[nysbirds-l] Breeding Codes - Breeding Bird Atlas Webinar - This Week

[Wendy Tocci]

To be a part of the New York Breeding Bird Atlas, you only need to follow
three easy steps: follow the block system, observe breeding behaviors and
enter your observations in the Atlas portal in eBird. (Click here to learn
more about the Atlas Essentials
). Join us this Thursday
to learn more about recording breeding codes and next week to learn about
using eBird to enter those observations.

*Breeding Codes - **Thursday, April 15, 7:00 – 8:00pm*
Every time you’re out birding, you’re observing bird behavior. It could be
a song, some territorial squabble, or even a bird building a nest. Matching
bird behaviors to specific codes is all you have to do to atlas! In this
webinar we'll review the various breeding categories and codes. There will
be quizzes.

[nysbirds-l] N.Y. County (NYC) Fri.-Mon., 4/9-10-11-12

[Thomas Fiore]

N.Y. County, including Randall’s Island & Manhattan

Friday April 9th thru Monday April 12th -

The female Western Tanager at Carl Schurz Park continued, as has the 
Orange-crowned Warbler both of which overwintered there.  Either bird can 
require some patience to see at various times; the tanager may come in just 
briefly by the main feeder array, near East End Ave., just n.w. of the Catbird 
playground & south of E. 86th St., but also spends time in other areas around 
the park & possibly just out of it as well, while the Orange-crowned Warbler 
has been most regular closer to Gracie mansion, at the n. end of the park.  
(There are also a few Palm Warblers & had been Pine Warbler in Carl Schurz as 
well.)

Other highlights of the 4-day period included: Pileated Woodpecker, Laughing 
Gull, Horned Grebe, Blue-headed Vireo, E. Meadowlark, and at least 5 warbler 
species as previously reported - Pine, Palm, [Myrtle] Yellow-rumped, (2) 
Orange-crowned Warblers, and Louisiana Waterthrush. (2 very early N. Parulas 
seem to have moved out of Central Park, as of this report's period, & an E. 
Meadowlark there was not reported by 4/12.)

…
Friday, April 9th - 

A Pileated Woodpecker continued at Inwood Hill Park, northern Manhattan.  An 
Eastern Meadowlark continued in Central Park’s n. end.  Light increases of some 
anticipated species such as Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Hermit Thrush, E. Towhee, and 
Chipping Sparrow.  Louisiana Waterthrush continued at Central Park as well as 
Pine, Palm, [Myrtle] Yellow-rumped Warblers.  After many sightings of an early 
N. Parula into Thurs., 4/8, there were no reports of one in N.Y. County for 
Fri. 4/9. An Orange-crowned Warbler was again seen at The Pool in the n. end of 
Central Park.

Higher numbers of Egrets, mostly Great, but some Snowys as well, have been 
flying over the central area of Manhattan in the usual east-west & west-east 
flyway, in particular increasingly noted over the n. end of Central Park. 

...
Saturday, 4/10 - A Horned Grebe was reported off Randall’s Island (L. Rohde) 
and seen from there, although unclear if it was in N.Y. County waters.  Up to 3 
Black Vultures were seen from Inwood Hill Park; that species is definitely a 
lot more regular now than even 1 year prior.  Louisiana Waterthrush continued 
on at Central Park, with many observers. The first (so far reported) 
Blue-headed Vireo of the year was seen at Central Park’s farthest n.w. corner, 
a bit early and coinciding with some others already arriving much farther 
north.  An E. Meadowlark was ongoing at Central Park.

...
Sunday, 4/11 -

The E. Meadowlark continued at Central Park for the 7th day in a row, again 
seen on the N. Meadow ballfields - an unusually long stay for that species 
anywhere in Manhattan.  There was a modest movement of at least a limited no. 
of species; ardeids came in in greater no’s. with in particular Great Egret & 
Black-crowned Night-Heron increasing in the county.  Also showing in more 
locations in the county were such species as Y.-s. Flicker, Chipping Sparrow, 
Palm Warbler, & (slight increases) Field Sparrow, & Yellow-rumped [Myrtle] 
Warbler.  A very few Savannah Sparrows also showed in at least 2 locations, 
those also part of a broader movement on the day.

Some waterbirds were moving, with Double-crested Cormorants among them. A drake 
Green-winged Teal showed in the center of the Central Park reservoir, while at 
least one Hooded Merganser was lingering there (and 2 more were seen from 
Randall’s Island); also still lingering were some American Coot, Bufflehead, 
Ruddy Duck, & Red-breasted Mergansers, with N. Shovelers in fair numbers at 
Central Park.

As noted previously, a very small (so far) number of Purple Finch have been 
moving thru, with scattered sightings on this & prior days. Not many seem to 
have noted it, but the numbers of American Robins in N.Y. County increased 
overnight into Sunday.  There were substantial numbers of [Atlantic] Brant at 
Randall’s Island late Sunday, into 4-digit numbers.

...
Monday, 4/12 - 

Despite the ‘contrary’ weather locally (northerly wind, some rain & drizzles), 
some birds have been arriving. Three Chimney Swifts were seen  (L. Beausoleil) 
at a known roost site for them in Manhattan’s E. Village.  A few Laughing Gulls 
were along the East River, seen from lower Manhattan, and a far greater number 
of Palm Warblers were evident through much of the county this day (and reported 
in the wider region as well), & various other species have increased in the 
county a bit as well, including Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Pine Warbler, & Chipping 
Sparrow.  A Lincoln’s Sparrow that overwintered was continuing at Central Park, 
in the compost area.  A couple of Rusty Blackbirds also were continuing at 
Central Park, in close to alternate (spring breeding) plumage, & also giving 
song at times.  The same 5 warbler species as found in prior days in the county 
were ongoing, that including at least the one Orange-crowned Warbler a
