2015-10-17 Thread Debbie Becker
The radar from last night was quite accurate as there were many birds at the 
garden especially hawks. But the rarest find was a NELSON's SPARROW in the 
swale closest to the sign that reads "What is a Wetland."  It was hunkered down 
in a bush with other swamp and song sparrows. The orange face was the immediate 
give away and we had brief but rewarding looks. We also had a flock of Brant 
and Canada Geese separately fly over. 
We also saw:
Black vultures-4

Rough legged Hawks-2
Sharp shinned hawk-1
Cooper's hawk-1

Our resident great horned owl had two owlets this year and was faced raising 
them as a single mother. Her mate, Junior, and Rose, the Red tailed hawk, both 
went missing at the same time a few months ago. Perhaps they had a final deadly 
altercation after numerous confrontations. No one knows for sure. It was odd 
that they both vanished in early winter.   But, I am happy to say, the owlets 
have fledged and were observed on today's walk. 

In addition, we have a wood duck who has nested in a tree above the water. 
Quite a sight seeing wood ducks in a tree hole. A regular nesting site for them 
- but may be a first - at the Garden. 

There were 58 birders on my walk today and although we had a large crowd we all 
were treated to great sightings of:

[nysbirds-l] New York City 42nd Street and South

2013-03-21 Thread Debbie Becker
Thanks to Allan's good directions I was able to relocate the American Woodcock, 
in front of the restrooms in an ivy patch, at Bryant Park. The bird is closest 
to the light pole in the middle and best viewed facing east or north. It cannot 
be observed from the front of restroom. Also at Bryant Park, A vocal Kestrel 
and a timid FOS Hermit Thrush.  
I will post pictures of the Woodcock, later today, on my website. 

At 23rd Street and East River; 8 Red breasted Mergansers, 1 Bufflehead, 2 Black 
Ducks, 4 Brant, 2 Canada Geese, 1 Greater Black Backed Gull, 2 DC Cormorant and 
2 Mallards. 

Union Square Park remains quiet with a continuing Swamp Sparrow, White Throated 
Sparrows and 1 Fox Sparrow. 

Good Birding,

Twenty-Seven birders joined the Saturday morning bird walk at NYBG.  Highlights 
include Red winged blackbirds and Rusty blackbirds. 

Red tailed hawk -2
Fox sparrow-3
One Fox Sparrow was singing in the Swale.  
Song sparrow-2
White throated sparrow-3
House sparrow-8
Chickadee-20+
Tufted titmouse-10+
Blue jay-6
Northern Cardinal-4
Northern Mockingbird-1
Mourning Dove-3
Red bellied woodpecker -1
Downy Woodpecker -2
Yellow bellied Sapsucker -2
Mallard-14
Hooded Merganser-2
Canada Geese-2
American Goldfinch-6
Dark eyed Junco-1
Grackle-4
Red winged blackbirds-4
Rusty blackbirds-4

The beavers are working on a rather large tree on the southern most part of the 
Bronx River before it flows into the Bronx Zoo. Quite a sight!  It looks like 
this tree will fall across the river -perhaps creating a dam.

There were 25 bird watchers on the Saturday morning bird walk. We had a very 
productive day and watched some interesting bird behavior. Highlights include: 
GREY CATBIRD, Great Horned Owls, Hooded Mergansers and Winter Wren. 

Red tailed hawks- 4
We observed an immature hawk make a kill, by the Bronx River, swooping low over 
the Mallards -causing quite a flurry- but his ultimate goal was a pigeon, which 
he caught and ate while we watched. 
Cooper's Hawk-1
Sharp Shinned Hawk-1
Great Horned Owls-2
Our GHOs are still courting and we are hopeful they will have a successful nest 
this year.

common sight at the garden.

A misty day at the Saturday morning bird walk. Highlights include Great Horned 
Owls and White Winged Crossbills. The cloudy day forced most the hawks down and 
their presence controlled the ground birds from foraging. Cooper's and Red 
tailed hawks dominated the Garden. A Goshawk, hiding inside an tubular 
evergreen, gave interesting thought as what he was up to.

The Saturday morning bird walk had 21 birders who decided to take the 
Unofficial Semi-Big Year challenge. Using NYBG's free Birding List, of birds 
most commonly found in the northeast, we are counting birds until December 31, 
2013. There is still time to join in the fun and there will be surprises for 
the birder who has the most birds marked off by December. 

Highlights of today's walk; 
White-winged Crossbills in the brilliant sun. What a beautiful sight! The Great 
Horned Owls- still roosting together, a Barred Owl, Gray Catbird and Cedar 
Waxwing.

The Saturday morning bird walk had 21 birders who decided to take the 
Unofficial Semi-Big Year challenge. Using NYBG's free Birding List, of birds 
most commonly found in the northeast, we are counting birds until December 31, 
2013. There is still time to join in the fun and there will be surprises for 
the birder who has the most birds marked off by December. 

Highlights of today's walk; 
White-winged Crossbills in the brilliant sun. What a beautiful sight! The Great 
Horned Owls- still roosting together, a Barred Owl, Gray Catbird and Cedar 
Waxwing. 

Barred Owl -1
Great Horned Owl -2
White Winged Crossbill -4
Cedar Waxwing -1
Grey Catbird -1
House Finch -30+ 
American Goldfinch -10
American Robin -25+
Bluejay -3

A decent flock of  WHITE WINGED CROSSBILLS with at least (2) RED CROSSBILLS 
highlighted the Saturday morning bird walk.

 Twenty-two birders were treated to a high flying flock of CROSSBILLS that kept 
growing and growing as more birds kept joining them. On one tree we spotted: WW 
CROSSBILL (16), RED CROSSBILL (2), Red winged blackbird (3), House finch(20), 
American Goldfinch(10), and Chickadees (30). The CROSSBILLS were primarily 
feeding on Sweet Gum seed balls. 

Also spotted: 
Song sparrow (2)
White throated sparrow  (5)
Swamp sparrow (1)
Hairy woodpecker  (1)
Downy woodpecker  (2)
Red-bellied woodpecker  (2)
Red breasted nuthatch (1)
White breasted nuthatch (1)
Dark eyed juncos (14)
Mourning doves (16)
Tufted titmouse (17)
American Robins (81)
Blue Jays (5)
Cardinals (3)
Mockingbird (1)
Red tailed Hawk (1)
The lakes were bare except for mallards and (4) Hooded mergansers. Of special 
mention is the ever growing BARRED OWL population. NYBG now has 2.  Our 
resident Great Horned Owls continue to be in a courtship phase.

 The group found an immature red tailed hawk sitting in a stream. One talon was 
bloody and mangled. After calling several rehabs we were directed to 311 and 
the NYPD who were going to come capture the hawk and bring him to animal 
control for care. 

The only downer to this beautiful day was the obnoxious audacity of a person 
who continues to ruin birders' days when he plays tape recordings of bird 
songs. Today was our turn to be harassed by this person who was been admonished 
by most Parks people and birding groups. 

Good Respectful Birding,

The Saturday morning walk started with the sighting of a Barred Owl flying out 
of a roost, Blue Jays in hot pursuit. While trying to relocate the owl we were 
alerted to the sounds of Red Crossbills in the pine area near the main entrance 
of the garden. Last week, we spotted White winged Crossbills a bit west of the 
main gate. Today,  we spotted a chattering flock of about 16 male and female 
Red Crossbills feeding on pine cones, in the Japanese Black Pines,by the main 
gate. 
After spending time observing and photographing the Crossbills we decided to 
proceed to the crabapples hoping for Purple  Finches or Pine Siskins.  On the 
way, we spotted the Barred Owl being chased by a Cooper's Hawk. The owl flew 
into the Native Plant Garden where we were able to get splendid looks. We also 
observed Rusty Blackbirds, in the water, moving leaves around looking for food. 
Greg found a Pine Siskin in a Sweet Gum and there were female Purple Finches on 
the crabapples. 
It was a great day of birding at NYBG.

The Great Horned Owls were the highlight of today's Saturday morning bird walk. 
Male & female both visible and hopefully getting ready to mate in a month or 
so. A few Pine Siskins and a mixed flock of Red winged blackbirds; male, female 
and immature males along with Rusty blackbirds were feeding in the Sweet Gum 
trees. 
The hurricane cut quite a path of destruction in the forest and throughout the 
Garden. Many large and very old trees were down.
