[nysbirds-l] Manhattan: Common Raven, Yorkville

2017-02-19 Thread Ben Cacace 
Around 3:30p today a Common Raven was seen north of 74th St. near York Ave.
getting dived on by a small group of crows. It settled on 444 East 75th St.
for a few minutes with the crows still diving on the larger corvid which
eventually lifted and headed towards the East River.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan, NYC 2/18 & 19

2017-02-19 Thread Thomas Fiore 
Manhattan island, N.Y.C. -

Sunday, 19 February, 2017 -

17 Canvasbacks continue this Sunday morning at the Hudson river, just  
north of the (west) Harlem piers park, adjacent to a Fairway  
supermarket that's off (under) the West Side Highway - the ducks were  
viewed from the narrow pathway (watch for bikes), to the north of the  
park with the public piers; they can and do go beneath the aging- 
wooden pier areas and may be rather hidden at times; as well as not  
being in this location - when they may visit the opposite (New Jersey)  
side of the Hudson, a mile or more distant.  A lone American Coot also  
continues, a bit south of this group of ducks.  (these birds were seen  
& photographed today at 8:45 am, & were seen thru the day on Saturday  
by many observers, as well as being seen in prior weeks, in varying  
numbers, and times of day.)  Thanks to many who updated on this now- 
scarce-in-Manhattan species; some were also recently noted at the East  
River as seen from a vantage point in the east 50's on Manhattan.
---
At Central Park (also Manhattan, N.Y. City), the first-year Red-headed  
Woodpecker remains near the path just west of East 68th Street inside  
the park from Fifth Ave., this bird now exhibiting much red in the  
"hood" as it comes farther into alternate plumage.  The woodpecker was  
active as early as 6:45 a.m. this very mild Sunday morning.

At the CP reservoir, a Red-necke Grebe continues its' post-rehab.  
stay, & a Common Loon continues as well, both of these in basic  
(winter-type) plumage & can be diving & moving all about the entire  
reservoir;  also, there are some Double-crested Cormorants present  
there (& in other water-bodies of the park) now, & a bit of caution is  
needed in making ID's on loons or larger grebes from a distance.  Many  
gulls were already present by the time I was checking the reservoir at  
7:20 a.m., and more were coming in, so it may be worth further  
checking thru the day, for species beyond the three regulars of winter  
(& at most times, those of course being Ring-billed, American Herring,  
& Great Black-backed).  - A Glaucous Gull at the East River, found by  
David Barrett of Manhattan this week, may be continuing and might be  
viewed from a few vantage points in the 50's-90's of the east side of  
Manhattan, & perhaps as DB had done, from the southern end of  
Randall's island scanning south - a scope may be useful for best  
potential viewing & it can be better in afternoon for less sun-glare,  
unless an overcast day. (I do not know if this gull is present now!)

Hooded Mergansers are distributed on at least 4 water-bodies, but have  
been a bit skittish with Turtle Pond recently & more often at the  
Meer, the reservoir, & on the Lake; Wood Ducks have been at the Meer,  
reservoir, Lake, & the Pond (seen in each of those locations this  
Sunday morning, with some effort);  a drake Northern Pintail was still  
at The Pond & a single Am Coot, with the comical trio of [feral sorts  
of] Muscovy type ducks, which very early this morning were within  
Hallett Sanctuary, then out to the Pond proper.

A Red-throated Loon seen for just 2 days in a row at the CP reservoir  
seems to have departed again, this was seen & photographed by just a  
few of us, 1st noted by Nancy Pinnell in an eBird report from  
Wednesday; on Thursday, the Red-throated was not easy to spot for some  
hours, as it continued to ride low in the water, not from distress but  
as a method of feeding, which it was doing a great deal of; at the end  
of the day Thursday a 1-hour further effort did not reveal the Red- 
throated again, just the basic-plumaged Common (all the park's grebes  
& loons so far this winter have been in basic plumage, as is most- 
often seen thru this time of year).

There have been 2 Pied-billed Grebes wintering at the reservoir, which  
continue now.  Other CP waterfowl include Gadwalls, Buffleheads,  
Northern Shovelers (in very good numbers on the Lake, with more on at  
least 3 additional CP water-bodies), Ruddy Ducks (3 water-bodies, but  
most scarce at the lake), and other very common species;  a Great Blue  
Heron now with nice hanging plumes is regular at the Pond & sometimes  
in other areas in the park (seen at the Pond this Sunday very early).

Birds heard singing, &/or calling, these very mild mornings include:

Mourning Dove,  Red-headed Woodpecker,  Red-bellied Woodpecker,   
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker,  Downy Woodpecker,  Hairy Woodpecker Yellow- 
shafted Flicker,   Blue Jay,  American Crow,  Fish Crow (2 - Meer),   
Black-capped Chickadee,  Tufted Titmouse,  Red-breasted Nuthatch (just  
2),  White-breasted Nuthatch,  Brown Creeper,  Carolina Wren (one has  
been very vocal for many days now in the Ramble area, & there are  
others in the park now),  Ruby-crowned Kinglet (at least 2 are  
present, one in the Ramble, another at the Pond area; that latter was  
also heard giving calls - only, not song, very early this Sunday),
