(+ Details requested by NYSARC)

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, September 14th
2018 at 9pm. The highlights of today's tape are MARBLED GODWIT, HUDSONIAN
GODWIT, BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER, BAIRD'S SANDPIPER, AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER,
good numbers of LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS, YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT,
CONNECTICUT WARBLER, PHILADELPHIA VIREO, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK and
DICKCISSEL.

Though a week without any exceptional rarities, perhaps in part due to a
relatively unproductive stagnant weather system, the variety remained good
including among the shorebirds.

A MARBLED GODWIT still on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge last
Saturday was followed by one or two from Tuesday through today on the bar
off the Coast Guard Station at Jones Beach West End. HUDSONIAN GODWITS were
also seen at both of these sites, Jamaica Bay featuring three on the East
Pond last Saturday dropping to one by Thursday while at the West End two
were noted Monday and three reported Tuesday with two still there Thursday.
Three more HUDSONIANS were photographed at Nickerson Beach last Monday. An
AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER and a BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER were among the
shorebirds spotted at Heckscher State Park Thursday and still present there
today. Three more BUFF-BREASTEDS were on a sod farm south of Sound Avenue
and west of Doctor's Path in Riverhead last Saturday. Another briefly
visited Jamaica Bay's East Pond Sunday and one also appeared at Democrat
Point on Fire Island's western tip on Thursday. A BAIRD'S SANDPIPER was
noted Saturday on Miller Field on Staten Island where a peak of 6 WHIMBREL
were counted Monday this number dropping off to two Friday. Other WHIMBREL
included singles last Saturday at Breezy Point and Fort Tilden, Sunday at
Coney Island, Sunday and Monday at Plumb Beach and Tuesday at Floyd Bennett
Field. A LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER was reported again at Santapogue Creek in
West Babylon Saturday and other notable shorebirds all present at Jamaica
Bay included STILT, PECTORAL, WHITE-RUMPED and WESTERN SANDPIPERS. Also on
the East Pond last weekend was a SORA seen along the west side of the south
end and unexpectedly a SORA also showed up in Bryant Park in Manhattan
today a presumably storm related incursion of LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS
featured a high count of 90 at field 5 at Robert Moses State Park last
Monday that day also finding 61 at Smith Point County Park and 43 at Jones
Beach West End Field 2.

Numerous sightings of one or two CASPIAN TERNS this week came from such
sites as Breezy Point, Plumb Beach, Floyd Bennett Field, Jamaica Bay's East
Pond, Jones Beach West End and Cupsogue County Park and ROYAL TERNS also
remain along Long Island's south shore.

A PARASITIC JAEGER off Coney Island Beach on Monday was joined there by a
ROSEATE and three BLACK TERNS.

A RED-HEADED WOODPECKER visited Central Park’s Ramble on Tuesday.

Among the passerines two SUMMER TANAGERS were reported Wednesday. One
photographed at Battery Park in southern Manhattan the other in Clove Lakes
Park on Staten Island while two BLUE GROSBEAKS were mentioned from a
private site in Manhasset Sunday and another was noted at Fort Totten on
Wednesday. A DICKCISSEL was seen briefly at Brooklyn's Calvert Vaux Park
last Saturday. Early in the week single YELLOW-BREASTED CHATS were sighted
from Hempstead Lake State Park Sunday, Central Park Monday and Jones Beach
West End

We saw the bird late this afternoon (around 4:30-5PM)  and around 6:30pm it 
went into a pine tree (next to the area where it was hiding) probably for night 
roosting.

[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park migration--no Sora or CT Warbler

2018-09-14 Thread Joseph Wallace

Some pretty diligent searching between about 11:30 and 2:00 today failed to
turn up either prize species, but it was an interesting harbinger of
fall/winter in this little park and nearby library plantings. Along with
perhaps half a dozen Yellowthroats (only one mature male), three Ovenbirds,
and perhaps four Waterthrushes (one possibly a Louisiana), and some
Catbirds. Also a single Swainson's Thrush (the first of many for me here in
the months to come, I'm sure) and a female American Redstart in the shrubs
between Fifth Ave and the library. --Joe Wallace

Sora confirmed in dense planting's south of SE corner of Bryant Park lawn (rail

taller white-flowering shrub.  Best chance for view appears to be from south 
side path looking north through rail (heh heh) posts. Will take patience...

[nysbirds-l] Jones Beach and Heckscher SP

2018-09-14 Thread Sy Schiff

Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) stopped to view the Shot Beach bar at Jones west 
end on our way east. Five minutes after we arrived a large group of AMERICAN 
OYSTERCATCHERS joined the ones on the bar bringing with them a MARBLED GOTWIT. 
Nice. The good ones usually fly off, not fly in. Other shorebirds included 
BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER,  20 RED KNOT, 2 still bright red, SANDERLING, RUDDY 
TURNSTONE and SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER.  A single COMMON TERN and several 
FORSTER’S TERN plus a GREAT EGRET were present. Some half dozen OSPREY were in 
the West End.

We arrived at Heckscher Field #7 to find a group actively looking and 
photographing a GOLDEN PLOVER and a BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER. Again nice. Other 
shorebirds included 15+ KILLDEER, 1 SEMIPALMADED PLOVER, 2 WHITE-RUMPED 
SANDPIPER and a GREATER YELLOWLEGS. A MERLIN was in the neighborhood harassing 
the STARLING flock.

[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park - Sora

2018-09-14 Thread Home

Spent yesterday evening and this morning looking for Connecticut Warbler with 
no luck.  Plenty of Common Yellowthroats and Ovenbirds and N Waterthrushes but 
never the betwixt.  However in the farthest southeast of the lawn I got a 
couple of glimpses of what I believe is a Sora.  Poor light and heavy 
vegetation made the views difficult but size, silhouette and behavior were 
positive and I would rule out anything rarer.  Also in the same spot we had a 
Sora a few years ago.

[nysbirds-l] Forster's Tern - LaSalle Park- Buffalo 9-13-18

2018-09-14 Thread Joseph Fell

I saw *1 Forester's Tern* yesterday at LaSalle Park - the bird was in the
company of 1 Common Tern. I understand that other's saw 2 of this species
at Hamburg Town Park about 10 miles south of Buffalo yesterday as well.
While our friends on the coast see these birds regularly, it's a treat to
get them in migration here in Erie County.
