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

2017-12-07 Thread Ben Cacace
When working on the NYS eBird Hotspots wiki I'll compare the previous bar
chart list of species with the current one picking up any additions or
deletions. By going to each county's 'Overview' page you can determine the
date the species was added by county. Some are from newly submitted
checklists from many months / years ago.

It isn't possible to spot these additions from old checklists. 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 NYS eBird Hotspots site click the 'Overview' link on
the 'Explore a Location' line:
— http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York

Since last update: 7 days

Yellow highlights a species added for the first time over the past few
weeks.

RE:[nysbirds-l] Queens Western Tanager and Y.B. Chat

2017-12-07 Thread Steve Walter
I don't think it's been mentioned that the Yellow-breasted Chat has stayed
right around the perimeter of the pond (as far as I can tell). Mostly, it's
been on the north side toward the west end, but it's best seen looking
across from the south side. It has also ranged to the south side and the
west corner. 

 

I've posted some pictures of the interesting birds (and more) on my web site
http://stevewalternature.com/ (click Birds, Recent Work).

Subject: Western Tanager in Queens

 

Eric Miller again found Western Tanager this afternoon. I don't know whether
to refer to it as the Western Tanager or a Western Tanager. The location is
about a mile and a half drive from Alley Pond Environmental Center, or
whatever that comes out to as the tanager might fly. The site is Crocheron
Park in Bayside (also shown on Google Maps as John Golden Park). The
specific location was on the back (south) side of Crocheron Pond (also
called Golden Pond).  

 

>From the Cross Island Parkway, go west on Northern Blvd. to 221st Street
(second light after the parkway). Turn right and continue northward until
the end of 221st  , then make a left onto Corbett Road. When you hit 35th
Avenue, make a sharp right and go down the hill to the pond. Parking here is
ample.

 

Hopefully, this will be a more reliable situation than the one in Alley -
especially as we're heading toward CBC time.

[nysbirds-l] Western Tanager, Crocheron Park, Queens County

2017-12-07 Thread Peter Reisfeld
The Western Tanager found by Eric Miller yesterday ranged a bit today, from the 
willow at the pond to the shrubby area south and even to the vegetation on the 
north side of 35th avenue (where the Wilson’s was foraging). While not always 
easy to find, when present, she put on quite a show.  Here’s a link to a video:

Wishing you good birds,

Both Western Tanager and Yellow-breasted Chat continue. Add a female Wilson's 
Warbler to the list of goodies.

Cheers,

[nysbirds-l] HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER - YES. THURSDAY 12/7

2017-12-07 Thread Anders Peltomaa
I just saw the Flycatcher at Swampy Pin Oak. It moved through the shrubs
from South to North, as I sat on a bench enjoying a cup of coffee. The bird
may have continued towards Azalea.

Hoping it hangs around a few more days. CBC count week begins next
Thursday...

good birding,
