[nysbirds-l] Prospect Lake Common Gallinule (Kings)

[prosbird]

The COMMON GALLINULE has decided to travel.


Kathy Toomey tweeted out a note at 315 this afternoon that she spotted the bird 
in the reeds between West Island and the Rustic Shelter. This is across  the 
lake from the Rink, now the southwest Lake the place to see the Gallinule. The 
best vantage might be the half moon bench area (opp the island) looking 
northwest.


( nearest Train is F to Fort hamilton Parkway if this bird sticks to the spot)

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park , (Kings) rarities continue

[prosbird]

Here in Prospect Park, nature keeps repeating itself. PAINTED BUNTING at the 
Rink , BLACKHEADED GULL(BHGU) at the west shore or northwest Prospect Lake.The 
continuity keeps going on.


The PAINTED BUNTING during the morning was reported (RBate) at the north side 
of the steam pipes or ice making machinery of the Rink rooftop; the BLACK 
HEADED GULL was reported at the west shore 12;49  till I got another text 
message note it flew out farther into the lake 12:54. Word I received is the 
BHGU comes back and forth , showing up between 11 am and 1 pm. ( Observers 
Kathy Toomey , Jean Shum)


How much longer do we have to see this dynamic duo repeat their appearances? As 
long as we here at Prospect Park like it.

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park rarities (Kings)

[prosbird]

The dice continues to roll favorably with our two celebrity birds : PAINTED 
BUNTING & BLACK-HEADED GULL.


With far fewer birders milling around, I went to see the Painted Bunting. It 
seems to be exploring more of the green roof as now the Bunting moved to the 
far north end of the Rink green roof. As one come up the curvy path to the left 
of the Lefrak (Lakeside) Center Rink admission north entrance, the PAINTED 
BUNTING fed within a snakeroot stand between the bridle trail and that 
pedestrian green roof path.This location was close to the East Drive.


The other celebrity bird, BLACK-HEADED GULL is a clockwork bird. Apparently its 
coming into its favored location the west shoreline of Prospect Lake, by a red 
ice rescue ladder near the Well Drive/ Lake Drive T junction. About noon, one 
is best getting this gull if he or she hang out at this opportune time.Get 
there before noon. The bird was reported today first by Jean Shum, then Dale 
Dancis with Manhattan birders in Twitter tweets to me.

[nysbirds-l] Painted Bunting Prospect Park Kings

[prosbird]

The PAINTED BUNTING male continues atop on the green roof of the Lefrak Rink.It 
was seen feeding on the ground at noontime next to a black steam vent , between 
that structure and the mesh fence on the south side at the summit.


A request from my office supervisor of the Prospect Park Alliance Natural 
Resources Department .PLEASE STAY ON THE PATHS; do not venture off onto the 
planted areas as compaction occurs, impacting the flora that requires 
additional labor by the supervisors crew.Thanks

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park (Kings ) April 14th

[prosbird]

The second southern US species ( not native to these parts ) appeared on the 
current southern warm flow, a SWALLOW TAILED KITE that flew over the Lullwater 
at 9 am , observed by Jennifer Plummer Kepler, who took a photo of the species. 
A beautiful bird , very diagnostic and a perfect gliding smooth flying bird 
that marks this species. An awesome find for the park. See Jennifer's photo in 
the link she provide which is seen on on the Brooklyn Bird Club Facebook where 
it was initially posted.

The other big news is the reappearance of the YELLOW THROATED WARBLER at the 
same location as yesterday behind the Pools (mainly Upper). This time the bird 
cooperated for a multitude of birders seeing it low , even on the ground as I 
witnessed it . Thanks to Shane Blodgett for today's first report. When I saw 
it, it was in the Sweetgum tree just over the Upper Pool back view; then a 
short while later, it flew across the path to the back slope woods. Its been 
seen well and low for most of the afternoon.


A new first of season warbler , PRAIRIE WARBLER was spotted by Ed Crowne along 
the Falkills Falls path , just south of the falls, on the downslope to the 
right if one heads for the Nethermead.Its been up high in the beech trees , and 
low earlier.


The other report , over at Greenwood Cemetery where Doug Gochfeld been 
skywatching , reported BROADWINGED HAWK and 2 COMMON RAVENS.

[nysbirds-l] Walkill NWR/Black Dirt Region, Orange County

[prosbird]

Excellent success today in this winter enriched region for target 
birds, a trip for me and Mary Eyster intended to see Rough legged Hawks 
and Short eared Owls.

At our first stop, Skinners Lane north of Pine Island hamlet, a Dark 
morphed ROUGH LEGGED HAWK.

Second stop Indiana Road, we saw several light phased ROUGHLEGGED HAWKS 
and a surprising diurnal high flying  SHORTEARED OWL, that at one point 
was chasing a Crow. A few Rough legged were on the sod fields, Inc a 
dark morph.

Walkill NWR AT OIL CITY ROAD ACCESS proved to be the big star, as an 
estimated 11 - 12 SHORTEARED OWLS emerged 515 pm, with 7 flying over 
the parking lot and making a good number of passes overhead. We were 
also earlier treated to at least 5 NORTHERN HARRIERs, two "GRAY 
GHOSTS", into the early evening and at least 7 ROUGHLEGGED HAWKS, one 
dark morph and an intermediate plumage bird. The road trail north of 
this oil city lot was best for the Rough legged and as well over 50 
AMERICAN TREE SPARROWS.

REDTAILED HAWKs dominated the region at Oil City road lot area, 
including one very cooperative bird perched on the information kiosk 
then to the power lines. the trail north also had view of a juvenile 
RED SHOULDERED HAWK, which we saw catch a prey and ripped it apart.

This latter spot at Oil City was noisy though with large waves of 
Canada Geese honking incessantly. Glad I don't have to hear it though.

[nysbirds-l] Kings County (Brooklyn) CBC PRELIMINARY results December 14th

[prosbird]

To the birding community:


Below are the results for Kings County Christmas Birding Count Circle.


In the lowest count since 1981, with inclement snowy weather a factor among 
other things, 110 species were recorded.


Reflecting the historic irruption of Snowy Owl this winter, it showed with a 
record 15 birds ( including five seen in a restricted landfill area) , smashing 
the previous high of 4 ( I think from 1937).


Most evident was a shocking drop in Black-capped Chickadee and Tufted Titmouse 
numbers along with several other winter resident species which also evident in 
todays' Central Park (NYC)  figures.


Please note the numbers below for Kings CBC are not final, or preliminary due 
to still ongoing count week and subject to revised figures.


Thanks to compiler Rick Cech for his tireless effort compiling and 
keeping/maintaining the records , assisted by Paul Keim assisting on count 
night, Mary Eyster  organizing the CBC teams, Heidi Nanz setting up dinner prep 
and the countless members and birders helping out in any fashion. And as well 
thanks to the Prospect Park Alliance for use of their gorgeous venue ,the 
Audubon Boathouse.Anyone we forgot to mention, the Brooklyn Bird Club thank 
them for their voluntary effort.


 Happy Holidays to all, and a New Year  full of great birds.

[nysbirds-l] 4 Sparrow marsh

[prosbird]

This appeared in the NY Daily News. As many NYC birders already know , this has 
been a fight to preserve this habitat the past decade when I presided back then 
over the Bklyn Bird Club. Apparently the NY Economic Development Corporation 
finally did what it want to do stealthily selling the property in early spring 
without fanfare.


The site has known to have 4 breeding sparrows: Song , Swamp, Sharptailed and 
Savannah plus Clapper Rails and YC night Herons.

[nysbirds-l] Mulch on trails

[prosbird]

Steve,


as we do at my job for Prospect Park Natural Resources, we do the same thing: 
add mulch to trails.
The purpose is to reduce foot and bike compaction, add fertilizer from organic 
breakdown into the soil to help the surrounding flora


High human traffic is much responsible for the deterioration of trees whose 
roots are compacted and eventually die from over compaction .As least the mulch 
softens the compaction and Parks dept can be defended here. ( better than 
asphalt )


see this link for basic uses of mulch.

[nysbirds-l] Kings County twitter

[prosbird]

Following up on NYC Central Park's twitter post, Brooklyn Birders have one 
Twitter feed I set up over a year ago in which birders can be kept apprised of 
rarities here in Kings County and I follow over 11 birders.


Simply go to this link to my twitter account that I must accept subscribers to 
my account


https://twitter.com/BBCKingsbirds


After one "follows", look for the little man menu to turn on notifications to 
your cellphone ( but you must enter your cellphone number into your account)


This way , birders interested in Kings county birds are empowering themselves 
to follow up as some birders may not be internet saavy or lack smart phones.


Furthermore, one can use their smart  phone to book mark my blog 
http://www.prospectsightings.blogspot.com/ and check up on that from time to 
time for post as I am able to send rarity reports from the field to my blog via 
my cellphone.


Or as usual I would post to Phils Jeffrey's ebirds yahoo in the nyc city local 
area as most times I do if I am able with time . These mediums enable anyone to 
look into for rarities.


Good birding

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park (kings) 3/31

[prosbird]

After a week or so absence from this spot, the VARIED THRUSH showed up at the 
Ambergill Pool /Creek area. Several observers saw the bird reported near the 
Esdale Bridge at one point. Also with the thrush a RUSTY BLACKBIRD.  Observers 
Rafael Campos, Marisa Wohl, Rob Bate, Chris Holden who reported it seperately 
to me.


see latest map  http://goo.gl/maps/Q2pHf


WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS on Butterfly meadow, PINE SISKINS and typical species 
around this time , BROWN CREEPER, WINTER WREN , YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER and 
good numbers of GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET in Prospect, Brooklyn Botanic Garden and 
Greenwood Cemetery


WOOD DUCKS by the decade and other enjoyable duck species reported today in 
Prospect 


Over at the BBGarden , a decent flock of DARK-EYED JUNCO on the lawn by the 
Reflecting Pools; A SWAMP SPARROW at the Japanese Garden waterfall, not often a 
birdy spot.


The season's first PALM WARBLER is in..indicating things should pick up...

[nysbirds-l] latest Varied Thrush (VATH) Prospect Park (kings)

[prosbird]

The latest reports based on frequency is that this bird favors the southern 
slope of Quaker Ridge between the Quaker Cemetery and the Falkill Falls sloped 
path with rare excursions towards the Nethermead Bridge


However , the bird is not easy to see or spot  as its been working the middle 
to upper slope of the southern ridge. Today , Adam Welz spotted it 150 feet up, 
2 days ago I spotted it about 100 feet up slope , but both sightings were  
behind dense brush. You ofetn have to scan the hillside.


You can see a map track I created  with approximate locations ( except for 
mine) from my blog. Just look for post with VARIED THRUSH. Keep me posted 


Other good birds  overshadowed by VATH were two COMMON REDPOLLS seen in the 
Vale of Cashmere midafternoon, WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS (Steve Nanz) with Pine 
Siskins as all week seen in Butterfly Meadow , in the pin oaks or on the 
leaf/twigs cluttered ground (Lookout Hill ) , 2 COMMON MERGANSERS in the Lake  
and today a FOY RUSTY BLACKBIRD (Keir Randall; Dennis Hrehowsik) seen in the 
Lily Pool platform area ( pool near the Boathouse), but then this early eve on 
Lookout Hill's switchback trail on the southern slope by the Maryland Monument.


Yesterday I had 9 RINGNECKED DUCKS on the Lake, a GREENWINGED TEAL (P Colen)  
on the Upper Pool


see all the details on my blog http://prospectsightings.blogspot.com/


Good birding this weekend

[nysbirds-l] latest VARIED THRUSH Prospect Park 3/20 (Kings)

[prosbird]

Latest VARIED THRUSH 3/20 early eve


Tonight, upon a request from some birders who were on my impromptu Sunday walk 
wanted to see the bird after their miss then, I refound the VARIED THRUSH 
(VATH) . After looking along the southern slope of Quaker Ridge from the bridle 
trail from 530-600 PM, I succeeded in finding the bird by scanning the hillside 
with my bins ( not naked eye), the thrush 200 feet west of the Falkill Falls 
south narrow sloping path, about 100 feet up the hill. 

It wasn't offering good views but placing myself and my birding friends at the 
curve of the fence nearest lamppost G103 by the path terminus at Center Drive, 
we were able to see the VARIED THRUSH well enough , halfway up the hillside 
behind a large ash or mulberry tree with a whitish wound in its bark. See the 
latest map I revised to get an idea of where. You may have to scan with 
binoculars for the leaf flipping bird ( think Towhee ) as it generally favors 
this area most of the time this southern hillside with other birds and robins. 
It was still there up to 7 PM.

Prospect Lake still hosts 2 COMMON MERGANSERs hens now here for a week, 3 
RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS ( uncommon /rare for the lake) drakes, with HOODEDS as 
well. NORTHERN SHOVELERS numbered about 25.

[nysbirds-l] 3/16 Prospect Park , Greenwood Cemetry ( Kings County)

[prosbird]

A follow up on today's birds, particularly the VARIED THRUSH.


The Ambergill Pool, in Prospect Park's wooded Ravine section, continues to be 
the most reliable spot for this extralimital thrush despite seen early morning 
on the original  spot Nethermead Bridge back slope ( 930 am).  A group of 
birders at Ambergill Pool were already looking when I arrived, the bird seen 
resting on a fallen log by the back shore. It appears it loylly prefers this 
location after noontime into the afternoon.  Patience is a virtue. See Keir 
Randalls description 325 pm sighting to Ebirds


> Varied Thrush 1 Continues in the Ambergill, in the leaf litter on south side 
> of stream, 50ft or so back. Watched from around 3.25 to 4pm and was still 
> there when I left (no other birders!) Very active, picking through leaves 
> with bill and also kicking up debris with feet. Occasionally "froze" on 
> ground as if waiting out danger. Every 10 minutes or so it would fly up to a 
> perch a few feet off the ground before returning to forage.

> alt="Varied Thrush, Prospect Park 3.16.13" />


For access to this location for those of you unfamiliar with Prospect Park, 
from the Picnic House, go due east for the woods  to an intersection of 4 
roads. Look for a tall black chain link, go thru that entrance with the wood 
bridge on your right, hence follow the creek  to a pool 100 feet down which is 
the Ambergill Pool  . On the far shore where all the brush and fallen timbers 
are is where the Varied Thrush hangs out. A number of sightings were posted in 
the afternoon, especially  from 3 pm towards dusk.


Other news for Prospect were 10 WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS some seen on the ground 
on Lookout Hill's Butterfly Meadow ( the lower of two on the summit); 2 hen 
COMMON MERGANSERS on Prospect Lake with rare HORNED GREBE, 2 RING-NECKED DUCKS, 
12 PINE SISKINS at the feeders. 


Over at Greenwood Cemetery , on the "Hill of the Graves" or near Linden and 
Grove Avenues, best accessed from the weekend only 9th Ave ( or Prospect Park 
West Ave ) entrance ( get a free map at the sentry booth) was EASTERN 
MEADOWLARK. WE saw it well perched atop a cedar tree.


More details and lists will be posted on my blog shortly

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park ( Kings), VARIED THRUSH returns 3/13

[prosbird]

Rafael Campos found the VARIED THRUSH at the Ambergill Pool, in the Ravine. 
Later,  about 30 minutes, I ventured over there and found the celebre thrush on 
a dead log  next to a boulder  hidden by fallen dead tree brush, along the back 
shore of the Ambergill Pool. This is the pool where birders watch from the 
Esdale Bridge birds bathing in the creek that empties into the pool, just east 
from the Picnic House. However in later afternoon, it was not relocated. Again 
, my guess is that this bird explores the whole ridge, going up slope and out 
of sight, maybe in its strange environment , its skulking more



Other good birds to report are 5 WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS and our first EASTERN 
PHOEBE for Prospect. 


see my blog for details www.prospectsightings.blogspot.com and the google map.
