[nysbirds-l] Nocturnal Flight Calls

[Timothy Healy]

Every time I’ve been outside tonight I’ve been hearing an abundance of 
Nocturnal Flight Calls. Low cloud cover is probably helping a lot. Get out to a 
spot with some illumination and give it a listen!

Cheers!

[nysbirds-l] Forest Park Hooded and Worm-eating Warblers

[Steve Walter]

At the Forest Park waterhole in Queens, a Worm-eating Warbler and a female
Hooded Warbler have been intermittent visitors today. 

 

On a side note, I've posted a few usable Kirtland's Warblers pictures that I
was able to muster up in the terrible conditions Saturday. Also, the Recent
Work page is now featuring a variety of pictures (of varying quality) from
last month's hawk watch experiment in Queens. As a follow up to the Killdeer
pictures, I did see two young ones on May 5.

[nysbirds-l] Kentucky Warbler singing: Rockefeller State Park Preserve

[Anne Swaim]

Just as a heads up to birders in Westchester area:

*A Kentucky Warbler was heard singing for several minutes early today at
Rockefeller State Park Preserve* (b/n ~6:20-6:30am.)

However it was not heard later this morning during Saw Mill River Audubon's
regular 2nd Monday walk.   The eBird list from that rather cold & chilly
walk is here: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S45664959

Kentucky Warbler was heard in wet shrubby valley located between Old Sleepy
Hollow Road Trail and Nature's Way, i.e. SW of main parking area, about 1/2
way along Nature's Way to Glacial Erratic (RSPP trail map here:
https://parks.ny.gov/parks/attachments/RockefellerTrailMap.pdf )

[nysbirds-l] Re: [nysbirds-l] Kirtland’s Warbler?

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi Fred and all,
I learnt today that the Kirtland's Warbler was last seen just after 10am
yesterday. David Krauss told me that he had seen it fly up heading west
towards the western perimeter of the park, and to him it appeared as it
kept going...

So now it has been 24 hours plus, since the last sighting. If birders want
to put in time searching it might be worthwhile to spend some time in
Riverside Park around 96th Street and there around.

There were still plenty of birds in the park today. Multiple of jewels such
as Cape May, Blackburnian and Bay-breasted warblers. The highlight among
the wood warblers for me today was a CERULEAN near the West 77th Street
entrance that gave a bunch of birders eye level views, while it was SINGING
its heart out.
Can't imagine a better start on a Monday morning.

[nysbirds-l] Madison Square Park report

[Ethan Goodman]

For those of you interested in activity at NYC's micro-parks, Madison Square 
Park would be worth a visit if you're in the Flatiron/Midtown South area.  
During fairly short walks over the past few days I've had a total of about 25 
species, including: Scarlet Tanager, Wood Thrush (singing), the park's first 
Veery, Lincoln's Sparrow, and about 8 warblers.  I had the pleasure of leading 
a bird walk for the Madison Square Park Conservancy on (a rainy) Saturday 
morning and we had a very decent 16 species over the course of one hour.  This 
is all in contrast to a very slow April/early-May for the park (perhaps due to 
late leaf-out?).  I have no doubt a careful survey of the park, including some 
neck-craning up at the high canopy, would revel a number of additional jewels.  
Good birding.

[nysbirds-l] East End birding over the weekend

[Jane Ross]

even though I missed the Kirtland's in Central Park, the East End provided 
plenty to make up for it! Especially wonderful were great views of a mature 
American Bald Eagle who sat cooperatively on a log on a sand spit in Mecox Bay 
for about 30 minutes before providing exquisite views in flight circling the 
Bay before heading north.

A pair of red knots were highlights at Sagg Pond (both Sagg and Mecox have 
substantial mudflats at the moment, although Mecox is already closed to the 
ocean.) Glossy ibis overhead at Dune Road/Tiana Beach and also flying over 
downtown East Hampton Village.

Many other shorebirds were present at Sagg and also on mudflats at Acabonac 
Harbor, including:

black bellied plover (magnificent in full breeding plumage)

dunlin (about 60 at Acabonac)

ruddy turnstones

willet

yellow-legs

snowy and great egrets

oyster catchers

black skimmers

least terns (many)

Forster's terns (a few)

sanderlings

semipalmated sandpipers

piping plovers

semi palmated plovers

On the downside: no hummingbirds yet, bluebirds have not shown up to take 
residence (breaking a 7 year run) and purple martins are absent from their 
usual gourd colony near Georgica Pond. perhaps all just late arrivals in this 
cold, late spring?
