Re: [nysbirds-l] Question re parking at Breezy Point, Queens
Thanks for this, Jim. My only quibble with what you’ve said is that the change was in requiring a permit year-round. Previously, birders could use the lots from mid-November through mid-March without needing a permit. No birds are nesting then, and one assumes that the nude beach is fairly empty. 略 I’ve rarely seen surfers or anglers out there in winter, and the lot has never been full. I understand the need to restrict the crowds during beach season, but the decision to exclude birders in February seems arbitrary, especially on non-holiday weekdays.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Question re parking at Breezy Point, Queens
I looked into it a little more, and one problem is that even though I’m willing to buy a permit, there is no plan nor projected date for when they will start selling the 2022 permit, even though the permit season starts February 1. The only people who can park legally in the meantime are existing 2021 permit holders. It seems unjust that one can only park with a valid permit, which is not available for purchase at this time.

[nysbirds-l] Painted Bunting reappeared
The Painted Bunting that was seen in February in a private yard in Pearl River, Rockland County reappeared this week. It’s only coming in very sporadically every few days, but the homeowner got a photo this morning. I’ll be reporting it on her behalf, since she’s not a birder. Unfortunately I can’t go today or tomorrow and the bird is not visible except from inside her house. Interesting that it’s still around, and I’m wondering where it’s going when it’s absent from her feeders. It was gone for about three weeks before it reappeared.

[nysbirds-l] Painted Bunting
There’s a male Painted Bunting coming to backyard feeders in Pearl River, Rockland County. The homeowner is not a birder. She sent me a description on Thursday, and a photo on Friday. I was able to see photograph the bird this morning, Saturday. Unfortunately the feeders are not visible from the street, and after careful consideration and a lot of discussion, the owner has declined to allow birders in her backyard. I’ll be putting a photo on eBird later. I’ve already done so on the Facebook New York Birders page.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park
I was there today and the number of redpolls was down slightly (12-13), and I definitely did not see a Hoary. In other news, I was told that the brazen meadowlark was taken by a Red-tailed Hawk this morning. I know there were more than one, but didn’t see any others.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Possible Ferruginous Hawk Orange co.
According to GPS maps, the road everyone was on is Cedar Swamp Road. Nobody was running into farm fields, blocking farm vehicles or the like. Everyone was respectful and polite. The landowner in question indicated that the entire road is private and asked everyone to leave, which we did. I think the question is whether Cedar Swamp Road itself is a public or private road. There is no signage indicating it is private, so if it is, birders need to know.

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point YB Cuckoo and Blackpoll
Highlights near the croton point landfill today included a Yellow-billed Cuckoo, flushed from the path below the landfill on the southeast side. It flew into the vines nearby and was vocalizing.

The Trumpeter Swan is currently here but hard to see, about 1/4 mile south of Nyack Beach State Park. It's behind a private dock with an American flag, between the dock and a pink house.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown 5/9 more
Though not as full of transient migrants as Central Park perhaps, there were plenty of birds along Doodletown Road this morning. I tallied 15 species of warbler including the previously reported Kentucky, Hooded, Cerulean, Worm-eating, Nashville, Blue-winged, Black-throated Blue, Prairie, Yellow, Common Yellowthroat, Ovenbird, Black and White, Redstart, Yellow-rumped, La. Waterthrush. Also many Yellow-throated, Warbling, Blue-headed and Red-eyed Vireos. Scarlet Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Indigo Bunting, nesting Gnatcatchers, Great-crested Flycatcher and Phoebe, Veery and Wood Thrush, and both Spotted and Solitary Sandpipers. To clarify in response to a question, both Kentucky Warblers were singing. I heard two individuals, one near the bridge and one several hundred yards up the hill beyond.

[nysbirds-l] Sterling Forest, Ironwood Drive powerline
Together with Adele Gotlib, I spent the day walking the power line cut and the Sterling Valley trail at Sterling Forest today. We were disturbed to see that crews with chainsaws were hard at work along the north right-of-way, usually the more productive direction for Golden-winged Warblers. I understand that the right-of-way needs to be maintained, but the timing seems less than ideal for the warblers. Since the noise was disruptive, we walked south, and saw only one Blue-winged and 2 Golden-winged Warblers. We did see Prairie, Indigo Bunting, Field and Chipping Sparrows, Great-crested Flycatcher and Yellow-throated Vireos, and a pair of Broad-winged Hawks along the power line. We then turned southwest to follow the Sterling Valley trail to the lake. The birding was tough and bugs abundant, but we saw Worm-eating, Cerulean, Black-and-white, Ovenbird, Black-throated Green and Yellow Warblers, and an abundance of Scarlet Tanagers. Wood Ducks were on the pond, and there was a pair of Kingbirds at the lake. I won't list all the birds here, but we concluded with an Eagle flying over. Bald is the expected species. but the bird was completely silhouetted and any markings were obscured. It definitely had no white at all on the head and tail, but it was impossible to see the mottling, if any, on the body. Still, an exciting conclusion to a good day!

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown 5/10/15
I spent a lovely day with Deborah Alperin and Janet Wooten in Doodletown. Though there were not a lot of non-breeding migrants, we did see (or at least hear) most of the birds we sought. Plenty of Hooded and Cerulean Warblers, a singing Kentucky, which we heard but did not see both along the road past the reservoir and on Lemon Road, Yellow-throated Vireo, lots of Yellow-billed Cuckoos and Indigo Buntings, Baltimore Orioles and Scarlet Tanagers. Beautiful breeding plumaged Tennessees, several Worm-eating Warblers being cooperative and Parula, Blue-winged, Black-and whites, Yellow, and Redstarts. A single Veery and several Wood Thrushes were the only thrushes. There were very few flycatchers- only a E. Phoebe at the dam and an Eastern Kingbird at Iona Island. Very few sparrows- singles only of Song, White-throat and Chipping. No Towhee or Ovenbird, both of which are normally common by now. Oddly, no Chipmunks! In the non-bird department, we saw a Falcate Orangetip near the bottom of the road, and some herps, including a rattlesnake. Another party saw a Black Bear cub, and presumably Mom was nearby, since it was Mother's Day!

I high-tailed it down to Jane and Washington after landing at LGA this afternoon but despite about 20 people searching, from about 3:15 until dark the Couch's Kingbird was not located. Does anyone know where it goes to roost? Any sense of the best late afternoon spot?

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown Road, May 13
Two friends and I had a great day at Doodletown today. We saw 60+ species. Many birds are on territory, including Hooded and Cerulean Warblers, Louisiana Waterthushes and Indigo Buntings. We observed both Cerulean Warblers and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers on nests. There were lots of migrants as well, including at least a dozen Tennessee Warblers, Canadas, Chestnut-sided and more. Another highlight was watching 4 male Indigo Buntings chasing each other endlessly. I definitely recommend a visit!

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, May 12
My overall impression of birding today is that whilst numbers are down from the weekend, there are plenty of great birds to see. I started at the Pool where I saw a Solitary Sandpiper on the grass, and where there were surprising numbers of Northern Waterthrush. I saw at least 6 in the first 10 minutes. Unfortunately I was called out of the park, but returned to the Ramble at about 11 AM. I will not list all that I saw but the highlights were just that: a very cooperative Bay-breasted Warbler near the boat concession by the Boathouse, followed closely by a Prothonotary Warbler at the Point, and a very skulky Yellow-breasted Chat seen 3 times by me, and finally by others at the Maintenance Meadow. I capped off the afternoon by seeing a Clay-colored Sparrow just southeast of the playground at the 85th and CPW entrance to the park. There had reportedly been 2 there earlier, with another reported from Strawberry Fields.

[nysbirds-l] Ft. Tryon Park 5/04/14
I had a great couple of mid-morning hours birding Ft. Tryon Park this morning. The winds were gusty on the park's western slope, and most birds were seen on the eastern wooded slope below the Cloisters. Birds are not as numerous as Central Park, but the path is at canopy height and I had great eye-level close views of many species. The 13 species if warbler included Nashville( 2 males), Parula (many), Black-throated Green, Black-throated Blue, Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, Palm, Worm-eating, Redstart, Black-and-white, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow-rumped and Ovenbird. There were both Blue-headed and Warbling vireos, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, at least 3 Scarlet Tanagers, an Indigo Bunting, both Orchard and Baltimore Orioles and a Rose-breasted Grosbeak. The only thrush I saw was Hermit. Also seen were House Wren, many Ruby-crowned Kinglets, a Barn Swallow and a Wood Pewee. I looked for the previously reported Yellow-throated Warbler, but didn't find it. Happy Birding!
