Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, September 6th 2019
at 9pm. The highlights of today's tape are BROWN BOOBY, WHITE-FACED
STORM-PETREL, AMERICAN AVOCET, AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER, BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER,
BAIRD'S SANDPIPER, MARBLED GODWIT, LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER, CATTLE EGRET,
YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT, PROTHONOTARY WARBLER and DICKCISSEL.
But first some terribly sad news. Today we lost a wonderful friend. Rich Kelly
has finally succumbed to the cancer he had been fighting for awhile now. An
excellent all round naturalist and a great field companion. Rich's extensive
knowledge was equally matched by his clever sense of humor and we will miss him
dearly.
Continuing the recent trend of shore based sightings last Monday morning during
a seawatch an adult BROWN BOOBY was seen moving east off Robert Moses State
Park field 2 and was carefully differentiated from the several immature
NORTHERN GANNETS also going by. On a fishing boat last Tuesday visiting Block
Canyon on the eastern edge of New York pelagic waters reported one WHITE-FACED,
2 LEACH'S and 24 WILSON'S STORM-PETRELS, 3 CORY'S and 5 GREAT SHEARWATERS and a
PARASITIC JAEGER. From onshore last Monday a WILSON'S STORM-PETREL was reported
off Rockaway Beach and a GREAT SHEARWATER was seen in Long Island Sound off
Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai.
Among the shorebirds an AMERICAN AVOCET continued at Mecox Bay at least to
Wednesday while the first local BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER appeared last Friday at
Rockaway Beach in Edgemere. Somewhat behind schedule this year an AMERICAN
GOLDEN-PLOVER visited Heckscher State Park last weekend and another flew over
Hillview reservoir in Yonkers Wednesday. Another nice visitor to Heckscher was
a BAIRD'S SANDPIPER frequenting the puddles at field 7 from Saturday to
Wednesday and Sunday the puddles included our 5 regular peeps side-by-side
including single WESTERN and WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS. A WHIMBREL also visited
Heckscher Sunday and at least 4 MARBLED GODWITS were still at Cupsogue County
Park in West Hampton Dunes on Wednesday. Last Sunday LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS
were found at Santapogue Creek off Venetian Boulevard in West Babylon with at
least 4 very faded adults present there with dozens of GREATER YELLOWLEGS and a
few juvenile SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS.
A visit to the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge last Sunday produced
multiples of WESTERN SANDPIPER, STILT SANDPIPER and PECTORAL SANDPIPERS but the
conditions were very difficult due to the much too high water level this
keeping the overall shorebird numbers to well below desired levels. Please
express your disapproval of the East Pond's management to Gateway personnel. A
CASPIAN TERN and numbers of BLUE-WINGED TEAL and GREEN-WINGED TEAL were also
present.
Other shorebirds of note today featured a lingering STILT SANDPIPER at Miller
Field on Staten Island, a PECTORAL SANDPIPER at Brooklyn's Plumb Beach and 5
WESTERN SANDPIPERS at Nickerson Beach. Twenty-six LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS
were counted at Robert Moses State Park today.
A CATTLE EGRET was at the Marine Park Salt Marsh

[nysbirds-l] Eared Grebe, Pelham Bay Park, Bronx
While kayaking in the Bronx late this afternoon I found an Eared Grebe just South-West of the City island bridge along the Pelham Bay shore (i.e. just East of Rodman Neck). The current and waves in the channel together with the diving activity of the grebe made the documentation challenging by kayak but I got several pictures. The bird was observed together with an Horned Grebe which enabled nice comparisons. The 2 Grebes seemed to go back and forth between the bridge and Rodman neck.

Re: [ebirdsnyc] Re: [nysbirds-l] Pacific Loon, Fort Tilden, Queens (12/10/17)
I received 3 answers from people having experience with Pacific Loons and they concluded on Common, a recurrent argument was the shape of the bill and head which are in the range for Common Loon. I had never seen a Common Loon in this transition plumage (especially without a broken black border on neck and with this chinstrap) so this was interesting. I updated the ebird report accordingly. Many thanks to the people that contributed.

[nysbirds-l] Breezy Point, November 19: Great Shearwater, Jaegers, Kittiwake, Iceland and Lesser BB Gull.
I spent the day yesterday seawatching from Breezy point in Queens. Since the West wind was very strong, I ended up lying down on top of a dune in the morning to stay steady and at lower tide during the afternoon I used the dike as a partial shelter. Highlights were: 1 Great Shearwater, flying against the wind close to shore (poor documenting photos in ebird list below, taken from the dune). 2 Jaeger sp. (1 juv. light form and 1 dark form. Too distant for safe species ID.) 1 ad. Black-legged Kittiwake 1 Iceland Gull 1 Lesser black-backed Gull 4 Royal Terns 8300 Northern Gannets in flight West bound, mainly in the morning; groups of several hundred birds fishing during the afternoon.

I am not sure if this was reported as yet to the list serves. Robert DeCandido
and Deborah Allen found a Black-headed Gull this AM at Pelham Bay. I think was
near the Lagoon area.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Islands, Oct 15 - Marbled Godwit
I did my first fall 2017 kayaking trip around Jamaica Bay Islands yesterday. Highlight was a Marbled Godwit on the East shore of Little Egg marsh. Last year I saw 1 to 3 individuals of this species around Little Egg March and the Ruffle Bar on every trip made in September/October/November so it is potentially a regular species there in small numbers. Modest numbers of shorebirds overall but interestingly all the shorebird groups were exactly at the same position as last fall. Illustrated checklist here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S39968669 Other sightings included: 274 Greater Yellowlegs at high tide on the docks and poles East of the Cross Bay boulevard between roads 10 and 14 (with 10 Short-billed Dowitchers and 5 Lesser Yellowlegs mixed in). 1 Nelson's sparrow (Westmost part of Big Egg marsh), also 7 Saltmarch/Nelson's in this area. 12 Red Knots (Little Egg Marsh, North-East flat as usual). 2 Belted kingfisher harassing 2 Double-crested Cormorants to perch on the highest poles.

It looks like Bronx might be the place for shorebirding and the locals might
want to level up their game.
Brendan Fogarty just called to report 2 Red-necked Phalaropes in the puddles at
Orchard Beach Pelham Bay, Bronx.
Many thanks to Brendan for the find and prompt report. Long Island representing

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay, November 13, Marbled Godwits
Hi, I birded by kayak yesterday along Little Egg marsh and the Ruffle bar in Jamaica Bay. The highlight was 2 Marbled Godwits feeding very efficiently on the East tip of the Ruffle bar mudflats at low tide (pictures in the ebird list: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32560259). They were exactly at the same spot than 2 of the 3 Godwits I got during my last visit on October 16. I've seen this species in this area since September 17. Other birds seen during the day included over 1550 Dunlins (mainly on Little Egg marsh mudflats), 4 Red knots, 6 Sanderlings, 164 Black bellied plovers, 21 Oystercatchers, 182 Black ducks, over 5000 Brants and 72 Red-breasted Mergansers.

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay by kayak, August 14 (& 8), incl. Black-headed Gull & American golden Plover
Since most of the birding reports from Jamaica come from the ponds, I was curious to see what was elsewhere in the bay. I've kayaked most of the bay last Sunday (August 7), checking all the islands on each side of Cross Bay Boulevard mainly to look for attractive areas for shorebirds. Richard Aracil joined me yesterday for a second full day kayak trip focused in the areas that seemed to be the most productive last Sunday: Ruffle bar (at high tide), little egg marsh sand bar (at high tide), Rulers bar and Black Wall Marsh, the latter having the highest diversity apart from just around high tide. Birds were remarkably tolerant of the kayak. Highlights of these 2 trips are: *-*Black-headed Gull: 1 first summer, Black Wall Marsh, on August 14 spotted by Richard. Picture here with other pictures from both days: https://flic.kr/s/aHskGwNh2M. Potentially the same bird as the one found last week by Isaac Grant on the East pond. *-* American golden Plover: 1 seen on August 14 while it was landing on Black Wall Marsh with a group of Black bellied Plovers and Dowitchers. *-* Gull-billed Tern: 2 on August 14 (Black Wall Marsh), 1 on August 7 (Jacks Hole creek) *-* Tricolored Heron: 2 on August 14 (flying towards Yellow Bar Hassock), 1 on August 7 (Yellow Bar Hassock). *-* Pectoral Sandpiper: 2, Ruffle bar on August 7. *-* Both Willets: 13 willets on August 7 (the ones I could assign were Eastern type, on Little egg marsh sand bar), 5 on August 14, a bird in the water along the Ruffle bar with typical Western characteristics (straight, slim & long bill, long primaries, pale gray on back and wings, white breast, abrupt front, was feeding in rather deep water). It flew before it could be well documented. *-*Royal Tern: 7 on August 14 (2 ad. in nuptial plumage on the Ruffle bar, 3 ad. in non breeding plumage with 2 juveniles on Black Wall Marsh) ; 1 in non breeding plumage on August 7 in Black Wall Marsh with a ring on the right leg. *-* Purple Martin: 1 ad on August 14 (Little Egg marsh sand bar) *-* Bank Swallows: 3 on August 7 (Ruffle bar), 1 on August 14 (Ruffle bar). Regarding common shorebirds, the largest groups were (around high tide): - Short-billed Dowitchers: ~ 250 on Black Wall Marsh and Rulers bar on August 14 ; 140 at Little egg marsh sand bar on August 7, - Oystercatchers: 205 on the 14th on the Ruffle bar ; 136 on Ruffle bar and Little egg march sand bar on the 7th. - Semipalmated Plovers: 470 on Ruffle bar on the 7th, ~ 350 on the 14th on Black Wall Marsh / Rulers bar. - Semipalmated Sandpipers: 360 on Ruffle bar on the 7th, ~ 280 on the 14th on Black Wall Marsh / Rulers bar. - Black-bellied Plovers: ~ 200 on Black Wall Marsh on the 14th on on Black Wall Marsh, 80 on Jack Hole creek on the 7th. - Ruddy Turnstone: 80 on August 14, Black Wall Marsh. - Least Sandpiper: 40 on August 14, Black Wall Marsh. We'll put soon all the sightings and counts on ebirds lists by islands. I unfortunately won't be available for the NYC Shorebird Blitz this fall but the use of kayaks (with proper training) can be very efficient to count the shorebirds in areas that are hard/impossible/forbidden to access on foot. Some non bird sightings included 10-12 Diamondback Terrapin on Sunday 14 and many big Cownose rays on Sunday 7 with females holding the tip of their pectoral fins out of the water.

[nysbirds-l] Pelham Bay: more Cliff swallows
Hi, I was interested to check the status of the Cliff swallow along Pelham Bay shore this year. A kayaking trip there this week revealed the presence of at least 19 Cliff swallows along the shore, active in 10 completed or ongoing nests on 2 sites: - 14 adults active in 7 completed nests on the South-West side of the City Island temporary bridge, close to Pelham Bay shore. I assumed for that count that the same swallow don't enter more than one nest. - at least 5 adults building 3 nests on the East side of Pelham Bridge (2 pairs on the South-East side, and at least one individual building a nest on the North-East part). These ongoing "nests" are in a very early stage. As last year, the flying adults give great views from the side walk of that bridge. So if the 2 nests found by Jack Rothman on the Orchard Beach buildings are still active, there are 11 or 12 active Cliff swallow pairs in the Pelham Bay area. This is still modest compared to some colonies upstate but it seems it keeps increasing: 2 pairs in 2010 (Richard Aracil and Jared Cole, first e-bird nesting account for the location), 7 pairs in 2015 (J.

[nysbirds-l] Pelham Bay: more Cliff swallows
Hi, I was interested to check the status of the Cliff swallow along Pelham Bay shore this year. A kayaking trip there this week revealed the presence of at least 19 Cliff swallows along the shore, active in 10 completed or ongoing nests on 2 sites: - 14 adults active in 7 completed nests on the South-West side of the City Island temporary bridge, close to Pelham Bay shore. I assumed for that count that the same swallow don't enter more than one nest. - at least 5 adults building 3 nests on the East side of Pelham Bridge (2 pairs on the South-East side, and at least one individual building a nest on the North-East part). These ongoing "nests" are in a very early stage. As last year, the flying adults give great views from the side walk of that bridge. So if the 2 nests found by Jack Rothman on the Orchard Beach buildings are still active, there are 11 or 12 active Cliff swallow pairs in the Pelham Bay area. This is still modest compared to some colonies upstate but it seems it keeps increasing: 2 pairs in 2010 (Richard Aracil and Jared Cole, first e-bird nesting account for the location), 7 pairs in 2015 (J. Rothman and myself, second nesting account). The main change this year is the successful adoption of the new City Island temporary bridge. Hopefully the future City Island bridge will provide similar nesting opportunities as the current one. ebird checklist with some pictures here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S30488854 Matthieu PS.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Cliff Swallow Nest in the Bronx
Hi, Regarding the Cliff Swallows in the Bronx, I did a kayak trip along Pelham Bay park shore on June 7 during which I saw 12 Cliff Swallows. Two together hunting along the North shore of Hunter Island, 2 pairs below the City Island bridge, flying in and out 2 specific points of the bridge (the boat traffic and the current did not enable me to check that there were nests however) and 3 pairs on the North-East side of Pelham Bay Bridge: 1 pair in a completed nest and 2 others that seemed to build new nests next to the completed one. During a visit last Sunday I saw however only one pair, in the completed nest (still active). These Cliff swallows were also easily seen in flight from the walk on Pelham Bridge. Orchard beach was not covered during that trip as kayaking is not allowed along it so it's good one nest was found here too. So with the nest reported by Jack Rothman there are at least 2 active nests in Pelham Bay and likely more nests on the multiple bridges and edifices in that area. As mentioned by Deborah Allen, 2 actives nests were reported on the southernmost arch of Pelham Bay Bridge in 2010 (Jared Cole & Richard Aracil) so the nesting of these species is not new in that area not birded a lot during the breeding season. Here is a link with 2 pictures of the active nest on Pelham Bay Bridge, taken on June 7 (presence of older or aborted nests is obvious on the pictures). I'll post on ebird soon. https://www.flickr.com/gp/134171131@N08/szNtCk Best, Matthieu BENOIT On 07/16/2015 04:50 PM, Jack Rothman wrote: Brendan Keogh, aka Bronx Brendan, found an active Cliff Swallow nest at Orchard Beach.
