[nysbirds-l] Shearwaters at Camp Hero, Suffolk County

2016-06-06 Thread JGIUNTA746
This morning between 9:30 and 11 am  I would estimate  300 Shearwaters  
were flying back and forth, feeding and landing on  the ocean. They were mostly 
in two flocks with the western flock consisting of  Cory's while the 
eastern flock was mostly Sooty. With the Sooty flock I picked  out at least one 
Greater.
Also present were many terns including 4 Black Terns.
Good Birding

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 6/6

2016-06-06 Thread Thomas Fiore

Monday, 6 June, 2016
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

While yesterday's male Hooded Warbler was not seen or heard this day,  
a male Mourning Warbler was, at the Loch, most of the singing from  
this migrant being before 7 a.m. - also present as migrants were a  
couple of Blackpoll and 1 Magnolia Warbler, plus American Redstart,  
Common Yellowthroat and a good variety of species that breed, or  
already have nested this spring in the park.  Lots of Cedar Waxwing  
activity all around, & the 3 regularly-breeding flycatchers each seen  
on territories: Great Crested Flycatcher, E. Kingbird, & E. Wood-Pewee.


A quiet walk was key to noticing some of the above.

good birding,

Tom Fiore
