[nysbirds-l] Arctic Tern+ Cupsogue, Suffolk County, LI

[Shaibal Mitra]

An adult Arctic Tern made a brief appearance at Cupsogue this evening, 
appearing at 4:10 and flying off toward the inlet at 4:17--but not before 
feeding over the shallow, in-rushing tide with a flock of Common Terns, just a 
few meters from me. Wish I had the SLR today, but at least I managed distant 
digiscoped shots of the bird at rest.

Birding was challenging under a brisk nw wind, but shorebirds were definitely 
on the move. I counted 95 Short-billed Dowitchers, most of which were actively 
flying east to west in small flocks. Notably, all the flocks consisted mostly 
of bright, breeding-plumaged birds, whereas the 50 or so gray first-summer 
birds that have been lingering here in recent weeks were no longer present. 
Also noted were a Whimbrel and small numbers of Least Sandpipers and Greater 
Yellowlegs. The local Eastern Willets are starting to gang up. The one Western 
Willet present was apparently stimulated by them, or by some annoyance shared 
with them, and spent a lot of time calling. I tried to video this, but had 
trouble with wind noise. The only segment that captured the Western Willet 
reasonably well was one that lacked nearby Eastern Willets calling.

Other highlights included one Roseate Tern (a brief appearance before the 
Arctic Tern arrived) and one Royal Tern still in full breeding plumage (which 
arrived just before we left).

[nysbirds-l] All's quiet on the East Pond

[Andrew Baksh]

I spent a quiet but lovely morning on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife 
Refuge.

There were very few shorebirds around and I mean few as in: 2 Lesser 
Yellowlegs. 2 Killdeers, 12 American Oystercatchers and 3 Spotted Sandpipers (2 
adults and 1 juvenile).

No sign of the RUFF (I did not see it) or any Short-billed Dowitchers today.

There was a small change in waterfowl as I observed 4 Green-winged Teals. These 
are definitely new arrivals. The only other duckage highlight would be 2 
continuing Ruddy Ducks and 26 Gadwall Ducklings from 3 broods.

Cheers,

[nysbirds-l] Van Cortlandt Cliff Swallows Continue.

[Nadir Souirgi]

The two adult Cliff Swallows observed two weeks ago by Jeffery Ward and I 
continue on the Parade Grounds of Van Cortlandt Park. Amazingly, they are 
joined by an immature type bird. This (strongly?) suggests a successful NYC 
breeding pair. I arrived this morning at 7:45 and they were not present feeding 
among the other three common swallows which led me to believe that there 
previous appearance was an anomaly. They seem to arrive on the field later in 
the morning which is consistent with our previous observation. They associate 
with the other three swallow species at the south end of the Parade Grounds for 
those interested in seeing them.

Good birding,

[nysbirds-l] Pelham Bay: more Cliff swallows

[Matthieu]

Hi,

I was interested to check the status of the Cliff swallow along Pelham Bay 
shore this year. A kayaking trip there this week revealed the presence of at 
least 19 Cliff swallows along the shore, active in 10 completed or ongoing 
nests on 2 sites:

- 14 adults active in 7 completed nests on the South-West side of the City 
Island temporary bridge, close to Pelham Bay shore. I assumed for that count 
that the same swallow don't enter more than one nest.
- at least 5 adults building 3 nests on the East side of Pelham Bridge (2 pairs on the 
South-East side, and at least one individual building a nest on the North-East part). 
These ongoing "nests" are in a very early stage. As last year, the flying 
adults give great views from the side walk of that bridge.

So if the 2 nests found by Jack Rothman on the Orchard Beach buildings are 
still active, there are 11 or 12 active Cliff swallow pairs in the Pelham Bay 
area. This is still modest compared to some colonies upstate but it seems it 
keeps increasing: 2 pairs in 2010 (Richard Aracil and Jared Cole, first e-bird 
nesting account for the location), 7 pairs in 2015 (J. Rothman and myself, 
second nesting account). The main change this year is the successful adoption 
of the new City Island temporary bridge. Hopefully the future City Island 
bridge will provide similar nesting opportunities as the current one.

ebird checklist with some pictures here:
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S30488854

Matthieu

PS. By the way some of the confirmed (and expected) breeding bird I got in 
Pelham Bay park include Common tern, Brown trashers, Orchard orioles, Eastern 
kingbirds, Tree swallows (in particular 2 nests boxes are occupied and 1 pair 
curiously nested in an horizontal traffic light tube over Pelham Bay bridge), 
Willow flycatchers, Blue-gray gnatcatchers, Yellow warblers (abundant), Barn 
swallows, Killdeers.

[nysbirds-l] Melanistic Kestrel, W Village - Lower Manhattan

[Todd Olson]

A melanistic male American Kestrel gave me a start this morning as it
perched briefly on a W Village rooftop TV antenna.  Sooty black wing
coverts, belly and flanks were strikingly odd and had me thinking Eur Hobby
for a nanosecond.  Have been hearing and seeing AmKe in neighborhood
regularly but until today not paying very close attention to individuals.
This sighting about 2 blocks in from Hudson River Park at Bethune Street.
