[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park Woodcocks

[Home]

At least 2 more American Woodcocks arrived at Bryant Park today (the third one 
I saw may have been the first flying to a new location).  They were at the 
garden house in the southeast corner, the northwest corner side across from the 
Patenque court, and the center ivy plot west of the birdbath.

[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots: State, Counties & Locations Updated (Apr/'17)

[Ben Cacace]

Thanks to @Team_eBird for their dedication to keeping eBird.org running
smoothly and for the group of New York State hotspot moderators for their
time reviewing shared location suggestions.

The wiki page site was developed to access data on eBird.org and in places
it includes additional links to birding resources at the county and
location levels. If you have any suggestions for additional links please
[let me know] send them to me off list.

Species totals have been updated for all county pages. This includes the
total number of species with an equivalent color code highlighting the
county name based on colors used on eBird maps. The alphabetical list of
counties on the main page has been updated with total spp. #.

*Hotspot pages*: All location pages have been updated on the wiki. These
include 597 pages representing a total of 1,259 out of 5,550 hotspots
(22.7%). Updates involve # of species and color codings based on species #
along with updated 2017 periods on the bar chart tables displaying the
Current Month: Apr./2017, Prior Month: Mar./2017 and the current two month
period Mar.-Apr./2017 along with the current year: 2017.

For the following counties there are individual wiki pages for the Top 10
locations at the top of the list of shared locations: Cayuga, Erie, Monroe,
Niagara, Orange, Oswego, Seneca, Tompkins, Kings (Brooklyn), Queens,
Richmond (Staten Island), Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Westchester and New
York (Borough of Manhattan) Counties have all shared locations linked to
wikipages.

Counties with 'static' pages do not need to be maintained on a monthly
basis. These include pages for at least the Top 10 locations: Chautauqua,
Bronx, Chautauqua, Hamilton, Jefferson & Onondaga with Putnam County
currently having all shared locations linked to wikipages.

An *alphabetical list of all hotspots* now exist on a single page. Links
exist for any hotspot with a wikipage. Clicking the county name to the
right of any hotspot will bring up the county page showing all hotspots for
the county. See bottom of message for the link which appears on the top of
the New York State page.

*Bar Charts (Species Lists)*: For all county and top 10 location pages
there are tables showing the months, seasons and several time frames for
the current year. Clicking any of these links will bring up a complete list
of species and other taxa with bar charts representing abundance. To see a
list of species for *all* periods click on the name above the months i.e.
'New York State (476 spp.)' or 'Franklin County (242 spp.)'.

*Maps of sightings*: After bringing up a bar chart list you'll see a MAP
button to the right of each species. Clicking this will produce a map of
the latest sightings. Red icons show sightings within the past 30 days.
Click on the icons to see a list of who reported each species and click on
'Checklist' to view their submission. Click on 'Explore Rich Media' in the
right sidebar to view locations with photos, audio or video. These also
exist for any multi-location page combining the hotspots associated with
the location i.e. Massapequa Preserve in Nassau County with its 2 locations.

*Printable Checklists*: a link has been created to produce an eBird
checklist (PDF format) for all hotspots on the wiki site. Additional
details are in this email sent to the list <
https://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/msg20153.html >.

*Tide Graphs* exist for New York County, Kings County (Brooklyn) and
Richmond County (Staten Island). There's a quick link to the tide graphs on
the "Go To >" line highlighted in blue for each location. If there are
multiple graphs on a page the left/right is generally north/south or
west/east. If you spot any issues please let me know off line.

Click '*Overview*' on any of the wiki pages to bring up a sortable list of
all species along with the latest checklists submitted and a list of the
Top eBirders. The default sort is for the latest additions to the State,
County or location.

Check out '*My Location Life List*', '*My County Life List*' and '*My State
Life List*' links on their respective pages.

For each location page click on '*Google Map Directions*' to bring up a
Google Map page. On Google Maps click 'Directions' then 'Transit' to plot a
public transportation route. By clicking 'More Options and Times' you can
refine your search. This also works with 'Driving' and 'Walking'.

[nysbirds-l] Eared Grebe Oak Beach

[Peter Reisfeld]

Third time was a charm.  This morning around 10 AM the eared grebe finally 
graciously cooperated by appearing relatively close to shore, and then by 
joining with his horned cousin for prolonged looks.  Seen far west of the 
entrance approaching the Sore Thumb peninsula.  Here’s a link to a video. (It 
was windy so you may want to turn down the volume.):

Happy spring birding,

[nysbirds-l] Staten Island NYC Mew Gull NOT seen as of 8 a.m. Thurs.,3/30

[Thomas Fiore]

Thursday, March 30th, 2017

The original finder of the Staten Island (Richmond County, a borough in N.Y. 
City) MEW Gull seen yesterday (Wed., March 29th), Dr. Richard Veit, has 
reported NOT finding the gull this morning in the same areas, as of search-time 
between 7-8 a.m., on Thursday.  (It’s very possible that the gull is still in 
the area, or in the region, and may be re-located at some point.)

---
Over in Manhattan, N.Y. City, some of the birds long-lingering at Central Park 
were still around this day, including a brightly-plumaged Red-headed Woodpecker 
in the area of the park just west of near East 68-69th Streets.  The area to 
start looking for it is often a bit north of a rustic wooden shelter perched on 
a rocky rise, & as far north from there as the flagpole ‘vicinity' nearest the 
East 69th St. park entrance. The woodpecker may be quite high in branches & can 
sometimes take time to locate.  

A Red-necked Grebe, & a Common Loon (the latter in breeding-finery) have been 
on the CP reservoir.  A number of additional early-spring (& expected) migrants 
are around the park.  

A modest movement of Vultures passing the park’s airspace and continuing north 
over Manhattan on Wednesday (3/29) included several Black Vultures, & at least 
21 Turkey Vultures in a period of about 90 minutes.  Osprey had been seen over 
the park, also moving north, in addition to a few other raptor species on 
migration. 

Further reports, as warranted…

good birding & good gulling-luck,

Tom Fiore

He's done it again, folks. Papa Healy just sent me photos of a Ross's Goose 
seen on the lake at Hendrickson Park during his morning bike ride. As with the 
Pink-foot discovery, I am unavoidably detained after work today until after 
dark. Hopefully it sticks around for people to see...note that the park lights 
are bright enough to pick it out if it roosts there for the night! 

Cheers!
