[nysbirds-l] Louisiana Waterthrush, Central Park, NYC 4/5 + request for ethical behavior
Tuesday, 5 April, 2016 -
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City
A Louisiana Waterthrush was found & photographed Tuesday in Central
Park, around mid-day. A very actively-feeding new arrival, the
warbler was in a good place for quiet & peaceful feeding, undisturbed
by any human activities (including any unnecessary over-playing of
audio at birds already in full view). This may've been a first-of-
year waterthrush in the park, even though a modest flight of the
species already occurred some days prior, including into some sites
well north of the N.Y. City area.
At the same area & time as the waterthrush sighting were a (red) Fox
Sparrow, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, an E. Phoebe, and several Hermit
Thrush, as well as much more common migrants or wintered-over
visitors. One of the multiple Red-tailed Hawks of the park's
perimeter areas also made a visit to the area. Obviously more
waterthrushes & all the other typical April-arrivals are hoped-for
when the weather allows.
Earlier Tuesday, some Great Egrets were flying over the n. end of the
park in the typical east & west flight-trajectory as seen in that part
of the park from this month to end of summer. The n. end also
featured a goodly batch of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers as it has for a few
days now, & other migrants which have been noted in recent days, all
in small or modest numbers. Belted Kingfisher has continued to be
seen in the last week esp. from the park's north end, but also
elsewhere at times. Palm Warbler was again present at least in the
n. end (with many more due in, any day.) Tree Swallows started to
reappear IN the park (besides high fly-overs which are typical in
early spring) and a few N. Rough-winged Swallows have been occasional
at most recently, the Meer. A report surfaced of a Barn Swallow from
the Meer as well, which is quite possible now.
At the reservoir, it seemed that some, perhaps many, ducks & some of
the other birds had moved, or even departed, although Pied-billed
Grebe was one that remained. N. Shovelers were also still there but
in reduced numbers to a week or more ago. One Hooded Merganser has
been lingering & Buffleheads also are, as well as fewer & fewer Ruddy
Ducks, of which some are in near-full breeding attire in recent days.
One male Wood Duck also has been in the same general area as
previously-recently.
On a pass thru the Ramble, I helped to clean up bits of wire & other
debris from the fencing that's being removed from a winter-work-site
in the central Ramble - while the contractors did a lunch-break - so
as to keep tourists & other visitors from tripping & getting hurt in
what's become yet another section of the park that is busy as can be
with visitors of all sorts. There was water from recent rain in the
area of the Ramble often called the "swamp" in the s.w. portion of the
Ramble; a number of plants are now planted growing there appropriate
to wetter conditions... with luck, it may be a good place to look for
some species with swamp-ish affinities in the migration period. Near
there, at the Azalea Pond, a breeding-plumaged Rusty Blackbird was
skulking about with a more typical-of-species wariness.
Work is also going to occur in the north end of the park, with the
hope that it may act as a deterrent to some visitors there who don't
know better and (unintentionally) may damage & undermine sensitive
habitat & cause more erosion. The upcoming north end work will be
especially in the Ravine ("Loch") area. All those big & bright signs
reminding park users where off-leash dogs are not permitted (at any
time) just might need enforcing, if new plantings are to do well. And
also since one would think a major park in a major city could enforce
the most basic of its regulations. And on the subject of behavior of
park-goers & birders & esp. tour-leaders in parks -
A gentle reminder to all including myself of the core principles in
basic birding ethics (applies anywhere in the world, even as
formulated & expressed by the American Birding Association, revised
versions) - see in particular Article 1, all aspects determining how
one may act most ethically while observing birds. In addition, please
see Article 4, items a. through g. - and with attention to 4.b. - with
respect to observed unethical behavior by anyone actively leading a
group or walk: attempt to document, and make that documentation
available to local & regional birding clubs, societies, organizations,
and in the case of repeat-offender situations, to the authorities for
the land or park in which the activity is observed, as well as to
enforcement, including if & as necessary, report to law-officers, if
that should seem the only recourse with a multi-repeat & un-repentant
"serial" offender. A clear first recourse is politely asking that
obvious-observed-unethical activity be terminated, and that it not be
repeated.

I took a walk this afternoon (2:40-4:15) at Bayard Cutting Arboretum (Great River, Suffolk Co.). Given the chilly temperatures and stiff easterly wind I didn't expect to find too many birds. So I was pleasantly surprised to find a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH and few other migrants, including BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER (1) and RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET (2). A very fresh plumaged Swamp Sparrow was also seen, feeding in close proximity to the waterthrush (40.733405, -73.164952).

RE: [nysbirds-l] Louisiana Waterthrush, Queens
I shouldn't be making a big deal over just a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH, but hey, I keep seeing people going after it. So, it's still at Oakland Lake today. Rich Kelly saw it this morning on the staircase I previously mentioned. Note that this is the Springfield Blvd. staircase. I saw people waiting the other day by the staircase that come down from 46th Avenue on the north side (where a number of Bloodroot flowers are grabbing the attention of some). I later saw the waterthrush a short distance south of the staircase. A very early YELLOW WARBLER (although not the first in the region) was seen in the same area, first by Rich, then by Eric Miller, then finally by me. Eric also reported Blue-headed Vireo, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, and a Wood Duck. The female Ring-necked Duck is still there, now associating with an immature male Lesser Scaup who just arrived earlier in the week.

I saw it on the paved trail a few yards west of the area mentioned below. Since I had no choice but to continue along the trail, it flushed up and flew -- toward the shoreline on the west end of the lake, about where a staircase comes down from Springfield Blvd. Actually, I thought I had heard the call note when I walked passed this spot a few minutes earlier. A smattering of migrants included Flicker, Brown Creeper, Palm Warbler, Ruby-crowned Kinglet. The fallout of Golden-crowned Kinglets was anything but a smattering, with them everywhere I walked at Oakland and Alley Park. I saw a single Palm Warbler, at Alley too, in my half-hour there. The warm weather seems to have sent the message to the Oakland waterfowl. Ruddy Ducks, Shovelers, and Lesser Scaup all left. Ring-necked Duck still there. Go figure why a pair of Hooded Mergansers would show up in April.

For those that can't wait until they're all over the place, the area to look is along the lake's south shore, about two-thirds of the way toward the west end. Look between a big rock at the water's edge and a large forked tree overhanging the water (actually, one of the few areas where vegetation doesn't prevent seeing the water's edge).

RE: [nysbirds-l] Louisiana Waterthrush, Queens
I shouldn't be making a big deal over just a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH, but hey, I keep seeing people going after it. So, it's still at Oakland Lake today. Rich Kelly saw it this morning on the staircase I previously mentioned. Note that this is the Springfield Blvd. staircase. I saw people waiting the other day by the staircase that come down from 46th Avenue on the north side (where a number of Bloodroot flowers are grabbing the attention of some). I later saw the waterthrush a short distance south of the staircase. A very early YELLOW WARBLER (although not the first in the region) was seen in the same area, first by Rich, then by Eric Miller, then finally by me. Eric also reported Blue-headed Vireo, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, and a Wood Duck. The female Ring-necked Duck is still there, now associating with an immature male Lesser Scaup who just arrived earlier in the week.

[nysbirds-l] Louisiana Waterthrush at Bayard Cutting Arboretum
I took a walk this afternoon (2:40-4:15) at Bayard Cutting Arboretum (Great River, Suffolk Co.). Given the chilly temperatures and stiff easterly wind I didn't expect to find too many birds. So I was pleasantly surprised to find a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH and few other migrants, including BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER (1) and RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET (2). A very fresh plumaged Swamp Sparrow was also seen, feeding in close proximity to the waterthrush (40.733405, -73.164952). Full eBird checklist with photos of the waterthrush, gnatcatcher and sparrow can be viewed here: http://ebird.org/ebird/ny/view/checklist?subID=S13712655 -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES 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://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
Re: [nysbirds-l] Louisiana Waterthrush, Queens
without seeing Steve Walter's post I headed to Oakland at 2. Missed out on the Louisiana, but I did see Rudy Ducks, Grebe, Gadwalls, 1 Palm Warbler and 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler. The Lousisiana would have made an incredible day for me even better. I also noticed the Kinglet fallout at Alley, Oakland, Kissena and Hempstead state Park today.

[nysbirds-l] Louisiana Waterthrush + report from Alley Pond Park Forest Park Queens
The LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH found and reported today by Steve Walter at Oakland Lake in northeastern Queens continued there at least into the afternoon. At Alley Pond Park, my observation pretty much follows what was reported by Tom Fiore who in his Central Park report from today, noted that there seemed to be more of a passage than arrival. There were fewer Golden-crowned Kinglets and Eastern Phoebes seen today at Alley than yesterday. A couple of crisp looking Swamp Sparrows and a sizable flock of Rusty Blackbirds (estimated at 30) - observed with Steve Walter, were nice to look at. Still very quiet other than the usual species with nary a warbler seen or heard. Good Birding!
