[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 NYS eBird Hotspots site click the 'Overview' link on
the 'Explore a Location' line:
• http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York

Since last update: 10 days

Yellow highlights a species added for the first time over the past few
weeks.

[nysbirds-l] Radar this morning

[Gus Keri]

After fairly quite night, a large amount of radar activities seen over NYC and 
western LI this morning (and even larger amount in NJ, eastern PA and 
Delaware). Most of the activities were after sunrise: between 5:30 am and 7:30 
am) Does this mean a lot of shorebirds started their migration south? Here is 
the map: www.pauljhurtado.com/US_Composite_Radar/2018-7-10/ Unfortunately for 
me, It is the world cup semifinals today. Gus Sent using Zoho Mail

[nysbirds-l] Cupsogue Beach Brown Pelicans

[David Barrett]

Just posted this report to @BirdQueens on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/BirdQueens/status/1017122349274095616

Five BROWN PELICANS on a sandbar at Cupsogue Beach this afternoon, found
and reported by Eric Zawatski on eBird. Given that the pelicans were on the
sand and not flying, they might still be around -- I don't know.

One ROSEATE and two ROYAL TERNS also reported, along with Little Blue Heron
and Clapper Rail with chicks.

Just passing this along.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan, NYC 7/2-10 (& migration to 7/11)

[Thomas Fiore]

Manhattan, N.Y. City - including Central, Riverside, & multiple other Parks
Monday, 2 July, thru Tuesday, 10 July, 2018 - and -

… Update for Wed., July 11th, a Louisiana Waterthrush has come back, a 
southbound migrant, in Central Park’s n. end Loch; silent & seen at 5:50 a.m.)  
It is resaonable to assume that some other / additional migrants may be around; 
certainly some more will with any further cool fronts.

While many nesting birds have had either / both nestlings & fledglings in the 
city parks, there also have been a modest passage of southbound migrants - 
which at this time of year, are part of a subtle-enough passage that not all 
that many are noted. It’s reasonable to assume there are more than have been or 
are now being reported, in this half of July, especially for a lot of land bird 
migrants, in areas where (now) few are looking much.

Some of the migrants that have passed thru or are still being seen include[d]: 
Spotted Sandpiper, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Tree Swallow, Northern 
Rough-winged Swallow, Barn Swallow, Red-breasted Nuthatch, & the following 
Warblers - Prairie (as of 7/9, Monday), Worm-eating (as of 7/10, Tuesday), & 
also multiple Yellow Warblers (besides those lingering) and at least a 
half-dozen more American Redstarts (beisdes a few that may have been lingering 
since mid June), plus Common Yellowthroat and Black-and-white, the latter at 
least a single female staying in the same area, & the male Magnolia Warbler 
which just never left since late spring… these 7 warbler spp. all just in 
Central Park, while at least a few Yellow Warblers & Common Yellowthroat (the 2 
regularly-breeding species of warbler in parts of Manhattan) have been noted in 
some other parks, including Riverside’s less-frequented areas, & also farther 
to the north on the island of Manhattan.

Lightly annotated list of species seen over 10 days:

Double-crested Cormorant (rather common)
Great Egret (common as fly-overs, in east-west & west-east movements, also a 
few stopping in to feed in Central Park)
Snowy Egret (flyovers, mainly east-west & west-east as is customary on the 
local summer flyway)
Green Heron (multiple nests and some successful now)

including multiple fly-overs those hours)

Canada Goose

young)
Black-capped Chickadee (few)
