[nysbirds-l] eBird.org: Recent Additions to County Checklists

2016-11-24 Thread Ben Cacace 
When I work on the NYS eBird Hotspots wiki I'll compare the previous bar
chart list of species with the current one to pick up any additions or
deletions. By going to each county's 'Overview' page you can determine the
date the species was added for each county. Some are from newly submitted
checklists from several years ago.

It is not possible on eBird.org to spot these additions from old
checklists. On the 'Overview' page you can sort on 'First Seen' but if the
species was added months or years ago it won't appear at the top of the
list.

For each county on the wiki click the 'Overview' link on the 'Explore a
Location' line:
— http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York

Yellow highlights a species added for the first time this year.

*Cayuga County:*

*Chenango County:*

[nysbirds-l] Valley Stream Pink-footed Goose

2016-11-24 Thread Robert Berlingeri 
Still present resting near the Tennis Courts at A.J. Hendrickson Park
for those who may still want to make the trip. Seen between
12:30-12:45 with about 225 Canada, but I couldn't find the Cackling
Goose which was last seen by several birders on Nov.13th. Female Wood
Duck mixed in with Mallards at the south end.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

much days. Many thanks for all the reporting and I must send a shout out to 
Anders who reported after picking up info from a Tweet.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Western Tanager, Manhattan, NYC 11/24

2016-11-24 Thread Rick 
So many birds at City Hall Park – apart from the Western Tanager, chats, a
pair of BT Blue Warblers, Overbird(s), Common Yellowthroat, sapsuckers, many
juncos, etc., etc.

 

The tanager comes and goes (pretty high up when we were there, sorry for
distant photos; was seen lower-down earlier in am). Was more active earlier
in the morning than when we left just after 11. Was hanging out in the trees
in between City Hall and the Tweed Courthouse.

 

Some record shots (sorry not better):

Good luck if you go, and have a pleasant Thanksgiving,

Thanksgiving-Thursday, 24 November, 2016 -

City Hall Park, lower Manhattan, New York City

 

A Western Tanager was re-found by several of us on-scene by or before 8 a.m.
in the main cross path (runs east-west) between the 2 major buildings within
the park proper - favoring a number of taller trees in the more eastern half
of that path's area, but certainly mobile, feeding-foraging, and calling
quite regularly from sometimes-quite-high branches.  A bit before 8, and the
first sighting by anyone of the day, I very briefly saw the tanager come
down to a modest, non-ornamental fountain (drab colored) which is inside a
fence & nearer the east side of the park, just south of above-noted path -
whether this bird might visit that fountain again, or with any regularity is
still an open question, but of course if it did, viewing would be superb, as
the fountain is not far inside the fence.  Thanks to all of the 12+
observers present to see the tanager in the first 3 hours of day, and I
would add that the first (keen) birder on-scene was not coming up with the
tanager at first-light, so it remains to be seen if a very early try for
this bird is recommended, but it's worth seeking at any hour of a day.
Strongly suggested to familiarize yourself with the calls so as to pick up
on this vocal individual.

 

With the other birders, both of the Yellow-breasted Chats in the vicinity
are still there today, one just at the small traffic-island plantings
immediately south of City Hall Park proper, and the other in Trinity
Church's cemetery, which is a few short blocks down (south) off the west
side of Broadway.  City Hall Park is located south of Chambers Street, to
the east of Broadway - it is also at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, & a
few yards from the main pedestrian path to that bridge.  Some other species
seen again this Thursday in City Hall Park include male & female-plumaged
Black-throated Blue Warbler[s], Common Yellowthroat (male), Ovenbird, "Red"
Fox Sparrow, Hermit Thrush, multiple Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers (minimum of
4, perhaps more), & many other species including numerous White-throated
Sparrows and some Dark-eyed Juncos, American Robins, and more migrant or
winter-visitant species (and perhaps other birds of note, yet to be turned
up?)

 

Many NYC Subway lines come to Chambers Street or nearby-station points,
including many express as well as local lines; and in the vicinity, within
15-20 minutes walk, is vastly more habitat, at Battery Park City Park, &
Battery Park itself, as well as numerous smaller pocket parks and plantings,
& of course the NYC Harbor, the lower Hudson & the mouth of the East
river[s], & yet other areas if one were to work a bit north, from Chamber
Street.

 

As Ben Cacace noted here, an amazing find by the one who heard, then saw
this bird in this modest but productive park, Cédric Duhalde - thank you
from many of us!

 

Happy Thanksgiving & good birding to all,

 

Tom Fiore

The WETA has been seen on and off this morning on the northeast side of
city hall. When I was watching it, it called repeatedly. I'll upload photos
to my eBird checklist after the holiday. Thanks to Menachem and Logan Kahle
for re-finding it and to Cedric Duhalde for reporting the bird yesterday.

[nysbirds-l] WESTERN TANAGER City Hall Park - YES

2016-11-24 Thread Anders Peltomaa 
I just saw a report on the Manhattan Twitter alert that the Western Tanager
has been refound in City Hall Park this morning. That's all I know.

Right now I am not thankful for the Macy's TG Parade, it makes it
impossible to move in our neighborhood, and there is no chance for me to
skip away for a quick twitch this morning.
