Re: [nysbirds-l] MacGillivrays Warbler, W. 231 St., Bronx NYC Thursday 12/28
Tom thanks for all the updates. This bird really shows the importance of helping out on a Christmas Bird Count. I am not a Bronx birder but since a “stakeout location” was added to ebird for it in a mixed commercial/residential street in Riverdale it seems quite likely that but for the CBC and the great find by NYS Young birder Julian Batiste and Tom, the Macgillivrays Warbler may never have been reported or even noticed by anyone. Indeed who knows how long it lingered before the CBC? I believe there still remain a few counts in the metropolitan area (Putnam County I know is 1/2/2024) and maybe that extra set of eyes will spot an unexpected warbler or even a red flanked bluetail - well not likely on the latter. So if you didn’t do a count this year please do one (or more) next year. L. Trachtenberg Ossining.

[nysbirds-l] Westchester Red Headed Woodpecker bonanza. A few questions
There have been (at least) four RHWP in Westchester over the past two weeks — a pair staying now more than two weeks at croton point by model airplane field, one at least through yesterday for about a week at Marshlands, and one seen today Blue Mountain Reservation (Peekskill). All four are immature birds the two at CPP I have seen caching acorns. I was curious and perhaps a woodpecker expert may know how common it would be to have four different RHWP at all in the county since each sighting makes the rare bird alert, then on top of that the likelihood of all 4 being immature, also curious how likely it is that one or both will over winter at CPP, and when if they do stay do they reach maturity and get that striking red head.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Northern Wheatear at Croton Point Landfill Westchester NY
I did two passes over landfill and along western edge w Kyle B, the second w a
group. No luck w Wheatear but good looks at the Uppie Kyle picked out flying
by. Nine raptor species including all three falcons and red shoulder, a bit
surprisingly no broadwing. Also, still very strong bobolink numbers (50 est.).
The three pipits were a fall first.

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] White-winged Tern @ Nickerson Beach Long Island, Nassau County.
I just saw an ebird post that a single use one day pass to park at this Nassau
County Park (for non-Nassau County residents) is $37 after 9 am (seriously),
but free before then. I have no idea if that is accurate or the cost for Nassau
County residents, but be guided accordingly

Re: [nysbirds-l] [GeneseeBirds-L] Limpkin - Niagara County
Thank you for updates and your efforts in rescuing this bird. I know Limpkin is a rarity outside of FL but I still question the carbon footprint of driving 10 hours or so (RT) to see a single bird to add to a State list. (I did notice a few folks bussed up from NYC; very commendable.) Now if you were vacationing in Buffalo in mid November that’s a different story (on many fronts). Best L.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher at Wave Hill?
Some of us choose not to do Facebook or Twitter for innumerable reasons. NYSBIRDS is a State list accessible to any and all (even beyond its borders). It is free to join for free merely with an email address and as far as I know doesn’t track your “likes”. It has no political bent and you need not know someone to join or perhaps do not want to join a closed eg WhatsApp group. How hard is the 20 seconds it may take to cross-post such an extremely rare bird (eg recently anhinga, neotropic cormorant (but not the upstate one I learned from weekly NYSBIRDS rare alert), loggerhead shrike, etc.) to this statewide list (and beyond), even if already posted to your venue of choice? As to Sulphur bellied fly, “I’ve been empty since Arizona”. (A nod to AE.) L.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher at Wave Hill?
Some of us choose not to do Facebook or Twitter for innumerable reasons. NYSBIRDS is a State list accessible to any and all (even beyond its borders). It is free to join for free merely with an email address and as far as I know doesn’t track your “likes”. It has no political bent and you need not know someone to join or perhaps do not want to join a closed eg WhatsApp group. How hard is the 20 seconds it may take to cross-post such an extremely rare bird (eg recently anhinga, neotropic cormorant (but not the upstate one I learned from weekly NYSBIRDS rare alert), loggerhead shrike, etc.) to this statewide list (and beyond), even if already posted to your venue of choice? As to Sulphur bellied fly, “I’ve been empty since Arizona”. (A nod to AE.) L.

[nysbirds-l] Black vulture behavior
On Saturday afternoon at Croton Point Park I had three black vultures two in and out of road picking at road kill; but the third was just sitting goose-like in the grass.

[nysbirds-l] Black crowned night heron question
On June 14 along the Sing Sing Kill at Ossining waterfront I photographed an adult breeding plumaged BCNH w bright pink legs. Sibley app did not mention and only showed birds w typical sickly yellowish legs. I got home and looked at NatGeo field guide which mentioned legs can be pink during “high breeding”. On 7/1, I photographed what I believe to be same adult in breeding plumage but legs were yellowish. Does this change to pink occur in all breeding bcnh, M and F?

[nysbirds-l] Yellow throated warbler Westchester County
In trying to keep up the cross posting Kevin McGrath found a Yellow Throated Warbler at Cranberry Lake Preserve in West Harrison. Quite a find for Westchester. Bird stayed cooperative giving good looks pretty high in trees on thicker branches by the lake for a bit mid afternoon not sure about later. No leaf out yet so was pretty easy to spot Nota Bene: If driving on Rtes 22/120 through New Castle (a bit N of the park) be aware of revenue generating cops if you’re a few miles over the limit especially right after speed limit is reduced).

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park
The birding at CPP the last several days has been excellent. There has been a very cooperative flock of common redpolls that has reached 25 or so birds moving a relatively short distance between a tree near maintenance yard to the landfill center path, on polls, I have even seen photos of redpolls landing on a scope. Also present are (at least) two Eastern Meadowlark and sporadic flocks of snow buntings and horned larks. Strong numbers of both Savannah and American Tree sparrows are also present. A few rough legged hawks and N. Harriers have been seen (briefly) joining resident red tails as well as cooper’s, red shoulder, several eagles and occasional falcon. If you come please stay on center and east side landfill paths and OFF of any side paths. Stated otherwise read the signs. L. Trachtenberg Ossining.

[nysbirds-l] Likely; Possibly; Maybe; perhaps Hoary Redpoll at Croton Point
This morning at just before 8 am feeding on path just before center landfill (across from maintenance yard) I noticed a single redpoll (fairly light not a lot of streaking) but a bird to say the least, which I am not that familiar and do not see often. It then moved into the landfill to feed on ground and was quite close and easily visible. I got the word out locally and a few folks with cameras got some quality photos that seem to indicate the bird was very likely hoary redpoll. Those far more expert than me have seen photos and seem to agree thanks to K. Lamb, B Strobino and S. Kavac. I am sure they will be posted on ebird. It stuck around for a while until a maintenance truck rumbling down the landfill path spooked it. The bird moved to a bush in the maintenance yard but shortly afterwards took off and headed south past RV park. We walked to Teller’s point and back but unfortunately couldn’t relocate. Pictures show frostier over all not much streaking white on rump. Per ebird hoary redpoll last confirmed in Westchester County 19 March 1978 L.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Possible Ferruginous Hawk Orange co.
I realize at least from what I have read (e.g. with a homeowner on the road w the “Camel Farm” (Rte 62) and Mission Land Road) that there have been issues between property owners in the black dirt region and birders. Obviously owners have a right in this Country to keep folks off their property (the means used is another issue). Cedar Swamp Road seems to run about 2.7 miles, may I ask what makes the road itself a “private” road? L.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Possible Ferruginous Hawk Orange co.
I realize at least from what I have read (e.g. with a homeowner on the road w the “Camel Farm” (Rte 62) and Mission Land Road) that there have been issues between property owners in the black dirt region and birders. Obviously owners have a right in this Country to keep folks off their property (the means used is another issue). Cedar Swamp Road seems to run about 2.7 miles, may I ask what makes the road itself a “private” road? L.

Re: [nysbirds-l] extralimital mega rarity
Do any birders think about the carbon footprint of driving 400 miles RT to (try and) see a single bird? How many have made 3-4 trips to Rhode Island by car in last four months or so alone for a single bird — Terek Sandpiper, Little Stint, Red Necked Stint, (perhaps a Ruff or a curlew sandpiper too) and now Common Cuckoo while bemoaning the environmental policies of the current administration?
