[nysbirds-l] Junco x White-throated Sparrow hybird, Central Park, New York City

This morning while leading the Friday morning AMNH bird walk in Central Park, I found an apparent hybrid Junco x White-throated Sparrow in the Ramble. The bird was on the paved path by the northeast corner of the "Swampy Pin Oak" fenced in area east of the Rustic Shelter. Photos of this

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach

After seeing this morning's reports of significant bird movement, but being stuck going to work, I was able to swing past Jones Beach west end at lunchtime. What was most interesting was the sheer volume of migrants around the Coast Guard station. So many passerines were moving around that I

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) encountered the fallout at Jones Beach West End. Surprisingly, the number of species was modest, but some of the numbers made up for it. Starting with Quantity, TREE SWALLOW-3-5.000 (hard to count or guesstimate when the sky was covered and full of them); PINE

Re: [nysbirds-l] Goose me, please

Allan, Word from individuals is always best but you can track all the birds reported to eBird.org with the following webpage that shows all species for 2014 for both Oct. and Nov. When you click on the MAP icon next to each bird it'll bring up a map with Red icons for observations within the past

[nysbirds-l] Goose me, please

I am working on my New York list and noticed that I need several geese - White-fronted Goose, Ross's Goose, Cackling Goose, and Brant. Sometime in the next week or so, my wife and I will be traveling across New York, so if you find any of these species, please contact me. I will also need

[nysbirds-l] CONNECTICUT WARBLER @ Hoyt Farm Park (Commack, Suffolk Co.)

I found a CONNECTICUT WARBLER earlier this afternoon (~12:40) at Hoyt Farm in Commack. It flushed from dense mugwort and perched up nicely for a couple of minutes within the locust grove in the center of the field adjacent to a dried up ephemeral pond. There were loads of sparrows--primarily

[nysbirds-l] Holtsville Ecology Site

Steve Walter's post got me moving to the nearest site for migrants as Jones Beach wasn't in the timeline for the day. This Brookhaven town facility is actually situated on a closed landfill, but can at times support a fair number of nice species. It is one of the few locations in western

[nysbirds-l] Lake-watching Friday in Wilson (Niagara County)

I watched Lake Ontario from in front of the house this morning. There was a great steady flight of BONAPARTE'S GULLS. One LITTLE GULL accompanied them. Also, a good variety of ducks, including 11 SURF SCOTERS and 80 WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS. New for me this fall were 3 LONG-TAILED DUCKS and one

[nysbirds-l] Kissena Park morning report, Queens NY

Hi all, Thought it was worth mentioning that Kissena Park was very birdy this morning. Birds were everywhere and the common invasives were low in numbers. I didn't even see any house sparrows! Highlights included 11 Warbler species with 1 Nashville Warbler and 1 Wilson's Warbler, Several

Fwd: [nysbirds-l] Coastal Fallout

There was nice correlation of last night's radar and Steve's observations at Jones Beach. The density of radar reflectivity was moderate, but the overall migration appeared to be southeasterly, with peaks ending centered on the Nassau-Suffolk border. Looks like there might be some corrective
