[nysbirds-l] Central Park NYC 4 Wood Warbler Species Saturday July 12, 2014
Central Park NYC Bird Walk Saturday July 12, 2014 On a bird walk in Central Park this morning led by Dr. Bob DeCandido we saw the following (not the entire list): Adult male Chestnut-sided Warbler - Laupot Bridge (new for the season) Black-and-white Warbler - 2 females - Tupelo Field Humming Tombstone (seen last weekend at the Upper Lobe) American Redstart - very short tail with female-like plumage - Maintenance Field (not the bird we saw last weekend). In addition, a British birder who joined us reported an adult male Northern Parula in the Ramble. He gave a good description, and we had seen an adult male in the Ramble last weekend. House Wren - singing Eastern Kingbird - 4 Black-capped Chickadee - 3 or 4 Warbling Vireos with older fledglings Baltimore Orioles - somewhere between 10 15 of these - adults and young - various locations A couple of small flocks of southbound Red-winged Blackbirds Wood Ducks continue at the Reservoir and Turtle Pond. My apologies for not texting the Chestnut-sided Warbler at the time (some sort of cell phone dead zone). Here's one of the Black-and-white Warblers: http://www.agpix.com/view_caption.php?image_id=686479photog=1 Deborah Allen -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] Lido Beach
Lido Beach Passive Nature Area, 12 July High tide. Other than breeding WILLETS, few shorebirds; namely 3 SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS, 2 GREATER YELLOWLEGS and several SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS. There was a continuous, sporadic movement of COMMON TERNS flying between the channel and the Nickerson Beach colony to the south. One tern, in opposition, flying west instead of north/south, turned out to be a GULL-BILLED TERN. A WILLOW FLYCATCHER called continuously as I approached the trail to the channel, but was silent on my return. There were BOAT-TAILED GRACKLES feeding in the marsh. The planted grass land in front of the parking lot has extensive wild flowers in bloom. Stopped to take some pictures while serenaded by the usual breeding birds.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan-Possible Eurasian Collared-dove area expansion.
For what it's worth, I'm fairly certain I saw the/a Eurasian Collared-Dove in Manhattan today, though I was not actively birding and had no binoculars on me. It flew one complete circuit around the artificial turf baseball/soccer field bounded by 27th and 28th streets and just east of 10th Avenue, and disappeared heading SW over the intersection of 10th an 27th. This was around 1:30 PM and is several blocks to the northeast of where people have been seeing it recently, as far as I've gathered. Those looking might want to expand the search area to the northeast, east of the high line, if they are coming up empty around 23rd St. and West St., as I gathered happened today.

[nysbirds-l] migrants, Central Park, NYC 7/12
Saturday, 12 July, 2014 Some migrants passing at Central Park, in Manhattan (N.Y. City) including Spotted Solitary Sandpiper, Northern Waterthrush, and Yellow Warbler, the latter a NYC breeder of course, but this possibly coming from a non-local area... Solitary SP was at the Meer, 2 Spotted SP at the reservoir, and N. Waterthrush in and by the Loch, all this a.m. - Yellow Warbler later on, by the Lake.

[nysbirds-l] Whimbrel at Cedar Beach, Southold (Suffolk Co.)
Saturday afternoon I found 3 WHIMBREL on the low tide flats and bars at Cedar Beach in Southold. Only a small number of other southbound migrant shorebirds were present, including ~12 Least and a few Semipalmated sandpipers, among the locally breeding Willet and Oystercatchers. The Least Tern nesting colony was well populated (at least 50 birds). Later, at Arshamomaque Preserve (5:45-7:30), I saw two of the previously reported LEAST BITTERN family group--both were juveniles. They spent an extended amount of time perched in cattails and Marsh Mallow growing at the edge of the pond, where they engaged in some preening. They eventually clambered back out of sight into the vegetation, only to re-emerge and fly a short distance, only one remaining visible after landing. It too soon melted back into the reeds.
