[nysbirds-l] Roosevelt Island
On the way to annual Cherry Blossom festival of Roosevelt Island, visited the community garden which usually has a good collection of birds. Had a singing Northern Parula. They were reported last weekend - but not sure if any have been seen in Manhattan yet. Also of interest around garden - Yellow-rump Warbler, Field Sparrow, Brown Creeper, and plenty of Hermit Thrushes. A few Brants, a Palm Warbler (yellow) and a few Ruby-crowned Kinglets were by the southern end.

[nysbirds-l] Metro NYC radar
For the second night in a row, despite unfavorable winds, there is moderately high reflectivity on radar, indicating a fairly good density of migrating birds. But while yesterday things petered out (no pun intended) in NJ, tonight it looks like they will be reaching the NYC metro area. Though the numbers aren’t huge, and I have been know to have radar hallucinations in the past, it looks promising for a decent little influx tomorrow.

[nysbirds-l] Orange-crowned Warbler, NYBG, Bronx
I led a walk this morning at NYBG for NYC Audubon - normally the Botanic Gardens are the realm of the inimitable Debbie Becker of course, but I venture up there now and then. It was a gorgeous day today, but there didn’t seem to be much in the way of new migratory movement, which surprised me given the mild conditions and favorable winds the night before. Nonetheless, we spotted 36 species, including a cooperative Orange-crowned Warbler loosely associating with a flock of Yellow-rumps on the Thain Forest path just north of the old snuff factory. We also had a Louisiana Waterthrush along the Bronx River further north in the forest, as well as many more Yellow-rumps, several Palms, and two Black-and-White Warblers. Nothing else out of the ordinary... Tree & Northern Rough-winged Swallows over the “Lakes”, a small flock of Cedar Waxwings nearby, lots of nest-building activity among the Grackles & Robins.

[nysbirds-l] Prairie Warbler, Sands Point Preserve
An early male Prairie Warbler at the Sands Point Preserve (Nassau) this morning was unexpected; it was near the “waterfall” that feeds the pond. Many Palm (23) and Yellow-rumped (26) Warblers. Other migrants included Turkey Vulture (overhead), 3 Wood Duck, 4 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, 5 N. Rough-winged Swallows. 63 Long-tailed Ducks (flagged by eBird as too many/too late), were on the water in LI Sound, all together in one tight flock. eBird also flagged 23 Palm Warblers as too many.
