[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach nightjar (Nassau County)

[Pat Palladino]

On Saturday, a few people caught a glimpse of a nightjar (apparent Chuck-wills 
Widow) at Jones Beach West End. In an attempt to hear the Chuck, I headed down 
there this evening and was greeted by a calling Whip-poor-will. It called for 
about 15 minutes, then began its hunt, flying once through my headlight beams. 
Early tomorrow morning may be a good opportunity to catch this bird before it 
roosts for the day.

[nysbirds-l] Pocket Park Report - 5.16.16

[Amy Simmons]

This afternoon I managed to slip over to the mid-town Manhattan "pocket
park" just off of 6th Avenue, btwn 46th & 47th Streets, and managed to find
at least a couple of migrants.  I only had 10 minutes, so there may have
been others, but here's whatI was able to see:

 

1 Gray Catbird

1 Ovenbird

4 White-throated Sparrow

15 House Sparrow

15 Rock Pigeon

 

Now that they've restarted the water feature in the park, I'm hopeful a few
others might turn up before migration has ended.

 

Good birding!

[nysbirds-l] Queens County Bird Club - Upcoming Meeting - Wed. 05/18 - Mark Lowery presents "Preparing for Climate Change"

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will be meeting at the Alley Pond Environmental
Center, 228-06 Northern Blvd Douglaston, NY 11362   
>Map of location<  

 

at 8:00 pm on Wednesday, May 18, 2016.  Free admission.  Refreshments served
(ice cream this month)

Public transportation users:  Meeting location is one mile from Bayside LIRR
station;  you can either walk, take the Q12 bus, or use car service located
at station.

 

Mark Lowery of NYS DEC will present "Preparing for Climate Change"

 

Our changing climate is affecting both human-built
environments and ecological communities. Tropical storms make headlines, but
other climate-related risks are also on the increase. Signals of climate
change include alternating fierce droughts and intense rains, unprecedented
heat waves, earlier springs and later onset of frost, and the arrival of
heat-tolerant species and subtle decline of those less heat-tolerant. These
less-dramatic changes might proceed quite far before their harmful effects
are fully recognized.

This presentation will include an overview of climate science and an
examination of observed and expected effects of climate change, with a focus
on New York's birds and other natural resources. Our speaker will then
describe several New York State climate-change programs.

 

   A 28-year veteran of the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation, Mark Lowery is a climate policy analyst in the
Office of Climate Change. His areas of responsibility have included leading
public outreach for the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, State Sea Level
Rise Task Force and state climate action plan.  He is currently leading
implementation of the Community Risk and Resiliency Act. He also manages the
Climate Smart Communities program, serves as the office's lead on
climate-change adaptation and sits on the state's interagency work group on
climate-change adaptation. Mark holds a bachelor's degree in biology from
Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pa., and a master's degree in
environmental and forest biology from the SUNY College of Environmental
Science and Forestry, Syracuse, N.Y.

[nysbirds-l] New Rochelle Yellow-billed Cuckoo

[Michael Britt]

Not a jaw-dropping sighting but I always enjoy seeing cuckoos. While making
a delivery to 13 River Street, a Yellow-billed Cuckoo was flushed by a lawn
mower and flew N-S across the road. The only "habitat" here are some small
trees and such on the margins of the various companies; it's very urban in
this part of town.

the Least Bittern was also re-found in a slightly other location -  
where it remained
all the rest of the day Sunday - by Nina Bai of Brooklyn with plenty  
of local birders
also giving a hand when & where wanted to help others to see this  
rarity - for that
park... according to some info. pulled up by P. Dorosh, may be the 4th

that's with at least a century of bird records to sift thru. Thanks

[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park 20 species

[Gabriel Willow]

On my penultimate NYC Audubon Bryant Park bird walk this morning, we spotted 17 
species and I added three more after the walk (2.5 hours birding total).  Most 
of the activity was high in the plane trees on the S side of the park, except 
for Ovenbirds and Gray Catbirds, which are everywhere!

Of other species, numbers are low but diversity is high, so it might reward 
some extended tree-gazing if anybody in midtown can pop by on their lunch 
break.  I'm sure there's more that I missed high in the foliage.

Seen:

Rock Pigeon
Eastern Wood-Pewee (1)
Least Flycatcher (1)
Hermit Thrush (2, getting late)
Wood Thrush (1)
Gray Catbird (scads)
Starlings (nesting in tree holes)
Ovenbird (tons! Probably over 30)
Northern Waterthrush (3)
B Warbler (2)
Common Yellowthroat (5+)
American Redstart (5)
Northern Parula (1)
Black-throated Blue Warbler (1 male)
W-T Sparrow (many, a fresh influx it seems)
Swamp Sparrow (1)
Song Sparrow (2)
Eastern Towhee (1)
Scarlet Tanager (gorgeous male)
House Sparrow

Aside from Least & Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, there are no confirmed Empids in 
Bryant Park, so take an extra-close look at any flycatchers found! Acadian is 
entirely possible... That or Yellow-throated Vireo would be my prediction for 
bird species #122 found in the park.

Good midtown birding,

Gabriel Willow

[nysbirds-l] Least Bittern, Prospect Park, Kings Co. 5/15

[Thomas Fiore]

An accommodating Least Bittern was still perched up in a nearly-bare  
tree in the little-birded "rose garden" area of Prospect Park Brooklyn  
(Kings Co.) NY, late in the day Sunday 15th of May - thanks hugely to  
the finder[s] & any re-finders of this special bird, and tip of the  
hat to Klemens Gasser on-scene later in the day, and to Rob Jett for  
an apparent off-field assist with further finding by a few of us  
almost-eve. observers.  I'm curious to hear when the last of this  
species was found in Prospect.   Late-day obs. also included R. Bate  
(whom thanks to for first posting to this list, on this bird) & Brenda  
Inskeep of CT, arriving with me, as well as some other birders. I  
believe Erin Markman was the original finder, and another birder[s]  
helped re-find it a bit later.

The least bittern was mostly just hanging on (perched)  at the upper  
part of the tree it was in, with a few feather-rufflings & a couple of  
startled looks when odd sounds emanated from very nearby Flatbush Ave.  
(traffic sounds, mainly...) - and it crawled just slightly on its thin  
branch perch as the sun dropped low. I did not hear any sound coming  
from the bird, at least thru after 6.  Many observers likely got good  
photos or video of this little gem, thru the day - the location where  
seen is not far from the Grand Army Plaza entrance to this park.
...
After a day that began partly with a singing male Bobolink, a Black- 
billed Cuckoo, & hunting N. Harrier in the east Bronx Co. Pelham Bay  
Park (southern section next to the landfill there), a great ending for  
just one Sunday's bird observations!

good birding,

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay, Sunday 5/15

[Tim Healy]

I neglected to post last night, but it's possible that a number of the birds 
observed stayed put. I spent most of Sunday morning at Jamaica Bay, mostly 
around the blind at Big John's Pond. Despite the wind and slight chill, there 
was a lot of activity. I found 16 species of warblers with many observed quite 
closely from the blind and boardwalk, including Bay-breasted, Cape May, 
Blackpoll, Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Blue, Magnolia, Redstart, and Parula. 
Yellow Warblers were everywhere, and Yellowthroats were similarly abundant. I 
encountered vocal Yellow-billed Cuckoos twice, and there were many tent 
caterpillars in the area. Willow Flycatchers, Solitary and Spotted Sandpipers, 
Wood Ducks, and Ruby-throated Hummingbird were among the other highlights. I 
returned in the evening for another stakeout since there had been no activity 
in the nest box during my vigil. I was rewarded with a brief glimpse of Barn 
Owl wings flapping inside the box a bit after the sun set, and as I walked back 
to the lot in the growing darkness I flushed an American Woodcock from the 
trail. Not a bad day considering there had been minimal migration the previous 
night!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Radar

[Peter Reisfeld]

For looking at specific radar stations I like the NCAR site. It is pretty 
basic, but one can conveniently vary the loop interval to go back to sunset and 
get the takeoff and evolution of the densities.  Also in single image mode, a 
click on the screen changes it to velocity mode useful to see exactly which 
direction and how fast the birds are flying. The link is:

Re: [nysbirds-l] Radar

[Peter Reisfeld]

For looking at specific radar stations I like the NCAR site. It is pretty 
basic, but one can conveniently vary the loop interval to go back to sunset and 
get the takeoff and evolution of the densities.  Also in single image mode, a 
click on the screen changes it to velocity mode useful to see exactly which 
direction and how fast the birds are flying. The link is:
