[nysbirds-l] Orange-crowned warbler at SoFo (Bridgehampton) continues
After missing it last Thursday, I visited SoFo again today and the orange-crowned warbler showed. The fields on the museum property also are productive.

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, February 28th

BUNTING, TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE, BLACK GUILLEMOT, THICK-BILLED MURRE,
BARNACLE GOOSE, GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE, EURASIAN WIGEON, BARROW'S
GOLDENEYE, KING EIDER, HARLEQUIN DUCK, BLACK-HEADED GULL, RED-HEADED
WOODPECKER and more.
Of the standout passerines present locally the VARIED THRUSH was reported
as recently as yesterday in Brooklyn's Prospect Park occurring in the
Nethermead often on the hillsides near the arches. The PAINTED BUNTING at
Brooklyn Bridge Park was last Sunday seen ranging from Pier 5 over to Pier
3 and the Greenway Terrace and later back to Pier 5. One assumes the
possibility of two different individuals has been addressed.
Out in the East Hampton area the TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE was still present in
Northwest Harbor along Three Mile Harbor Drive near number 56 and the small
park designated by a sign bearing the initials SLPOA. This bird does call
occasionally.
Out at Montauk Point last Monday a birder watching the THICK-BILLED MURRE
on the ocean by the lighthouse was also treated to a BLACK GUILLEMOT
landing off the restaurant and remaining visible for a short while. Neither
the MURRE nor the GUILLEMOT have been reported since Monday but could still
be around. A RED-NECKED GREBE was off the point Saturday. The western Long
Island BARNACLE GOOSE was seen on Belmont Lake State Park last Saturday
afternoon and again on Sunday therefore continuing in that area. The
GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE in the Rye area was still present today on the
Rye Brook Pond off Bowman Avenue. A few CACKLING GEESE include one found
Sunday at Frank Melville Memorial Park and Mill Pond in Setauket north of
Old Field Road.
A drake EURASIAN WIGEON was seen Sunday at West Neck Beach in Lloyd Harbor.
A drake BARROW'S GOLDENEYE was still around the south end of Lake Montauk
last Sunday seen from West Lake Drive but also try South Lake Drive to
locate the GOLDENEYE flock. Also on Montauk a drake KING EIDER was seen
again from Culloden Point last Sunday while single females, also continuing
birds, were present with Common Eiders Saturday at Shinnecock Inlet and to
Monday at Orient Point where 4 HARLEQUIN DUCKS also remain. The immature
male HARLEQUIN DUCK was still present today in Brooklyn's Sheepshead Bay
where both the adult BLACK-HEADED GULL and an immature ICELAND GULL visited
last Sunday. LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS were noted in Brooklyn during the
week at Coney Island Beach and Floyd Bennett Field and a few RAZORBILLS
remain along the shore including 2 Monday well inside Jones Inlet at the
fishing piers and another Sunday at Canarsie Pier.
AMERICAN BITTERNS continue along Dune Road and a COMMON GALLINULE was still
on the Mill Pond in Bellmore Wednesday. A ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK remained in the
area of Cedar Beach along Ocean Parkway through last weekend and another
was spotted at Orient Point Sunday. A RED-HEADED WOODPECKER has continued
into this week at the north end of Central Park while EASTERN PHOEBES were
noted at at least 6 different locations. An ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER was
visiting the suet feeder at the South Fork Natural History Museum in
Bridgehampton at least to Wednesday.
