Probably nothing special but a first for me.  A pair of Sandhill cranes are 
being seen now at the LaRue lagoon on the east side of the wildlife drive.

[nysbirds-l] Sterling Forest Woodcock, Whip-poor-wills, and more

2024-05-15 Thread Andrew Block
While herping this evening the woodcock was back at his usual courting place 
next to the upper parking lot at the visitor center.  He made some sounds I had 
not heard them make before.  A very accomidating bird.  Also had a first for me 
there, at least three Whip-poor-wills calling just after dark.  Didn't know 
they were nesting there.  Suppose they might have been passing through, but 
they seemed to be on territory.  Nice.  Also had two species of a family of 
birds we're not allowed ot mention here.  Contact me if you anyone wants to 
know what they were;-)

[nysbirds-l] Mine Road is open

To anyone who cares, I just found out Mine Road at West Point has reopened.  
Don't know when, but it's open now.  I hope this is a recent opening and I 
haven't been missing several years of going there.  I missed going to that 
place for so long.  Such a great area.

[nysbirds-l] Riverhead Lazuli Bunting

2024-04-22 Thread Andrew Block
The adult male Lazuli Bunting being seen at 27 Royal Ave in Riverhead, NY, was 
still there as of about 1230pm.  It appeared for about three minutes before 
being scared off by the cars and loud truck going by and flying around to the 
back of the home.  It evidentily comes about every hour or so from behind the 
left side of the home and then into the crapemyrtle on the left side of the 
home to the feeder next to it.  Also seen was a female Rose-breasted Grosbeak.  
What a gorgeous bird.  Shame it didn't stay longer.

[nysbirds-l] Ring-necked Ducks everywhere

2024-03-08 Thread Andrew Block
Today while driving along the New Croton Reservoir I saw a huge flock of 
Ring-necked Ducks.  The location was in the cove south of the intersection of 
Croton Ave. and Baptist Church Rd.   There must have been well over 5 or 600, 
probably many more.  I've never seen such a huge flock.  Very cool.  There were 
also a few Common Mergansers, two American Wigeons, and 7 Greater Scaup.

[nysbirds-l] Black Vulture behavior

Saw interesting Black Vulture behavior just now.  Four were sitting on the 
chimneys of a house across from mine warming up in this cold.  I had never seen 
animals of any kind doing this.  Just shows how smart they are.  They were only 
on ones with smoke coming out.  Cool stuff.

[nysbirds-l] Mt. Vernon Ash-throated Flycatcher no

2023-12-31 Thread Andrew Block
Forgot to mention yesterday that after finding the Townsend's Warbler and 
seeing the MacGillivray's Warbler a little later we headed over to look for the 
Ash-throated Flycatcher that has been in Mt. Vernon for awhile.  Even though a 
few people had looked that day and had nothing we took a look and as the others 
found nobody was home.  It may be still in the area, but it wasn't seen 
yesterday as far as I know.

[nysbirds-l] Bronx Townsend's Warbler possible hybrid

2023-12-30 Thread Andrew Block
After looking at my poor photos of the Townsend's Warbler I posted earlier on 
here, it looks like it may be a hybrid.  I just assumed it was a 
Townsend's/Hermit hybrid, but someone on iNaturalist suggested it looked more 
like a Black-throated Green Warbler/Townsend's hybrid since it had a white 
throat and very little yellow in the breast.  I thought some Townsend's/Hermit 
hybrids had white on the throat, but I don't know.  It also doesn't have yellow 
on the vent area which from what I read all Black-thoated Greens have.  Either 
way it looks mostly like a Townsend's:-)

I don't know if this went through earlier today.  The previously reported 
female MacGillivray's Warbler that was found behind 720 W. 231st St. in the 
Bronx was still there early this afternoon and was being seen when I left 
around 230pm.  Parking is best on 231st. St. and walking up the drive way that 
leads to the back of the nursing home from 231st.  Great bird.  Finally got one

place is always so good for woodpeckers.  Had four species today and have seen 
all the species you can get at the park there.

I have not seen it posted here, but the Hammond's Flycatcher first seen at 
Rockland Lake S.P. just north of Nyack a few days ago was still at the parking 
lot 6 area as of yesterday morning.  I was told by a friend it had been seen 
there again.

[nysbirds-l] very late nesting goldfinches

2023-09-26 Thread Andrew Block
In case anyone needed American Goldfinch as a confirmed breeder in southern 
Westchester Co. for the atlas, I have a pair with fairly large young nesting at 
my father's place in Bronxville.  Never had them nesting anywhere this late.  
Was surprised to see them.  Pretty cool.

 Hello all,

Haven’t seen this posted here yet - Matthew Voelker found and photographed a 
flock of at least 22 ANHINGAS this evening on the canal along Muck Rd in Rome, 
NY (Oneida County). The 22 he reported are still present in the fading light 
roosting in the trees across the canal, but further searching and careful 
counting could easily turn the count higher. 

The exact location is ~1500ft east of the fishing dock at the end of S Madison 
St, approximately here (43.2025474, -75.4708929). 

Good birding!

[nysbirds-l] Monks at Trinity School and others

2023-04-02 Thread Andrew Block
While out shopping we stopped by for a short visit to the Monk Parakeet colony 
at Trinity School on Church St. in New Rochelle.  There are nests in all the 
light fictures but only had birds in three of them with a  total of about 4 
visible.  Also had an American Kestrel and an Osprey on top of the nests.  I 
see the kestrel there regularly so must nest nearby and the osprey was on it's 
nest on top of the parakeets.  While by my car after viewing them four came 
down close and low in the trees to say good by to us.  Of course no camera:-)

[nysbirds-l] woodcock on Park Ave. and 53rd. st., Manhattan

2023-03-17 Thread Andrew Block
Saw a dazed but alive Woodcock plop down in front of a building on the 
northeast corner of Park Ave. and 53rd. st. this early afternoon.  Poor thing 
was stunned after hitting the building I guess and then plopped down on the 
sidewalk across the street in front of us.   Before I could get to it it 
fluttered up about 50 feet or so and over Park going west, circled around and 
flew back down 53rd. going east, curved south on Park and landed about 40 feet 
up on the side of a building on Park.  Couldn't stay to see where it went after 
that, but hope it made it to Central Park at least:-(  Never seen one stranded 
like that in the city.  Poor thing.

[nysbirds-l] parking for the Bush Terminal Park?

2023-02-28 Thread Andrew Block
I was thinking of heading down to look for the Western Meadowlark at Bush 
Terminal Park but not sure where to park.  I see on google there is a small 
parking lot at the western end of 43rd off of 1st at the entrance to the park.  
The road curves around the back of the buildings.  Is this where you park?  It 
looks as those there is a fee booth as you turn off 1st.  Is that true?  Any 
help is appreciated.

[nysbirds-l] passing of John S. Moyle

2023-02-20 Thread Andrew Block
Just wanted to post that my mentor and best friend Dr. John S. Moyle, formally 
of Scarsdale, died on February 7 at the age of 84 in Kingsport, TN.  He was 
known to many in southern NYS through the birding circles and parcticipated in 
the Bronx Westchester Xmas Counts for many years.  We had many good times 
together travelling to see birds and other wildlife locally and around the 
world.  He will be missed dearly.
I have a link to his obit if anyone is interested.  Please let me know if you 
are.

[nysbirds-l] escaped Eurasian Eagle-Owl still in Central Park

2023-02-13 Thread Andrew Block
Just heard the escaped Eurasian Eagle-Owl is still in Central Park and is 
eating on it's own.  Don't know why there was ever a question about if it would 
do that,  but what the hey.  I know it's an escape but still a wonderful bird 
to see.  I wonder what will happen when the Great Horneds in the park discover 
it.  Trouble in paradise.  Also, heard they have given up trying to capture it.

[nysbirds-l] Eagle at Hmart in WhitePLains!

2023-01-28 Thread Andrew Block
I was driving down Central Ave. in White Plains about an hour ago passing Hmart 
when I was quite surprised to see a juvenile Bald Eagle flying in circles about 
100 feet or so above the road.  It was being semi-harassed by a bunch of crows. 
 It was also seen around 10am this morning by my father in the same place.  I 
also had what was probably the same bird on California Rd. at the intersection 
with Bevan Pl. next to Twin Lakes in Eastchester yesterday sitting in a tree 
waiting to come down to a dead rabbit in the road.  In 50 years living in the 
area I have never seen an eagle in either area and certainly not so close.  
Obviously they are not as scared of people as they used to be.  Pretty neat.

[nysbirds-l] White-winged Juncos

2023-01-04 Thread Andrew Block
Hi all,
Does anyone know how common Slate-colored Juncos with white wing bars are?  
Over the years I've seen a few in NY that have them but otherwise look like 
Slate-coloreds.  Today I had another I observered for awhile at Ward Acres Park 
in New Rochelle that sure looked good for White-winged Juco, but I always have 
Slate-coloreds with wing bars in the back of my mind.  Any ideas?

[nysbirds-l] Shirley Chisholm S.P. question

2022-12-01 Thread Andrew Block
Hi all,
I see that the Penn and Fountain Ave. landfills have been made into the Shirley 
Chisholm S.P.  Glad they finally opened it up to the public.  I worked there 
for a year in '06 and '07 while it was still being capped and was wondering if 
anyone knows who I can contact to see if they are interested in a list of 
birds/wildlife seen there for that period.  I have a large list with some 
goodies on it.
Thanks,

2022-09-16 Thread Andrew Block
There is currently an adult snow goose with Canada geese on left side of road 
after you pass pay booth.  Also, no sign of the yellow-headed blackbirds 
reported yesterday on the new York  rare bird alert fb group along the left 
side of the landfill.

[nysbirds-l] Clements checklist updates?

2022-08-07 Thread Andrew Block
Hi all,
I was trying to find the Clements Checklist updates for 2021 and wasn't able 
to.  Usually there's a place to click and get the updates on the Cornell site 
but now all there is is just a place to get the whole list which I don't want.  
Anytime I found a place that I could click on that said August 2021 updates it 
would send me to the whole list or something else.  Anyone know what happened 
to the updates?  That was very usefull for updating my book.  A shame if they 
got rid of them.

[nysbirds-l] precise directions to Anhinga in Orangeburgh, NY

2022-07-21 Thread Andrew Block
I don't know if the Anhinga is still there but as seen on my previous original 
posts I had it where Tim had it earlier today on the south part of the 
reservoir between Convent Rd. and Veterans Memorial Dr. and east of Blue Hill 
Rd.  I saw it from the fishing parking lot on the north shore of the lake on 
Convent.  Now that I'm home I can give detailed directions.  To get there take 
Town line Rd. from the Palisades Parkway east to Sickletown Rd. then south to 
where Sickletown turns left and Blauvelt goes strait.  Sickletown then curves 
left and becomes Convent soon after passing Blue Hill Rd. on the right.  Once 
on Convent you will see the lake on the right and the fishing lot on the left.  
Park in the lot and look at the far south side scanning all the dead trees 
there.  The female was sitting about halfway up in a dead tree the whole time I 
was there.  Good luck and thanks for all who posted and special thanks to the 
original finder.  Finally got my Neotropic Cormorant and Anhinga for NY.  Yeah.

[nysbirds-l] Extralimital Curlew Sandpiper male in Stratford, CT

2022-07-18 Thread Andrew Block
Just posting for anyone who wants to see a gorgeous sandpiper at Short Beach 
Golf Course on Short Beach Rd. in Stratford, CT.  A gorgeous male Curlew 
Sandpiper is in the little cattail pond as seen from Short Beach Rd.  The pond 
is on the left after turning right onto Short Beach Rd. from Dorne Dr. off Rte. 
113.  Can't park on that road but the side roads are parkable.  A beautiful 
bird, my second and first breeding plumage one.

[nysbirds-l] vulture nest nomore

2022-07-11 Thread Andrew Block
Well, just saw today that the confirmed black vulture nest in Scarsdale is no 
more.  They started tearing the home down today.  Only seen the adults 
receently so think the chick didn't make it.  Seems a little early for 
fledging.  Maybe not but you'd think it would be with the adults still if it 
had fledged in the last few weeks.  Of course DEC was useless, totally blew me 
off when I reported it back in early June.  A shame they don't care more.  Not 
surprised though.  I hope the adults find a new place next year.  It was fun 
while they were there.

[nysbirds-l] confirmed for sure Black Vulture nesting

2022-05-26 Thread Andrew Block
Just wanted to update that the Black Vultures in the abandoned home on Seely 
Place in Scarsdale do indeed have at least one chick.  I was informed by the 
tree crew cutting down trees on around the house that their boss photographed 
at least one chick.  I was inquiring what they were doing and was told the new 
owners of the property are going to tear down the house in a few days and 
needed the trees cleared out around it:-(  They told me that the boss was going 
to contact someone about the chicks, but they didn't say who.  So I took it 
upon myself to contact DEC and let them know what was going on.  Of course I 
was told they can do what they want around the house but if the home is being 
torn down then maybe the DEC will come out and get the chicks.  The officer 
said he'd have to check into it:-(  You'd think they'd know right away what to 
do.  At least he was nice and seemed to take me seriously:-)  He said he'd call 
me back if he needed to.  I will call back to find out what happened after the 
holiday.
