[nysbirds-l] Go west, "young" old man, go west !

2015-04-21 Thread robert adamo
Leaving Riverhead this morning, my first destination was scheduled to be
RMSP, but as I approached Ocean Parkway, and finding the draw-bridge up, I
quickly hung a right and proceeded to check out Captree Island. There was 6
Greater Yellowlegs on the marsh, as well as a late, feeding, female Hooded
Merganser.

 Birds seen upon arriving at RMSK were at least (1) adult Peregrine Falcon*
(resident ?)on the w/s of the water tower, and 3 Black-bellied Plovers,
resting with a group of gulls in the parking lot.

Captree SP was next, and although I couldn't find the Lesser Black-backed
Gulls reported yesterday, I did get my FOS Barn Swallow. in addition to (3)
Boat-tailed Grackles.

The ride down to the west end of Jones Beach SP was uneventful, but once
there, did see the female Indigo Bunting found by Pat Palladino.

En-route home, I finally went searching for the Mastic Bald Eagles, and did
see one of the "full" adults.

A single Turkey Vulture (Lonesome George ?) was waiting for me in
Riverhead, followed by (2) soaring, stacked accipiters (with Cooper's low,
and Sharp-shinned high) over our condo property.

*There could have been two birds, because as I passed the tower the 2nd
time, the w/s bird was gone, but another, adult peregrine was perched on
the e/s. Probably the same bird just moving to the sunniest side...but who
knows !

Cheers,
Bob

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 4/21

2015-04-21 Thread Thomas Fiore

Tuesday, 21 April, 2015

Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City) had a nice arrival - some of the  
birds may have actually filtered in on Monday, but clearly more showed  
up overnight. At least 11 species of warbler were noted in the park  
(and it's possible a few additionals were), although pride of place  
will still go to Prospect Park in Brooklyn with their ongoing  
Prothonotary and Yellow-throated Warblers as well as at least 10 other  
warbler spp. there...


For Central, among the migrants noted this day were:

Green Heron
Solitary Sandpiper
Spotted Sandpiper
Chimney Swift
Eastern Kingbird
Blue-headed Vireo
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Hermit Thrush
Wood Thrush
Gray Catbird

Northern Parula
Yellow Warbler
[Myrtle] Yellow-rumped Warbler (building no's.)
Pine Warbler
Prairie Warbler
Palm Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
Ovenbird
Northern Waterthrush
Louisiana Waterthrush
Common Yellowthroat

Scarlet Tanager (early)
Eastern Towhee
Chipping Sparrow
Field Sparrow
Savannah Sparrow
Swamp Sparrow
White-throated Sparrow
Dark-eyed Junco

Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Rusty Blackbird
Purple Finch
Pine Siskin
American Goldfinch

The above list leaves out a lot of species, including some that have  
been around a while, & perhaps a few much more recent arrivals. Plenty  
of birders out & about and there will be more to seek, as this latest  
arrival generally, city & region-wide has brought a nice variety as  
well as some of the rarer species as mentioned in rapid posts. Also a  
good time to do local "patch" birding, of any smaller neighborhood  
parks or green-spaces, as a "goodie" could be hiding in plain view  
almost anywhere now, with not all too many leaves on the trees &  
shrubs, although that also is changing fairly rapidly after our 1  
summer-strength very warm day.


good birding,

Tom Fiore
Manhattan

[nysbirds-l] Caracara possible sighting

2015-04-21 Thread Richard Guthrie
I picked this up from a facebook posting this evening by Jess Deitz:

"I can't confirm, but I'm almost positive I just saw the Caracara near the
intersection of 17K and 302.. Bullville just past the gas station headed
toward Bloomingburgh. Flew from edge of road into yard.. Black bird, white
neck and head, thick bill was all I could make out driving by. Size was
right."

Thought it would be good to get the word out for what it is.

[nysbirds-l] Valley Stream Louisiana Waterthrush

2015-04-21 Thread Robert Berlingeri
A bright, stunning Louisiana Waterthrush turned up at Valley Stream State
Park this afternoon at about 12:30PM. Picked up by its deep call note
around the stream on the Corona side toward the south end of the park, then
visually about 20 minutes later. A classic bird, as bright as they get with
bright (almost Red) legs. I was hoping to hear its song, but no luck on
that today. - unlike the Northern that was singing periodically from the
interior stream.

7 species of warbler were in today in low numbers, including multiple Black
and White and Yellow Palm. Singles on Parula and Yellow (Singing on
territory). only about 12-15 Myrtle. A bit of a surprise was a singing
Purple Finch moving north.

A group of about 35 Glossy Ibis were seen early moving east.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Blue Grosbeak, Muscoot Farm Westchester

2015-04-21 Thread Ryan MacLean
Still there as of 5:15 PM working the same general area of the field behind the 
gazebo, feeding on the ground near the haymounds on the right side of the 
field. For those unfamiliar w Muscoot Farm, take the trail straight at the far 
end of the parking lot past all of the barns and a field surrounded by a white 
fence, bare right at the first fork til you get to a wooden shed. Take the next 
right and eventually you'll emerge in a field with a gazebo directly infront of 
you. The field directly beyond the gazebo is where the Grosbeak is hanging out, 
about an 8 minute walk from the parking lot. Ann primarily had it on the left 
side of the field working the brushy area and this is where I first spotted it 
(it will occasionally associate w Blackbirds & Cowbirds in treetops). However 
the area we mostly watched the bird was near the hay-mounds on the right just 
when you walk into the field past the gazebo. The bird does flush very easily 
so please keep your distance and stay on the trails as to not corner the bird.


Most importantly, for those who don't know THE PARK GATE CLOSES AT 4 PM. If you 
get there near closing time you should park on Route 100.


Thank you Roger for the awesome find and to Ann for getting the word out!


-Ryan

[nysbirds-l] Forest Park Cleanup

2015-04-21 Thread birdingdude
Reminder: we need volunteers for the Forest Park cleanup. So far the responses 
to participate have been few.

The cleanup effort will occur on April 25th (no rain date). The tasks will 
include light pruning (clippers and pruning saws) and garbage removal. The 
project will focus mainly on the path from the 'Yellow Trail" to the Watehole; 
however, I expect we could expand where necessary. Parks will provide, gloves, 
bags and tools for the effort.

Please contact me offline if you are interested in participating. 

Thank You

[nysbirds-l] Forest Park Cleanup

2015-04-21 Thread birdingdude
Reminder: we need volunteers for the Forest Park cleanup. So far the responses 
to participate have been few.

The cleanup effort will occur on April 25th (no rain date). The tasks will 
include light pruning (clippers and pruning saws) and garbage removal. The 
project will focus mainly on the path from the 'Yellow Trail to the Watehole; 
however, I expect we could expand where necessary. Parks will provide, gloves, 
bags and tools for the effort.

Please contact me offline if you are interested in participating. 

Thank You

[nysbirds-l] Western Suffolk County Birds

2015-04-21 Thread Ken Feustel
At Southard’s Pond this morning there were singing Louisiana (1) and Northern 
Waterthrushes (1), both south of the pond, along with the expected Pine, Palm, 
and Yellow-rumped Warblers. At Robert Moses State Park there were three Glossy 
Ibis on the shoulder of the parkway east of the Water Tower and my FOY Indigo 
Bunting in the median opposite Field 4. No sign of the Lesser Black-backed 
Gulls seen yesterday.

[nysbirds-l] Valley Stream Louisiana Waterthrush

2015-04-21 Thread Robert Berlingeri
A bright, stunning Louisiana Waterthrush turned up at Valley Stream State
Park this afternoon at about 12:30PM. Picked up by its deep call note
around the stream on the Corona side toward the south end of the park, then
visually about 20 minutes later. A classic bird, as bright as they get with
bright (almost Red) legs. I was hoping to hear its song, but no luck on
that today. - unlike the Northern that was singing periodically from the
interior stream.

7 species of warbler were in today in low numbers, including multiple Black
and White and Yellow Palm. Singles on Parula and Yellow (Singing on
territory). only about 12-15 Myrtle. A bit of a surprise was a singing
Purple Finch moving north.

A group of about 35 Glossy Ibis were seen early moving east.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Blue Grosbeak, Muscoot Farm Westchester

2015-04-21 Thread Ryan MacLean
Still there as of 5:15 PM working the same general area of the field behind the 
gazebo, feeding on the ground near the haymounds on the right side of the 
field. For those unfamiliar w Muscoot Farm, take the trail straight at the far 
end of the parking lot past all of the barns and a field surrounded by a white 
fence, bare right at the first fork til you get to a wooden shed. Take the next 
right and eventually you'll emerge in a field with a gazebo directly infront of 
you. The field directly beyond the gazebo is where the Grosbeak is hanging out, 
about an 8 minute walk from the parking lot. Ann primarily had it on the left 
side of the field working the brushy area and this is where I first spotted it 
(it will occasionally associate w Blackbirds  Cowbirds in treetops). However 
the area we mostly watched the bird was near the hay-mounds on the right just 
when you walk into the field past the gazebo. The bird does flush very easily 
so please keep your distance and stay on the trails as to not corner the bird.


Most importantly, for those who don't know THE PARK GATE CLOSES AT 4 PM. If you 
get there near closing time you should park on Route 100.


Thank you Roger for the awesome find and to Ann for getting the word out!


-Ryan

[nysbirds-l] Caracara possible sighting

2015-04-21 Thread Richard Guthrie
I picked this up from a facebook posting this evening by Jess Deitz:

I can't confirm, but I'm almost positive I just saw the Caracara near the
intersection of 17K and 302.. Bullville just past the gas station headed
toward Bloomingburgh. Flew from edge of road into yard.. Black bird, white
neck and head, thick bill was all I could make out driving by. Size was
right.

Thought it would be good to get the word out for what it is.

[nysbirds-l] Go west, young old man, go west !

2015-04-21 Thread robert adamo
Leaving Riverhead this morning, my first destination was scheduled to be
RMSP, but as I approached Ocean Parkway, and finding the draw-bridge up, I
quickly hung a right and proceeded to check out Captree Island. There was 6
Greater Yellowlegs on the marsh, as well as a late, feeding, female Hooded
Merganser.

 Birds seen upon arriving at RMSK were at least (1) adult Peregrine Falcon*
(resident ?)on the w/s of the water tower, and 3 Black-bellied Plovers,
resting with a group of gulls in the parking lot.

Captree SP was next, and although I couldn't find the Lesser Black-backed
Gulls reported yesterday, I did get my FOS Barn Swallow. in addition to (3)
Boat-tailed Grackles.

The ride down to the west end of Jones Beach SP was uneventful, but once
there, did see the female Indigo Bunting found by Pat Palladino.

En-route home, I finally went searching for the Mastic Bald Eagles, and did
see one of the full adults.

A single Turkey Vulture (Lonesome George ?) was waiting for me in
Riverhead, followed by (2) soaring, stacked accipiters (with Cooper's low,
and Sharp-shinned high) over our condo property.

*There could have been two birds, because as I passed the tower the 2nd
time, the w/s bird was gone, but another, adult peregrine was perched on
the e/s. Probably the same bird just moving to the sunniest side...but who
knows !

Cheers,
Bob

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 4/21

2015-04-21 Thread Thomas Fiore

Tuesday, 21 April, 2015

Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City) had a nice arrival - some of the  
birds may have actually filtered in on Monday, but clearly more showed  
up overnight. At least 11 species of warbler were noted in the park  
(and it's possible a few additionals were), although pride of place  
will still go to Prospect Park in Brooklyn with their ongoing  
Prothonotary and Yellow-throated Warblers as well as at least 10 other  
warbler spp. there...


For Central, among the migrants noted this day were:

Green Heron
Solitary Sandpiper
Spotted Sandpiper
Chimney Swift
Eastern Kingbird
Blue-headed Vireo
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Hermit Thrush
Wood Thrush
Gray Catbird

Northern Parula
Yellow Warbler
[Myrtle] Yellow-rumped Warbler (building no's.)
Pine Warbler
Prairie Warbler
Palm Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
Ovenbird
Northern Waterthrush
Louisiana Waterthrush
Common Yellowthroat

Scarlet Tanager (early)
Eastern Towhee
Chipping Sparrow
Field Sparrow
Savannah Sparrow
Swamp Sparrow
White-throated Sparrow
Dark-eyed Junco

Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Rusty Blackbird
Purple Finch
Pine Siskin
American Goldfinch

The above list leaves out a lot of species, including some that have  
been around a while,  perhaps a few much more recent arrivals. Plenty  
of birders out  about and there will be more to seek, as this latest  
arrival generally, city  region-wide has brought a nice variety as  
well as some of the rarer species as mentioned in rapid posts. Also a  
good time to do local patch birding, of any smaller neighborhood  
parks or green-spaces, as a goodie could be hiding in plain view  
almost anywhere now, with not all too many leaves on the trees   
shrubs, although that also is changing fairly rapidly after our 1  
summer-strength very warm day.


good birding,

Tom Fiore
Manhattan

Re:[nysbirds-l] Summer Tanager R.I.P.

2015-04-21 Thread Andrew Baksh
Sam Janazzo just called with an update on the Jones Beach Summer
Tanager--it is bad news. Apparently, the bird was clipped by a car and
died. I figured I would post to save twitchers the trip.

Joe Viglietta, who was with Sam when this occurred has retrieved the bird
and may pass it on to Shai Mitra. Perhaps Paul Sweet might be interested??
