This morning while leading the Friday morning AMNH bird walk in Central
Park, I found an apparent hybrid Junco x White-throated Sparrow in the

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) encountered the fallout at Jones Beach West End.
Surprisingly, the number of species was modest, but some of the numbers made up

Allan,
Word from individuals is always best but you can track all the birds
reported to eBird.org with the following webpage that shows all species for
2014 for both Oct. and Nov. When you click on the MAP icon next to each
bird it'll bring up a map with Red icons for observations within the past
I am working on my New York list and noticed that I need several geese -
White-fronted Goose, Ross's Goose, Cackling Goose, and Brant.
Sometime in the next week or so, my wife and I will be traveling across New
York, so if you find any of these species, please contact me.

I found a CONNECTICUT WARBLER earlier this afternoon (~12:40) at Hoyt Farm in
Commack. It flushed from dense mugwort and perched up nicely for a couple of
minutes within the locust grove in the center of the field adjacent to a dried
up ephemeral pond. There were loads of sparrows--primarily
Steve Walter's post got me moving to the nearest site for migrants as Jones
Beach wasn't in the timeline for the day. This Brookhaven town facility is
actually situated on a closed landfill, but can at times support a fair number
of nice species. It is one of the few locations in western
I watched Lake Ontario from in front of the house this morning. There was a
great steady flight of BONAPARTE'S GULLS. One LITTLE GULL accompanied them.
Also, a good variety of ducks, including 11 SURF SCOTERS and 80 WHITE-WINGED
SCOTERS. New for me this fall were 3 LONG-TAILED DUCKS and one
Echoing the reports ~50 miles south in NYC and LI, Putnam County, NY in the
Lower Hudson Valley was very "birdy" this morning. I walked approximately
2.5 miles in Manitou Marsh in Garrison, NY. In the very short stretch of
road from the Manitou MTA - Metro North Station to the Manitou Marsh gate,
Hi all,
Thought it was worth mentioning that Kissena Park was very birdy this morning.
Birds were everywhere and the common invasives were low in numbers. I didn't
even see any house sparrows!
Highlights included 11 Warbler species with 1 Nashville Warbler and 1 Wilson's
Warbler, Several
There was nice correlation of last night's radar and Steve's observations at
Jones Beach. The density of radar reflectivity was moderate, but the overall
migration appeared to be southeasterly, with peaks ending centered on the
Nassau-Suffolk border. Looks like there might be some corrective
Just want to get the word out that Jones Beach and the coast are loaded with
birds this morning. Good variety.
