Hi all,
On the topic of early Pine Siskins I thought I'd forward two reports of
that species in New York, NY (Manhattan). Yesterday, Sunday 9/28, Nadir
Sourgi heard 2 Pine Siskins calling in the North Woods of Central Park
(ebird checklist). In the early morning today, Monday 9/29, Junko Suzuki
Two female Blue Grosbeaks, heard "chinking" then seen near the Velodrome at
Kissena Park, were the highlights of a rather slow morning of birding there
and the area known as Kissena Corridor.
Cheers,
風 Swift as the wind
林 Quiet as the forest
火 Conquer like the fire
山 Steady as the mountain

I led a field trip this weekend for the New York State Ornithological
Association to various Long Island birding spots. Our preliminary species
total for the weekend was 114 species. The highlight was undoubtedly a male
Golden-winged Warbler seen well by all on Sunday at Alley Park, Queens
There was definite migratory movement by Blue Jays on Long Island's
north shore Sunday morning. Nothing comparable with what Mickey Scilingo
has been experiencing upstate, but I counted a minimum of 250 over the
first 2 hours or so of my visit (7:15-10:45) when I was in more open
habitat close
Curious, exactly what federal law did the Corps violate? How are they out
of compliance with NEPA and the ESA? I have read your press release and
nowhere does it state the federal law and how the Corps is out of
compliance with NEPA and the ESA.

I spent 90 minutes this morning out in the yard, from 8:40 to 10:10, and
counted the following migrants:
Blue Jay – 1107 – nice recovery from yesterday’s numbers.
Canada Goose – 8
Sharp-shinned Hawk - 3
Golden-crowned Kinglet - 1
White-breasted Nuthatch – 5
American Robin – 8
Magnolia Warbler
It's interesting to consider that Joan's query was probably prompted in large
part by the complete absence of siskins in the Adirondacks during the previous
15 months, which was in itself probably somewhat unusual. Similarly, in central
NYS, where Blue Jays are numerous every day of every year,

Thank you to Tom Burke (& Tony Lauro) for the NYC RBA Reports – I obviously
jump right to the species list when reading them! I know that a lot of work
goes into compiling such information – it is appreciated!
I had to type my note very quickly this morning, and of course I was adding yet
Also, Tony Lauro helps with compiling the RBA when Tom Burke is on vacation.
Also, the NYC Area RBA covers New York City, Nassau, Suffolk and
Westchester Counties so St. Lawrence county is outside its scope.
Thanks again.

Thanks Joan for the thanks but the RBA is produced solely by Tom Burke and
