BEGIN TAPE

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, October 6th
2017 at 7pm. The highlights of today's tape are BROWN BOOBY, CALLIOPE
HUMMINGBIRD, AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN, AMERICAN AVOCET, EURASIAN WIGEON, LARK
SPARROW, CLAY-COLORED SPARROW, DICKCISSEL and SUMMER TANAGER.

The adult BROWN BOOBY first spotted on Lake Montauk on Wednesday September
27th was still present today continuing to roost mainly on the mast of the
yacht Maui when not cruising around much of Lake Montauk hunting for food.
The Maui can be viewed by looking south from the Star Island entrance road
off West Lake Drive. If not there a good vantage point to scan for the
BOOBY is from the end of South Lake Drive but it does return regularly to
the Maui which can also be seen from strategic points along West Lake
Drive. This bird is providing a rather unique opportunity for regional
birders to see this species in southern New York State.

Certainly not as accommodating but an excellent local record was an
apparent immature male CALLIOPE HUMMINGBIRD that visited a private feeder
in Baiting Hollow back on Sunday October 1st. The bird was decently
photographed but has not been seen since.

There's been no sign of the LARK BUNTING at Robert Moses State Park since
Friday September 29th.

At Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge an AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN was present at the
north end of the East Pond last Saturday but has been absent since
nonetheless some good birds on the East Pond have featured the AMERICAN
AVOCET continuing around the north end through Thursday. Three CASPIAN
TERNS last Saturday and at least 2 yesterday and on Thursday 2 AMERICAN
GOLDEN-PLOVERS at the north end a female type EURASIAN WIGEON with a good
variety of other waterfowl on the pond. Both Bald Eagle and Peregrine
Falcon also continue to harass the birds on the pond. Five AMERICAN PIPITS
were around the south end of the pond Thursday.

Other shorebirds this week have featured an AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER at Jones
Beach West End Monday to today and up to 6 or more LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS
continuing on Santapogue Creek off Venetian Boulevard in West Babylon.

Birds seen off the Camp Hero overlook at Montauk Point Wednesday included 8
COMMON EIDER, 11 CORY'S SHEARWATERS, a PARASITIC JAEGER and 2 CASPIAN
TERNS. Two CASPIAN TERNS were at Mecox Thursday along with 34 ROYAL TERNS
and 31 ROYALS were counted at Plumb Beach in Brooklyn Wednesday.

A RED-HEADED WOODPECKER was at Robert Moses State Park Saturday and unusual
for Long Island was a PILEATED WOODPECKER at Jayne's Hill Woods in Melville
last Saturday. A SUMMER TANAGER found at Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn
Sunday was nicely photographed and interesting was a YELLOW-THROATED
WARBLER report from Clove Lakes Park on Staten Island Wednesday.

The LARK SPARROW was spotted at Jones Beach West End last Sunday with a
smattering of CLAY-COLORED SPARROWS included singles Sunday in Prospect
Park and Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn as well as out at Tiana Beach and
one on Randall's Island on Wednesday. A DICKCISSEL at the Brooklyn Botanic
Garden Thursday and Friday followed singles last Saturday at Roosevelt
Island and at Robert Moses State Park and one Sunday at Pelham Bay Park
where a VESPER SPARROW was also reported. Other sparrows noted lately have
included NELSON'S, LINCOLN'S and WHITE-CROWNED.

Among the still decent collection of warblers are such as TENNESSEE,
BAY-BREASTED, CAPE MAY and HOODED. ORANGE-CROWNED were reported from
Central Park and Prospect Parks, Green-wood

[nysbirds-l] Linnaean Society of NY Program, October 10th; **Entrance change beginning at 7pm**

[Richard Fried]

On Tuesday, October 10th, the Linnaean Society of New York's 2017-18 Speaker
Program will feature two new presentations.

6:00 pm - The Artist, the Musician, and the Birds of America - Fred
Baumgarten

 

Anthony Philip Heinrich was a little-known 19th-century American composer
whose life was closely entwined with that of John James Audubon-so much so
that he is buried with the Audubon family in New York City. One persona was
the "American Woodsman"; the other persona, the "Beethoven of America."
Heinrich's music, like Audubon's art, drew inspiration from the wilderness
and wild birds of the continent. Recently, new examples of Heinrich's work
have come to light, including one specifically dedicated to Audubon. Using
images provided by Audubon and music by Heinrich, Fred Baumgarten, a former
staff member of the National Audubon Society and its resident expert on John
James Audubon, will share this astonishing connection between an obscure
19th-century composer and Audubon, and what it tells us about antebellum
culture in America.

 

** Please note that the Museum's 77th Street entrance will close at 7 pm
that evening.  After 7 pm, please enter through the Central Park West
Security Entrance below the main stairs along Central Park West. Go through
the Hall of North American Mammals and Hall of Northwest Coast Indians to
get to the Linder Theater. 

 

7:30 pm - Why Do Birds Sing? How Do They Learn Their Songs? And How Can
Birders Learn

   Them Too - Tom Stephenson

 

It takes energy to sing. So why do most birds spend so much time vocalizing?
What are the different functions of songs and calls? Are songs learned or
innate? And how do we know? Tom Stephenson, author of The Warbler Guide and
several important birding apps, will present an overview of the kinds of
vocalizations that birds make, how they are acquired, and how the
song-learning process unfolds. He'll discuss why you might hear very odd
songs from common species in early spring, and what that tells us about the
singer. Stephenson will also cover the many different kinds of vocalizations
one individual bird might make, what they may mean, and discuss species that
sing only one song across the US compared with other species that have
hundreds of different songs. He'll explore some strategies to use when we
hear a song we don't recognize and see why traditional field guides aren't
much help. Finally, he'll discuss general memorization theory and outline a
simple and very effective technique for memorizing many bird songs. 

 

Both presentations are free and will be held in the Linder Theater on the
first floor of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
Again, before 7 pm, enter at West 77th Street between Central Park West and
Columbus Avenue. After 7 pm, please enter through the Central Park West
Security Entrance below the main stairs along Central Park West

 

All welcome!

2017-2018 program can be found here:

Re: [nysbirds-l] Say's Phoebe - Yates County

[Jay McGowan]

I corresponded with the observer and looked for the bird this morning, from
dawn until around 8:45, but with no luck. He said it was hanging around his
barn and on fences out in his fields all afternoon yesterday, but he has
not seen it so far today. Light rain kept activity low while we were there,
so it's possible it might still be in the area. He said he would let me
know promptly if it reappears today or in coming days, so I will get the
word out with contact information if that happens, but it may have moved on
as these species often does. It did spend all its time on private property
and would have been challenging to see from the road, but Ulf was very
friendly and knowledgable and would undoubtedly be willing to host more
birders should the bird return.

[nysbirds-l] Say's Phoebe - Yates County

[Willie D'Anna]

A SAY'S PHOEBE was reported to eBird in Yates County yesterday. The location
is a few miles east of Canandaigua Lake. The report is accompanied by
photos: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S39568663

 

Check the map link in the checklist for a more precise location although we
know that these links are not always that accurate if the observer does not
use a phone's GPS. Most importantly, we do not know if this bird was on
private property, though it seems likely, and whether or not it can be
viewed from a public road. Does anyone on this list have more information on
this report?

 

Lastly, Say's Phoebe is on the state review list and reports to the NYSARC
that document this bird would be greatly appreciated:
http://nybirds.org/RecordsReporting.htm

 

Good birding!

Willie
