Re: [nysbirds-l] Cattle Egret continues at Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn (NYC)

It had been moving toward Dale Ave, east of Cypress. It is amazing 
how mowers are not bothering it. People with mowers are 30 to 40 feet away. I 
guess the Egret enjoying the food left by the mowing process.Sent using Zoho

Re: [nysbirds-l] Cattle Egret Friday, 4/14, Manhattan NYC

It's still in the same place noon Saturday 4/15. Penn South courtyard

Good Friday,14th April, 2017 -
Manhattan, Chelsea neighborhood, N.Y. City

A well-plumaged Cattle Egret continues its visit at a small-ish greenspace, on 
the north side of 28th Street, between Eighth & Ninth Avenues in Manhattan. In 
the early morning at least, the Egret was a bit closer to Eigth Ave. - it was 
feeding reasonably, as it has been for the days of observations.  

I also visited some smaller parks in the lower-mid Manhattan area, & most 
seemed to hold very scant migrant or late-lingering wintered-over birds.  The 
Hudson river along lower Manhattan also appeared relatively quiet and the 
greenspaces alongside somewhat the same, with the exception of lingering 
Atlantic Brant in some areas, which are not unexpected into or even thru April. 
 


Thanks to Ardith Bondi for her note on the Central Park reservoir (Manhattan) 
Red-necked Grebe which she photographed Thursday; this bird was also reported 
by a few others, in various media.  Should that grebe linger on into next week, 
it will certainly seem very likely that it is the same which was rehabilitated 
in Manhattan & subsequently released to the CP reservoir. It is mobile within 
the reservoir & it seems to be feeding well.

Peaceful birding,

Re: [nysbirds-l] Cattle Egret Mt. Loretto Unique Area, Staten Island

[Mike]

The Cattle Egret was still present as of 2pm at Mt Loretto Unique Area, Staten 
Island. The egret was seen near the vernal pond along the main asphalt trail 
that heads south from the parking lot. Thanks to Larry Pugliares who found the 
bird yesterday.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Cattle Egret- Mecox Rd - yes

[Shaibal Mitra]

In addition to their obvious relevance for year-listers, I suspect the Cattle 
Egrets in Brooklyn and at Mecox are nudging birders' memories of other, similar 
patterns of occurrence. These birds' simultaneous appearance demonstrates again 
the tendency of unusual birds to occur in bunches--and very often with no 
obvious weather mechanism "driving" them from where they were to where they are 
now.

When Rob Jett reported a Cattle Egret in Brooklyn in November 2009--

http://citybirder.blogspot.com/2009/11/november-madness.html

--I suggested that the followup oughtn't merely be a re-check of Floyd Bennett 
Field, but rather an immediate search of the fields at Mecox, 90 miles to the 
east. My reasoning was that Cattle Egrets had co-occurred in 2008 on Staten 
Island and at Mecox, and that a Cattle Egret at Mecox the year before that had, 
indirectly, helped to prompt one of the most frenzied bouts of rarity-finding 
that anyone could remember--

http://www.nybirds.org/Publications/KB58no1_HowWeAllGoBirding.pdf

The upshot in November 2009 was that Pat Lindsay went ahead and checked Mecox 
the day after Rob's Brooklyn bird, showing off good measures of daring and 
style in her chosen mode of bird-chasing. She duly discovered a Cattle Egret 
precisely where she expected to find it.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Cattle Egret at Floyd Bennett

[Shaibal Mitra]

Hi Rob and all,

That's a really neat find, and in my mind, it's a good indication that
other oddities are likely lurking in the weeds around here.

As Cattle Egrets have vanished as breeding birds in NYS and New England,
November has become a relatively good time for seeing them here. The species has
lingered into mid December at least twice on eastern LI, including one at
Deep Hollow on the Montauk CBC, on 21 Dec 1996.

When two Cattle Egrets popped up near Mecox Bay on 17 November 2007, I
remember dashing off a note to Hugh McGuinness, volunteering a cockamamie 
theory of
correlated vagrancy of November Grasshopper Sparrows with Cattle Egrets
(based on a personal sample size of maybe two!). Although the
Grassgroper Hypothesis remains in limbo, chasing down those Cattle Egrets
the next day and later certainly revealed how rich and unexpected November
birding can be ("Patagonia Picnic in Montauk" Kingbird 58: 2-12).

Last year, there was a Cattle Egret at Fresh Kills, Staten Island in November, 
and one appeared at Mecox again, persisting into December, up to the eve of the 
Sagaponack CBC.

This afternoon at around 12:45pm, Heydi Lopes and I found a Cattle Egret
at Floyd Bennett Field. It was feeding fairly close to the road within
Field "B". It didn't seem too concerned about cars driving by, but did
move a short distance when a loud motorcycle blasted down the road. Here's
a link to a map with a placemark noting the location:

While this seems like a very late date for Cattle Egret it is actually a
few weeks shy of the 12 December extreme coastal date noted in "Bull's
Birds".

Good birding,
