  

Good birding,

Tom Fiore
Manhattan

[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots: New/Renamed Locations (19-Aug-'17)

[Ben Cacace]

Thanks to @Team_eBird for their dedication keeping eBird.org running
smoothly and for the group of New York State hotspot moderators for working
on shared location suggestions.

New and renamed shared locations (hotspots) have been updated for the 62
county wiki pages. You can find a summary of the changes below with
clickable links where pages exist for a dedicated hotspot.

http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/NewHotspots
http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/RenamedHotspots

The above links now appear on the home page (see below) on the 'Shared
Location Updates' line eliminating the need to refer back to this message:

Home page: http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York

The alphabetized page with all hotspots (5,835) has also been updated.
Links to both the New and Renamed pages appears on the 'Shared Location
Updates' line:

Alphabetical list of hotspots:
http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/AlphaHotspots

If you wish to merge your personal location with an existing hotspot here
are the steps:

— Sign into eBird.org
— Go to "My eBird" & select "Manage My Locations" in the right panel
— At the bottom of the screen click "Show All" to see all locations on one
page
— You can sort the list by clicking on any of the headers: Location,
Country, State/Province, County, Type* or # of Checklists
— Select your personal location (it will show a letter "P" under Type*) by
clicking "Edit" on the right side of the line
— Select the "Merge" button and you'll see all nearby hotspots as red icons
— Keep the checkmark for "Delete after merging" selected
— Click the icon that best fits your location
— ... now you'll see the hotspot description above the 'Merge' button along
with the # of checklists you'll be merging
— Click on the 'Merge' button
— Answer Yes to the 'Yes or No' query

All checklists for that personal location will be combined with the hotspot
with this process.

Two Baird's and 3 Buff-breasted sandpipers have been coming and going from a

All five are currently farther out in the field, just beyond the first strip of

[nysbirds-l] Upland Sandpiper & Buff-Breasted Sandpiper (Staten Island)

[Jose Ramirez-Garofalo]

At 1328 Anthony Ciancamino and I found an Upland Sandpiper and a
Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Miller Field in Staten Island.

We were alerted to the presence of the Upland Sandpiper by its flight call
while we were scanning feeding shorebirds. Twenty minutes later (and after
hearing it call multiple times) we were able to locate the Upland Sandpiper
in the grass next to the airplane hangar.

The buff-breasted sandpiper was in the same area, feeding along the large
puddle in front of the hangar.

Good birding,

Jose & Anthony

[nysbirds-l] White-winged Dove

[Elizabeth Dinapoli]

Whilst checking out the Grasspipers on Doctor's Path, Stacy Meyerheinrich 
noticed two Mourning Doves flying over the field west of the Grasspiper field. 
Turns out, one was a White-winged  Dove. Identified by Arie Gilbert. Also seen 
by myself, Pat Aiken, Kurt Meyerheinrich and a few others (lifer for a few of 
us here). 

Happy Birding!  Almost time for Oysters at Little Creek Oyster farm in 
Greenport.
