The Roseate Spoonbill has been reported in the same location this morning in 
eBird. Before driving upstate from NYC, I would appreciate confirmation of this 
sighting today (7-24). Thanks in advance,

Re: [nysbirds-l] Sunflower Valley Farm and Liberty Lane in Pine Island, NY are closed to birders.

[Felipe Pimentel]

Hi Joshua,

You can try Skinner  lane (sod farms) for migrating shorebirds in September. 
The area that has been closed to birders in the one between R12 and the bridge 
that cross the river. There are other “private roads” in the area of Pine 
Island and Florida where birding is “tolerated” but don’t drive into the fields 
where you find people working the agricultural fields.

Good luck,

Felipe

Re: [nysbirds-l] Sterling Forest, Tuesday

There are one or two Brewster’s warblers in Ironwood (Sterling Forest) during 
the past two weeks. The number of Golden-winged warblers have been low but they 
will show up in the next week or so.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Lined Seedeater, Queens

[Felipe Pimentel]

Prof. Mitra,

We had a Pin-tailed Whydah today in Central Park (Compost area, around 106 
Street). I don’t think it is a “vagrant” (there are small colonies of these 
birds in California and Florida) but probably an escapee. We did not see any 
band or tag in the legs of the bird.

I did report the bird in my e-Bird report for Central Park (today).

I had only heard via word of mouth about the sighting on 7 Sep and then seen 
the photo from a few days ago.

The lack of excitement makes sense in retrospect, given that some of the people 
in the know were aware of the band.

The rest of us had to wonder whether anybody had done due diligence (as turned 
out to be true) or whether it was another case of not very well informed 
indifference toward a species with genuine potential for vagrancy. To me this 
highlights the importance of the listserv for cases like this that require 
analysis and explanation.

I'm gonna let it hang out there on the Hot 100 for a while, as my latest 
lifebird on eBird, to amuse the guilty and punish the innocent!

Hello Bob,
Just of note these birds are widely available for purchase online and maybe 
even in local pet stores. I think many feel that it was probably an escapee 
rather than the more unlikely scenario of a vagrant, but who knows?

We birders are good at distinguishing between the improbable (e.g., seeing a 
Lined Seedeater in New York) and the imponderable (e.g., deliberately driving 
the Belt Parkway on a morning when one had been granted a reprieve from doing 
so). With a chance at the former as an inducement for the enduring the latter, 
I visited the Charles Memorial Park this morning, on the north shore of Jamaica 
Bay, directly north of the parking area where we stage for visits to the north 
end of the East Pond.

The male Lined Seedeater was skulky but still present, continuing from at least 
7 Sep:

https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S60461352

I'm not sure why this bird has not garnered more attention within the birding 
community. Lined Seedeater is a trans-equatorial austral migrant and a 
plausible candidate for natural vagrancy to North America. There is a specimen 
from the Isles of Shoals, New Hampshire, from 8 August 1935 (MCZ), and records 
of vagrants north of the regular northern South American austral winter (our 
summer) range from Costa Rica, and from Guadeloupe--the latter from 6-7 Sep 
2017, perhaps not coincidentally almost exactly the date the present bird was 
found this year.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Birding the Black Dirt Region, Orange County

[Felipe Pimentel]

There a several private roads but you can enter through Skinner’s lane and 
drive in the direction of Route 12 and look around for migrating shorebirds 
(now in early fall). You will pass several sad farms and now there a few 
“protected” medical cannabis farms too, and  the area is under surveillance.

https://ebird.org/hotspots?hs=L1276465=all=

The other road that is private but birders use is Indiana rd that is good for 
migrating hawks in Fall.

https://ebird.org/hotspot/L1041928

Avoid to enter the crop fields when you see workers and stay on the main dirt 
roads.

The other place to go is Pine Island Turf Nursery. I suggest NOT to visit that 
farm during the week since they are working and preparing the fields for 
winter. I generally go there ONLY during the weekends, when the place is more 
quiet.

Good luck!

The maps are wrong in that there is no connection between Iris and Transport at

Re: [nysbirds-l] Orange County birding RFI

[Felipe Pimentel]

Hi Robert,

This is my e-bird report from yesterday. The place is called “Pine Island Turf 
Nursery and it is a commercial sod farm (and other crops too). Generally, they 
leave birders enter the farm during the weekends and when they are not actively 
working on the fields. If they have the “were are open” sign on display, please 
go into the office and ask for permission to enter the farm. The Sandhill 
cranes come to this site very often (they fly from the Wallkill River Wildlife 
Refuge to this place that is about one or 2 miles away from the refuge). 
Yesterday, in addition to the SandHill cranes, I saw two American Golden 
Plovers too.

https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S59622495

All the sod farms and agricultural fields in Pine Island are good places to 
find shorebirds during the fall migration. You have Skinner’s lane (e-bird 
hotspot) and you have the sod farms near Route 12. You can also contact active 
birders who are members of the Mearns Bird Club.

http://mearnsbirdclub.org/

https://ebird.org/hotspot/L682671

Black-bellied and American Golden Plovers have been seen often during the fall 
migration (generally, early in the morning). There a couple of reports from the 
last 2 weeks or so.

Check the e-bird reports for Orange County, NY.

[nysbirds-l] Pacific Loon: Any updates today?

[Felipe Pimentel]

I have been checking several e-bird hotspots around Oyster Bay and I have not 
read any postings about sithings of the Pacific Loon today. Any updates about 
the Loon today?

Thanks,

FP

Hello Mr Felipe,

What if someone just caught the bird and put it in a cage for you?  Would that 
be acceptable enough for you?  hehehe

Re: [nysbirds-l] Bryant Park (Manhattan) SORA continues

We saw the bird late this afternoon (around 4:30-5PM)  and around 6:30pm it 
went into a pine tree (next to the area where it was hiding) probably for night 
roosting.

Re: [nysbirds-l] OCWA or MGWA

[Felipe Pimentel]

I am not an ornithologist but I do have a question. The bird that was found by 
Cesar Castillo, can it be a hybrid of a Nashville Warbler and Orange-crowned 
Warbler? In the academic literature I have read about that weird hybridization 
of these two species and the marked white eye rings of this bird could be a 
trait inherited from the white eyering of the Nashville. I am bringing this 
question up since most comments indicate that this alleged Orange-crowned 
Warbler (ORW) does have unique characteristics not seen in other ORWs.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Hammond's NO :(

[Felipe Pimentel]

The bird has been found at the Ramble. I don’t know the specific name of the 
place, near the old small bridge.

I and a small group of birders, mostly out-of-towners have spent the morning 
combing the Ramble. I searched from the slope above the Boathouse garbage 
containers (where the Pac-slope spent time, TWO years ago) and over to the 
Upper Lobe.

It may have expanded its range and wandered off to a different patch of the 
park, or we we just unlucky and it's still in the Ramble.

Good luck if you go out and search.

Re: [nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Least Bitterns- extralimital

[Felipe Pimentel]

You can consult the database at ebird for Dekorte Park. The last report of 
Least Bitterns was August 10.  Anyway, early in the morning or late in the 
afternoon is the best time to find Least Bitterns in that location.

Good luck,

FP

Re: [nysbirds-l] Nickerson Beach ARCTIC TERN, no

[Felipe Pimentel]

I got a picture of the bird (posted today in New York Birders-Facebook) and the 
identification of the Roseate was confirmed. I did not find for the Arctic tern 
either but terns don’t stay on the dunes or the shore. The Black tern went out 
to sea around 4:30pm (I guess to fish) and returned around 6:30PM. There were a 
significant number of birders (and bird photographers) at that time looking for 
the uncommon terns.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Terns at Nickerson Beach

[Felipe Pimentel]

You can go after 5PM and at that time they don’t charge parking fees. I was 
there yesterday around 5PM and it was pretty windy and most of the terns were 
concentrated on the left side of the beach. You should park near the building 
were the bathrooms are, you walk towards the beach and turn left and you will 
find the terns (by the hundreds) sitting on the sand, flying around or feeding 
(fishing) in on the shore. Yesterday, there was a Black tern and several other 
species other than the Common terns that are nesting on the dunes.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Sterling Forest, Ironwood Drive powerline

[Felipe Pimentel]

This is the second year that this happens in Sterling Forest. Last year, they 
did replace the cables in the powerline towers from Ringwood (NJ) to Warwick 
(NY) and it was done in late spring, early summer during the nesting season. 
This year they have been working in the same areas (cleaning the dirt roads for 
the jeeps and maintenance vehicles). I was there yesterday and they were doing 
the same thing that Dawn has described. I was told that they would be working 
in the area for the rest of the week.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Sterling Forest, Ironwood Drive powerline

[Felipe Pimentel]

This is the second year that this happens in Sterling Forest. Last year, they 
did replace the cables in the powerline towers from Ringwood (NJ) to Warwick 
(NY) and it was done in late spring, early summer during the nesting season. 
This year they have been working in the same areas (cleaning the dirt roads for 
the jeeps and maintenance vehicles). I was there yesterday and they were doing 
the same thing that Dawn has described. I was told that they would be working 
in the area for the rest of the week.

 Together with Adele Gotlib, I spent the day walking the power line cut and 
 the Sterling Valley trail at Sterling Forest today. We were disturbed to see 
 that crews with chainsaws were hard at work along the north right-of-way, 
 usually the more productive direction for Golden-winged Warblers. I 
 understand that the right-of-way needs to be maintained, but the timing seems 
 less than ideal for the warblers.
 Since the noise was disruptive, we walked south, and saw only one Blue-winged 
 and 2 Golden-winged Warblers. We did see Prairie, Indigo Bunting, Field  and 
 Chipping Sparrows, Great-crested Flycatcher and Yellow-throated Vireos, and a 
 pair of Broad-winged Hawks along the power line.
 We then turned southwest to follow the Sterling Valley trail to the lake. The 
 birding was tough and bugs abundant, but we saw Worm-eating, Cerulean, 
 Black-and-white, Ovenbird, Black-throated Green and Yellow Warblers, and an 
 abundance of Scarlet Tanagers. Wood Ducks were on the pond, and there was a 
 pair of Kingbirds at the lake.
 I won't list all the birds here, but we concluded with an Eagle flying over. 
 Bald is the expected species. but the bird was completely silhouetted and any 
 markings were obscured. It definitely had no white at all on the head and 
 tail, but it was impossible to see the mottling, if any, on the body.
 Still, an exciting conclusion to a good day!

 We just found a prothonotary warbler on the east side of duck island in 
 Brooklyn's prospect Park on the BBC spring migration walk. This is the 
 south east corner of prospect lake near the lefrak skating rink.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Caracara's left eye

[Felipe Pimentel]

I have uploaded two pictures of the Crested Caracara to my Flickr page. You can 
see the differences between the right and the left (damaged) eye.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Caracara's left eye

[Felipe Pimentel]

I have uploaded two pictures of the Crested Caracara to my Flickr page. You can 
see the differences between the right and the left (damaged) eye.

 can be reached through it.  Googling his name will get you there.

 Interesting that it's the left eye. It could be a factor in explaining why 
 this bird is so far from home, although perception of magnetic polarity in

Re: [nysbirds-l] Plum Beach Northern Wheatear

[Felipe Pimentel]

Hi Ardith,

I arrived around 2:15pm to Plum Beach after spending all the morning looking 
for the Say’s Phoebe that was not seen during that time (10AM-1:30PM). There 
were some birders around who said that the N. Wheatear had been perching on the 
wooden structure and on a nearby trunk for 30 minutes or so. After that the 
bird was seen flying once (around 3:30PM) but it was not located in any of the 
places where it had been seen perching before (including the graffiti boat). We 
left at 6PM without seeing the bird again.

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Mine Torn Road Closing

[Felipe Pimentel]

It will be closed to the general public but you can get access if you request a 
permit as stated in the original email. The Mearns birding club (Orange County) 
has requested a permit and they have been granted one. It is quite restricted 
since you have to be very specific about the time and dates that want to access 
but that would be the only way to enter that area.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Roaming Orange County

[Felipe Pimentel]

Today, I went to Mission land Road looking for the Snowy Owl but it was not 
there. On the hand, we had two Snowy Owls in the same area. One was perching 
near the entrance to Warren Sod Farm (Route 12, Orange County) the other was in 
the area of Skinner Lane (Pine Island). In addition to the owls we saw several 
species of Haws (Northern Harrier , Red Tailed and Rough-legged Hawk).

[nysbirds-l] Tufted Duck: Has it been seen today after 8 am?

It seems that the Tufted Duck was seen today very early in the morning 
(7:45AM). Have anyone seen the duck later during the day? Thanks for any update,

[nysbirds-l] Randall's Island Sparrows (yes, they are still there)

[Felipe Pimentel]

A group of bidders (and a couple of photographers) saw the Nelson's Sparrows 
this afternoon (after 3PM, like other days). We counted at least three of them 
that were pretty active between 4:30 and 6:00 PM (high tide) in the same area 
near the rocks where they had been seen before. There were also Pine Siskins 
and other finches around (and a big yellow cat trying to hunt birds). 

This is a picture of one of the birds.

 the vicinity of the sparrows, and I had to stand several feet away from him 
 to see the birds. The sparrows can be seen from the main path that encircles

 The man didn't say anything to me, and seemed quite content with his beer, 
 although people going to see the sparrow may want to go with a friend or two. 
 I often go out to Randall's Island to bird -- where I have seen several 
 ring-necked pheasants in the past -- and on the whole, I believe it is a safe 
 place to bird, but better safe than sorry.

[nysbirds-l] Long-eared Owl and surviving Mourning Warbler

[Felipe Pimentel]

There was a Long-eared Owl in the park today. Following the rules of this list, 
I cannot disclose the specific location. There were many birders enjoying the 
bird and we had pretty good views of the bird. This is shot of the owl with its 
eyes wide open.

The Mourning warbler was still moving around the same area of Tupelo meadow 
this morning and until early afternoon when I left that area. The bird was 
attacked by a Hawk last evening (Henri and Martin and someone else witnessed 
the entire episode) and it was able to escape this time. The bird has only one 
leg and it has been moving erratically, flying low and showing some indications 
that it is not in its best condition.  Notice in the following photo that it is 
missing a leg.

[nysbirds-l] Crested Caracara is still in NJ

[Felipe Pimentel]

Yesterday (Monday, 9-10) I drove down to West Windsor (NJ) to see and take 
pictures of the Crested Caracara.
 I was there between 11:30AM and 4:30PM and the bird was quite active, feeding 
in the fields and sometimes being harassed by a couple of Kestrels and in one 
occasion by a Merlin falcon. 
 While the bird spent most of the time on the ground, sometimes it came to 
perch on one of the poles that are located at the entrance of what is called 
the Grover farmhouse. The entrance is located in front of Millbrook Drive & 
Village Road E. (West Windsor).  If you use a GPS device, these are the 
coordinates: 40.275979, -74.602455
 According to reports posted today in NJ birds (http://birding.aba.org), the 
Caracara was still in the same location today and it may be there tomorrow. 
The weather has been great and the driving from the Holland Tunnel in NYC to 
West Windsor is about one hour and a half (90 minutes).
 It is a magnificent bird and this is a picture taken from the road with a long 
lens.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Mississippi kite- yes

[Felipe Pimentel]

Yesterday (Th. 5-31-12), the male did show up in the morning and in the 
afternoon. Apparently, the female has not been seen in the past couple of days 
and people suspect that she may be in the nest. BTW, the best time to see the 
bird (based on the behavior of the male Kite) is early in the morning (7-9AM) 
and late in the afternoon (5-6PM).

[nysbirds-l] Info about the Mississipi Kites

[Felipe Pimentel]

I just read this posting in NJ birding at  Birdingonthe.Net. It seems that the 
area where the Kites are building their nest will have some restrictions 
regarding access and birders interested in going there to see the birds should 
be aware of the situation.

 Thanks to Larry, I was able to enjoy watching the male Kite building the nest 
 this morning. The Kite also perched very close on a dead tree allowing 
 amazingly close views. A park ranger has set up barriers. It has been 
 requested 
 that folks coming to see the Kites give them their space. The parking area is 
 no more then fifty feet from the nest and therefore, the lot may soon be 
 closed.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Mississippi Kites mating

[Felipe Pimentel]

I arrived in Sterling Forest this morning about 9AM, after reading an early 
posting by Karen Fung about the Mississippi Kite(s). Karen was still there and 
the Kite had been around for a while but at that time it was gone. I spent the 
entire day over there and I saw many birds (Indigo, Golden Winged, Hooded, 
Yellow and several other warblers). Around 3:30-4:00 PM the two Kites started 
to show up often and they perched on the top of a big dead tree that they like. 
They mated and they are building a nest in the area. I got a picture of the 
couple while they were mating. It was a great view!

This is the link to a picture of the birds mating:

Good luck if you go during the week!
