[nysbirds-l] Linnaean Society of New York 2016-17 Speaker Program 12/13

[Anders Peltomaa]

Tuesday evening (December 13th, 2016) the Linnaean Society
of New York 2016-17 Speaker Program will feature two more interesting
presentations.


6:00 pm — Birds of Wood: An American Art Form – Eric Kaiser

Through a legacy of sculptures that celebrate the magnificence of nature’s
delicate grace, Eric Kaiser, an award-winning master carver, will offer a
glimpse into his world with an exploration of the art of bird carving.
European settlers adopted the innovation of the decoy from Native
Americans. From the primitive abstract forms made of wood by the pioneers,
bird carving as an art developed in America. Kaiser will take you on a trip
from the early days of market gunning and the colorful characters and
methods of the day, to the influence of some of our fledgling efforts at
conservation legislation. The popularity of early decoy competitions has
led to carvings being much more than hunting tools. Nowadays a number of
artists take part in creating beautiful realistic pieces of avian art in
the practice of this wonderful genre. Kaiser will follow this look into
yesterday by illustrating the magic of contemporary bird carving today. He
will share with you how he transforms a block of wood into a bird that
seems alive. Prepare to be amazed!

7:30 pm — Sea-level Rise: Causes, Effects, and Solutions – Mark Lowery
As the Earth’s system warms, New York City will experience the effects of
several climatic hazards, including extreme heat, increased precipitation
and riparian flooding, and sea-level rise. Sea-level rise greatly
exacerbated the damage and destruction caused by Superstorm Sandy, and
coastal flooding during all future storms, whether or not they are made
more severe by a warmer atmosphere, will be launched from higher coastal
waters. Mark Lowery will examine the global phenomena that cause the
world’s ocean waters to rise and the local factors that mean New York’s
tidal waters will rise even faster than the global average. Lowery will
describe the implications of rising waters for public infrastructure, human
health and safety, and natural systems, including wildlife, and he will
describe regulatory and nonregulatory approaches New York State is taking
to reduce the risks associated with sea-level rise. Mark Lowery is a
climate policy analyst in the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation’s Office of Climate Change. He led the effort to adopt New
York State’s sea-level rise projection regulation and is coordinating
implementation of the State Community Risk and Resiliency Act.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan warblers redux, 12/11 & prior dates

[Thomas Fiore]

Manhattan (1 borough and county of New York City) birds that may (or  
may not) be around for the borough-wide CBC [Christmas Bird Count) -

which is subsumed in the "Lower Hudson" Count (and has much of the  
Meadowlands of New Jersey as a major part of this count circle -
one of a number of counts in the United States where portions of 2  
states may be within one count; there are other such in NY state, & in
or near the SE NY area) - may or may not find these, seen as of the  
past 7(+) days in Manhattan (where Central Park is just one among many  
areas covered on the day, for the 'CBC'-ing there) :

Yellow-breasted Chat - Saturday 12/10, at City Hall Park, lower  
Manhattan - & thank you Bill Elrick for your gorgeous photo in your  
report: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32967432  (Bill is a  
faithful observer-reporter for famed Garrett Mountain park, northern  
New Jersey)

Black-throated Blue Warblers - continuing male at City Hall Park, and  
a female-plumaged bird in Central Park today & yesterday 12/10-11,  
near the West 103 Street park entrance and The Pool (the official name  
for the water-body in Central Park by West 100-103 Streets)

Orange-crowned Warblers - 12/9 photographed in the north end of  
Central Park by Jack Noordhuizen; 12/8 seen at Fort Tryon Park;  
perhaps recent prior dates in various other locations in Manhattan as  
heard word-of-mouth but some refer to November, more than 11 days prior.

Pine Warblers - 12/10 two photographed (by me) at Riverbank State  
Park, entry near West 137th Street west of Riverside Park (and main  
entry at West 145 Street & Riverside Drive, for city bus or private  
vehicles); recent prior dates on Randall's Island in East River, which  
were photographed by John Keane.

Ovenbirds - too many to list all in this month in Manhattan, seen in  
Battery Park, City Hall Park, Union Square Park, Bryant Park, Central  
Park & some additional areas.

Common Yellowthroats - especially in lower Manhattan parks such as  
Battery / City Hall, Union Sqaure, & in other areas as well as a few  
in Central Park, from north end, west side, and south end of that  
park, in past 12 days; others reported word-of-mouth in small  
greenspaces.

Myrtle [aka Yellow-rumped, in un-split form] Warblers - 12/10 at  
Riverbank State Park, and a few in other Hudson River Manhattan areas  
as well as prior sightings at Randall's Island in East River.

Wilson's Warbler, one sighting 12/5, at Riverbank State Park, from Ken  
Chaya, reported from near the "Sofrito" restaurante, near the main  
entry from Wet 145 Street; sought by me but not re-found in days  
following, but this is a species that can linger into winter on rare  
occasions in the northeast, & there is a chance of a western form  
turning up in the east, even if most in the east are likely the  
subspecific form pusilla (by available data).

and of course many many other species of many kinds; all sightings are  
significant in a CBC, and it's also very possible that none of the  
above-noted will be remaining thru the coming harsher (real winter)  
weather, & likely that other birds move in to be found by so many  
observers - more so, if the weather is decent.

good birding & CBC-ing,

Tom Fiore

[nysbirds-l] Central Park Dec. 10, 2016 to look for for the CBC

[Ardith Bondi]

To keep in mind for the upcoming Christmas Count in Central Park-

as of yesterday at the 59th St Pool, there was still a Common 
Yellowthroat eating bread crumbs in addition to bugs along with an 
immature male Pintail and a male Wood Duck. The ducks are obvious, the 
COYE, not always.

[nysbirds-l] Empidonax NO - thru 11 am, 12/11, I.H.Pk., n. Manhattan NYC

[Thomas Fiore]

11th December, 2016 -

The Empidonax [genus] Flycatcher as seen past 3 days at Inwood Hill  
Park in Manhattan (NYC) was NOT found as of this Sunday morning ~11am,  
by 6 of us searching the previous areas it had been found - this does  
not necessarily mean that the bird is no longer in the area, and any  
updates by those who may search further this or on any subsequent days  
will be appreciated, thanks!  (It may be worth widening out a search  
area, as well, perhaps at woods-edges by the various open areas in the  
north & east quadrants of that park, for any who may stop in to have a  
look)

good birding,

Re: [nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Inwood Hill Pk Empid (Manhattan) - notes from Saturday's sighting

[Tim Healy]

Correct on both points, which I neglected to mention. Pacific-slope was the 
prevailing belief even early on due to those recordings, a few other 
vocalizations that were heard, and the patterns of vagrancy observed elsewhere. 
Time will tell if this species pair is kept distinct, but for now we have the 
puzzle of ID confirmation to contend with. 

Cheers!

 If you walk north before going west you can avoid the steps/big hill. I 
 think the street is 218, but just keep going north til you see no stairs. 
 A slight detour only.

Pacific Slope seems to have more of a vagrancy pattern, assuming that they
really are two different species, which, as the discussion on this listserv
after the Central Park bird showed up last year suggested, may not be a
safe assumption.

Re: [nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Inwood Hill Pk Empid (Manhattan) - notes from Saturday's sighting

[Tim Healy]

I'm getting some serious déjà vu here. Originally reported at Yellow-belly, 
suspicions based on time of year led to more observation, evidence mounts for 
one of the two "Westerns," and then it's all hands on deck to figure out which. 
I recall last fall's bird allegedly responded vigorously to PSFL recordings and 
ignored COFL playback. Obviously getting audio is the priority high above using 
audio. The 2015 Central Park individual was vocalizing almost constantly, but 
using short chip notes that proved worthless even when I recorded them. As I 
understand it, only some calls and the song can be reliably distinguished by 
software. Good luck, out there, everyone. 

Cheers!

Re: [nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Inwood Hill Pk Empid (Manhattan) - notes from Saturday's sighting

[Tim Healy]

I'm getting some serious déjà vu here. Originally reported at Yellow-belly, 
suspicions based on time of year led to more observation, evidence mounts for 
one of the two "Westerns," and then it's all hands on deck to figure out which. 
I recall last fall's bird allegedly responded vigorously to PSFL recordings and 
ignored COFL playback. Obviously getting audio is the priority high above using 
audio. The 2015 Central Park individual was vocalizing almost constantly, but 
using short chip notes that proved worthless even when I recorded them. As I 
understand it, only some calls and the song can be reliably distinguished by 
software. Good luck, out there, everyone. 

Cheers!
-Tim H

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Inwood Hill Pk Empid (Manhattan) - notes from Saturday's sighting

[Joseph DiCostanzo]

Yes, walk west to Broadway from the 215th St station and the north to 218th St 
(there is a Twin Donut) on the corner), then west on 218th to the park at 
Indian Road.

BTW, yesterday I did not hear the bird vocalize, but at one point when I had 
not seen the bird for at least 15 minutes I played recordings of Cordilleran 
and Pacific-slope flycatchers to familiarize myself with them. While listening 
to the Pacific-slope recording the bird came barreling in over my shoulder and 
landed directly in front of me.

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Inwood Hill Pk Empid (Manhattan) - notes from Saturday's sighting

[Goldstein, Gina]

If you walk north before going west you can avoid the steps/big hill. I think 
the street is 218, but just keep going north til you see no stairs. A slight 
detour only.

[nysbirds-l] Common Gallinule, Southampton

[Thomas Moran]

Sorry for the late post.

 

Yesterday, Saturday, December 10, at 2pm, there was a Common Gallinule on
Coopers Neck Pond in Southampton. The bird appeared from the reeds in back
of the pond, opposite and slightly to the left of the only place you can
view the pond from. It swam to the middle of the pond, returned to the reeds
and could not be found again after about 30 minutes of looking. A quick stop
at 4pm also came up empty. Pictures are available.
