 Regarding swallow and martin species, we saw a very early Purple Martin this 
afternoon at Montauk Point flying in the vicinity of the restaurant. We first 
saw it around 3:45 and again one hour later when we returned from a walk on the 
beach. It disappeared around 5 PM.

 The CT-birding list has been hopping and this Sat., 3/19, a report came in 
(from T. Murray) of a Say’s Phoebe, from the “Sikorsky Airport” at Stratford, 
**Connecticut**; if fully confirmed, that could be another bird where one might 
wonder, a long-distance arrival? (What had happened to the Say’s Phoebe of Long 
Island NY… and how far had that bird moved, when it moved…?)

… … 
New York County (in N.Y. City) including Manhattan, Randall’s Island, and 
Governors Island, and waters around, + skies above...

Saturday, March 19th - the last *full day* of winter - 

2 Western Tanagers both continue on in Manhattan, each seen by (or before) 
about mid-day, respectively at Clinton Community Garden on W. 48th St. just 
east of Tenth Ave., and around the same hour, over at Carl Schurz Park on the 
far-east side, east of East End Ave. & (as often is there) just south of the 
main entrance of the park at E. 86th St., up a flight of steps to where a 
feeder array invites a variety of birds (or, as another way of stating that 
location, just west of the n.w. gate of the Catbird Playground in the same 
park) - the Carl Schurz Park bird seen by multiple obs. again.

Great Egrets arrived in the multiple, with fly-overs & a couple of (brief?) 
touch-downs thru the mid-afternoon from a number of N.Y. County vantage-points 
(and with multiple observers at those points) which included fly-overs of at 
least 2 (probably more) across Central Park, as well as past Governors Island, 
past Randall’s Island, & past the south and north tips of Manhattan; perhaps 
some other sightings as well.  Black-crowned Night-Heron also are back, 
including in Central Park, pretty much on-schedule. (We have no very recent 
sightings / reports of Yellow-crowned, but that may change, as actual spring 
comes on.)

Tree Swallows were seen over the n. end of Central Park, with at least a few 
briefly looking around at the “Meer” area but seemingly moving on (north), 
while others were lingering (again) at Governors Island, & some also showing 
again at Randall’s Island.  It’s worth keeping eyes-out for other swallow and 
martin species.  Some mostly-modest flocks of blackbirds (icterids) have been 
on the move and they’ve included Red-winged Blackbirds & Common Grackles, with 
much smaller no’s. of Brown-headed Cowbird and at least a few Rusty Blackbirds 
also moving (and some lingering in some locations).

Warblers of the day include (at least) 2 Orange-crowned Warblers that both 
wintered succesfully, one on Randall’s Island, and another at the Battery & 
adjacent park-land;  Pine Warblers in several locations - including in Central 
Park, as well as Riverside Park (north of W. 106th Street), and 
ongoing-wintering thru [Myrtle] Yellow-rumped Warblers, although the latter 
posssibly being supplemented with some showing up more-recently; greatest no’s. 
of these still seem to be on Governors Island, but are present elsewhere, 
including in Central Park. There are also at least 2 ongoing Ovenbirds in 
Manhattan - & there just might be some other survivors of an up-down winter, 
among warblers that tried to get through this one, in the county.

Duckage has still included some variety with Ring-necked Duck (drake, again on 
C.P. reservoir), Hooded Mergansers, Ruddy Ducks, N. Shovelers, Buffleheads and 
Wood Duck just some of the species continuing to be found in Central Park, and 
some others in the county’s area-waters, esp. Red-breasted Mergansers.  
Cormorants of two species also are ongoing, with relatively few Great (in just 
a couple of sites in the county), and many Double-crested in ongoing recent 
movement.  Modest no’s. of Great Blue Herons have also been starting to move.  
Still few of Belted Kingfishers, and some (few) that had wintered had been 
moving around or onward.  American Coots have turned up in a couple of sites, 
besides the “usual one” of Central Park.

Purple Finch is a species to watch for; some have been showing, so far in 
modest no’s. in this county, but could possibly pick up more in coming weeks.  
There are plenty of lingering species still around, in Central Park that’s 
included Field & Chipping Sparrows (flock in the n. end of that park), along 
with [Red] Fox and Swamp Sparrows - and (many) Cedar Waxwings and both Kinglet 
species also ongoing in Central Park - as well as other county locations.

It was wonderful to be rewarded with the sights and sounds of woodcock last
night on my annual March trip to Poxabogue Pond. Although the birding was
slow during the hour leading up to their display that started around 7:15,
the other highlights were a bald eagle, and FOS osprey and great egret on
Little Poxabogue Pond.
And can't forget (or ignore) the peepers -- at times it was blissfully
deafening!

[nysbirds-l] whereabouts of "the" Slaty-backed Gull - to coastal Connecticut, 3/18

[Tom Fiore]

This is in reference to the gull first noted and reported by J. Nance in 
Fairfield County, Connecticut on Friday 3/18.  See the extensive notes and 
photos included in his eBird checklist report, linked below - for the 
Slaty-backed Gull, and why it just may be the bird that had caused quite a stir 
for many hundreds of observers in Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City) some many 
days ago… and this could also beg the question, where had this gull been 
languishing un-noticed for a good while in the interim from then to this 
Friday?  (that is, on an assumption it is that same very-rare gull.)

https://ebird.org/alert/summary?sid=SN35614

Acting as messenger on this latest, I was not present for the CT sighting on 
3/18; multiple other CT-birders were, however.
