Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park warblers

[Shaibal Mitra]

One might expect that the Canadian wildfires would be likely to displace birds 
and other wildlife, and observations like these are potentially very valuable. 
Many readers of this list are intimately familiar with their local sites and in 
position to detect similar kinds of unusual occurrences involving forest birds 
this summer. The Kingbird Regional Editors would appreciate reports of this 
kind from thoughtful observers willing to provide some context from their local 
perspectives.

This park has become quite a magnet for unexpected warbler species the last 
couple of weeks, especially singing males in lovely plumage. So far I've seen 
Magnolia, Northern Parula, Black-and-White, and Ovenbird...and though they 
don't all flag as rare, I bird this park a lot, and this seems very unusual 
here in this season. (They don't look or act like early migrants--is the 
consensus that these are birds displaced by the Canadian wildfires, or some 
other cause?) Seems worth keeping an eye out in the park for others as well

P.S. Andrew Baksh's heartening report from Jamaica Bay reminded me of the 
Father's Day essay I wrote for Saw Mill River Audubon--and posted here--a few 
years back, about my Dad and that wonderful preserve. As it happens, he and it 
also appear in my latest piece, which is more about the 
places--landscapes--that speak most deeply to us. Dad had his, I have mine, and 
I always wonder if you all have one, too. Apologies if this is too o/t, but if 
you're interested:

There's one unconfirmed eBird report of a Hoary there today.  Not from me;
I've never seen one there, and haven't gone this weekend (yet).

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

[Trachlar]

I found a single hoary redpoll by itself at CPP on January 21. It was 
photographed by K. Lamb and two others and confirmed as such. This was before 
the influx of common redpolls.  I understand one perhaps two were seen very 
early in February I did not see those.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

[Andrew Block]

I had it last weekend.  At the time I thought it was a pale Common since I 
didn't know the one there was a exilipes ssp.  I was thinking hornemanni ssp. 
since that it was I've seen here in the northeast.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

[Petrov, Ivan Georgiev]

Hello!

This discussion made me look at one of my old pictures, taken in Urbana, 
Illinois, which I considered to be a common redpoll.
Is there a chance that it is Hoary?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

[Robert Lewis]

This amazing display has been going on since at least February 2, with minor 
variations.   Two Hoary Redpolls were documented February 4, but they are 
elusive recently.  The Meadowlark started becoming regular and easy to see a 
few days ago.  There has also been a very reliable Ipswitch Sparrow, sometimes 
joined by a second.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

[Trachlar]

If I may add as you drive into the park on the slope on right side of road 
there has been in addition to many white throated and song sparrows a beautiful 
red fox sparrow including this am. While in the area less than a mile away 
there is a large vulture roost both black and turkey in downtown Croton (corner 
of Grand and Old Post road). Often over 100 birds and stop in for a coffee, 
latte or espresso or treat etc at The Black Cow Coffee company on Old post road

RE:[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

[Larry Trachtenberg]

Sorry for second post - but one other thing.  The landfill grassland has 
undergone a major restoration project; so if you do visit CPP and want to walk 
the landfill stay on the two main "roads" only; the one over the center of the 
landfill and the one on the east (Phragmites) side of the landfill.  Signs to 
that effect are prominent.  (This includes photographers.)   Thank you.

Kestrels have returned to the posts on the landfill at Croton Point (I saw 
three this a.m.) - seems early, since as far as I know they do not breed in 
Westchester County.  Also the Purple Martin colony has done pretty well; many 
adults and young birds scouring the landfill this am.  It does appear 
grasshopper sparrow has bred and likely bobolink.  No rarities yet this summer 
in the park, although Caspian Tern (2) was seen at the train station yesterday 
for several hours until tide turned; a short tome visit from a yellow crowned 
night heron earlier this summer is pretty un-common on this side of the County. 
 Caspian is marked rare on e-bird but they are a regular visitor often both 
spring and fall migration.  We are mid-July so not sure what this visit was.

On a lepidopterist note, I "helped" out (using that word generously) on the 
Northern Westchester Butterfly County yesterday and in the Teatown area we had 
23 species (list below), although a few more skipper photos are being 
circulated for ID.  Skippers, seriously, ... if you thought fall warblers are 
tough to ID.

Good socially distanced birding,

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

[Larry Trachtenberg]

Good again this morning between 9-1015 on landfill:  one red shoulder(adult) 
soaring w one Red tailed, and one sharpie (also seen a second sharpie and a 
coop); 3 meadowlarks, 3 snow buntings, 7 pipit. Some native grasses remain but 
most of landfill mowed plowed and re-seeded in cooperative project among NYS, 
the County, and some dedicated local birders-planters(?) to replace invasives 
with natives. Stay on the gravel paths really no walking on the dirt anywhere — 
yes photographers you.  And dog owners on leash (the dogs anyway); please. 
Sparrows in short supply w lack of cover. No harriers or kestrels, the former 
may be affected by lack of cover for mice/voles but I’m not sure.  A brief walk 
along edge of model airplane field yielded two savannah and one field sparrow 
among white throats and song sparrows.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park this morning

[Larry Trachtenberg]

There are several people who have been instrumental in aiding in the 
restoration of the Croton Point Park landfill, working with the County and the 
meadow landscaper, etc. They have put in countless hours over the last few 
years of volunteer time (I am not one of them). I won’t shout them out by name 
since I don’t know if they want to be named but anyone who has or will bird at 
Croton Point thanks you. Hopefully when the project is completed the CPP 
grassland, a unique birding spot in Westchester, will be even better.

Croton Point Park Grassland Restoration Project: The restoration of nearly 100 
acres of grassland covering the former Croton Landfill at Croton Point Park in 
Croton-on-Hudson was designed in late 2018. Construction will begin in 2019.The 
grassland, or meadow, is currently characterized as a mosaic of plant 
populations and communities with most dominated by ecologically undesirable 
vegetation, such as non-native cool season grasses and invasive and non-native 
mugwort. The goal is to transform the meadow into an ecologically diverse 
community of plants, which will encourage overall biological diversity, 
especially of beneficial insects and birds.The restoration of each patch of 
vegetation will have to be handled differently in order to achieve the best 
overall results. For example, some patches will need to be frequently mowed on 
a temporary basis while others will need to be treated with herbicide to 
eradicate dominant plants. Most patches will need to be re-seeded with mixes of 
desirable grasses and forbs. The grassland is viewed by naturalists as 
critically important to many species of birds using the Atlantic Flyway, the 
migratory route for birds traveling up and down the East Coast. Many other 
birds, including the bald eagle, also use Croton Point Park, the largest 
peninsula in the Hudson River. The project is funded by a $500,000 state grant 
to the District,which will be used for construction. The District is using 
additional state funding and other revenue to finance project planning, design 
and construction management.A Planning Department staff person will manage the 
project on behalf of the District and Westchester County

restoration of each patch of vegetation will have to be handled differently
in order to achieve the best overall results. For example, some patches
will need to be frequently mowed on a temporary basis while others will
need to be treated with herbicide to eradicate dominant plants. Most
patches will need to be re-seeded with mixes of desirable grasses and
forbs. The grassland is viewed by naturalists as critically important to
many species of birds using the Atlantic Flyway, the migratory route for
birds traveling up and down the East Coast. Many other birds, including the
bald eagle, also use Croton Point Park, the largest peninsula in the Hudson
River. The project is funded by a $500,000 state grant to the
District,which will be used for construction. The District is using
additional state funding and other revenue to finance project planning,
design and construction management.A Planning Department staff person will
manage the project on behalf of the District and Westchester County*

Re: Re:[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park Western Kingbird and Upland Sandpiper

[Robert Lewis]

 The last time the bird was seen yesterday was roughly 5:30.  Six or seven 
birders saw it on one of the secondary paths on the north side, around 
41.186110, -73.891340.

 Correction: Western Kingbird was at northeast side of landfill, not northwest. 
Was no longer present there around 5pm when I and others checked again but 
apparently was also missing there at that time yesterday, so may still be 
around. (Meant to update from field but phone died.)
Good luck to anyone who may be trying tomorrow or beyond.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park birds and a butterfly

Spring "arrivals" from the East End of Long Island include oystercatchers,
tree swallows and osprey -- and the bat which appeared last winter in my
yard about this time, tentatively identified as a northern long-eared bat
by Kevin Jennings of DEC.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

I have a very reliable report of a common nighthawk as of 2:30 p.m. perched in 
a willow on way up to nature center at Croton Point

Subject: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

An early morning visit to the Model Airplane Field revealed a burst of activity 
to celebrate the (finally) changing weather. The highlight was 14 species of 
warbler, led by Chestnut-sided and Wilson's. Others species, mostly in good 
numbers and voice, included Magnolia, Black-throated Blue, Black-throated 
Green, Black and White, Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat, American Redstart, 
Parula, Myrtle, Blue-winged, and Blackpoll.

Others species seen included Red-eyed and Warbling Vireo, Least Flycatcher, 
Orchard and Baltimore Oriole, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, a pair of White-breasted 
Nuthatches tending to young in a nest cavity, and a Great Blue Heron winging 
overhead to remind us that there was a lot of water nearby.

Our quick excursion was capped by a sighting from Route 9 of an adult Osprey 
perched on the cell tower at the train station while a pair of Bald Eagles 
soared nearby.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park (Saturday)

[Karen Fung]

I birded the landfill Saturday afternoon and had at least four Vesper
Sparrow along the drainage ditch in the SW portion while walking east
between the main parking lot and RV parking lot.  The exact number was hard
to say, since the birds were skittish and rarely out in the open.  Some
were flushed, simply because I couldn't see them, but a few record shots
were submitted with my eBird report:

http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32055721

The birds were not present when I left that area, and I did not encounter
them anywhere else during my two hour walk on the landfill.  Savannah
Sparrows and Palm Warblers were the most abundant migrating passerines.

Croton is hosting the Thunderbird Games this weekend (a Boy Scouts event)
so access to some parts of the park may be difficult, but there were a few
parking spaces left in the main lot when I arrived.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park 2/27 -- black vultures

[Larry Trachtenberg]

At 745 am this morning perched on the Rte 9 north exit off ramp for croton 
point park were 14 black vultures. That's the most I've seen up here. While the 
local TV count can sometimes well exceed 100, seems the BV population may be 
growing.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Croton point park -- BT grackle?

I was in an uploading mood tonight. This includes a picture of the

I photographed what I am quite sure is a female boat tailed grackle feeding
in the mowed mugwort on left (east) side of landfill around 230 pm.  loosely
affiliating w robins-no other blackbirds on ground. It was there for quite a
while. My only hesitancy is that there are no reports of boat tailed of the
216 species accepted on Ebird for CPP. I have circulated photos to some
folks but don't know how to post a link. (Rarely take photos so no Flickr

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park Sunday

[Robert Lewis]

Not as birdy as yesterday.
Parking lot adjacent and just west of the model airplane field:  around 2:00pm, 
2 Pipits, a few dozen Horned Larks, two adult Lapland Longspurs.  
Adult male Purple Finch at the feeders at the Nature Center.
No sign of the Rough-leg.  One very tame Red tail hanging around the cap.  The 
Barred Owl remains where it was yesterday.

Parking lot adjacent and just west of the model airplane field:  around 2:00pm, 
2 Pipits, a few dozen Horned Larks, two adult Lapland Longspurs.  
Adult male Purple Finch at the feeders at the Nature Center.
No sign of the Rough-leg.  One very tame Red tail hanging around the cap.  The 
Barred Owl remains where it was yesterday.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park and vicinity

[Larry Trachtenberg]

To add to Robert and peter's posts of a great morning at croton point there 
were numerous harriers over both main and model air landfill. In the pines at 
parking lot up top were pine warbler, brown creeper, and golden crown kinglet, 
at the ball field a single killdeer, perched on the bay side visible from the 
low road (w the wine cellars) was an adult peregrine, and about a dozen 
savannah sparrow on landfill.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton point park

[Gertrude R. Battaly]

Larry,

At the Fire Island Hawk Watch we have seen Merlins attack just about 
anything in their paths, including Peregrines.  We have also seen 
Peregrines attack much larger birds - a Canada Goose, on one occasion.
But my fondest memory of Merlin attacks was when one tried for a Kestrel 
that was perched near the top of a pine.  The Kestrel did a very 
unexpected maneuver - he rotated around the branch, in an upside down 
position under the pine bough as the Merlin passed, and then back 
upright on the branch after the Merlin had passed.  That was back in the 
'80s.


For a perspective on their migration seasons and trends see:

Sorry to double post but forgot of corse numerous white throated sparrows (over 
last week there have also been white crowned but we didn't see any). We also 
had numerous ruby crowned kinglets, (2) towhee and small flock waxwings. At CPP 
again briefly this am and have had  single bobolink and eastern meadowlark and 
flock of grackles on landfill -- vesper again wide open I believe there's more 
than one; other additions from yesterday were one each of winter wren and 
peregrine.
