8. Re: American Golden-Plover, Randalls Island NYC


Manhattan (in N.Y. County), N.Y. City -
Thursday, Oct. 8 - A cold front passed early on the prior night, with a few 
showers locally, while a stronger rain came thru parts of New England also Wed. 
night; this front was pushed through all of the region on very gusty NW winds 
which continued all day.
21 species of American Warblers were found in Central Park alone on Thursday, 
10/8, & many or all of those species were also found around all of the county, 
these included a few species now running a bit ‘late’, although none 
unprecedentedly so, & in keeping with many warbler spp. still being seen around 
the area & some quite a bit farther north as well, in recent days. (One species 
most definitely not seen, & has never been recorded in the 48 contiguous U.S. 
states, & in the Americas apparently just in the western & central Aleutians 
and associated far-west areas of the state of Alaska, is the Wood Warbler, a 
Palearctic (old world) warbler species [Phylloscopus sibilatrix], which is 
unrelated to the American Warblers, and which is not found breeding in the 
Americas. One citation & search result: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_warbler )  Some other Phylloscopus-genus 
‘old-world’ warblers do occur, some being very rare, at least one breeding, 
(Arctic Warbler) in parts of N. America -particularly Alaska & the 
west/northwest- but the Wood Warbler has not been seen in eastern North America.
Further note on the American warblers moving through, all of the species noted 
from Manhattan & N.Y. County are also being seen in other N.Y. City counties / 
locations, some even in fair no’s. (overall) such as Yellow Warbler as one 
example. Many of these species are simply in slightly greater no’s. for the 
start of the 2nd week in October, as relative to their average or ‘typical’ 
peak autumn dates, which for many would be a bit earlier, a few spp. much 
earlier, such as (for example) Blackburnian, which are scarce now (& neither 
expected this late, nor at all unprecedented). We also continue to see the 
long-term effects of (in part) a series of years of strong spruce budworm 
outbreaks in boreal forests of N. America, much of that in eastern Canada, and 
that giving rise to increases in well-fed neotropical migrants when on their 
breeding grounds, including (but hardly limited to) such species as Tennessee, 
Bay-breasted, & Cape May Warblers, just to single out those in particular. This 
is an ongoing trend in parts of the great boreal forests, which (potentially) 
could go on for some years.
A Wilson’s Snipe was photographed at the Great Lawn of Central Park, & with 
multiple observers; however this bird did not stay in place for the day. This 
cold-front arrival day featured a fairly strong diurnal migration / movement 
that went on for all of the morning, & to a lesser extent right on to the end 
of the day. Multiple observers saw PINE SISKIN into double-digit numbers in 
this park (also in other parks) on the day, including some spending much of the 
day in same areas; also seen were high no’s. of Purple Finch and there also 
were good no’s. of American Goldfinch.  A Marsh Wren was still lingering at 
Inwood Hill Park in northern Manhattan.
Several Rusty Blackbirds came into Central Park & Riverside Park (north 
sector), although this species may well have already been present. The multiple 
E. Meadowlarks seen moving past Manhattan (sadly a rarer sight in the county 
than had once been) are noted in the individual flight notes below; this 
species should still be watched-for in coming weeks; can be surprisingly 
skulking & even in open sports fields & such, can find small bits in which to 
hide themselves, the more so where taller grasses or shrubs are present.
Waterfowl in (all of) Central Park for Thursday included at least 1 Ring-necked 
Duck

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, October 9th
2020 at 10pm. The highlights of today's tape are HENSLOW'S SPARROW, WESTERN
KINGBIRD, SEDGE WREN, YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD, AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER,
AMERICAN AVOCET, BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER, WILSON'S PHALAROPE, LAPLAND
LONGSPUR, LARK SPARROW, CLAY-COLORED SPARROW, GRASSHOPPER SPARROW, VESPER
SPARROW, YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT, CONNECTICUT WARBLER, BLUE GROSBEAK,
DICKCISSEL, a PINE SISKIN invasion and more.

Last weekend's highlights began with a discovery Saturday of a HENSLOW'S
SPARROW at Sparrow Rock in Central Park seen one day only and then on
Sunday the finding of a WESTERN KINGBIRD on Governors Island, perhaps the
bird from the week prior, this also present on Monday. The SEDGE WREN was
seen again Sunday at Freshkills Park on Staten Island and the male
YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD was also noted over the weekend still foraging
along the east shore of Meadow Lake in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park just
south of the boathouse.

Excitement among the shorebirds included a report of the AMERICAN AVOCET in
flight Tuesday over the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge while one
or two WILSON'S PHALAROPES were seen both Wednesday and Thursday at the
south end of the pond. Other shorebirds still using the pond, despite
constant harassment by Peregrines, include some PECTORAL and STILT
SANDPIPERS and a LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER. An immature AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER
appeared today on Randall's Island. A WHIMBREL was out in Springs on the
south fork last Sunday. A BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER visited Smith Point
County Park Monday and a LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER was at Gilgo Monday with one
or more also still at Santapogue Creek in West Babylon this week. Forty
LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS were estimated at Smith Point County Park Monday
and CASPIAN TERNS included one at Mecox Saturday and two at Captree Sunday
with 2 at Sagg Pond yesterday.

A nice selection of sparrows this week featured the LARK SPARROW staying in
Central Park's north end to Tuesday and single CLAY-COLORED SPARROWS in
Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn Saturday and Governors Island Wednesday and
at Read Sanctuary at Playland Park in Rye today. Also notable were single
GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS at Brooklyn's Calvert Vaux Park Saturday, Planting
Fields Arboretum Sunday and Kissena Park Monday and some VESPER SPARROWS
included singles in Central Park and Floyd Bennett Field today. Good
numbers of LINCOLN'S SPARROWS continue and more WHITE-CROWNEDS are
arriving. Single LAPLAND LONGSPURS were noted today at Robert Moses State
Park and at Sagg Pond while other continuing migrants have included some
flycatchers including YELLOW-BELLIED, a few PHILADELPHIA VIREOS and some
RUSTY BLACKBIRDS. A YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT visited Central Park Saturday.

Among the warblers a few CONNECTICUTS continue to be seen in what has been
a productive fall for them and early ORANGE-CROWNEDS included one at Owl's
Head Park Sunday and one in Green-wood Cemetery yesterday. Many other
species of warblers continue to pass through most now in low numbers these
including MOURNING, HOODED, CAPE MAY, BAY-BREASTED and WILSON'S.

A BLUE GROSBEAK stayed in Central Park's north end to Tuesday with one also
at the Lido Beach Preserve Monday and another in Queens Tuesday.

DICKCISSELS this week started last Saturday with 2 at Fort Tilden and one
at Calvert Vaux Park with a couple during the week ending with 2 at Moses
Park and one at Read Sanctuary in Rye today
