[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park

2016-12-02 Thread Alan Drogin
This week I checked the birding action of Bryant Park for signs of scavenging 
among the food vendors in Bryant Park this winter.  Unfortunately, the increase 
in booths, expanded ice rink deck eating area, and view-blocking two-story 
lounges, along with the larger crowds, have walled in/off many of the garden 
areas.  That and the recent clearing of underbrush have rendered these areas 
nearly dead zones compared to years past where the birds had easy egress to 
hide after raiding the fallen crumbs left behind by hungry shoppers.  Except 
for pigeons and fearless House Sparrows, most of the bird action has moved to 
the peripheral areas.  There was a Hermit Thrush on the southern border and the 
typical Catbirds, although fewer in number at the northwest corner along with a 
Swamp Sparrow being bullied by the larger Common Whitethroats. A surprise was a 
Lincoln Sparrow skulking in the southwest corner, could be the same I’d seen in 
that area for a few weeks about a month ago.

Happy Birding,
Alan Drogin

[nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Geese, 2 se NYS counties 12/2 (Orange, Nassau)

2016-12-02 Thread Thomas Fiore

A huge apologia for posting again in less than 8 hours, but-

Today, Friday, December 2nd, 2016 saw a 2nd Pink-footed Goose get  
discovered in NY state, seen by maybe 8-10 or more observers, and much  
photo-documented in a county besides the one (Nassau) where a bird of  
that species, which is an "ABA CODE-4 species - meaning genuinely rare  
in North America - & that there were also at least 4 OTHER goose  
species recorded where this new find of Pink-footed - was in Orange  
County NY, those others being Greater White-fronted, Cackling-'type',  
Snow, and [Greater] Canada - I figure it's worth a mention on this NY  
STATE Iist?   The find, in Orange County, was at Camel Farm, in the  
"black dirt area" of the county, & I can't provide precise directions  
- it's somewhere on your internet, though! And, not reported here  
for today, but present this day was the Pink-footed Goose in Nassau  
County, at the site where one's been since found by Tim Healy's dad  
and reported often here in past recent weeks - as far as I know, the  
Pink-footed in Orange County was today first found by Bruce Nott, who  
got word out to some others in the area.  Thus, just passing along in  
case there is 1-person-out-there who may not have heard about this, on  
this list.


goosing it up a notch,

[nysbirds-l] W. Tanager, Manhattan, NYC 12/2 - Friday

2016-12-02 Thread Thomas Fiore
Friday, 2nd of December, 2016 -
City Hall Park, lower Manhattan, New York City

A Western Tanager continues at above park this Friday & seen well into  
late afternoon there.  It might be added that some who are coming to  
see this bird have not seen it before, and a fair number of those who  
have come to see in the past 9 days since the discovery (10 days ago)  
have noted that it was a new or "life" bird for them.

The tanager seems fond of the trees (may be high in taller trees much  
of time!) in the part of the park that is between the 2 biggest  
buildings with-IN the park, & just to the east of that area, seen from  
main east-west path IN the park. The bird was quite vocal any number  
of times thru mid-afternoon.

A Yellow-breasted Chat was sought in the immediate area but not seen,  
even as 1-month-now Y.-br. Chat (#1Chat) is ongoing in Trinity Church  
cemetery, as had been reported earlier today, seen in the northwest  
parts again with a bit of effort, and with a a number of other  
observers, just as with the tanager. That church & cemetery a 5-10  
minute walk down Broadway, on the western side of the avenue.

At 3 least additional warbler species are lingering at City Hall park  
- most uncommon at this date, a Black-throated Blue (male, seen with &  
near the tanager today), and at least one remaining Ovenbird, as well  
as male Common Yellowthroat.

Overall, it seemed to me that many birds have departed this park (&  
the area) in the past day or two after some fairly thorough searching  
- those still interested in seeing a Western Tanager here may want try  
soon, rather than wait long (of course, that said, the bird may end up  
being there for some time longer, but...)

City Hall Park is located south of Chambers Street, lower Manhattan -  
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.   
The area the Tanager seems to be favoring is between the 2 major  
buildings IN the park, on / near an east-west path, be looking-up and  
listen for the distinctive calls from the tanager.  There were still  
one or two or more Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in the park, but fewer  
than 7-10 days prior.

Saint Paul's Chapel grounds, 1 short city block SW of the south end of  
City Hall Park, and Trinity Church's cemetery grounds, open to public,  
and a few short city blocks south from same, on west side of Broadway,  
are each worth a look for more birds - on any day. Today, there did  
not seem to be a great many birds of any kind, aside from the Trinity- 
Chat, and a few sparrows & the like, & this "fit" with the diminishing  
quantity of birds at City Hall Park.

Thanks to all who give updates on current status of these & other  
uncommon or rare species;  a tip of the hat to some who have been  
expanding the circle a bit, out from City Hall & Trinity Church areas  
in that part of Manhattan. Other interesting birds might be visiting  
in the general area!

[nysbirds-l] 2016 Christmas Bird Count - Central Park & NJ Lower Hudson

Lower Hudson count circle: Inwood Hill, Lower Manhattan, Riverside Park,
Harlem, Stuyvesant Town, the Lower East Side, Randall's Island, Bryant

After checking the bar at the Coast Guard Station, Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff)

the bar with AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS and BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER.

On the beach,looking toward the jetty, almost at the end, there were 800-1000

[nysbirds-l] Pink-sided Junco - Hamlin Beach SP - Thursday

2016-12-02 Thread Willie D'Anna
The Pink-sided Junco at Hamlin Beach SP, originally found by Andy Guthrie on
November 24th, was seen again this Thursday morning at 11:15. I had it just
off the westbound park road in the median, just before the first turnaround
west of Parking Lot #2 (the lot with the gravel piles). It was with about a
dozen Slate-colored Juncos, which flew up from just off the road as I drove
up to them. I pulled over and waited for the juncos to return, which they
did shortly. It has been seen at this spot several times previously.
However, I did not see the bird from 8:30 until then, despite extensive
searching, and I was actually leaving when I found it. This was my second
attempt to see this junco.

 

Photos of the junco can be seen in my eBird checklist:

Good birding!
