[nysbirds-l] Say's Phoebe Fire Island Hawkwatch

[Shaibal Mitra]

A Say's Phoebe made a very brief appearance at the Fire Island hawkwatch around 
9:00, first detected by Tony Tierno, and immediately enjoyed by all on hand: 
Trudy Battaly, Billy Hanley, Norm Klein, Drew Panko, me--and VIP Andy Baldelli, 
for whom it was a state bird! (Andy's been out of state for a while.)

After watching it for a few seconds, I left it under their care while I ran 
back to get my scope. Unfortunately, it began bouncing westward almost 
immediately, and despite Andy's and my vigorous efforts, we lost it along the 
median.

Other highlights included a nice hawk flight, a notable influx of Savannah 
Sparrows, a late Orchard Oriole, a late-ish Cliff Swallow, and a double-V of 
Double-crested Cormorants, with each group being led by an immature Great 
Cormorant.

We checked Captree afterward, almost expecting to find a visibly different 
Say's Phoebe there, but dipped of course.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Central Park Sept. 18

[Thomas Fiore]

(Manhattan, N.Y. City)

To Joe G's CP listing, I'd briefly add that from the north end of the  
park, another round of Yellow-shafted Flickers went through, with at  
least 300 (twice the number counted a day earlier at the same early  
a.m. hour just at and before sunrise) moving across the n. end  
airspace and to the SW, headed out of the park - then, in a 90-minute  
rapid recon. of n. end areas, a goodly number (25+) in just one site,  
the small meadowed area at the SE upper edges of the Great Hill, plus  
dozens more of flickers - an indicator of strong nocturnal flight also  
having passed - and a few other highlights, such as a Yellow-billed  
Cuckoo in the Loch, plus modest warbler numbers in various areas, with  
the highlight for me a male-plumaged Hooded Warbler along the "ridge"  
trail that overlooks the meer from the north woods, also Tennessee +  
other warbler spp. in that same area. Also discernible were a goodly  
number of icterids, most seeming to be Common Grackles, but a  
smattering of Bobolinks "pinking" out of the compost area as trucks  
(workers) came in, & some Red-winged Blackbirds and Brown-headed  
Cowbirds in the area as well. As to White-throated Sparrows, a small  
number have been around a while, & a miniscule number were in both  
Central & Riverside Parks in summer, that is "bird" summer, back in  
June & July: those assumed as in other summers in Manhattan, to be  
just that, summering, and NOT breeding birds. Also a Yellow-bellied  
Sapsucker in the north end, and I noted a few more vocal White- 
breasted Nuthatches around than I had been aware of lately - before  
this fall.

good end-of-summer birding!

[nysbirds-l] Broad-winged Hawks on the move

[Allan J. Michelin]

While enjoying Fall warblers this morning at Peach Hill in the town of 
Poughkeepsie on a Waterman Bird Club outing, we all experienced an 
amazing flight of Broad-winged Hawks. They came in waves, at times 
kettling above us low enough that binoculars were not needed to count 
the bands on their tails. During a period of perhaps 35 minutes we 
counted 118 BWHA on their journey south. This is by far the largest 
number of BWHA I've seen in one day in Dutchess Co. Some of the warblers 
were Blackburnian, Black-throated Green, Prairie, Magnolia, Common 
Yellowthroat.

[nysbirds-l] Say's Phoebe @ Robert Moses LI...

[Andrew Baksh]

I got a call from Andy Ballideli reporting a Say's Phoebe seen earlier
near the Robert Moses Hawk Watch Platform.

I believe a search is underway to see if it dropped into the median
anywhere near the area.
