County), N.Y. City - Thursday, Oct. 8 - A cold front passed early on the prior night, with a few showers locally, while a stronger rain came thru parts of New England also Wed. night; this front was pushed through all of the region on very gusty NW winds which continued all day. 21 species of American Warblers were found in Central Park alone on Thursday, 10/8, & many or all of those species were also found around all of the county, these included a few species now running a bit ‘late’, although none unprecedentedly so, & in keeping with many warbler spp. still being seen around the area & some quite a bit farther north as well, in recent days. (One species most definitely not seen, & has never been recorded in the 48 contiguous U.S. states, & in the Americas apparently just in the western & central Aleutians and associated far-west areas of the state of Alaska, is the Wood Warbler, a Palearctic (old world) warbler species [Phylloscopus sibilatrix], which is unrelated to the American Warblers, and which is not found breeding in the Americas. One citation & search result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_warbler ) Some other Phylloscopus-genus ‘old-world’ warblers do occur, some being very rare, at least one breeding, (Arctic Warbler) in parts of N. America -particularly Alaska & the west/northwest- but the Wood Warbler has not been seen in eastern North America. Further note on the American warblers moving through, all of the species noted from Manhattan & N.Y. County are also being seen in other N.Y. City counties / locations, some even in fair no’s. (overall) such as Yellow Warbler as one example. Many of these species are simply in slightly greater no’s. for the start of the 2nd week in October, as relative to their average or ‘typical’ peak autumn dates, which for many would be a bit earlier, a few spp. much earlier, such as (for example) Blackburnian, which are scarce now (& neither expected this late, nor at all unprecedented). We also continue to see the long-term effects of (in part) a series of years of strong spruce budworm outbreaks in boreal forests of N. America, much of that in eastern Canada, and that giving rise to increases in well-fed neotropical migrants when on their breeding grounds, including (but hardly limited to) such species as Tennessee, Bay-breasted, & Cape May Warblers, just to single out those in particular. This is an ongoing trend in parts of the great boreal forests, which (potentially) could go on for some years. A Wilson’s Snipe was photographed at the Great Lawn of Central Park, & with multiple observers; however this bird did not stay in place for the day. This cold-front arrival day featured a fairly strong diurnal migration / movement that went on for all of the morning, & to a lesser extent right on to the end of the day. Multiple observers saw PINE SISKIN into double-digit numbers in this park (also in other parks) on the day, including some spending much of the day in same areas; also seen were high no’s. of Purple Finch and there also were good no’s. of American Goldfinch. A Marsh Wren was still lingering at Inwood Hill Park in northern Manhattan. Several Rusty Blackbirds came into Central Park & Riverside Park (north sector), although this species may well have already been present. The multiple E. Meadowlarks seen moving past Manhattan (sadly a rarer sight in the county than had once been) are noted in the individual flight notes below; this species should still be watched-for in coming weeks; can be surprisingly skulking & even in open sports fields & such, can find small bits in which to hide themselves, the more so where taller grasses or shrubs are present. Waterfowl in (all of) Central Park for Thursday included at least 1 Ring-necked Duck

[nysbirds-l] Vote Yes or No
THanks! Kenneth Mc Dermott terrei...@verizon.net Yes or No This vote only requires you to forward it to someone else for it to be counted. YES OR NO As many of you are aware, the Knights of Columbus submitted to congress that the words "Under God" should be added to our pledge of allegiance. Both Houses of Congress passed the law and it was signed by President Eisenhower in 1954. The information below was based on a poll taken by NBC on what percentage should keep the words in our pledge versus the percent who want it removed. If you read this and agree that "under God" should be left in the pledge, then just forward it to others and you have voted for it to be left in. If you delete it and don't forward it you are voting NO to "under God." Easy, huh? "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America , and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Shock to NBC This is not sent for discussion. If you agree, forward it... If you don't, delete it. I don't want to know one way or the other. By my forwarding it, you know how I feel.. 86% to keep God in the Pledge of Allegiance and 14% against.. That is a pretty commanding' public response. I was asked to send this on, if I agreed or delete if I didn't. Now it is your turn. It is said that 86% of Americans believe the word God should stay. Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having God in the Pledge of Allegiance Why should our Nation cater to 14%? If you agree, pass this on. If not, simply delete. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
