[nysbirds-l] Request for assistance – song recordings of migrating Mourning Warblers

2019-05-01 Thread Jay Pitocchelli
It is year 5 of this project and I am once again writing to request your 
help and participate in a Citizens Science Project that involves 
recording migrating Mourning Warbler songs.Our lab is trying to 
determine what role song can play in understanding migratory 
connectivity in this species.We are interested in whether different song 
populations of the Mourning Warbler (Western, Eastern, Nova Scotia, 
Newfoundland) migrate together or separately to their respective 
breeding areas.Here is a link to a map with previous years’ results 
based on recordings from over 100 birders.

https://mowasongmapper.weebly.com/mapping-songs-with-google-maps.html

All you need is a smartphone with a voice recording app and some 
luck.Videos with recordings are also helpful.The web page link below 
describes the project and how to make recordings on your Smartphone in 
more detail.Please send song recordings to the Mourning Warbler Sound 
Lab (jpitocch AT anselm.edu).

https://mowasongmapper.weebly.com/

There is also a link to a recent national Audubon Society story on this 
research.

RE: [nysbirds-l] White-faced Ibises Heckscher SP Suffolk Co.

2019-05-01 Thread Shaibal Mitra
The two White-faced Ibises continued in the flooded picnic area when I left 
around 10:00.

Both are interesting-looking and not quite typical. One individual, the one Pat 
found yesterday I think, has very limited white facial feathering and 
not-very-bright (but definitely pink-red, especially in good light) facial skin 
and eye. The second individual, found by Pat this morning, is more 
typical-looking in these respects. Both show decidedly pink-red ankles and gray 
bills--appropriate for White-faced Ibis.

Interestingly, the duller-faced bird is very large and very tawny-colored on 
the neck and body--classic White-faced--whereas the brighter-faced bird looks 
much more like a Glossy Ibis in terms of structure and body plumage. My best 
assessment is that both are within the range of expected variation for 
relatively dull adult White-faced Ibises.

Subject: [nysbirds-l] White-faced Ibises Heckscher SP Suffolk Co.

Last evening I photographed (poorly, as is my usual wont) a White-faced
Ibis in non breeding plumage--no white borders around the pink eye and
facial skin, and legs pink only around the "knees", feeding with 17
Glossy Ibis in the flooded picnic area of Field 6.

This morning I checked again; there were at least 30 ibis feeding
actively in the puddles, and I immediately picked out a White-faced,
this one showing moderately distinct white borders on the face, and
brighter pink legs than yesterday's bird. I had to race off to work but
alerted Shai Mitra to be looking out for a second bird when he arrived
shortly after. Shai did indeed find what is certainly yesterday's bird

RE: [nysbirds-l] White-faced Ibises Heckscher SP Suffolk Co.

2019-05-01 Thread Shaibal Mitra
The two White-faced Ibises continued in the flooded picnic area when I left 
around 10:00.

Both are interesting-looking and not quite typical. One individual, the one Pat 
found yesterday I think, has very limited white facial feathering and 
not-very-bright (but definitely pink-red, especially in good light) facial skin 
and eye. The second individual, found by Pat this morning, is more 
typical-looking in these respects. Both show decidedly pink-red ankles and gray 
bills--appropriate for White-faced Ibis.

Interestingly, the duller-faced bird is very large and very tawny-colored on 
the neck and body--classic White-faced--whereas the brighter-faced bird looks 
much more like a Glossy Ibis in terms of structure and body plumage. My best 
assessment is that both are within the range of expected variation for 
relatively dull adult White-faced Ibises.

On Monday very early a.m., a reliable report came from an experienced observer 
of a heard-only Whip-poor-will at an unexpected area of Manhattan, in Greenwich 
Village. An American Bittern was reliably reported, by the Central Park Meer in 
that park’s north end, as a flyover on Tuesday; this may have landed in the 
adjacent wooded area.

A singing male Golden-winged Warbler was enjoyed by many observers on Tuesday, 
seen by many with some efforts, & heard singing by even more; observations 
included those by the dozens of participants on multiple group bird-walks, 
including those led by guides with the Linnaean Society of New York, the
