[nysbirds-l] Heckshire Park Whimbrel, Long Island, New York
At 4: 20 PM today while driving beyond Parking Lot #8 I saw and took pictures of a Whimbrel on the median. If anyone would like me to send a picture, just let me know.

[nysbirds-l] Morning flight at Robert Moses SP, afternoon at Lakeland County Park
The morning flight at Robert Moses State Park (Suffolk Co.), driven by a moderate northwest wind was substantial if not spectacular. I concentrated my effort on the western end of the park, on the golf course and other areas adjacent to parking field 2. The hottest action was in the pines and shrubs near the beginning of the RV beach access road. I was riveted to that spot for 30 minutes by 2-3 CAPE MAY WARBLERS, 1-2 TENNESSEE, 1 CANADA, 3-4 N. Parulas, 1 Blackpoll, 1-2 Pine, several Palms, and a Blue-headed Vireo. Earlier, on the golf course, the highlights were a LINCOLN'S SPARROW and a flyover by an adult Bald Eagle. An immature Bald Eagle was seen later soaring over the eastern end of parking field 2 near the volleyball courts. By that point in the morning the raptor flight was starting to pick up, so I headed to the Fire Island hawk watch at the east end of the park. My timing was good as I was up on the platform when Shai Mitra's call came in regarding the LARK SPARROW he'd found. I hustled over toward the lighthouse where the sparrow was temporarily out of sight. Thankfully it reappeared after a short wait and provided nice looks for about a minute before flying off ~50 yards to the west. In the early afternoon, on my way home from running errands, I paid a 1 hour visit to Lakeland County Park (Islandia). There were signs of migration evident there as well, with the highlights being an adult male HOODED WARBLER, a Wood Thrush, a Solitary Sandpiper, and a Green heron. eBird checklists for both sites here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S15241081 http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S15241168 -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] General hummingbird reminder
Following in the "everything seems early" mindset of this fall, it appears an adult Rufous Hummingbird was reported yesterday in NH. For those out there who care to give those feeders a refresh ebird.org/ebird/nh/view/checklist?subID=S15232465 Cheers!

[nysbirds-l] Westchester county morning birds
There were signs of a change in the birds here overnight. I was planning to take a day off from birding today but as I was trying to make breakfast, my sausage-and-eggs preparation was interrupted three times as I had to get the binocs to scan through the birds that were flitting around the yard. (note to self: don't leave the gas on under the frying pan after going in the yard with binocs). After finally finishing breakfast, I took a stroll through Twin Lakes county park in Eastchester. Activity was good there too, with nice numbers of the 10 commonest warbler species, with Black-throated greens being the most numerous. Of most interest, I had 12 Yellow-rumpeds and 4 Palm warblers, which I haven't seen here in Westchester yet this fall. Also saw 4 Blue-headed vireos, which I haven't seen since spring.

[nysbirds-l] Red-headed Woodpecker at Croton Point
An immature red-headed woodpecker offered good looks this morning for Saw Mill River Audubon's monthly Monday bird walk at Croton Point County Park in Westchester. Well seen on large dead tree beside nature center at 8:30am. It was observed again, an hour later, in dead trees east side and further down driveway toward adjacent play area. This same bird was likely first observed Friday morning in same location based on second-hand description from another local birder.

[nysbirds-l] singing Pine Warbler (Suffolk county)
Just a late note from yesterday, During my son's baseball game at the Diamond in the Pines faciltiy in Coram (Suffolk Co.), a Pine Warbler started belting out a somewhat abbreviated song from beyond the centerfield wall. Perhaps it was "pining" for someone to put an end to the staggering boredom of the game. It sang for about 10 minutes and hopefully headed south. (At least we didn't lose 38-0...:)This facility is completely surrounded by a thick border of pines, right about here: 40.889785, -73.010427. Most likely a local breeder, thought somebody might find it interesting.

[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow Fire Island National Seashore (Suffolk)
Shai Mitra found a Lark Sparrow late this morning on the dirt road between the Fire Island hawkwatch (east of Robert Moses SP Field 5) and the lighthouse, about 100 feet west of the lighthouse driveway. The bird flew a short distance west and is being searched for by others. If you try for it, check in with the folks at the hawkwatch; they should have an update. Shai is still having issues with his server and is aware that multiple iterations of his earlier emails are still coming through. The problem is being worked on and should be resolved soon--meanwhile, thanks for your patience.

[nysbirds-l] Good birding in C.P. North End
There was a nice influx of migrants into the North End of Central Park last night. Not having arrived until nearly 8 this morning, and also having to limit my search to the North Woods, Loch, Wildflower Meadow and just a bit of the Harlem Meer, there must have been much more that I surely missed... Either way, highlights for me this morning were: FOS Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Purple Finch (heard "pik"ing from the canopy) and Bay-breasted Warbler. Also notable was a bit of morning flight activity occurring from the far northwest corner of the North Woods, a fairly reliable location to observe this phenomenon.
