Even without referring to eBird data, it sure seems to be an exceptional year for this species, in terms of both the number of birds and their seasonal lateness. And not just on Long Island, but throughout the Northeast (even up into maritime Canada).

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, November 16th
2018 at 9pm. The highlights of today's tape are GRAY KINGBIRD,
SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER, NORTHERN SHRIKE, LITTLE GULL, SANDHILL CRANE,
NORTHERN GOSHAWK, BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE, Audubon's form of YELLOW-RUMPED
WARBLER, BLUE GROSBEAK and some winter finches.
Last Saturday morning a GRAY KINGBIRD was found and photographed near the
park entrance booth at Jones Beach West End. Those who could get there
quickly were able to see the KINGBIRD but with the heavy winds the bird
disappeared shortly thereafter and could not be subsequently be relocated.
Given its rarity locally, a SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER Saturday morning at
Point Lookout Town Park across Jones Inlet from the GRAY KINGBIRD received
surprisingly little notoriety and also could not be re-found once word
starting getting spread. Four HARLEQUIN DUCKS were around the Point Lookout
jetties Saturday.
A great coastal flight Sunday morning after Saturday's winds abated
somewhat was documented nicely at Fort Tilden and at Robert Moses State
Park. A highlight at Fort Tilden was an immature NORTHERN SHRIKE hanging
around the Battery Harris observation site for awhile before disappearing
at midday. Also notable there were various winter finches
including single EVENING GROSBEAK and COMMON REDPOLL among over 95 PINE
SISKINS and 125 PURPLE FINCHES, 79 RUSTY BLACKBIRDS were also counted and 2
RED-NECKED GREBES were seen offshore with a few other RED-NECKEDS also
noted this week. At Robert Moses State Park Sunday there were around 1,000
PINE SISKINS as well as an EVENING GROSBEAK and a few RED CROSSBILLS with 5
RED CROSSBILLS also found feeding in the conifers at the inner Jones Beach
West End turnaround. The hedgerow by the West End Coast Guard Station
Sunday provided an Audubon's form of YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER as well as a
CAPE MAY WARBLER. A second immature NORTHERN SHRIKE also appeared Sunday at
Heckscher State Park near field 6 but it too flew off around midday.
On Thursday a large offshore congregation of gulls at Moses Park featured
an immature LITTLE GULL and attracted a PARASITIC JAEGER. A BLACK-LEGGED
KITTIWAKE was seen off Moses Wednesday morning.
Among some widely dispersed EVENING GROSBEAKS this week was one at Jones
Beach West End yesterday while a few sightings of RED CROSSBILLS included
one each at Green-wood Cemetery Sunday and Floyd Bennett Field Monday,
these in Brooklyn, 6 more at Jones Beach West End Tuesday, 6 at Moses Park
Wednesday and 5 at Tobay Beach today.
At the hawkwatch site at the Greenwich Audubon Center in northwestern
Greenwich a flock of about 30 SANDHILL CRANES past high over the site
Wednesday morning followed by another much lower group of 12 Thursday
morning both flocks moving southwest into Westchester County. The Wednesday
group was seen approaching the Hudson River near Ardsley but the Thursday
dozen were not sighted again.
CATTLE EGRETS included one over Point Lookout and 2 at Wainscott Pond last
Saturday as well as one at Southaven County Park on Tuesday. This latter
one presumably the same one seen today in the Route 27 median just west of
the park.
NORTHERN GOSHAWKS, all immatures, were reported this week from Pelham Bay
Park Saturday, from Tobay and West Gilgo Sunday, presumably the same
individual, and at Moses Park Wednesday. At least 4 MARBLED GODWITS
continued at Jones Beach West End to Thursday and up to 12 LESSER
BLACK-BACKED GULLS were in the Jones Beach West End parking lot to Saturday.
Single AMERICAN BITTERNS were seen today at the Marine Park Salt Marsh
Nature Center in Brooklyn and at Tobay. A
