Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for *Friday, September 9th
2022* at 11pm. The highlights of today's tape are NORTHERN WHEATEAR, BROWN
BOOBY, ANHINGA, NEOTROPIC CORMORANT, BROWN PELICAN, white morph of GREAT
BLUE HERON, AMERICAN AVOCET, AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER, BUFF-BREASTED and
BAIRD'S SANDPIPERS, MARBLED GODWIT, CLAY-COLORED SPARROW, YELLOW-BREASTED
CHAT, YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER, DICKCISSEL and more.
Last Wednesday morning the season's first NORTHERN WHEATEAR was found along
the edge of Hillview Reservoir in Yonkers but access there is strictly
limited and unfortunately birders were unable to search for this bird.
An adult BROWN BOOBY was spotted from Governors Island last Wednesday
morning moving south but a short time later also seen milling about in the
fog so it is possible the BOOBY may continue in that area of Lower New York
Bay.
Two lingering rarities to our north featured a female ANHINGA still present
last Monday on Lake Tappan in Rockland County. Look for it on the east side
of the lake north of Convent Road and south of Blauvelt Road and the Orange
County NEOTROPIC CORMORANT still today using the pilings and structures off
the Global Marine Terminal off River Road south of the Newburgh ferry
terminal.
A BROWN PELICAN was reported last Saturday moving over Napeague Bay on the
south fork while the white morph of GREAT BLUE HERON was still present on
the south side of Piermont Pier today.
An AMERICAN AVOCET spotted Monday was still in the tidal channel along the
Lloyd Harbor Road causeway on Wednesday the same day one was present in the
marsh at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area.
Sod fields out on Long Island's north fork have recently been attracting
some grassland shorebirds. Fields in Cutchogue along Oregon Road and Duck
Pond Road have produced up to 4 BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS along with an
UPLAND SANDPIPER Tuesday and Wednesday, a reported BAIRD'S SANDPIPER and a
few AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVERS. When visiting please remember to be mindful of
the local residents and stay out of the farmers fields. Single BAIRD'S
SANDPIPERS were also noted at Robert Moses State Park Monday and Heckscher
State Park Tuesday and a seawatch at Moses Monday produced 29 CORY'S and 2
GREAT SHEARWATERS.
Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge also remains a mecca for shorebirds with the
East Pond still hosting 2 HUDSONIAN GODWITS to Monday with one on Wednesday
plus a WILSON'S PHALAROPE continuing to Monday along with some PECTORAL,
WHITE-RUMPED, WESTERN and STILT SANDPIPERS. Also at the bay have been a
SORA at the south end of the East Pond and occasional visits by BLACK and
CASPIAN TERNS and out in Jamaica Bay proper at Yellow Bar Hassock last
Saturday shorebirds included a MARBLED GODWIT and 2 WHIMBREL.
An immature BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE was a surprise visitor to western Long
Island Sound being seen at distance from the Fort Totten area on Wednesday
and yesterday.
The Bronx has also recently produced a few LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS and
BLACK TERNS and a CASPIAN TERN was in Rye Monday.
A CLAY-COLORED SPARROW was photographed in Brooklyn's Green-wood Cemetery
Monday the same day a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT appeared in Central Park’s north
end. A YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER was spotted at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum
Thursday and other unusual warblers included an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER
reported on Randall's Island
[nysbirds-l] Stone Bridge Nighthawk Watch, Setauket, NY, September 10, 2022
This evening, thirteen observers and 4 counters enjoyed the highest count night this year at the Frank Melville Memorial Park stone bridge in Setauket. In less than two hours (114 minutes), we tallied 311 nighthawks, most feeding south of the South pond (at one point, up to 100 lingered there to feed) before eventually continuing westward.Throughout the count period, about 70 of the 311 nighthawks passed overhead, close enough to determine that at least one was an immature bird. See directions below if you would like to join us at the Stone Bridge to tally or observe. Patrice Domeischel John Turner Directions to Stone Bridge Nighthawk Watch: Take the Long Island Expressway to Exit 62 (Nicolls Road). Take Nicolls Road north to the end where it joins State Route 25A in a T-intersection (you'll go past signs to Stony Brook University and go under the LIRR trestle right before the intersection). Make a right on SR 25A heading east for just a few hundred yards. Make a left at the next light, heading north on Main Street. Take this to the end passing through three stop signs) At the fourth stop sign look left and you'll see the stone bridge, in front of you is a post office. Make a right and park in one of the many parking spots lining the south side of the road. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
