[nysbirds-l] Wood Stork - 7:35am update - Yes

[Long Island Birding]

Bird is still feeding across the canal on Baycrest Ave, Westhampton. There
is a pull out at the end of the road to park in. Then walk up and look
across, feeding with egrets and glossy ibis at a distance. It sometimes
goes behind the phragmites, so might need some patience. Seems content for
now. Good luck!

[nysbirds-l] N.Y. County (NYC), 5/6 - 12+ Eve. Grosbeaks, Bobolinks, 27+ warbler spp., etc.

[Tom Fiore]

New York County, including Manhattan, Governors Island, & Randall’s IslandThursday, May 6 -At least one dozen Evening Grosbeaks visited Central Park in Manhattan on Thursday, with flocks of up to eight at once in the areas of the Pinetum and nearby, while at least four more were in other more far-flung areas of the park as well (and many seen concurrently), with multiple observers. There were at least a few additional reports from other areas of Manhattan (lower and upper), mainly involving singles of this species. (We still have not come close however to historic numbers observed in the county, including in Central Park, over past decades in big years for this species. A big difference now is that many hundreds of observers have been able to watch this species here, an area where the species is decidedly unexpected in most years!)  The larger flocks of ‘Eve-beaks’ in Central Park were present all thru the day, first-light thru sunset. It will be interesting to see if any greater numbers are yet seen this month in the county.A nice flock of Bobolinks was continuing on Governors Island on Thursday (C. Weiner), that island once again open to public access, with reservations currently required for the ferries.  Plenty of other migrants and some resident birds are also being found on Governors Island, and the same can be said of Randall’s Island too. An excellent showing of warblers and other birds was made at Carl Schurz Park on Manhattan’s east side on Thursday, in a popular walk (guided by G. Willow).  Many other parks all across Manhattan were producing a wide variety of migrants. One such, a smaller park on West 22nd St., Clement Moore park and playground, had an Orange-crowned Warbler reported, with details (P. Shure), the latter species also reported again from Central Park.  It can also be noted that Tennessee  Warblers are passing through now, including some Thursday & at least a few seen & heard in Central Park.  Central Park alone had at least 25 warbler species on Thursday, as seen by many, many observers spread throughout the park all through the day. Other parks also fared well for warbler diversity as well as other migrants & residents.  One example of a much watched individual warbler was the Worm-eating putting on a show, with a Solitary Sandpiper also in the same area in the park’s n. end.  Some of us managed to find 24 warbler species in Central Park’s north end, without getting south of 103rd Street, & with quiet patience the key. Also found at the same time were 5 vireo species: White-eyed, Yellow-throated, Blue-headed, Red-eyed, and Warbling Vireos. A ‘bonus-bird’ was a perched Common Nighthawk (‘lump on a limb’).Some migrants in Central Park may be seen on days of high diversity migration by walking the miles of the bridle paths which extend far beyond the Central Park reservoir; as a reminder, that was how the park’s one-and-only Kirtland’s Warbler was discovered not so long ago, one of the city’s many great rarities (seen by multi-hundreds during its few days stay in the month of May). A LOT of birds can be found near & along those bridle paths at times & much of those are not that well-covered by birders despite so many in that park during peak migration times.  We are thankful to Debbie Becker & others for reporting sightings from the s. end of Central Park, which deserves to be watched in most any season, and to all reporting from diverse parts of Manhattan & other places in the county.Excellent migration occurred overnight Thursday to Friday (May 7) all up & down the eastern U.S. and into Canada, & this was possibly the strongest night of migration so far this spring for much of that huge region. ... a few of us birding the north end of Central Park enjoyed the ‘one-day-after’ performance by an authentic mariachi band, at the Conservatory Garden (with ‘VIP’ guests, and happily open to all of the public, within that formal garden setting, around the noon hour). In addition to the music and dancing were the two tanager species, Summer & Scarlet, as well as 2 oriole species, Orchard & Baltimore to enjoy in that setting. ...A migration arrival of Ladys were observed as well on Thursday - butterflies, that is, both Painted and American Lady in numbers, some moving steadily north, some stopping off. That was interesting given the predominant NW winds locally, which however diminished as the day went on.good listening-with-patience birding,Tom Fiore manhattan

[~BEGIN RBA TAPE~]

Greetings! This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 7, 2021 at
11:00 pm.

The highlights of today's tape are WOOD STORK, WHITE-FACED IBIS,
CHUCK-WILL'S-WIDOW, KING EIDER, LEAST BITTERN, WHIMBREL, CASPIAN and ROYAL
TERNS, RED-HEADED WOODPECKER, CLAY-COLORED SPARROW, EVENING GROSBEAK,
YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT, YELLOW-THROATED and KENTUCKY WARBLERS, SUMMER
TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK and more.

This week's prize find is certainly the WOOD STORK present through today
out in Westhampton. Photographed Monday and Tuesday and perhaps seen the
day before, it wasn't until Thursday that its whereabouts were pinned
down.  Both Thursday and today it was located just south of Montauk Highway
along Beaverdam Creek just a little west of where Montauk Highway crosses
the intersection of Old Country Road to the north and Mill Road on the
South side.  The bird apparently has a favored roosting tree and feeds
along the creek, and today it was also noted feeding further south down the
creek as viewed from the end of Baycrest Avenue on the East side of the
creek.

The WHITE-FACED IBIS from last Friday was seen again Saturday and Monday in
the Captree Island marshes.

A CHUCK-WILL'S-WIDOW was a good find in Prospect Park last Saturday as it
sat well-camouflaged on the ground.

Among the decent variety of lingering waterfowl were 3 KING EIDER, a young
male off Fort Tilden Sunday and two females off Far Rockaway Beach
Wednesday.

A LEAST BITTERN  had returned to Arshamomaque Preserve in Greenport West as
of yesterday, and among the shorebirds, 3 WHIMBRELS were found at Fort
Tilden Saturday.

Very early was a ROYAL TERN spotted at Robert Moses State Park Wednesday,
with one also seen at Arshamomaque Preserve the next day, while a CASPIAN
TERN visited Croton Point Park last Sunday.

An ICELAND GULL was reported at Heckscher State Park Monday, and a count at
Moses Park Wednesday featured 17 LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS and 40 NORTHERN
GANNETS.

RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS moving through included individuals at Fort Greene
Park in Brooklyn Monday and in Central Park today.

A CLAY-COLORED SPARROW was a nice find in Gantry Plaza State Park in Queens
yesterday, and other notable migrant SPARROWS lately have included
GRASSHOPPER, WHITE-CROWNED and LINCOLN'S.

Highlights among the 30 or so WARBLER species passing through despite the
weather conditions this week were a YELLOW-THROATED in Central Park
Saturday and a KENTUCKY in Greenwood Cemetery Monday and Tuesday.  A nice
push of CERULEAN WARBLERS last Sunday produced reports from Central,
Prospect and Riverside Parks, and ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER was reported
during the week from Central and Prospect Parks and Tibbetts Brook Park in
Yonkers.  Other arriving WARBLERS included TENNESSEE, BAY-BREASTED, CANADA
and WILSON'S as well as more WORM-EATING, HOODED, CAPE MAY and an overall
nice variety.

A YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT occurred in Central Park Tuesday.

SUMMER TANAGER reports included one in Green-Wood Cemetery last Saturday
and another at Rockefeller State Park Preserve on Tuesday, while BLUE
GROSBEAKS were found in Central Park Sunday and Tuesday, at Robert Moses
State Park Wednesday and also out on Eastern Long Island at breeding sites
by Thursday.

EVENING GROSBEAKS still visiting city parks this week have been a real
treat, with 12 reported in Central Park yesterday.

Other recent arrivals have included COMMON NIGHTHAWK, SORA, YELLOW-BILLED
and BLACK-BILLED CUCKOOS, EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE, WILLOW and LEAST FLYCATCHERS
and

[nysbirds-l] N.Y. County (NYC), 5/6 - 12+ Eve. Grosbeaks, Bobolinks, 27+ warbler spp., etc.

[Tom Fiore]

New York County, including Manhattan, Governors Island, & Randall’s IslandThursday, May 6 -At least one dozen Evening Grosbeaks visited Central Park in Manhattan on Thursday, with flocks of up to eight at once in the areas of the Pinetum and nearby, while at least four more were in other more far-flung areas of the park as well (and many seen concurrently), with multiple observers. There were at least a few additional reports from other areas of Manhattan (lower and upper), mainly involving singles of this species. (We still have not come close however to historic numbers observed in the county, including in Central Park, over past decades in big years for this species. A big difference now is that many hundreds of observers have been able to watch this species here, an area where the species is decidedly unexpected in most years!)  The larger flocks of ‘Eve-beaks’ in Central Park were present all thru the day, first-light thru sunset. It will be interesting to see if any greater numbers are yet seen this month in the county.A nice flock of Bobolinks was continuing on Governors Island on Thursday (C. Weiner), that island once again open to public access, with reservations currently required for the ferries.  Plenty of other migrants and some resident birds are also being found on Governors Island, and the same can be said of Randall’s Island too. An excellent showing of warblers and other birds was made at Carl Schurz Park on Manhattan’s east side on Thursday, in a popular walk (guided by G. Willow).  Many other parks all across Manhattan were producing a wide variety of migrants. One such, a smaller park on West 22nd St., Clement Moore park and playground, had an Orange-crowned Warbler reported, with details (P. Shure), the latter species also reported again from Central Park.  It can also be noted that Tennessee  Warblers are passing through now, including some Thursday & at least a few seen & heard in Central Park.  Central Park alone had at least 25 warbler species on Thursday, as seen by many, many observers spread throughout the park all through the day. Other parks also fared well for warbler diversity as well as other migrants & residents.  One example of a much watched individual warbler was the Worm-eating putting on a show, with a Solitary Sandpiper also in the same area in the park’s n. end.  Some of us managed to find 24 warbler species in Central Park’s north end, without getting south of 103rd Street, & with quiet patience the key. Also found at the same time were 5 vireo species: White-eyed, Yellow-throated, Blue-headed, Red-eyed, and Warbling Vireos. A ‘bonus-bird’ was a perched Common Nighthawk (‘lump on a limb’).Some migrants in Central Park may be seen on days of high diversity migration by walking the miles of the bridle paths which extend far beyond the Central Park reservoir; as a reminder, that was how the park’s one-and-only Kirtland’s Warbler was discovered not so long ago, one of the city’s many great rarities (seen by multi-hundreds during its few days stay in the month of May). A LOT of birds can be found near & along those bridle paths at times & much of those are not that well-covered by birders despite so many in that park during peak migration times.  We are thankful to Debbie Becker & others for reporting sightings from the s. end of Central Park, which deserves to be watched in most any season, and to all reporting from diverse parts of Manhattan & other places in the county.Excellent migration occurred overnight Thursday to Friday (May 7) all up & down the eastern U.S. and into Canada, & this was possibly the strongest night of migration so far this spring for much of that huge region. ... a few of us birding the north end of Central Park enjoyed the ‘one-day-after’ performance by an authentic mariachi band, at the Conservatory Garden (with ‘VIP’ guests, and happily open to all of the public, within that formal garden setting, around the noon hour). In addition to the music and dancing were the two tanager species, Summer & Scarlet, as well as 2 oriole species, Orchard & Baltimore to enjoy in that setting. ...A migration arrival of Ladys were observed as well on Thursday - butterflies, that is, both Painted and American Lady in numbers, some moving steadily north, some stopping off. That was interesting given the predominant NW winds locally, which however diminished as the day went on.good listening-with-patience birding,Tom Fiore manhattan

[nysbirds-l] Friday AM Wood Stork

[Katherine Kleinpeter]

The Wood Stork previously reported yesterday was observed at 5:40 this
morning roosting in a tree on the west side of the creek at the location
previously provided by observers. Shortly after I arrived it was harassed
by an Osprey, taking off and flying south along the creek.

If you’re out east this weekend this might be worth a shot. I imagine it will 
be quite a “twitch” with lots of birders wanting it for their state lists.

[nysbirds-l] Wood Stork - 7:35am update - Yes

[Long Island Birding]

Bird is still feeding across the canal on Baycrest Ave, Westhampton. There
is a pull out at the end of the road to park in. Then walk up and look
across, feeding with egrets and glossy ibis at a distance. It sometimes
goes behind the phragmites, so might need some patience. Seems content for
now. Good luck!

[~BEGIN RBA TAPE~]

Greetings! This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 7, 2021 at
11:00 pm.

The highlights of today's tape are WOOD STORK, WHITE-FACED IBIS,
CHUCK-WILL'S-WIDOW, KING EIDER, LEAST BITTERN, WHIMBREL, CASPIAN and ROYAL
TERNS, RED-HEADED WOODPECKER, CLAY-COLORED SPARROW, EVENING GROSBEAK,
YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT, YELLOW-THROATED and KENTUCKY WARBLERS, SUMMER
TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK and more.

This week's prize find is certainly the WOOD STORK present through today
out in Westhampton. Photographed Monday and Tuesday and perhaps seen the
day before, it wasn't until Thursday that its whereabouts were pinned
down.  Both Thursday and today it was located just south of Montauk Highway
along Beaverdam Creek just a little west of where Montauk Highway crosses
the intersection of Old Country Road to the north and Mill Road on the
South side.  The bird apparently has a favored roosting tree and feeds
