Re: [nysbirds-l] Quick note regarding the PFGO - a late NO

[Tim Healy]

I stopped by the park late tonight, around 10, because Tuesday is the only day 
of the week I have grad class after work. I could not refind dad's discovery, 
despite the park being very well-lit to the point where color patterns were 
visible in binoculars. There were only about 150 geese on the water when we 
arrived, and they were continually flying out until there were about 20 
remaining at 11. A full loop revealed no promising sign of the bird apart from 
a suspicious high-pitched honking noise, heard only once. I will be there first 
thing in the morning in the hope it returns. Folks should check around the 
area: it's possible the flocks only traveled a short distance. The Valley 
Stream Mill Pond, Hempstead Lake, ballfields in the area, and even Nickerson 
(as Brendan pointed out) could host geese if the Pink-foot lingers in the 
region. Glad so many people got to enjoy this individual! Less glad that I 
struck out. Next time!

Cheers!

I have seen photos. The bird looks good. Congrats to the finders, Tom Burke, 
Gail Benson and Bob Shriber.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 11/1

[Thomas Fiore]

Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City -

 From more than 40 correspondents who requested to receive a photo  
(just 1 discovered) of a flycatcher from Monday 10/31, which I had  
photographed (but never saw in the field; my focus being entirely on a  
flock of eastern bluebirds - the photo was from approx. 80-90 feet  
away on max. 48X zoom with a "point-&-shoot" camera), there were more  
than 20 responses, all (that I'm aware of) privately sent, and in the  
mix were a slight preponderance, just more than a third, responding  
that they believed the photo to show a young Eastern Phoebe; just  
about one-third believed the photo might show a Great Crested  
Flycatcher, and another third had no definite opinions, at least in  
their responses.  No one expressed the view that the photo showed a  
Tyrannus [genus - kingbird] of any species :-) - and I am strongly- 
inclined to go with the Eastern Phoebe camp, after all, & chalk up the  
rather brief bit of excitement to a too-quick look at a photo later in  
the day, & then better looks (at photo) and thus simply going to the  
first choice in flycatchers as the most-common mid and late fall  
species hereabouts, as well as the structure & silhouette of the bird  
- sorry for the brief kingbird "call", even though reported as just a  
"possible" - and thanks again to the many who wrote about this,  
including at least one NYC birder just now in Australia!

- - - - - - -
Tuesday, 1st of November, 2016 -

A Yellow-breasted Chat continued through the day today, seen by many  
at intervals in the area just north of Winterdale Arch (over which the  
park's West Drive runs) and in vegetation on the lower slope beneath  
the rocks of the area given the sobriquet "Sparrow Rocks" aka "Sparrow  
Ridge" - east side of the West Drive, approx. 'latitude' of West 83  
Street within the park.  The Chat was in & out of view thru the day,  
for those with time & patience, it showed well in trees, on the  
ground, & at edges of vegetation multiple times.  In the same area has  
also been an Indigo Bunting, and at one point mid-day, a not-that-high  
flyover of Red-shouldered Hawk.

A Rusty Blackbird in rather matte-rusty winter (basic) plumage  
continues at the Gill (stream in the Ramble), seen in the morning at  
the area just east of the small western-most rustic bridge, and  
continuing to be rather shy.

Overall, there were clearly far fewer migrants about that in recent  
days, yet there were still some lingering warblers besides the biggest  
one (Chat), which included: Northern Parula, Black-throated Blue,  
Myrtle, Pine, Palm and Blackpoll Warbler[s], Ovenbird, and Common  
Yellowthroat.  A Northern Waterthrush at The Pond over the past 4 days  
was not much-sought today, but may have still been there. (A drake  
Wood Duck & single American Coot remianed there, in a quick morning  
pass through the park's south end.)  At the reservoir, at least 4  
Hooded Merganser, 6 or more Buffleheads, and the usual N. Shovelers,  
Ruddy Ducks, American Coots and others were present.  Of course, many  
other migrant, visiting or resident species were about this Monday,  
but overall far fewer migrants than had been through the weekend.

- - - - - - -
"A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability  
and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends  
otherwise." - Aldo Leopold (1887–1948), U.S. wildlife biologist,  
conservationist, professor, author, best known for his book "A Sand  
County Almanac" (1949), which has sold more than two million copies.


good birding - and great birding for some at Marshlands Conservancy,  
Rye NY - Congratulations to the finders of the Virginia's Warbler there!

[nysbirds-l] Virginia's Warbler still being seen, but briefly (Rye)

[Gail Benson]

Last sighting of Marshlands (county park, Rye) Virginia's Warbler was
2:15.  Bird gives brief views when it pops up.   (Previous look was at 1 pm
so long gaps between sightings ). Was last seen at top of crabapple halfway
down field to marsh, went up into an oak along trail.  Appears to be moving
back up to northeast part of field.  There is a Nashville Warbler here too.

[nysbirds-l] 24 Goldens at Franklin Mt. yesterday; dead eagle found

[Andrew Mason]

Another big Golden Eagle day at the Franklin Mt. Hawkwatch yesterday.  
Twenty-four birds were tallied by Larry Dake, bringing the season total 
to 72.

On the down side, we learned this morning of a dead Golden Eagle found 
in a neck trap in Quebec.  The bird had been fitted with a GPS 
transmitter and banded by the Delaware-Otsego Audubon Soc.  More details 
will be forthcoming.

Andy Mason

Here is Tom Salo's latest flight forecast.  Anyone interested in 
receiving these alerts can sign up at www.franklinmt.org. Directions to 
the site and more information are also available there:

As of Tuesday, the forecast for Friday is looking excellent for Franklin
Mountain. If it doesn't change, it seems like a classic weather system.
Good conditions are predicted from Friday to Monday. Saturday is
forecast to have NNW winds, not bad but NW is better. Sunday and Monday
the wind is forecast to be NW again.

Of course, forecasts change. You should check the most current weather
forecast before traveling. These flight forecasts are dependent on
accurate weather forecasts. The difference between an occasional
lake-effect shower and steady rain is the difference between a good and
a bad day.

We have had 2 big golden eagle days since Friday (27 Friday, 24
yesterday). I expect goldens to be seen on every good migration day.
Moderate NW winds should keep them close to the ridge for good viewing.
On very light NW winds, they are still moving but they are spread out.
Under those conditions, many follow the smaller ridges of the Upper
Susquehanna Watershed and are not seen at FMHW.

If you have not spent a lot of time at the watch, bring more layers than
you imagine you need. Also, hand and toe warmers can make the difference
between comfort and misery. It is much colder at that elevation staring
into the wind.

I expect to send an update as Friday draws nearer.

[nysbirds-l] Virginia's Warbler Marshlands Conservancy Rye

[Gail Benson]

An elusive Virginia's Warbler is present right now at Marshlands
Conservancy in Rye. The bird is frequenting the extensive goldenrod in the
north end of the field near the crabapple with the bench. Bird is
distinguished by its pale gray body with bright white eye ring, yellowish
wash on breast, bright yellow undertail and yellow green rump.  Bird looks
like a very washed out Nashville and calls intermittently.  No photos yet.
