[nysbirds-l] Cape May Warbler etc, Central Park

[gabriel willow]

I led a walk for NYC Audubon in Central Park this evening, through Strawberry 
Fields and The Ramble. It was pretty quiet, but we had several nice warbler 
sightings.  

Namely:

Northern Parula (several)
Tennessee Warbler
Blackpoll Warbler (dull female)
Black-and-white Warbler
Common Yellowthroat
Cape May Warbler (quite dull female, in the two pitch pines a bit to the south 
of the Bow Bridge)

Other highlights were numerous Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and Rose-breasted 
Grosbeaks at various jewelweed patches, and large numbers (20+) of Chimney 
Swifts bugging out overhead.

Yesterday I was remiss in not writing, but saw Wilson's Warbler, Blue-winged 
Warbler, and Veery in Central Park.  Some nice stuff in spite of low overall 
numbers...

Fall is in the air!

[nysbirds-l] Correction: Jones Beach Coast Guard

[Robert Taylor]

Sorry for the multiple posts - I wanted to get the word out quickly but was
hasty in my post - the ID of Golden Plover (American) was incorrect - was a
Black Bellied, however I have a positive id on the godwits - were actually
a Hudsonian and a Marbled.  The mixed flock (mostly Oystercathers with
Black Bellied Plovers, Red Knots) were on the North side of the sandbar.
They took off heading Northwest.  The Marbled left the group and walked to
the south side of the sandbar and stayed longer.  Also present in the
evening were a Royal Tern, Forster Terns and a Lesser Blacked Gull.  A
Caspian Tern was at the marina in the morning but didn't stay long heading
east.  As it was flying away it was dive-bombing hard into the water.

I will update my blog in the coming days with photos (

Good fall birding,
Rob in Massapequa

[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Bird Club Evening Program

[Dennis Hrehowsik]

Please Join the Brooklyn Bird Club Monday, September 22, 7:00 P.M. for:

How to Improve Your Bird Song Identification skills

Presenter: Tom Stephenson

*NOTE: This program will take place Mondayevening at the Brooklyn Public
Library, Central Branch, 10 Grand Army Plaza (718-230-2191)*


There's nothing more satisfying in birding than being able to recognize the
birds singing and calling around you. The language for describing visual ID
points for birds greatly helps us identify the species of an unknown bird.
The lack of this language for songs makes it very difficult to know how to
figure out an unknown song.

In this talk we'll cover how to improve your song recognition and learning
skills by using memory theory combined with the understanding of song and
phrase structure. We'll also discuss an efficient language for describing
vocalizations and give examples of how objective analysis of songs makes it
much easier to separate similar-sounding species.

Tom Stephenson has been birding since he was a kid. His articles have
appeared in many publications, including *Birding, Birdwatcher's Digest,
Handbook of the Birds of the World*, and *Guide to the Birds of SE Brazil*.
He has lectured and guided many groups across the US as well as in Asia,
where he has trained guides for the government of Bhutan. In 2013,
Princeton University Press published *The Warbler Guide*.

[nysbirds-l] Queens County Bird Club Inc. - Upcoming Meeting Info-

[Arie Gilbert]

The **Queens County Bird Club Inc.** will be meeting
at the Alley Pond Environmental Center >Map of location< 


228-06 Northern Blvd Douglaston, NY 11362-1906

at 8pm on Wednesday 9-17-14 { the third Wednesday of the month}

Our Speakers will be Judith Weis, PhD. doing a presentation: “Do Fish 
Sleep?”


From the fifty-one-foot whale shark Rhincodon typus to a 
less-than-one-half-inch fish in the minnow family--the tiny Paedocypris 
progenetica--fish certainly carry a lot of weight . . . or do they? A 
fish's heft in water may vary, but these diverse aquatic animals 
certainly carry a lot of weight in our ecosystems and environment. From 
freshwater to ocean habitats, Judith S. Weis offers a fascinating look 
at these deceptively simple creatures. Fishes may appear to live a dull 
existence, but appearances change once we understand more about how they 
survive. These wonders actually possess attributes that would make us 
superpowers--they can change color, sex, produce light and electricity, 
regenerate injured fins, prevent themselves from sinking, and some can 
even walk on land. Dr. Judith S. Weis is a Professor of Biological 
Sciences at Rutgers University, Newark. She received her bachelor's 
degree from Cornell University, and MS and PhD from New York University. 
Her research focuses on estuarine ecology and ecotoxicology, and she has 
published over 200 scientific papers, many of which focus on local 
estuaries. She is interested in stresses (including pollution, invasive 
species, and parasites), and their effects on organisms, populations and 
communities. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the 
Advancement of Science (AAAS), and a Fulbright Senior Specialist in 
Indonesia in 2006. She has been on advisory committees for EPA, NOAA and 
the National Research Council. She was the Chair of the Biology Section 
of AAAS, and president of the American Institute of Biological Sciences 
(AIBS). She is now writing general interest books, hoping to convey to 
the interested general public the fascinating world of marine organisms 
and the urgent need to conserve the marine environment and its inhabitants.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Whiskered Tern at Cape May

[Robert Lewis]

Seen quite easily and very well this morning resting on the beach near Bunker 
Pond.  It hangs around with a flock of a few hundred Common and Forster's 
Terns.  Also Laughing Gulls, one Black Tern, a few Royal.  

I saw it from about 7:00 to 8:00.  After 8:00 the flock seemed to get more 
active.

[nysbirds-l] Correction: Jones Beach Coast Guard

[Robert Taylor]

Sorry for the multiple posts - I wanted to get the word out quickly but was
hasty in my post - the ID of Golden Plover (American) was incorrect - was a
Black Bellied, however I have a positive id on the godwits - were actually
a Hudsonian and a Marbled.  The mixed flock (mostly Oystercathers with
Black Bellied Plovers, Red Knots) were on the North side of the sandbar.
They took off heading Northwest.  The Marbled left the group and walked to
the south side of the sandbar and stayed longer.  Also present in the
evening were a Royal Tern, Forster Terns and a Lesser Blacked Gull.  A
Caspian Tern was at the marina in the morning but didn't stay long heading
east.  As it was flying away it was dive-bombing hard into the water.

I will update my blog in the coming days with photos (
http://longislandbirding.blogspot.com/)

Good fall birding,
Rob in Massapequa

[nysbirds-l] Cape May Warbler etc, Central Park

[gabriel willow]

I led a walk for NYC Audubon in Central Park this evening, through Strawberry 
Fields and The Ramble. It was pretty quiet, but we had several nice warbler 
sightings.  

Namely:

Northern Parula (several)
Tennessee Warbler
Blackpoll Warbler (dull female)
Black-and-white Warbler
Common Yellowthroat
Cape May Warbler (quite dull female, in the two pitch pines a bit to the south 
of the Bow Bridge)

Other highlights were numerous Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and Rose-breasted 
Grosbeaks at various jewelweed patches, and large numbers (20+) of Chimney 
Swifts bugging out overhead.

Yesterday I was remiss in not writing, but saw Wilson's Warbler, Blue-winged 
Warbler, and Veery in Central Park.  Some nice stuff in spite of low overall 
numbers...

Fall is in the air!
