[nysbirds-l] Wilson’s Plover

2019-05-17 Thread Corey Finger
Continues at Cupsogue. Shai Mitra found it east in front of the houses but it 
has since moved west again and is just west of the cut through the dunes at the 
west end of the parking lot.

Good Birding,

[nysbirds-l] Wilson’s plover

2019-05-17 Thread Michael Higgiston
Present at Cupsogue this AM at 7:30   However it is much further east than 
previously reported. Walk the road from the parking lot and at the end of the 
tree line on the bay side there are 2 paths, one to the bay, the other to the 
ocean. Take the ocean path to the beach and turn left.  The Wilson’s was 
between the shore line and enclosure

[nysbirds-l] Central Park NYC- Thu.May 16, 2019 Kentucky Warbler at the Oven

2019-05-17 Thread Deborah Allen
Central Park NYC
Thursday May 16, 2019
OBS: Sandra Critelli, m.ob. including Signe Hammer


Sandra Critelli led a bird walk Thursday evening, finding, among other birds, a 
Kentucky Warbler at the Oven. Birders coming into the park today to look for 
the Swainson's Warbler may want to check the part of the Ramble near the Oven 
and the Point for the Kentucky Warbler. 

Congrats Sandra for a great find.

[nysbirds-l] Burrowing Owl - NO, Big Egg Marsh, Queens County

2019-05-17 Thread Timothy Healy
Despite an extensive search at the last known location beginning around 5:10, 
there has been no sign of the Burrowing Owl in or around the construction zone 
at Big Egg Marsh. The workers appear to be slowly gathering, but no 
construction has begun as of this writing. Many of the surprisingly few birders 
present are starting to head off to work. If anyone else follows up and has 
better luck than we have, I’m sure there are many New York birders who would 
greatly appreciate prompt updates with adequate details. 

Cheers,

[nysbirds-l] Wilson’s Plover -yes

2019-05-17 Thread Christopher Gangemi
Looks like I arrived to find the Wilson’s Plover just after Shai and Patricia 
left. 

At first it was just ouside the enclosure and eventually I watched it walk west 
and into the dune grass. 

When I saw it, around 11:20, it was about 2/3 of the way back to the western 
edge of the parking lot from the cut out to the beach described earlier by Mike 
H. 

So during that period, it would have made more sense to not walk the dirt road 
to the beach access but instead, access the beach from the western part of the 
lot.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan & New York County, NYC 5/16-17

2019-05-17 Thread Thomas Fiore
An amazing discovery by Jennifer Kepler of a Burrowing Owl at the Jamaica Bay 
refuge area’s “Big Egg marsh” in Queens County, NY on Thursday, 5/16 - 
congratulations to her & the lucky few other observers. The owl was also 
photographed there, on THURSDAY. 

--
Manhattan & New York County, N.Y. City -
Thursday-Friday, 16-17 May, 2019 

Friday morning (5/17) had what seemed far fewer individual migrants & perhaps 
lower species-diversity, judging from just Central Park and adjacent small 
greenspaces & streets, by comparison with the strong push and drop-in of 
migrants of the day prior.   That noted, there are still plenty of migrants, & 
some of the rarer species may yet be re-discovered, &/or new discoveries made. 
I spent about 90 minutes from a bit before actual sunrise to nearly 7 a.m., 
with just 1 other birder in the immediate vicinity of the prior areas the 
Thursday Swainson’s Warbler had frequented, and we did not re-find it in that 
time period. Other birders also have since been on the look-&-listen for that 
rare species in the Ramble; on Friday a.m. [before 9 a.m.] there had been no 
confirmed re-discovery.  Despite what appeared to be less diversity, I was able 
to confirm 18 warbler species in Central Park by about 8 a.m., many of these in 
the southern half of the park, with a visit to the south & west reservoir edges 
& adjacent bridle path.

There IS the chance that the Swainson’s Warbler is continuing in Central Park, 
& even in the same general area where first discovered, but at least equally, 
the chance that with very favorable conditions for migration on Thursday night, 
that bird (along with a lot of other drop-ins) may have moved on. If anyone 
does come upon the Swainson’s again anywhere, try to get an audio-clip of song, 
if it is noted singing. That was a wonderful feature of B. Van Doren’s report!

Thanks of course to Benjamin Van Doren for the find of the Swainson’s Warbler, 
also to Arie Gilbert for his Thursday p.m. help in re-finding when the warbler 
had gone missing for a spell; as well as to all on-scene who behaved well all 
day long, permitting this rare ‘southerner' to be seen by so many observers on 
Thursday - & for the greater part of the day.

Incidentally, for some context & documented records of Swainson’s Warbler in 
2019 in the wider region north of the known breeding range, besides the Central 
Park find (which is well-documented!) there were (at least) these sighings also 
just this spring: one banded & photographed 4 May, at Powder Mill Nature 
Reserve, Westmoreland Co., PA (western PA); one photographed & seen by many on 
13 May in Clark Co., Ohio (western OH); one photographed on 16 May in 
Monongalia Co., West Virgina, which may be close to potential breeding grounds, 
but is listed as 2nd-ever record for that county in WV; & written records from 
Cape May County-Higbee’s beach, N.J. from 23-24-25 April, & 5 & 6 May w/ many 
observers; these are all in 2019.  Many other 2019 spring sightings have come 
from within, or south of, the known breeding range of the species. There is 
also a photographed bird from Boone Co., Missouri on 13 to 16 May (2019), an 
apparent first record of this species at that location (Grindstone Nature 
Area); this is likely a bit north of the species known breeding areas for 
Missouri.

- - - -
[5/16]
Including the rare southern-breeding Swainson’s Warbler at Central Park, a 
minimum of 28 species of warblers were found just on Thursday, 5/16 in New York 
County (which includes Manhattan, as well as the adjacent islands: Randall’s 
and Governors Islands, and a few other smaller isles and parts of the 
surrounding waters  All of those 28 warbler species were found on Manhattan 
island with somewhat lower warbler diversity seen or reported on the outlying 
isles); also in the list below, a couple of additional warbler species which 
were reported from Central Park; a Kentucky Warbler was seen by multiple 
observers in the western part of the Central Park Ramble on Thursday (5/16) 
morning, in addition to a near-simultaneous Kentucky at the north end, west of 
the Blockhouse. A Cerulean Warbler was reported from near Turtle Pond in 
Central but with no further follow-up to that sighting. With much movement 
particularly of more-arboreal species in the early a.m. Thursday, some birds 
may have moved around, and some certainly also moved on by mid-day on Thursday 
if not a lot earlier.

Also seen in Manhattan NYC on 5/16 were all 6 species of northeastern-breeding 
vireo species, at least 5 (of the 6) Catharus [genus] thrush species of N. 
America (lacking any confirmed-by-song Bicknell’s), at least 7 species of 
shorebirds (aka ‘waders’ to much of the rest of the world), at least 9 species 
of tyrannidae (new world flycatchers; lacking confirmed Alder Flycatcher), & 
(mostly-heard) Evening Grosbeaks (minimum of two, again in the Ramble of 
Central Park & lost early thanks to the shuffle-of-the-deck, and the super find

[nysbirds-l] Burrowing Owl - NO, Big Egg Marsh, Queens County

2019-05-17 Thread Timothy Healy
Despite an extensive search at the last known location beginning around 5:10, 
there has been no sign of the Burrowing Owl in or around the construction zone 
at Big Egg Marsh. The workers appear to be slowly gathering, but no 
construction has begun as of this writing. Many of the surprisingly few birders 
present are starting to head off to work. If anyone else follows up and has 
better luck than we have, I’m sure there are many New York birders who would 
greatly appreciate prompt updates with adequate details. 

Cheers,

Sandra Critelli led a bird walk Thursday evening, finding, among other birds, a 
Kentucky Warbler at the Oven. Birders coming into the park today to look for 
the Swainson's Warbler may want to check the part of the Ramble near the Oven 
and the Point for the Kentucky Warbler.

[nysbirds-l] Wilson’s Plover -yes

2019-05-17 Thread Christopher Gangemi
Looks like I arrived to find the Wilson’s Plover just after Shai and Patricia 
left. 

At first it was just ouside the enclosure and eventually I watched it walk west 
and into the dune grass. 

When I saw it, around 11:20, it was about 2/3 of the way back to the western 
edge of the parking lot from the cut out to the beach described earlier by Mike 
H. 

So during that period, it would have made more sense to not walk the dirt road 
to the beach access but instead, access the beach from the western part of the 
lot.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan & New York County, NYC 5/16-17

2019-05-17 Thread Thomas Fiore
An amazing discovery by Jennifer Kepler of a Burrowing Owl at the Jamaica Bay 
refuge area’s “Big Egg marsh” in Queens County, NY on Thursday, 5/16 - 
congratulations to her & the lucky few other observers. The owl was also 
photographed there, on THURSDAY. 

--
Manhattan & New York County, N.Y. City -
Thursday-Friday, 16-17 May, 2019 

Friday morning (5/17) had what seemed far fewer individual migrants & perhaps 
lower species-diversity, judging from just Central Park and adjacent small 
greenspaces & streets, by comparison with the strong push and drop-in of 
migrants of the day prior.   That noted, there are still plenty of migrants, & 
some of the rarer species may yet be re-discovered, &/or new discoveries made. 
I spent about 90 minutes from a bit before actual sunrise to nearly 7 a.m., 
with just 1 other birder in the immediate vicinity of the prior areas the 
Thursday Swainson’s Warbler had frequented, and we did not re-find it in that 
time period. Other birders also have since been on the look-&-listen for that 
rare species in the Ramble; on Friday a.m. [before 9 a.m.] there had been no 
confirmed re-discovery.  Despite what appeared to be less diversity, I was able 
to confirm 18 warbler species in Central Park by about 8 a.m., many of these in 
the southern half of the park, with a visit to the south & west reservoir edges 
& adjacent bridle path.

There IS the chance that the Swainson’s Warbler is continuing in Central Park, 
& even in the same general area where first discovered, but at least equally, 
the chance that with very favorable conditions for migration on Thursday night, 
that bird (along with a lot of other drop-ins) may have moved on. If anyone 
does come upon the Swainson’s again anywhere, try to get an audio-clip of song, 
if it is noted singing. That was a wonderful feature of B. Van Doren’s report!

Thanks of course to Benjamin Van Doren for the find of the Swainson’s Warbler, 
also to Arie Gilbert for his Thursday p.m. help in re-finding when the warbler 
had gone missing for a spell; as well as to all on-scene who behaved well all 
day long, permitting this rare ‘southerner' to be seen by so many observers on 
Thursday - & for the greater part of the day.

Incidentally, for some context & documented records of Swainson’s Warbler in 
2019 in the wider region north of the known breeding range, besides the Central 
Park find (which is well-documented!) there were (at least) these sighings also 
just this spring: one banded & photographed 4 May, at Powder Mill Nature 
Reserve, Westmoreland Co., PA (western PA); one photographed & seen by many on 
13 May in Clark Co., Ohio (western OH); one photographed on 16 May in 
Monongalia Co., West Virgina, which may be close to potential breeding grounds, 
but is listed as 2nd-ever record for that county in WV; & written records from 
Cape May County-Higbee’s beach, N.J. from 23-24-25 April, & 5 & 6 May w/ many 
observers; these are all in 2019.  Many other 2019 spring sightings have come 
from within, or south of, the known breeding range of the species. There is 
also a photographed bird from Boone Co., Missouri on 13 to 16 May (2019), an 
apparent first record of this species at that location (Grindstone Nature 
Area); this is likely a bit north of the species known breeding areas for 
Missouri.

- - - -
[5/16]
Including the rare southern-breeding Swainson’s Warbler at Central Park, a 
minimum of 28 species of warblers were found just on Thursday, 5/16 in New York 
County (which includes Manhattan, as well as the adjacent islands: Randall’s 
and Governors Islands, and a few other smaller isles and parts of the 
surrounding waters  All of those 28 warbler species were found on Manhattan 
island with somewhat lower warbler diversity seen or reported on the outlying 
isles); also in the list below, a couple of additional warbler species which 
were reported from Central Park; a Kentucky Warbler was seen by multiple 
observers in the western part of the Central Park Ramble on Thursday (5/16) 
morning, in addition to a near-simultaneous Kentucky at the north end, west of 
the Blockhouse. A Cerulean Warbler was reported from near Turtle Pond in 
Central but with no further follow-up to that sighting. With much movement 
particularly of more-arboreal species in the early a.m. Thursday, some birds 
may have moved around, and some certainly also moved on by mid-day on Thursday 
if not a lot earlier.

Also seen in Manhattan NYC on 5/16 were all 6 species of northeastern-breeding 
vireo species, at least 5 (of the 6) Catharus [genus] thrush species of N. 
America (lacking any confirmed-by-song Bicknell’s), at least 7 species of 
shorebirds (aka ‘waders’ to much of the rest of the world), at least 9 species 
of tyrannidae (new world flycatchers; lacking confirmed Alder Flycatcher), & 
(mostly-heard) Evening Grosbeaks (minimum of two, again in the Ramble of 
Central Park & lost early thanks to the shuffle-of-the-deck, and the super find

Still here at 4:58. Walk past visitor center and take trail north into
garden with big brown sign. People are watching the bird within sight

[nysbirds-l] Forest Lawn Cemetery - Buffalo

2019-05-17 Thread Joseph Fell
 I had both a Canada Warbler and Northern Waterthrush at  Forest Lawn
today.  It seems that much of the activity over the past week or so has
settled down.
