[nysbirds-l] LSNY: The Bats of NYC and Dorian Anderson's Bicycle Big Year (April 12th, 2016)

2016-04-07 Thread Richard Fried
On Tuesday evening (April 12th, 2016) the Linnaean Society of New York
2015-16 Speaker Program will feature two presentations that are sure to be
both extremely interesting and entertaining.

 

At 6:00 PM, Kaitlyn Parkins will present Nocturnal Neighbors: The Bats of
New York City. Bats, one of the largest mammal groups, play a vital role in
our ecosystem, even in New York City. Kaitlyn Parkins, a research scientist
for New York City Audubon, will discuss the secret lives of the bats that
live in and migrate through the city-who is here, what they are doing, and
where to find them. She will present findings from over four years of
research, including how bats use green roofs as foraging habitat. She will
also discuss the threats to our bat populations and some of the work being
done to mitigate these threats. Parkins studied at Fordham University,
receiving a master's degree in ecology and a graduate certificate in
conservation biology. Her other field work includes monitoring bird-building
collisions in the city.

 

Following the brief business meeting at 7:30 PM, Dorian Anderson will
present 365 Days, 18,000 Miles, 617 Species, Zero Petroleum. On January 1st,
2014, lifelong birder Dorian Anderson boarded his bicycle in frozen New
England. He was embarking on the first official North American bicycle Big
Year.  Anderson decided to travel strictly by bicycle and on foot. He will
talk about what he saw, the logistics he employed, and the encounters he had
during his year on America's roads as well as the genesis of the trip, which
involved his decision to leave his postdoctoral position at Massachusetts
General Hospital. Join him for a unique blend of birdwatching, biking,
environment, adventure, self-discovery, and humor from his Biking for Birds
Big Year.

 

Both presentations are free and will be held in the Linder Theater on the
first floor of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
Enter at West 77th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue. All
welcome!

 

Complete details of these exciting presentations and the rest of the
2015-2016 program can be found here:

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 4/7

2016-04-07 Thread Thomas Fiore

Thursday, 7 April 2016
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

A Louisiana Waterthrush was still in the area of The Pond & Hallett  
Sanctuary within the park's southeastern sector. At about 7:15 a.m.  
the waterthrush was seen singing (an abbreviated bit of song) & moving  
near the n.e. part of the sanctuary, a bit south of the stone-arch  
bridge (which is over the northeastern-most arm of the Pond).  It was  
working the edges of the water, not far from where the most phragmites  
remain.  Also noted at the Pond & immediate vicinity - multiple Hermit  
Thrush - an influx of that species last night, as there were over 50  
seen in the park this morning (from C.P. South to 110 St. in the north  
end), and at least one of them was also singing softly, 'under' the  
louder song of a Brown Thrasher which is lately lingering still at the  
Hallett Sanctuary's w. edges...


Other species in the park today include a modest additional influx of  
sparrows & kin, with a few E. Towhees in spots that they'd not been  
until today, & a couple of females joining the males, as well as a  
slight uptick in Field, Chipping, & Song Sparrows, & ongoing hundreds  
of White-throated, plus what seemed a small jump in Swamp Sparrow  
no's. as well as ongoing Dark-eyed Junco.   A breeding-plumaged Rusty  
Blackbird continues it's shy but regular routes at the Gill-Azalea  
Pond, & lake edge in the Ramble... where there were a few newly- 
arrived migrants (more later, once the quiet returns...)  Oh, and  
a good signal of migration having occurred, the numbers of Yellow- 
shafted Flicker crashing & banging thru the woods & some of the open  
areas all around the place...  plus a bit of additional E. Phoebe  
waggery.


Reservoir of C.P., still most of the same as last few days, & gull  
no's. perhaps picking up & thus worth another look for potential  
uncommon spp., as gulls are still lingering as well as moving just now  
& can be into next month... & the Meer, not a whole lot as of mid- 
morning, but worth checking anytime.


The n. end did not receive as much scrutiny from me this a.m. but a  
variety of the early-arrival migrants were thinly distributed and some  
spp. were singing a little, as was also noted elsewhere, in the damp  
but much milder air of this morning - it almost seems to be April.


good birding & quiet observing...
