[nysbirds-l] Hundreds of warblers across Governors Island

[Jonathan Perez]

Not quite a “fall out” 

 But there were warblers every five feet, this afternoon  the majority included 
Palm Warblers,  but also Black and White Magnolia Pine, Blackburnian, Northern 
Parula, and migrating white throated sparrows - who I didn’t see in bulk the 
other week.

The most interesting species was a suspected American Pipit in the construction 
on the east coast of Governors, noticeably larger and hunting with the warblers.

Because I didn’t have a photo I couldn’t snap it.

[nysbirds-l] Overnight Deep Water Pelagic Trip - Brooklyn, Lvs Sun Evening, 9/26

[Paul Guris]

There's still space aboard the American Princess for their scheduled
dedicated birding overnighter out to the deep waters off the Continental
Shelf. I haven't spoken with the captain for a bit but the last time I did
he said the trip was already half full. The trip leaves at 9:00 PM on
Sunday evening, Sep 26. This is a great time of year to be offshore and the
later date increases the likelihood of jaegers, especially Long-tailed, and
possibly Sabine's Gull.

[nysbirds-l] Stone Bridge Nighthawk Watch - September 18th

[TURNER]

60 nighthawks were seen by a crowd of 23 observers last night. Good views of 
Jupiter, Saturn and the growing moon through a 60x bird scope! 


Stone Bridge Nighthawk Watch

Directions: Long Island Expressway to Nicolls Road (Exit 62). Take Nicolls Road 
north to the end where it joins State Route 25A. Make a right heading east on 
25A. Make left at first light onto Main Street. Take this north to end where it 
forms a t-intersection. Look to left and you'll see the stone bridge crossing 
over water. Make a right and immediately find a parking space on the road 
across from or near the old Setauket Post Office.
