[nysbirds-l] Hunters Garden - Eastport, Suffolk County- Cerulean Warbler
At Hunters Garden, during an Eastern LI Audubon Society field trip, a male Cerulean Warbler was heard and observed for at least 10 minutes, around 9:30 this morning, along the access road to the water tower. The bird was seen high in a flowering oak tree, near the "high"point of the access road. It was first heard with an ascending buzzy call, ending in a longer buzz. The blue-back, w/two wing bars, white throated, white chest with dark neckline, white belly and dark flank-striped bird, was seen by almost all 15 observers. Hunters Garden is a DEC area, off County Road 51, just north of Sunrise Highway, and the locked gate is still in place. The main clearing is approximately 3/4 miles from the entrance. The water tower road is the second "Y" (take right) from entrance. Other birds seen included Scarlet Tanagers, Bay-breasted Warbler, and a Yellow-billed Cuckoo was heard - all on the water tower access road. A Solitary Sandpiper made a brief stop by a large muddy puddle in the main clearing.

[nysbirds-l] Both cuckoos, Bobolinks - Stillwell Woods 5/11 (Nassau Co.)
Hey crew, Stella Miller found several Black-billed Cuckoos in the woods behind the large field in back. We watched as a pair of males chased each other and copulated with a female. There were also at least two Yellow-billed Cuckoos calling closer to the south end of the field. At least 14 Bobolinks were singing and displaying in the field itself. The site has been good historically for passage Bobolink, and both cuckoos likely breed nearby so please don't harass them with playback. Pat Palladino also had a Wilson's Warbler here later in the morning, and Stella and I had one nearby in Jericho. Park here and walk in to the east past the gate: 40.831724, -73.477526. As you might see from a map, it's a big place. Be mindful of mountain bikers and ticks.

[nysbirds-l] Marine Nature Study Area, Oceanside
After a stop at Hempstead Lake SP, I went over to Oceanside and just missed a SEASIDE SPARROW. While going back to look for it, we found a SALTMARSH SPARROW. So, the sparrows are back along with a number of CLAPPER RAILS. A GREEN HERON showed, but not the recent Tricolored Heron. Shorebirds consisted of SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, WILLET, LESSER and GREATER YELLOWLEGS, SEMIPALMATED and LEAST SANDPIPERS plus SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER. FORSTER'S TERNS continue and a LEAST TERN made a brief appearance.

Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, 7-8-9-10 May, 2016: Manhattan, N.Y. City - It was quite the 4 days, with an intensive push of migrants on Sunday, 8 May, but also many moving &/or lingering on the day prior to then, & as well for the 2 days to 10 May. The highest no. of species was found in 1 day, 8 May, and that day also featured what appeared to be by far the highest total number of individuals, as well as maxima (during the noted 4-day period) for many species thus far this spring.

The no. of species in Manhattan in the 4 days from 7-10 May exceeded 150, which is a lot! but is not quite that close to record-high no's. in spring migration, and there are single-day May-migration species-counts for the location which are a bit higher as well from the past century.
