[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 4/14

[Thomas Fiore]

Thursday, 14 April, 2016
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

Another cool start, and another previous night with at least modest  
movement locally, on light winds.  Sort of a no-brainer that when a  
Yellow-throated Warbler was found in Central, with the nice arrival of  
the species locally, there wasn't the slightest doubt about it. 
Nice also to find plenty of birders enjoying a bird (& which many  
wished to observe) without the outrageous & unethical playing of any  
recordings that can & do disturb migrants, as well as resident & (most  
worrisomely- and illegally if done with intent to disturb), breeding  
or potentially-breeding species.

Thanks to Anders P. for his good efforts with this much-wanted species  
& to the many, many others who act responsibly, reasonably, &  
intelligently as well in their approach to bird observations.It  
really is not tough to watch, enjoy, & learn much about birds, and yet  
not stress them in any way - show patience with the birds, and they'll  
sometimes show surprisingly well.   And a fine example to set for  
those still learning the myriad ways & wonders of the natural world.

A far more regular migrant, & just slightly 'early' was a Blue-headed  
Vireo in the Ramble, near the upper lobe's east slopes.  Present in  
the park today were (at least) the 3 most-regular Swallow species:  
Barn, Tree, & N. Rough-winged.  A few Sharp-shinned Hawks were among  
migrating raptors seen moving in the a.m. hours.

quiet & respectful birding,

Tom Fiore
Manhattan

[nysbirds-l] Rusty Blackbirds (and other expected early arrivals) Bronx Zoo

[Todd Olson]

Bronx Zoo has a couple sites where Rusty Blackbirds have been in (eBird
noteworthy) numbers,  showing fidelity especially for the Lydig Swamp Pond
by parking lot A,  Northern Ponds waterfowl exhibit, and wooded creek
drainage North side of Children's Zoo. There were  11 birds today
distributed between 3 sites, 8 birds yesterday, and 17 seen last week on
7th April... Almost all days the Zoo has been hosting at least a couple
Rusties for past several weeks.

Pine and Palm Warblers showed up this week in very modest numbers and a
colleague reports their FOS Ovenbird.

Zoo is free admission on Wednesdays, and the Mitsubishi River Walk also
public access (outside admission gates) via the Bronx River parking lot.
Membership to Wildlife Conservation Society confers free admission every
day.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Upland Sandpiper Continues

[Joe Jannsen]

I received the following message last night at 9:16 PM:

"Sorry, your message was not sent out to 'nysbirds-l' because the message is 
identical to a message you sent to 'nysbirds-l' recently.  If you believe you 
are receiving this message in error, resend your message with slightly 
different content."

An odd message, considering I rarely post to the listserve, and I most 
definitely did not post an identical or another other message related to the 
Upland Sandpiper.  So, as suggested, I am reposting my report from yesterday 
evening, in case folks did not receive it.  Apologies if you are seeing this 
information too late for it to be useful to you, but I did attempt to post my 
observation in real time.

Thanks.

I haven't seen any reports today, so I am happy to report the Upland Sandpiper 
continues just east of Oak Beach near pole #483.  Viewed from the eastbound 
shoulder.
