[nysbirds-l] Stone Bridge Nighthawk Watch - Setauket

2018-09-11 Thread JOHN TURNER
After several days of little to no action presumably due to the 
inclement weather, the nighthawks arrived today with 306 birds being 
counted. This total represents the second highest total recorded to 
date, eclipsed by the 573-bird day last September 8th.

[nysbirds-l] Yellow-breasted Chat, Jones Beach, Nassau County

2018-09-11 Thread Timothy Healy
I just found a Yellow-breasted Chat in the brush north of the road and west of 
the Coast Guard Station at Jones Beach. It was along the western edge of a 
somewhat open bowl, observed at these coordinates: (40.5886626,-73.5587467). 
The bird appeared while I was pishing for warblers, dropping out of sight after 
investigating the noise. 

Cheers!

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC - Y.-br. Chat 9/10

2018-09-11 Thread Thomas Fiore
Monday, 10 September, 2018 -

A Yellow-breasted Chat appeared in Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City), seen at 
 3 p.m. on the southern edge of the Ramble / Lake edge (sometimes locally 
called the “riviera”) in thick shrubs near the very large boulders there, & 
then went unseen by me, in the nearly 1 hour I took hoping to grab a photo. At 
that hour, rain had let up, bringing more tourists & etc. quickly in & thru the 
park, including near where the chat had popped up. For 10 seconds, a brilliant 
view, on top of a poke berry bush, then in typical migrant-chat fashion, not 
even another glimpse. This area is a bit east of the Bow Bridge, perhaps 12+ 
yards east.

One other nice find (not mine!) was a Connecticut Warbler, in N.Y. County, but 
on Governor’s Island, on Saturday 9/8, found by Gabriel Willow; as far as I’m 
aware, it did not turn up again for other birders in following days.  The 
report (into eBird) was from the Nolan Park sector of the island.

Further reports for the past several days, later or next day; there has been 
nice diversity, if not enormous numbers (of most species) for Central Park, in 
the recent rainy and/or windy weather.

Rain & storm-birding can be interesting…

[nysbirds-l] Marbled Godwit, Jones Beach, Nassau County

2018-09-11 Thread Timothy Healy
Yesterday’s Hudsonians are today replaced by a Marbled Godwit feeding alongside 
American Oystercatchers and “Western” Willets at the Jones Beach Coast Guard 
Station sandbar. 

On the topic of overnight turnover, my patch high count of 43 Lesser 
Black-backed Gulls in the WE2 lots yesterday afternoon has dwindled to just 9 
birds this morning. 

Cheers!
