[nysbirds-l] Rockefeller State Park

2013-05-27 Thread Sean Camillieri
Despite a late start to my day I found an Olive-sided Flycatcher present at the 
intersection of the Ash Loop and Overlook trail at Rockefeller State Park in 
Westchester County around 2:20.  Bird was perched high on top of a dead tree 
catching insects. Viewed for 40 minutes before the bird flew into the area 
where the Kentucky Warbler used to be seen. Great looks and a nearby Eastern 
Wood Pee-wee offered a great comparison. Awesome bird!

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park Barnacle Goose

2013-05-27 Thread holy...@juno.com
I was in Prospect Park for a family picnic today and there was a barnacle goose 
swimming around the southwest part of the lake.  A quick perusal of the 
NYSBIRDS-L archive turned up that this goose was sighted way back in late Oct. 
in the same location but I didn't see any references to it on the List since 
then.  Has it been around the whole time and I just didn't realize it or has it 
been somewhere else for the past 7 months? C. Klein

[nysbirds-l] Yellow-throated Warbler - Caumsett SP (Suffolk Co.) 5/27

Hi all,

There was a Yellow-throated Warbler along the Fisherman's Drive at Caumsett 
State Park this afternoon around 1600. I first found the bird after it sang a 
strange song that I didn't recognize (something like a descending Canada 
Warbler, not the "classic" descending song). It did not sing again.

Coordinates of the YTWA: 40.939112,-73.477658

Other highlights were three Brant in the Sound, many Bank Swallows from the 
nearby colony, and a few Orchard Orioles.

[nysbirds-l] Cerulean at Azala Pond

2013-05-27 Thread Terry
Very slow day for me with little at the Point or elsewhere. At least until I 
got to Azala where there was a male Cerulean in the tres on the NE side of the 
pond. I missed the Red-Headed Woodpecker when I couldnt get past the big group 
blocking the path. Always another day.

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park Barnacle Goose

2013-05-27 Thread holy...@juno.com
I was in Prospect Park for a family picnic today and there was a barnacle goose 
swimming around the southwest part of the lake.  A quick perusal of the 
NYSBIRDS-L archive turned up that this goose was sighted way back in late Oct. 
in the same location but I didn't see any references to it on the List since 
then.  Has it been around the whole time and I just didn't realize it or has it 
been somewhere else for the past 7 months? C. Klein

[nysbirds-l] Rockefeller State Park

2013-05-27 Thread Sean Camillieri
Despite a late start to my day I found an Olive-sided Flycatcher present at the 
intersection of the Ash Loop and Overlook trail at Rockefeller State Park in 
Westchester County around 2:20.  Bird was perched high on top of a dead tree 
catching insects. Viewed for 40 minutes before the bird flew into the area 
where the Kentucky Warbler used to be seen. Great looks and a nearby Eastern 
Wood Pee-wee offered a great comparison. Awesome bird!
