Re: [nysbirds-l] Radar

[Benjamin Van Doren]

I'd be interested in the north shore, especially from Northport to
Setauket. Birds over LI Sound may have turned around and landed, and thus
could be concentrated on the north shore. Just a guess.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Radar

[Benjamin Van Doren]

Just to clarify a bit -- this concentrating of birds at low altitudes
and/or birds landing is probably happening across a larger area, but we can
only see it over west-central Long Island because that's the only place
where the radar is able to sample low altitudes due to its location.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Radar

[Benjamin Van Doren]

Hi Jim,

This is really interesting. I believe what is going on here is the
following: favorable southerly winds ahead of the front (i.e. ahead of the
rain) and light winds just after fontal passage caused birds to take off in
large numbers...but unfavorable northwesterly winds are following the
front. If you watch a loop of the radar you can see that birds take off at
high densities across Long Island and much of Connecticut, but start to
disappear from higher altitudes (i.e. from CT - further from the radar)
after the precipitation passes, and they become more concentrated on LI (at
lower altitudes), such that by midnight there are only high densities over
LI. Barring any radar beam weirdness, it would seem that, as of midnight,
there are a lot of birds concentrated at low altitudes over central Long
Island, and they don't appear to be crossing the sound (in the face of
northerly winds). Except perhaps at low altitudes, which we wouldn't be
able to see easily. Might be interesting to check out west-central LI
tomorrow...

Re: [nysbirds-l] Radar

Hi Jim,

This is really interesting. I believe what is going on here is the
following: favorable southerly winds ahead of the front (i.e. ahead of the
rain) and light winds just after fontal passage caused birds to take off in
large numbers...but unfavorable northwesterly winds are following the
front. If you watch a loop of the radar you can see that birds take off at
high densities across Long Island and much of Connecticut, but start to
disappear from higher altitudes (i.e. from CT - further from the radar)
after the precipitation passes, and they become more concentrated on LI (at
lower altitudes), such that by midnight there are only high densities over
LI. Barring any radar beam weirdness, it would seem that, as of midnight,
there are a lot of birds concentrated at low altitudes over central Long
Island, and they don't appear to be crossing the sound (in the face of
northerly winds). Except perhaps at low altitudes, which we wouldn't be
able to see easily. Might be interesting to check out west-central LI

[nysbirds-l] Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx Co. NYC 5/14

[Thomas Fiore]

This Saturday afternoon, I made a familiar foray into part of the west  
Bronx (& would have detoured just slightly east to a Bronx river / zoo  
Prothonotary, had I known at the time of my Van Cort. visitation!) -  
and echoing first Jack Rothman's comments on Bronx parks... there is a  
lot of peace and quiet - and plenty of birds.  J.R. & colleagues are  
always a welcome sight in their wanderings into Manhattan as well...
And further adding a bit on Mike Britt's post re: Nighthawks in  
Yonkers, but theorizing on an inter-boro "series" of birding - Staten  
Island is no "sleeper", but the Bronx could be, as it just would take  
a group such as the City Island crew & some other energetic true-Bronx  
birders; there's a lot of bird habitat in the Bronx, and thus, well:  
birds.


Saturday p.m. only - May 14th.
Seen & heard in Van Cortlandt Park (mainly NE & NW forest areas, but  
also a pass thru parts of the Croton woods central sections) were:

Common Grackle [breeds]
Brown-headed Cowbird [parasitizes]
Orchard Oriole [uncommon, breeds]
Baltimore Oriole [many; also breeds]

Additionally some fine wild & native (non-planted) trees, shrubs, and  
herbaceous plants were seen, some in gorgeous full bloom, such as  
native Pinxter-flower, and some state-rare (protected) plants, and  
further a modest selection of butterflies, in this rich-woods park  
with some genuine "old-growth" trees (esp. so for N.Y. City).

[nysbirds-l] Breeding Common Nighthawk in Yonkers?

[Michael Britt]

Common Nighthawk undoubtedly still breeds in Yonkers, with plenty of old
buildings that likely offer the proper substrate for nest sites. When
delivering to Saint John's Riverside Hospital on St. Joseph's Avenue on
Friday, a construction worker was talking about the roof, so I asked is it
gravel? Indeed it is. With the combination of city light pollution, the
Hudson River nearby, and the vacant lot (overgrown) across the street, it
seems like a homerun for breeders. If anyone bothers to listen at night,
it's not the best neighborhood and can even seem like "The Walking Dead"
during the day, with the methadone clinic on Park Ave. It's worth a shot
for any locals though.

As an aside, excuse my ignorance if this already exists but it would be
totally awesome if there was a WSB-type event called "Battle of the
boroughs" or something along that line. I know the Brooklyn and Queens
teams' would be fierce but I think Staten Island could be the sleeper...

[nysbirds-l] Pelham Bay Park, Hunter Island, Bronx

[Jack Rothman]

Although we got off to a late start, Gerry and Eleanor, Alexandra, Bronx 
Brendan and I had some great birds and a fun morning, from 9:45 till noon. 
Baltimore Orioles and Yellow Warblers were everywhere we looked. 

This is the third time I birded Hunter Island this week, each time was 
rewarding.

We met no other birders today and I met no other birders during the week.

Although we don’t have nearly the amount of species of other parks, birding 
here is very rewarding. It is more challenging, very peaceful and quite 
beautiful. 

Baltimore Orioles (25+ they were all over the place!)
Orchard Orioles (6)
Yellow Warbler (16)
Black and White Warbler (6)
Black-throated Blue warbler (2)
Wilson’s Warbler
American Redstart
Common Yellowthroat
Spotted Sandpiper (2)
Warbling Vireo ( 2)
Rose-breasted Grosbeak (calling right above our heads but we couldn’t find it.)
Great-crested Flycatcher
Downy Woodpecker
Hairy Woodpecker
Red-bellied Woodpecker
American Goldfinch (2)
Tree Swallow
Gray Catbird (12)
Cooper’s Hawk
Northern Flicker (4)
House Wren (3)
Blue-grey Gnatcatcher (3)
American Oystercatcher
Spotted Sandpiper
Chipping Sparrow

[nysbirds-l] Marcy Woods and Belmont Lake SP (Suffolk Co.) -- SUMMER TANAGER, Hooded and Wilson's warblers

[John Gluth]

It was a very pleasant and productive morning (6:45-10:40) birding these two 
contiguous locations. There was an ample if not extraordinary amount of migrant 
activity at both locations, with 18 species of warbler, highlighted by Hooded 
(male, Marcy), Chestnut-sided (Marcy), Wilson's (male, Belmont - thanks to a 
tip from Jonathan Stocker), and Blackburnian (both). The real show-stopper 
though was a male SUMMER TANAGER, seen well over ~2 minutes as it moved through 
the middle canopy, singing sporadically. Other notable finds included 
Yellow-billed Cuckoo (2), Veery, Wood Thrush, Prairie Warbler and Scarlet 
Tanager.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan, NYC 5/13

[Thomas Fiore]

Friday the 13th of May, 2016

Not to be forgotten at Central Park's reservoir today -late in the day  
with some showers falling- I walked the full reservoir loop, &  
photographed a lone male Northern Shoveler, 2 Ruddy Ducks, and a drake  
Bufflehead, as well as having seen the long-lingering Wood Duck  
elsewhere in the park, and "usual" multiple Gadwall as well as the  
most common, resident waterbirds. A very modest no. of swallows were  
seen including at least one Bank Swallow with the typical Barn &  
N.Rough-winged over the reservoir.  There were still good numbers of  
some species of land-bird migrants, & a reasonable variety.


Also, at Riverside Park (also in Manhattan, on the far west side) &  
mainly in the northern-most woods areas, I found 18 Warbler species,  
and a fair variety of other spp. of migrants. I did not find a Blue  
Grosbeak which had been seen there the day before by others... but  
that & many other migrants could well have been present. There are  
still a lot of migrants yet to come along.


I had a morning look for the Seaside Sparrows where they'd been  
earlier in the week, but came up empty on this Friday. Hopefully they  
got to a good salt-marsh area.


good weekend birds,

Tom Fiore
Manhattan
