Re: [nysbirds-l] Cave Swallow movement - NYC 11/17

[Meryl Birder]

I saw one flying around Floyd Bennett today in two different locations (ecology 
village parking area & community garden parking lot) 30 minutes apart 
11:45-12:15.  It was flying very low (eye level or lower) and circling a few 
times before flying off (both times towards northeast direction).

[nysbirds-l] Cave Swallow and Barn Swallow in Brooklyn now

[Doug Gochfeld]

There is currently one each of Cave Swallow and Barn Swallow flying around
the hangar at the boat launch parking lot at Floyd Bennett Field in
Brooklyn. It seems possible, given their behavior and the lateness in the
day, that they will attempt to roost there this evening.

Good Birding

[nysbirds-l] Cave Swallow movement - NYC 11/17

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi all,

There have been a number of reports of Cave Swallow from coastal NYC today,
singles and small groups, none apparently sticking to one spot so far. I
observed one this morning at Fort Tilden (Queens), where more have since
been seen, and others have now been reported from Breezy Point and Coney
Island.

Best,
Brendan

[nysbirds-l] Vulture Roost Croton

[larry trachtenberg]

In the “downtown"’ Village of Croton, the vultures are back in large numbers 
(certainly more than 100 birds this a.m.)—roosting in trees at corner of Grand 
Street and Old Post Road as well as just up the block at Croton High School or 
around the corner at Holy Name of Mary Church.  Mostly Turkey Vultures; but 
plenty of Black Vultures as well (no King) — 7:00-7:30 am seems best before 
they take off (time will change as light does).  If in the area be sure to stop 
in for a coffee, latte or some such, and pastry at The Black Cow Coffee Cow 
right on Old Post Road.  Great coffee and the antithesis of Starbucks.

[nysbirds-l] Green-Wood Cemetery

[Rob Jett]

People searching for the western tanager in Green-Wood please be mindful that 
it is still an active cemetery and to behave respectfully. There are currently 
a lot of people in a relatively small area, so spread the word that yelling, 
sitting or standing on headstones, etc., is inappropriate. Also, steer clear of 
anyone that appears to be visiting a loved one.

As alway - Good birding,

[nysbirds-l] N.Y. County (NYC) 11/11 - 1/16 - B.-l. KITTIWAKE, Bonaparte's Gull flock, SEADUCKS, Cackling Goose, more

[Thomas Fiore]

A GRAY Heron was photographed in Northampton County, Virginia, Nov. 9th - was 
this the bird from Massachusetts earlier this season (?) A series of photos of 
the 11/9 Virginia bird are in the observer’s eBird list - 
https://ebird.org/checklist/S76139031   
(n.b., if a bird that came from the northeast, to Virginia- how much time might 
it have spent somewhere on the coast of s.-e. N.Y.? It has not been re-found, 
or at least, not reported again from Virgina.)A Northern Lapwing has just 
recently been discovered in New Brunswick, Atlantic Canada, as of Nov. 15th, 
this latest find being closer to the U.S./Canada border than a prior N. Lapwing 
farther northeast in Nova Scotia Canada - this ‘latest' lapwing was also near a 
Cattle Egret, which do turn up in (especially Atlantic) Canada from time to 
time, particularly in autumn.

A Loggerhead Shrike has been seen & photographed in Plymouth County, 
Massachusetts for some days to at least Nov. 12th, now sadly a very rare 
sighting in almost all of the northeast; the same county in Mass. also just had 
a male Painted Bunting, photographed at a private home. And also in 
Massachusetts, a Spotted Towhee had been lingering in Bristol County, while a 
Bullock’s Oriole has been in Norfolk County, Mass.

That adult-male Yellow-headed Blackbird in Queens County, NY has reappeared, 
same bird’s been around, apparently - at Flushing Meadows/Corona Park, seen 
Sunday 11/15 by multiple observers who photo’d. it & noted as can be seen in 
the photos it has lost some brilliance, & also that it’s possibly not in the 
best shape now. Will it be there to confront CBC-ers when that time rolls 
around…? And good to see other ‘birds with yellow heads’ in N.Y. City be 
further confirmed: W. Tanager at Greenbrook Sanctuary in Kings County-Brooklyn, 
NYC (first found on 11/14 by E. Leonardi, another excellent bird for Brooklyn!)

Not a great surprise to long-time visitors or regulars there, but some who had 
not known the Franklin Mountain hawk-watch site at Oneonta, N.Y. will be 
interested to see the tally of 24 (two-dozen) Golden Eagles counted there for 1 
day, Nov. 12th, along with 38 Bald Eagles and a few other raptor species. 
However that day’s count of Golden Eagle was one eagle shy of the tally from 
Nov. 3rd this same month when 25 Goldens were placed in the records. And those 
sightings with more of November still to come.

New York County, including Manhattan, Randall’s Island, and the 
now-closed-to-public-access-until-spring Governors Island - and the skies above 
& waters surrounding the county.

Highlights included:  BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE, Bonaparte’s Gull (LARGE FLOCK in 
flight & feeding), Cackling Goose (of the Richardson’s form), BLACK Scoter 
(rarely found in N.Y. County waters in current era), COMMON EIDER (a very long 
time since this species had been seen in N.Y. County!), Long-tailed Duck 
(in-flight flocks), Horned Larks, Lincoln’s Sparrows, Eastern Meadowlarks, 
Baltimore Orioles, Rusty Blackbirds, EVENING Grosbeaks (several flocks in 
flight), various American warblers (including ‘late’ Tennessee Warblers in the 
multiple).

Wednesday, Veteran’s Day, 11/11 - The end of a stretch of mild days with 
southerly winds; rain arriving by mid-day and especially Wed. night, with a 
wind-shift that overnight to northerly wind.

The lingering Virginia Rail in Central Park (originally 1st-found & reported 
publicly by P. Sweet) was still in the same area of the park to at least this 
day. Green-winged Teal seen in the Central Park Reservoir.  Yellow-crowned 
Night-Heron: Randall’s Island; also 2 Mute Swans again at Randall’s Island.

Thursday, 11/12 - A shifting weather pattern but very slow to shift northeast 
and clear out at N.Y. County; rain previous overnight came back through as some 
misty-drizzles, sometimes merely as lingering high humidity, under a very low 
cloud-deck, and increasing winds out of the NE/N & finally NW by evening, when 
some additional showers also pushed through. Tempertaures dropped through the 
day from the 50’s (F.) into the 40’s later. The main component of notable 
migration locally were of waterfowl, waterbirds and birds associated with water.

61 (yes, sixty-one) Bonaparte’s Gulls were seen on the Hudson river! (which 
moved a bit north of 71st St. pier, then south again). Multiple observers, 
photos of part of the flock. * This was incidentally part of a widespread 
movement of this species in the general latitudes, across a good swath of the 
country where the species is at all regular as a migrant. *  Also seen were 21 
Long-tailed Ducks - flybys - headed north, quite uncommon esp. in that number 
for the county (even though common as a wintering species scant miles away off 
N.Y. City ocean & bay shores) An unusual report of a Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher seen 
inside a market in northern Manhattan, and then brought out to be released to 
freedom, at night; a late

A GRAY Heron was photographed in Northampton County, Virginia, Nov. 9th - was 
this the bird from Massachusetts earlier this season (?) A series of photos of 
the 11/9 Virginia bird are in the observer’s eBird list -
