Re: [nysbirds-l] Manhattan Empidonax

[Ed Gaillard]

I took a bunch of photos of the Inwood empid this morning, and uploaded a
selection to https://edgaillard.smugmug.com/Bird-ID/Inwood-empid  .  I
believe one should be able to download the original size of any of the
photos.

I didn't have time this evening to do a thorough job of culling, so there's
a lot of redundancy there; sorry. I'm also not sure if any of these photos
show anything earlier photos didn't.

The bird was quite active, staying very low--I'd say never more then three
feet off the ground, and usually lower. It pumped its tail a lot. I was
surprised by how pale the underparts were;, I was expecting more yellow,
but I don't know too much about Fall empids.

Regards,
Ed Gaillard

[nysbirds-l] ADMIN: WARNING! eList Etiquette and Owls

[Christopher T. Tessaglia-Hymes]

Please take a moment to read what you post and to whom you are distributing 
your posting prior to clicking “send”.

READERSHIP:

There are over 1,200 recipients of messages posted to NYSbirds-L – those are 
just the subscribed email addresses which receive these messages directly to 
their email. There are likely countless thousands of others who, in 
combination, read messages as visible on ABA, Sialia, or the Mail Archive.

PROFANTIY:

While some of us may causally drop F-bombs while out birding, when we get 
really excited or annoyed, or in our personal social media outlets, it is 
unacceptable and unnecessary to use profanity on NYSbirds-L.

POLITICS:

Likewise, unless it has direct impact upon a birding locale or a species of 
concern, keep political commentary out of postings – anything politically 
charged will offend many on this eList and result in unacceptable heated 
exchanges on this eList.

RULES:

Please read the eList rules here and contact me privately with questions:

http://www.northeastbirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm

REPERCUSSIONS:

If postings of concern happen and they are brought to my attention, said 
offenders will either be placed under moderation for posting or banned from 
this eList altogether. Except in extreme cases, this will not happen without at 
least one warning.

OWLS:

Although, not an official rule (yet), posting of certain specific owl roosting 
locales to the entire eList is not acceptable, especially in metropolitan 
areas. There are many people who do not understand how to behave around owls, 
and intentionally or otherwise, harass the owls in order to get a “better” look 
or “the” shot. If we don’t post locations, we can help reduce stress upon 
already stressed birds.

Please go birding and have fun doing it. Not all of us have the free time for 
birding, so enjoy it for the rest of us, and please be nice.

Sincerely,
Chris T-H

[nysbirds-l] Niagara River - Saturday

[Willie D'Anna]

Tons of gulls on the river today - 12 species were reported. Also two
HARLEQUIN DUCKS at the usual spot above the barge. A possible PACIFIC LOON
was reported at the mouth of the river by experienced observers, viewed from
Niagara-on-the-Lake but only seen relatively briefly.

 

SABINE'S GULL - viewed at the roosting rocks (upriver from the power plants)
around noon by a few observers on the American side. 

BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE - Seen at the power plants in the afternoon.

BLACK-HEADED GULL - Seen at the Whirlpool, where it has been found since
last Sunday.

LITTLE GULL - a first-winter bird at the Whirlpool.

GLAUCOUS GULL - a juvenile on the breakwall on the upriver side of control
gates.

 

Others: Thayer's, Iceland, Lesser Black-backed, Great Black-backed, Herring,
Ring-billed, Bonaparte's.

 

Good birding!

[nysbirds-l] Redtail subspecies typo

[Michael Britt]

inadvertently put "borealis" the expected Red-tailed Hawk instead of the
northern "abieticola" in my post before.

[nysbirds-l] City Hall Park NYC - Western Tanager, etc. & corrected link () for Dec. 9 Inwood Empid

[Deborah Allen]

City Hall Park, NYCSaturday, December 10, 2016OBS: Deborah AllenSome of this morning's birds seen with Brad Woodward visiting from Maine.Red-tailed Hawk - immature stirring up flock of Rock Pigeons (northeast section)Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - 2 (northeast section)Ovenbird - 1 (northeast section) spotted by Brad WoodwardBlack-throated Blue Warbler - male (northeast section)Hermit Thrush - 1 (south of City Hall)Swamp Sparrow - 1 (northeast section)White-throated Sparrow - at least 20 (northeast section)Dark-eyed Junco - 2 (northeast section)Western Tanager - immature male (northeast section)The tanager, sapsuckers, and Black-throated Blue Warbler were all seen in the now leafless elm, as usual. --Apparently the link I posted to the photo of the Empidonax flycatcher at Inwood Hill Park (taken on Friday, Dec. 9) didn't work, so here it is again. You can click on the photo to view it in a larger size in which the emargination of four primaries (P6-9) is easy to see:http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18320149P6 is not emarginated in Willow, Alder, & Acadian Flycatchers (Pyle Vol. 1).Pale, buffy tips on the rectrices of hatch-year Empids are mentioned for Least and Acadian Flycatchers in Pyle Vol 1. The bird shown in the photo appears to have had buffy tips on the rectrices which have faded to whitish. Perhaps this characteristic is common to other species of Empidonax flycatchers but simply not mentioned in Pyle.Deb Allen

[nysbirds-l] South Fork LI: Tundra Swans return to Hook Pond, East Hampton

[Angus Wilson]

A pair of adult TUNDRA SWANS were present on Hook Pond in East Hampton
(Suffolk Co.). This is a the only regular wintering spot for the species on
Long Island and their arrival is slightly later than usual, perhaps
reflecting the relatively mild conditions in late November.

[nysbirds-l] Regarding the WEFL at Inwood Park -- Fecal Sample wanted!

[Nathan Goldberg]

Hi all,

In regards to the presence of yet another Western Flycatcher in Manhattan,
I am really hoping someone can come forward with a fecal sample from it.
Having sequenced the poop of the last Western Flycatcher (a little over a
year ago) and confirming it as a Pacific-slope Flycatcher, it would be
amazing if we could repeat this process!

If anyone who sees this bird observes it defecate, please do your best to
immediately locate the sample and collect it! Protocol for this would be to
hopefully have a Ziploc bag present, and place the poop in the bag. Ideally
the sample will be on a leaf or something similar and can be folded into
the leaf to prevent its degradation.

After collection, please place the sample in a freezer and contact me at
nr...@cornell.edu for shipping information. We'd love to sequence it and
hopefully confirm this birds identity!

Good birding,

Nathan Goldberg

Re: [nysbirds-l] Empidonax species audio?

[Andrew Baksh]

Well what can I say, we New Yorkers are a tad slow. If you check previous 
posts, you would have read where attempts have been made to obtain audio. We 
will continue to try for audio and hopefully soon we could impress you?

Otherwise we will just default to those fine NY birders to make the "call."

RE:[nysbirds-l] [HMBirds] Orange-crowned Warbler

[James Coe]

Seriously?  Virginia's?  !!!   Could it be the same one that had been seen
downstate in Westchester County?

The bird was safely captured and removed from the store and is enroute to
being released. 

 

Also the bird has been identified as a Virginia's Warbler, NOT OCWA as
previously reported.

 

More details soon from Rich Guthrie

[nysbirds-l] Empidonax species (Manhattan NYC 12/10)

[Thomas Fiore]

Saturday, 10 December, 2016 -
an Empidonax genus, species T-B-D? northern-most Manhattan (NYC)

Thanks to aII for attempting to post to this state-wide Iist, with  
updates & comments - DougIas Futuyma, and Jeff Ritter (via Joshua  
MaIbin) et aI;


it is apparent (I am not on-scene there this day) that the Empidonax  
[genus] FIycatcher is present at Inwood HiII Park, uptown-northern  
Manhattan [NYC], again today - and the areas of "IittIe baIIfieId" are  
going to be somewhere in the vicinity of the north-eastern portion of  
the park, access points either from near West 218 Street, or Isham  
Street (and that is very near West 207 Street) - and west of Seaman  
Avenue, or the much shorter India Road -


The SOCCER FieId (Iawn) is a bit nearer to West 218 Street, but any of  
the streets noted herein wiII reach this area; this is the fieId about  
due west, a bit southwest of the west end (terminus) of West 218  
Street - and the sIope is immediateIy west of the west side of that  
soccer fieId / Iawn area (with one white goaI net at each side, & go  
past the western goaI)


Once into the sector of the park that is just west of these access  
points, you may be within 5 to 10 minutes waIk (from the bordering  
streets) to where the fIycatcher has been seen - it is not a great  
distance into this park from one of the streets referenced above!  If  
coming in from near Isham Street or 207th Street, go to your right  
once in the park and as you reach the wooded edges (not into the  
woods),  or from Wet 218 Street, go a bit in but bear a bit Ieft to  
cross the Iow Iawn (soccer fieId) and seek out other birders!  The  
woods area is on a sIope, obvious once in the park, and you wiII want  
to stay near to but by the edge of that wooded sIope - there is a  
narrow paved path there & the open areas of Iawn-fieId (or baIIfieId 
[s]) wiII be adjacent, & the streets bordering this part of Inwood  
HiII Park not more than 5-10 minutes away;  hope this heIps a bit for  
those not famiIiar with this area


There are two NYC subway Iines not very far out, the "A" train subway  
(if running this weekend!) for which the very cIosest stop wouId be  
the finaI (Iast) stop on the Iine (going north), marked as West 207th  
Street - and/or the #1 subway train, with a stop at West 215th Street -


do NOT take the [red] #1 (Broadway subway Iine) to West 207th, and NOT  
to Dyckman Street, both which gives a much farther distance to waIk  
over to Inwood HiII Park from those stops (which are far east of  
Broadway) - the #1 train stop to use is the West 215th Street, and  
waIk a short way west to Inwood HiII Park crossing Broadway to do so  
(& from the "A" train at West 207th, aIso waIk west away from Broadway  
to reach Inwood HiII Park) - either correct stop of these 2 subway  
train Iines wiII be no more than 15-20 minutes at most from the  
section of the park the fIycatcher is in, & once in the park, do not  
proceed into or thru wooded areas, as the sports fieIds that are  
reference are nearer to the street on the east / northeast borders of  
the park;  I can't entireIy predict the area-parking situation, but  
there may be some avaiIabiIity in the generaI area; I don't know of  
any Iot that is cIose though.


IF the Empidonax is continuing to be seen, any updates (positive &/or  
negative) may be appreciated for this Iist, perhaps cross-posted from  
any other pertinent updates / aIerts / texts / tweets / & so on within  
this digitaI-media universe!

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan Empidonax

[d Futuyma]

As of 40 minutes ago, was cooperative on hillside overlooking soccer field in 
Inwood Hill Park. Pointed crown, tear-shaped eye ring evidently broken above; 
Buffy wing bars, dark but not black between them; distance from lower wing bar 
to secondary pale edging ca. 2/3 the distance between wing bars. Consensus for 
"Western" is building.

Fwd: [nysbirds-l] New Empidonax identification tip

[Peter Reisfeld]

While I do not profess expertise in this matter, I just wanted to comment on 
the study by Baumann et. al in the Journal of Field Ornithology on 
distinguishing Western and yellow bellied flycatchers.  While precise 
separation of these species required in-the-hand measurement of wing and buffy 
fringe lengths, as others have noted, the space between the proximal edge of 
the buffy fringing on the secondaries and lower wing bar was judged to be a 
good field mark, with a larger space favoring yellow-bellied. 

Some have suggested that this article supports categorizing the Inwood 
flycatcher as yellow-bellied. Yet in the photo on page 395 used to illustrate 
this, the band between the lower wing bar and the top edge of the fringe is 
about 1/3 of the length of the visible secondaries on the yellow-bellied, while 
not more than 1/4 of this length on the western.  Looking at some of the photos 
of the Inwood bird, the band is much closer to 1/4 than 1/3.  While there may 
well be some variability in this feature in the field, if the photo from the 
article is an accurate representation of the validity of this field mark, it 
would suggest that the Inwood bird is more likely western than yellow-bellied, 
not the reverse.
