The previously reported Ash-throated Flycatcher was present and showing well for a party of one from 2-3pm in the field west of Wolfe's Pond Park along the Raritan Bay shoreline. While I was there the bird worked back and forth on the beach side of the rock break wall, often perching low and out of view. It actively fed and I could hear it's bill "clapping" often. It was also "pipping" frequently. Great find by Mike Shanley and many thanks to Isaac and others for status updates and detailed directions.
I uploaded a few images to a Flickr gallery for anyone interested. https://www.flickr.com/photos/103866258@N08/albums/72157672435126084 Cheers, Sean Sime Brooklyn, NY -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
