[~BEGIN RBA TAPE~]

Greetings!  This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, June 10,
2022 at 8:00 pm.

The highlights of today's tape are slightly extralimital NEOTROPIC
CORMORANT and SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER, BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING DUCK,
WHITE-WINGED DOVE, MAGNIFICENT FRIGATEBIRD, BROWN PELICAN, ARCTIC
TERN, WHITE-FACED IBIS, BLACK-HEADED GULL, BLACK-NECKED STILT,
MISSISSIPPI KITE, RED-NECKED PHALAROPE, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK
and more.

A great week for unusual birds locally and even slightly
extralimitally, with a NEOTROPIC CORMORANT continuing along the
Newburgh waterfront and an adult SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER visiting
the Stony Hill Farm EEC just across the Hudson River in Wappingers
Falls yesterday and today.

On Long Island, four BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING DUCKS were seen today
along Willets Creek in West Islip, though pinning them down may be an
issue, as they were last seen moving south.

At Jones Beach West End, a WHITE-WINGED DOVE was spotted near the
restrooms yesterday, associating with the ROCK PIGEON flock, and has
continued there today.

Also, among the many shorebirds feasting on Horseshoe Crab eggs there
has been a RED-NECKED PHALAROPE, still present today, though wrongly
referred to on last week's tape as a Wilson's Phalarope.

Another MAGNIFICENT FRIGATEBIRD sighting involved one moving east past
Robert Moses State Park last Saturday, while two BROWN PELICANS seen
along the coast featured one going east past Nickerson Beach on
Tuesday followed by one headed west off Robert Moses State Park today.

Nickerson Beach has also attracted a nice variety of TERNS, including
an ARCTIC seen briefly last Saturday, when an adult BLACK TERN was
also present, plus occasional ROSEATE and GULL-BILLED TERNS as well as
a few LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS in various plumages.  A CASPIAN TERN
was photographed off Inwood Hill Park last Tuesday.

At Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge an adult WHITE-FACED IBIS was
photographed at the south end of the East Pond, where a first summer
BLACK-HEADED GULL was also present, both of these seen on Tuesday
along with an apparently lingering LEAST BITTERN, another of which was
still at Prospect Park last weekend.

A BLACK-NECKED STILT was present last Saturday and Sunday on the bay
side at Tiana Beach off Dune Road in Hampton Bays, and a WHIMBREL
stopped by Breezy Point on Monday and Tuesday.

A drake KING EIDER was reported in Reynolds Channel off Atlantic Beach
last Saturday.

Offshore in the Atlantic, as viewed from Robert Moses State Park on
Thursday, a few CORY’S and GREAT SHEARWATERS have begun appearing
along with continuing SOOTY SHEARWATERS, but unfortunately some
deceased Shearwaters have also been found along ocean beaches from
Moses out to Montauk.

Indicating that some continue in our region, on Wednesday a
MISSISSIPPI KITE flew west by the Audubon Center in north Greenwich,
headed towards Westchester.

RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS continue along the Paumanok Trail off Schultz
Road in Manorville and at the Rockefeller State Park Preserve in
Westchester.

YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER is still present at the Bayard Cutting
Arboretum in Great River, and the Calverton Grasslands continue to
host a male SUMMER TANAGER, a few BLUE GROSBEAKS and several
GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS.

To phone in reports call Tom Burke at (914) 967-4922.

This service is sponsored by the Linnaean Society of New York and the
National Audubon Society.  Thank you for calling.

[nysbirds-l] Mississippi Kites - nesting in southern Saratoga County

[Richard Guthrie]

Passing on the current status:

Nesting is CONFIRMED based on the observation of them carrying nesting
material (sticks) to the suspected nesting location.

The birds were seen this morning, Friday, June 10 after a no-show
yesterday.

They are in a rather heavily wooded residential neighborhood and tend to
disappear behind private houses and out of sight. But they will
occasionally fly up above the treetops and would then be visible from
public viewing places along the several winding residential roads in the
area.

The neighbors, thus far, have been welcoming for the most part. But as
usual, care, courtesy, and concern should be displayed by all visitors.
That should go without saying. But bears a reminder.

The most favorable location to watch for these birds is near the
intersection of Meridian St and Ridge Ln which are off Ushers Road / off
Exit 10 of the Adirondack Northway (I-87)  in southern Saratoga County
(just north of Albany).

Good luck if you try for them and please keep us posted either through
eBird or the Hudson-Mohawk Bird Club website - www...hmbc.net or listserve

[nysbirds-l] Mississippi Kites continue in Saratoga County

[zach schwartz-weinstein]

Hi,

The Saratoga county MIKIs are still present and were observed this morning
despite negative reports yesterday.  On Wednesday, one bird was observed
carrying nesting material and it is certain that the pair is indeed nesting
nearby, likely on inaccessible private property.  If you go, please be
respectful of the neighbors, who have been really great about all of the
birders thus far, as well as of the birds.
