[nysbirds-l] additional Central Park, NYC 4/23

[Thomas Fiore]

Wed., 23 April, 2014 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

Additional to the male Cerulean Warbler, which was essentially seen  
for 12+ hours, right through early evening in the area previously  
mentioned as well as occasionally moving east a bit in trees along the  
lake shore (the bird apparently remained song-less), there were both a  
Spotted Sandpiper & a Wilson's Snipe - this latter at least the 3rd of  
season in Central - each at Turtle Pond, simultaneously.  A really  
nice sighting by Nadir Sourgi at the north end was of a male Purple  
Martin, a species that is not often noted from Central or Manhattan,  
but could easily be annual & also very scarce there. (the martin did  
not linger, thus no alerts were sent; it may have gone on towards the  
north.)   Later in the day, I joined Nadir for a while and we had a  
Hummingbird zip by at the n. end - of course, presumed a Ruby- 
throated. While we found things a bit quieter at the late hour of the  
day up there, Nadir mentioned that there had actually been 2 male  
Prairie Warblers in the area where I earlier reported one singing -  
these 2 were counter-singing around the noon hour. We also had 3 Snowy  
Egrets fly over in unison on that n. end-of-the-park east-&-west-bound  
fly-way, as well as multiple Great Egrets. Later at the reservoir, a  
search for a possible "late" red-necked grebe was cut short by wind,  
chill, & approaching dusk... a number of Great Egrets came in there to  
feed.

Good birding,

Tom Fiore

[nysbirds-l] Listserv Messages Going to Spam Folder (for some of us)

[Donna Schulman]

I've been finding a number of messages from NYSbirds-L and other birding
listservs sitting in my spam folder. Other birders have been reporting the
same problem. Mostly, it's messages from people with yahoo addresses. Some
are addresses which have been hacked, which is what the email browser is
supposed to be watching for, but many are 'real' messages.

Which is why I didn't see Corey's earlier report on Tom Reichert's
Prothonotary Warbler.

So, if people are talking about birds that you haven't seen reported, check
that spam folder!

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler

[Tim Dunn]

The prothonotary warbler was present at Fuchs Pond Preserve in Northport/Fort 
Salonga at 6:15pm, offering great views. It was down the hill, alongside the 
pond near the "broken" bridge.  Still present around 6:45pm when I left the 
area. 

May stick around until tomorrow given the windy conditions. 

Thanks,

[nysbirds-l] extralimital 50 miles from NY: S.-t. Kite, 4/23

[Thomas Fiore]

Wed., 23 April 2014 -

One of Connecticut's experienced birders has reported a Swallow-tailed  
Kite in the vicinity of Bridgeport, CT - that is roughly 50 miles or  
less from the Westchester Co., NY border with CT... and maybe a lot  
less, "as the kite flies", via LI Sound to Nassau & Suffolk Co's.  
north shore areas...  have 'an eye to the sky', if you're out & about.


An initial report was posted to the CT-Birds list, via that list's  
moderator, & observer was F. Gallo:  http://digest.sialia.com/?rm=one_list;id=102


good luck,

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 4/23

[Thomas Fiore]

Wednesday, 23 April, 2014 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

60+ observers (or, many more) had excellent views of the male Cerulean  
Warbler being seen on the n.w. side of bow bridge, at the Ramble's  
s.w. corner; the very popular bird offering great views & "photo-op's"  
to anyone lingering more than a few minutes there. The Cerulean was  
associating with a modest flock of Yellow-rumped Warblers, a Pine  
Warbler, & a few other typical migrants, such as R.-c. Kinglets.  If  
the Cerulean leaves that area, it might be wise to seek it in the  
Ramble area, in company again with some Yellow-rumped Warblers. To my  
knowledge, no one has seen the Cerulean singing, and in general, not a  
great deal of bird-song was coming forth in the morning's increasingly  
blustery-cool weather - with some exception, and good listening skill.

Thanks to Miriam Rakowski for originally finding the Cerulean on  
Tuesday, & Kyu Lee for re-locating this today, & to Chris C. & anyone  
else who helped get word out to many more...  this area & east a bit  
to The Point, about a 5-10 minute walk from Bow Bridge, seemed to  
offer some numbers, in what someone coming into some other section of  
the park might see as a rather blustery & 'not-so-many-birds-around'  
sort of day.

The north end of the park from 6:15 thru 8 a.m. seemed overall a bit  
quiet for migrants, with the exceptions of the Loch, & an area in the  
north woods east of the Lily Ponds (which is basically dry at this  
time).  Along with the male Prairie Warbler on the Point in the  
Ramble, another male Prairie was seen singing in this Lily Ponds north  
end location, as well as multiple Palm, some Yellow-rumped, a Pine or  
two, and Black-and-white Warbler [s]... at the Loch, a Louisiana  
Waterthrush & Black-and-white Warbler continued, & there were other  
migrants in that area; at the Pool on the south side (not far in from  
the W. 100 St. park entrance), a Yellow Warbler was quietly working  
the willow trees.  A modest number of N. Rough-winged Swallows & Barn  
Swallows were over the Meer, and a few Ruddy Ducks remained.  In  
general, it seemed to me that some of yesterday's push of sparrows was  
reduced today, although the White-throated Sparrows are in fine voice  
& numerous. The Hermit Thrush numbers continue to be fairly good, and  
were rather widely distributed around the park again.

At the reservoir, many Double-crested Cormorants continued, & a  
somewhat reduced number of N. Shovelers, a few Buffleheads, & very few  
Ruddy Ducks continued. The gull flocks were just beginning to arrive  
(they typically do not stay overnight at the reservoir, & there are  
daily, & hourly comings & goings of gulls there) and in the hour  
before 9 a.m. I did not see other than the 3 most typical species all  
times of year (Ring-billed, "N. American" Herring, & Great Black- 
backed Gull).

As the find of a modestly early Cerulean indicates, there just may be  
a few other uncommon-in-city migrants flitting about in some less- 
birded location. The Cerulean & a number of other currently-seen  
migrants are likely to persist in place another day or two, given  
current winds and weather.

good birding,

Tom Fiore

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler

[Tim Dunn]

The prothonotary warbler was present at Fuchs Pond Preserve in Northport/Fort 
Salonga at 6:15pm, offering great views. It was down the hill, alongside the 
pond near the broken bridge.  Still present around 6:45pm when I left the 
area. 

May stick around until tomorrow given the windy conditions.

[nysbirds-l] additional Central Park, NYC 4/23

[Thomas Fiore]

Wed., 23 April, 2014 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

Additional to the male Cerulean Warbler, which was essentially seen  
for 12+ hours, right through early evening in the area previously  
mentioned as well as occasionally moving east a bit in trees along the  
lake shore (the bird apparently remained song-less), there were both a  
Spotted Sandpiper  a Wilson's Snipe - this latter at least the 3rd of  
season in Central - each at Turtle Pond, simultaneously.  A really  
nice sighting by Nadir Sourgi at the north end was of a male Purple  
Martin, a species that is not often noted from Central or Manhattan,  
but could easily be annual  also very scarce there. (the martin did  
not linger, thus no alerts were sent; it may have gone on towards the  
north.)   Later in the day, I joined Nadir for a while and we had a  
Hummingbird zip by at the n. end - of course, presumed a Ruby- 
throated. While we found things a bit quieter at the late hour of the  
day up there, Nadir mentioned that there had actually been 2 male  
Prairie Warblers in the area where I earlier reported one singing -  
these 2 were counter-singing around the noon hour. We also had 3 Snowy  
Egrets fly over in unison on that n. end-of-the-park east--west-bound  
fly-way, as well as multiple Great Egrets. Later at the reservoir, a  
search for a possible late red-necked grebe was cut short by wind,  
chill,  approaching dusk... a number of Great Egrets came in there to  
feed.

Good birding,

Tom Fiore
