[nysbirds-l] eBird.org: Recent Additions to County Checklists

[Ben Cacace]

When working on the NYS eBird Hotspots wiki I'll compare the previous bar
chart list of species with the current one picking up any additions or
deletions. By going to each county's 'Overview' page you can determine the
date the species was added by county. Some are from newly submitted
checklists from many months / years ago.

It isn't possible to spot these additions from old checklists. On the
'Overview' page you can sort on 'First Seen' but if the species wasn't
added recently it won't appear at the top of the list.

For each county on the wiki click the 'Overview' link on the 'Explore a
Location' line:
— http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York

Yellow highlights a species added for the first time over the past few
months. Red represents species removed from the New York State list.

*Ontario County: *
Little Gull (13-May-2017)
Eurasian Collared-Dove (10-May-2017)

*Saratoga County: *
Little Gull (13-May-2017)

*Madison County: *

[nysbirds-l] Blackburnian and Canada Warblers CP

[Alan Drogin]

Though I got in late, today was a decent day in Central Park.  Want to make a 
few additions to Deborah Allen’s list from Friday.  Just as I was leaving 
around 4pm I came upon clouds of small flying insects causing a lot of activity 
around a big oak tree by the southwest entrance to the reservoir.  Sparrows 
were crawling its bark and up in the low leaves where plenty of warblers and 
vireos including two additions, a male Blackburnian and Canada Warbler.

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown IBA, Rockland County, early am Sat 5/20

[Anne Swaim]

Saw Mill River Audubon walk this morning -- starting at 5:30am and lasting
four hours. Chilly and gray conditions most of walk.

Our eBird list is here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S37005508

Some highlights:

* 15 warbler species including several Cerulean Warbler, several Hooded
Warbler, good look at singing Wilson's Warbler plus three different Canada
Warblers heard, one seen well

* One heard-only Tennessee Warbler high on ridge as we came back to
entrance on 1777E trail above the road.

* At the first bend going up the road, just after 5:30am, we clearly heard
a Mourning Warbler singing several times but never saw it, no other
vocalizations from this bird.

* Of additional interest to us was a Gray Catbird by the lake unexpectedly
imitating a Chuck's-will-widow three times before switching back to more
typical squeaky jumble.

Also of note was rather poor condition of 1777E trail: deeply rutted with
churned up mud and many tracks including ATV tracks -- perhaps from foot
race previous weekend?

RE: [nysbirds-l] Rockefeller State Park Preserve ( and Fahnestock State Park)

[Larry Trachtenberg]

Apropos Jack Rothman's post as to Rockefeller State Park, I now skip the 
"intensity" of Central Park altogether even though I work  ten blocks from the 
south entrance.  This morning Kyle Bardwell who drove down from Beacon and he 
and I spent about 3 hours covering about 4 miles of Fahnestock State Park, 
including a stretch I maintain for the NY/NJ trail conference.  (His ears for 
all things high pitched and ear birding skills were key.)  We put in on the Red 
Trail off Rte. 301 hiked to Beaver Pond and came out the Blue Trail onto the 
Appalachian Trail ending back on Rte. 301 at Canopus Lake.   Other than at 
trailhead parking area like Jack yesterday, we saw absolutely no one, let alone 
anyone using incessant playback.  We did however encounter 18 species of wood 
warbler; a few migrants but many on territory so when NYC migration  is over 
there are numerous trails (with understory) in Fahnestock where you can get a 
warbler fix during summer.  There is a breeding bird survey by Putnam Audubon 
and if anyone would like to come north and partake feel free to email me off 
line and I can put you in touch with the person who runs it. (Lots of good 
territory besides Fahnestock.) 

Today we encountered some early showers, then a bit of harder rain, and then 
some clearing.  Warbler highlights this morning were blackburnian, cerulean 
(2), chestnut sided, bay breasted, and hooded (other warblers yellow, 
yellowthroat, red start (10+), ovenbird (10+), magnolia, black throated blue, 
black throated green, N. parula, prairie, blackpoll, blue winged, northern 
waterthrush and many black+white).  Other birds towhee (10+), red eyed vireo 
(10+), yellow throated vireo (4+), scarlet tanager (M + F paired up), rose 
breasted grosbeak (M + F paired up), black billed cuckoo, pewee, phoebe (2), 
pileated woodpecker, balt. Oriole, raven (several), veery, hermit and wood 
thrush (likely swainson's too), cedar waxwing, cat bird (20+), and a great blue 
heron (at beaver pond).  Rain likely limited flycatchers.  Mountain laurel 
starting to bloom, a few orchids as well.  That stretch of trail has had in 
years' past ruffed grouse (most recent sighting I had was about three years 
ago, but I expect they still breed in Fahnestock).   And very early mornings 
(certainly before I get there) along Rte 301 whip-poor-wills can be heard.

Gerry McGee and I birded the preserve this morning and were pleasantly 
surprised. It was so tranquil and beautiful, we were the only two birders 
around. After all the intensity of Central Park this week, this was a kind of 
relief. Of course there were far fewer species but we had many long and focused 
views of Blue-winged Warblers, Eastern Bluebirds, Scarlet Tanagers and others. 
While sitting on bench overlooking a field under a tree, many birds came to 
visit.

If you need a day off from the intense city birding style, I recommend this 
place with wide beautiful trails and more contemplative birding.

Orchard Oriole (few)
Yellow Warbler
American Redstart (several)
Cedar Waxwing (several)
Scarlet Tanager (2)
Great-blue Heron
Red-tail Hawk
Blue-winged Warbler (few)
Baltimore Oriole (few)
Red-winged Blackbird
Gray Catbird
Hermit Thrush
Turkey Vulture
Eastern Bluebird (several)

Eastern Woods PeeWee (calling)
Warbling Vireo
Tree Sparrow

"intensity" of Central Park altogether even though I work  ten blocks from the 
south entrance.  This morning Kyle Bardwell who drove down from Beacon and he 
and I spent about 3 hours covering about 4 miles of Fahnestock State Park, 
including a stretch I maintain for the NY/NJ trail conference.  (His ears for 
all things high pitched and ear birding skills were key.)  We put in on the Red 
Trail off Rte. 301 hiked to Beaver Pond and came out the Blue Trail onto the 
Appalachian Trail ending back on Rte. 301 at Canopus Lake.   Other than at 
trailhead parking area like Jack yesterday, we saw absolutely no one, let alone 
anyone using incessant playback.  We did however encounter 18 species of wood 
warbler; a few migrants but many on territory so when NYC migration  is over 
there are numerous trails (with understory) in Fahnestock where you can get a 
warbler fix during summer.  There is a breeding bird survey by Putnam Audubon 
and if anyone would like to come north and partake feel free to email me off 
line and I can put you in touch with the person who runs it. (Lots of good 
territory besides Fahnestock.) 

Today we encountered some early showers, then a bit of harder rain, and then 
some clearing.  Warbler highlights this morning were blackburnian, cerulean 
(2), chestnut sided, bay breasted, and hooded (other warblers yellow, 
yellowthroat, red start (10+), ovenbird (10+), magnolia, black throated blue, 
black throated green, N. parula, prairie, blackpoll, blue winged, northern 
waterthrush and many black+white).  Other birds towhee (10+), red eyed vireo 
(10+), yellow throated vireo (4+), scarlet tanager (M + F paired up), rose 
breasted grosbeak (M + F paired up), black billed cuckoo, pewee, phoebe (2), 
pileated woodpecker, balt. Oriole, raven (several), veery, hermit and wood 
thrush (likely swainson's too), cedar waxwing, cat bird (20+), and a great blue 
heron (at beaver pond).  Rain likely limited flycatchers.  Mountain laurel 
starting to bloom, a few orchids as well.  That stretch of trail has had in 
years' past ruffed grouse (most recent sighting I had was about three years 
ago, but I expect they still breed in Fahnestock).   And very early mornings 
(certainly before I get there) along Rte 301 whip-poor-wills can be heard.

Gerry McGee and I birded the preserve this morning and were pleasantly 
surprised. It was so tranquil and beautiful, we were the only two birders 
around. After all the intensity of Central Park this week, this was a kind of 
relief. Of course there were far fewer species but we had many long and focused 
views of Blue-winged Warblers, Eastern Bluebirds, Scarlet Tanagers and others. 
While sitting on bench overlooking a field under a tree, many birds came to 
visit.

If you need a day off from the intense city birding style, I recommend this 
place with wide beautiful trails and more contemplative birding.

Orchard Oriole (few)
Yellow Warbler
American Redstart (several)
Cedar Waxwing (several)
Scarlet Tanager (2)
Great-blue Heron
Red-tail Hawk
Blue-winged Warbler (few)
Baltimore Oriole (few)
Red-winged Blackbird
Gray Catbird
Hermit Thrush
Turkey Vulture
Eastern Bluebird (several)
Eastern Towhee
Eastern Woods PeeWee (calling)
Warbling Vireo
Tree Sparrow
Tree Swallow
Blue Jay
Eastern Kingbird
