Re: [nysbirds-l] Sage Thrasher YES
The Sage Thrasher continued at least until noon. It moved more toward the North Garden on the upper grassy paths parallel to the bike path. The bird can be quite confiding but also needs it’s space. Any grassy path appears to be a possibilityif you can not locate it. Good luck!

RE: [nysbirds-l] Knee jerk reaction to 2 guys that just didn't get it
I too agree with Cindy's summation. The birding community as a whole should not turn into insular cliques that make it easy not to report when you know you will hear about the bird anyway. Do we want this board to only report Herring Gull's except of course when a Ross' Gull shows up! That would need to be kept secret.

I remember one time there was a fantastic photo op for one particular owl at Jones Beach a few years ago I even took one of my kids out of school so he could see this beautiful bird. (there were actually TWO owls at the beach that day! We saw both of them!). The first, "poster bird" was sitting on a dune, with at least a half dozen photographers snapping away at a distance of about 15 feet. Maybe not even that. Unbelievable but true. The second bird was more skittish and was sitting by itself, closer to the beach. However, as my son and I were watching it, a jogger running along the beach passed it too closely (not seeing the bird) and the owl flushed, flying overhead and away. You just can't win! I disagree, however, that owls should not be mentioned on these birding listservs. I would think that's just the beginning of a slippery slopefirst owls are kept secret, then perhaps a first-of-state nesting, or other rare bird who's to say an inconsiderate photographer, or birder (yes, those exist as well, I had the experience of one in my own back yard!), will get close enough to ANY noteworthy bird to shoo it off and ruin the experience for everyone else (not to mention stressing the bird!)? Keeping sightings limited to "word of mouth" severely restricts who sees what, turning birding (or the viewing of certain species) into a private club of sorts - with only the elite "inner circle" allowed to participate. I for one don't go birding regularly in winter, preferring to just go out for rarities, and am not in anyone's cell phone contact list. I usually don't like birding in a crowd. I know a few "key" people but nobody really well. Word of mouth wouldn't work for me and wouldn't work for many other respectable, but more casual birders who might come from out of the area just to see an owl, or any other noteworthy bird. There's no way to completely eliminate the problem. There will be clueless joggers, dogs and their owners, and kids flushing the birds in addition to the photographers and selfish birders who show up. You can't put a fence around these birds. I believe that by posting photos or names (or even license plates) of the perpetrators, they will eventually learn that it's not worth their while to do what they're doing.

Thus I would tend to agree with Scott's perception of this species as a very late spring migrant--much later than Least, and similar in overall timing to Willow and Alder. It should be noted that Least and Willow breed in southern NYS, and in large numbers at much more southerly latitudes, so it is not terribly surprising to see a few of these species here toward the early end of their respective passage distributions: e.g., a Least Flycatcher or two at the end of April, vs. the median date of 12 May for migrant Leasts at Fire Island; or an early Willow setting up territory around 10 May, vs. the median date of 1 June for migrant Willow/Alders at Fire Island. Yellow-bellied does not breed anywhere south of NYS (maybe a few in the Poconos), thus I would tend to think that the dates of territory occupancy in northern New York would follow closely upon the dates of migratory arrival in the New York City area.

This is not the first Yellow-bellied Flycatcher I have seen heard singing .or calling in New York City in the beginning stages of the spring push of neotropical-wintering migrants 9as opposed to shorter-distance migrant species that may primarily overwinter in the southern U.S. or nearby, such as Pine Warbler any number of others that appear as early as March in our area almost each spring - I do not agree that Yellow-bellied is among the last and while I respect the writing of John M.C. Peterson as regards breeding information for New York, I do not think it reflects accurately on the status of migrants in the southern section of the state, with regards to this species of Empidonax. It would be interesting to read and hear from any others who have looked as well as listened carefully to the Empidonax group here in NY and nearby states.

[nysbirds-l] Hermit Warbler food
As mentioned earlier, the Hermit Warbler was quite obliging today. I did overhear many people asking what is the bird eating? I couldn't tell you what type of insect the Hermit was eating but it definitely was finding food.

[nysbirds-l] Varied Thrush Central Park
Hi, The Varied Thrush continued in Central park this morning in the maintenance field. The maintenance field is most easily accessed by entering CP at 79th and 5th ave, walk west up the hill cross then road and you are in the maintenance field. The bird was being pushed around by alot of people(birders) moving and running after it. I have the advantage of a very long camera lens.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler-my experience
To clarify, I don't think the bird should be rehabbed. The whole discussion is rather foolish to begin with. The bird will continue to be fed by hundreds of people and will either continue to live or will die from one of many possible dangers. > Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 18:18:12 -0400 > From: ard...@earthlink.net > CC: nysbirds-l@cornell.edu > Subject: Re: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler-my experience > > Both times I viewed and then photographed the bird, the only ones > feeding it were neither birders nor bird - photographers. > > This bird seems to be managing fine in his unexpected habitat, and who's > to say that human intervention in his case wouldn't do more harm than > good.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler-my experience
The bird is staying around(possibly 3-4 weeks) because people are feeding it. This bird is not acting like a wild bird anymore, more like a house sparrow. The two days I went, random non-birders were feeding it, bologna , bread etc... They think its a canary. Whether a birder or photographer feeds the PRWA that's a different matter. Ultimately, the long term prognosis for this bird probably is not good unless a rehabber picks it up, feeds it properly and releases it away from one of the busiest spots in NYC.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler NYC Public Library still continues
The Prothonotary Warbler at the NYC Public Library continued to be seen though at least 415 this afternoon. This is an unbelievably cooperative bird. Unfazed by New Yorkers who came within a couple of feet of it ,taking pictures with their camera phones. The bird at least, while Harry Maas and I were watching it, preferred the small grassy patch by 40th and 5th ave. The bird took flight a few times and landed on the famous lions, on tables and chairs and within inches of people who were oblivious to its presence. The left wing appeared to droop so this should be watched.
