[nysbirds-l] 10/10- Queens: Diverse migration, Greater White-fronted Goose, Cackling Goose, BLACK TERN etc.

Yesterday morning, Shai Mitra, Shane Blodgett, and I watched birds from the platform on Battery Harris at Fort Tilden for several hours. Since it is still early in the season for huge numbers of things like blackbirds, robins etc., we traded the large numbers that are characteristic of this site

[nysbirds-l] Lynbrook flyovers

I encountered evidence of migrant movement during my 10 minute walk from home to the Lynbrook train station. There were a number of kinglets and Myrtle Warblers fluttering in the trees, and small flocks of robins were passing over. When I briefly stopped to listen for an unidentified

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 10/10-9-8 (incl. Summer Tanager: 10/9)

A very nice turn-out on Saturday afternoon (10/8) for a memorial service & bird-walk remembering Geoffrey Nulle, esteemed Riverside Park (in Manhattan) & New York birder - who left us too soon, organized with much care by one of his brothers: Greg, and attended by many, with a good number

Re: [nysbirds-l] Tree swallows

I also saw large groups of Tree Swallows passing over Southold NY here on the North Fork of LI earlier today. It must be their last hurrah while heading south. Rick & Linda kedenb...@optonline.net > On Oct 11, 2016, at 1:56 PM, Eileen Wheeler wrote: > > A cloud of Tree

[nysbirds-l] Henslows Sparrow on Staten Island at Fort Wadsworth

Seen twice well. I know these birds and have spent time watching them on their breeding grounds near Chicago more than once. There are a few weedy fields between the parking area near the jetty and the actual jetty. Bird first seen on the wood chip path that parallels the water in between the 2

Thanks for the report from further west, Doug! I always appreciate the opportunity to view a migration event through a wider lens of observations. Surely, your Cackling Goose was the same individual some of us were lucky enough to spot at Jones Beach. It, too, was seen in a flock with 13 Canada

[nysbirds-l] The day after....

The combination of an A.M. dental appointment and chores kept me from birding until after 1:00 PM. today ! Dune Rd, from the Quogue Bridge to Shinnicock Inlet seemed to be the most efficient choice, considering the time left in the day.The only addition for me to this season's species was the

[nysbirds-l] Orange-crowned Warbler, Alley Pond Park

I came across an Orange-crowned Warbler late this afternoon in the Alley (Douglaston) marsh section of Alley Pond Park, Queens. This was on the east side of Alley Creek. Lots of bird activity here, although I'd have to stoop down to the likes of Purple Finch and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker for the
