[nysbirds-l] Townsend’s Warbler Brooklyn

[Patricia Lindsay]

The Townsend’s Warbler found by Doug Gochfeld yesterday at Fort Greene Park 
continues. When I left at 1:10 it was very active in the trees uphill from the 
Kona Wiesel bench Doug mentioned in his email.
Good luck if you try for it.

[nysbirds-l] N.Y. County, NYC - thru 11/16 (migrants, lingerers, some uncommon birds, etc.)

[Tom Fiore]

It might be noted that the Black-throated GRAY Warbler seen in Nassau County 
NY’s Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area, found on 11/15 and by M. Farina, and 
then again re-found *Wed. 11/16* by P. Palladino there, and seen by at least 
several others subsequently (and photos made) *was also* still seen into the 
afternoon, although fairly clear (by reports offered) it had become tough to 
see in the conditions and the habitat the bird’s been moving in.  Hopefully 
some further -and positive- sightings & reports will be made.

—
The (now two) Brown Boobies have been continuing to be found off the north 
shore of Staten Island (Richmond County, N.Y. City), thru 11/16, while also 
being seen from New Jersey as well.  The most regular watch-point in Staten 
Island sightings continued to be from Richmond Terrace and Northfield Ave. at 
the waterfront, staring at the Marker #22.   When a C.B.C. might get this 
species on the upcoming count[s], 'not-to-worry' as the count-circle for that 
area can include both states (and does :-) - a not-that-rare situation in U.S. 
CBC’s, although somewhat more so for dual or more counties within just 1 state. 
Of course, as with other birds of mainly-tropical or subtropical origins, the 
Boobies may choose to move south, as our weather goes towards winter.

- - - -
New York County (in N.Y. City), including Manhattan, Randall’s Island, and 
Governors Island
recent days, into Wed., November 16th -

A Lesser Black-backed Gull was again found at the kayak-dock of Pier 32 on the 
Hudson River (A. Evans) in lower Manhattan, on Tues., 11/15, thus a possible 
lingerer, or at least a ‘returnee’ to that location.  At least 3 Long-tailed 
Ducks seen along the Hudson Riverfrom the Dyckman Street pier and nearby 
Dyckman fields part of Inwood Hill Park on Sun., 11/13 followed the sighting of 
at least 4 Common Mergansers seen there on Sat., 11/12 by multiple observers.   
N. Pintails (2, drake and hen) have appeared at the reservoir in Central Park, 
adding to the waterfowl assortment that has been gathering there & elsewhere in 
that park.  A few Wood Ducks have continued in Central as have Hooded 
Mergansers along with other ‘usuals’ there. A Mute Swan was again seen off 
Inwood Hill Park’s n. edge, to 11/14, and 2 of that swan species were still 
around Randall’s Isalnd to 11/16.   American Woodcocks were still being found 
in a number of areas (and locations) in the county, thru 11/16.

A minimum of 50 (& - likely more) Bonaparte’s Gulls were again found on the 
Hudson River to the north of the G.W. Bridge (seen off n. Manhattan) on Sun., 
11/13 - and some of (or poss, still even that many) these gulls also seen from 
some points in Bergen Co., New Jersey and from southwest Westchester Co., NY 
(along the same stretches of the Hudson river, feeding / loafing / and 
in-flight at times). There were still at least a flock of ‘dozens’ of 
Bonaparte’s Gull on the river off the west Bronx, on 11/16 later in the day 
there.  It will be very interesting to see if this species continues on at all 
in that area, not unprecedented for the Hudson, of course, but unusual in the 
modern era as lingering birds, in those numbers, on that stretch of the great 
river-estuary.  (Many Ring-billed Gulls as well as some of the other typical 
gulls here have been found in numbers as well, lately around there.)   
Elsewhere (mostly) there have been ongoing Laughing Gulls with at least a few 
still showing up at the Central Park reservoir, intermittently (which is not at 
all unprecedented into Nov. in the modern era).  More of the ‘Laughers’ are 
being found in and nearer to N.Y. Harbor, including within some NY County 
waters.

An Osprey has been most-unusually lingering IN Central Park recently, often at 
'The Lake’ shores. That species has also been seen elsewhere, and however 
sightings into November are no longer extremely-unusual in the region 
(southeast N.Y. state & beyond), while any December sighting would be a bit 
more unusual, & thus more-notable. Also by Tues., a Bald Eagle was out in the 
Central Park reservoir’s central ‘divider-dike’, where that species has shown 
other years. (Plenty of other Bald Eagle sightings have occurred in the county 
lately, most -as usual- being fly-overs, however.)  At least a few 
Red-shouldered Hawks continue to be seen in the county, and that species is 
increasingly possible as a wintering bird in the region, and certainly can and 
will occur as a migrant as well even into December. There’ve been excellent 
migration-movements of that buteo species in the region in recent weeks (and 
for all of the actual-fall season, really.) This month and even Dec. can 
feature good movements of Red-tailed Hawks, including moving past N.Y. County, 
varying in their numbers one year to another on late-fall movements.

Of multiple recent Lincoln’s Sparrow reports, a recent photo’d. sighting 
included one at Bryant Park, midtown Manhattan to at least 11/16. [Red] Fox 
Sparrows
