The ROSEATE SPOONBILL found in Mill Neck on Sunday the 5th was still being
seen around Beaver Lake south of Cleft Road up to Wednesday though we have
no reports since then.

A BROWN BOOBY first spotted in Arthur Kill off the southwestern section of
Staten Island last Saturday was still being seen there up to yesterday
often sitting on buoy #4. This area can be viewed from near the
intersection of Allentown Lane and Windward Court just north of the
Outerbridge Crossing.

The SAY'S PHOEBE was found early last Saturday west of the parking lot at
Cupsogue County Park in West Hampton Dunes and lingered there for a couple
of hours before moving on.

The female YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD first noted back on August 25th at
Nickerson Beach was seen there again last Saturday in dune grasses near the
west tern colony.

Another bird only seen infrequently has been the white morph of GREAT BLUE
HERON at Marshlands Conservancy in Rye spotted again last Saturday along
the marsh edge.

Scarce so far this year an AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER appeared at Heckscher
State Park yesterday.

At Cutchogue fields off Oregon Road and Depot Lane hosted 2 BUFF-BREASTED
SANDPIPERS Monday with a BAIRD'S SANDPIPER there Tuesday and another
BUFF-BREASTED visited the Route 51 fields in Centerport just east of Route
111 also on Monday. Another BAIRD'S dropped by the field 7 pools at
Heckscher State Park yesterday where a WILSON'S PHALAROPE was also seen
last Saturday and again Wednesday. An HUDSONIAN GODWIT was spotted in Fire
Island Inlet on Wednesday and up to 5 WHIMBREL were noted this week at Fort
Tilden with 3 more out in Jamaica Bay Sunday.

A few CASPIAN TERNS were present this week sometimes in company with the
much more plentiful ROYAL TERNS.

Single RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS were spotted Tuesday in Central Park and
Inwood Hill Park. Four immature LARK SPARROWS were found this week with one
at Watch Hill on Fire Island Sunday, one at Oak Beach Tuesday and another
near there around Fire Island Inlet Wednesday with a fourth at Floyd
Bennett Field today. Single CLAY-COLORED SPARROWS appeared at Central
Park's north end Monday, at Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn yesterday and
in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park today. On Wednesday 2 YELLOW-BREASTED CHATS
were noted, one in Central Park's north end and the other at Hoyt Farm Town
Park in Commack.

A few CONNECTICUT WARBLERS this week included birds reported from Central
Park Monday and Thursday, Battery Park Tuesday and Prospect Park and
Green-wood Cemetery today. A large variety of other warblers have included
a few MOURNINGS and about 26 other species this week.

SUMMER TANAGERS were reported from Central Park Monday and Prospect Park
Tuesday while single BLUE GROSBEAKS were found on Governors Island
Wednesday and in Green-wood Cemetery yesterday and today. A DICKCISSEL also
visited Governors Island last Saturday.

Other migrants have included OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER, PHILADELPHIA VIREO,
GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH and LINCOLN'S SPARROW.
