[nysbirds-l] Indigo Bunting Manhattan NYC 4/8

[Thomas Fiore]

Manhattan, N.Y. City - Saturday, 8 April, 2017

An Indigo Bunting was found & photographed in northern Manhattan this Saturday: 
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S35793666 
   This seems to align as at 
least a modest amount of rather early arrival for a few birds in this region, 
such as the Hooded Warbler in Stamford (Fairfield Co.), CT, as reported on that 
adjacent state’s bird list.  At least a few other Indigo-B. reports have 
surfaced in the region of NYC, a tri-state (or being a bit generous, 4-state: 
PA is not so far) area.

Central Park in Manhattan could not boast of a very-rare goose or even an 
uncommon warbler on Saturday, but some of the same species were around, the 
brightly-plumaged Red-headed Woodpecker an ongoing highlight, in same area just 
west of East 68th St., within the park where it has been for months - and 4 
species of warblers on the day, again Louisiana Waterthrush seen thru the day 
at the Loch (north part of the park) and Pine, Palm, & Myrtle [a.k.a. 
Yellow-rumped] also seen, plus Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, both Kinglet species, and 
a mix of some of the other migrants as reported on prior days.

- -
On Hook Mountain (north of Nyack, NY - and not very far north of N.Y. City), 
Rockland Co. today, Steve Bauer photographed 2 Broad-winged Hawks, as well as 
observing some typical & expected smaller migrants, including 4 Purple Finches.

- -
Congrat’s to Naomi Lloyd for the Pink-footed Goose sighting in Columbia Co., 
NY, a stellar bird for that county, region, & for the state.

-
"Until you dig a hole, you plant a tree, you water it and make it survive, you 
haven't done a thing. You are just talking.” 
- Wangari Muta Mathaii (1940-2011; activist, author, planter of trees, member 
of Parliament in Kenya, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, the first 
environmentalist in the world and first African woman to receive that honor.)

Good -and ethical- birding, and thanks to those who respect the birds & all 
their observers,

[nysbirds-l] LI Birding: Oak Beach: No Eared Grebe - Hempstead Lake: 5 sp. Swallow day

[Andrew Baksh]

This morning, I birded a bit on the Island of Long after a couple of quick 
stops in Queens seemed to indicate the volume of new arrivals was quite low.

Starting with Oak Beach, I spent almost two hours until the tide was dropping 
but could not pin down the Eared Grebe. Continuing my recent luck with 
White-winged Gulls. I pulled out an Iceland Gull that dropped in on the sand 
spit looking East from the Fisherman's Parking lot. I managed to shoot a couple 
of poor backlit digiscope photos for anyone interested.

I did a drive by through Jones Beach West End but saw no need to shoot anything 
since it was quiet. Even the sand bar by the Coast Guard was non eventful save 
for a family of Clamers.

At Hempstead Lake, I had a good run starting with the sweet sounds and then 
views of Rusty Blackbirds. I heard more birds than seen and added migrants like 
Palm and Pine Warblers + both Kinglets before reaching the lake.

The south lake was quite active with Swallows. In two hours of sorting through 
the activity, I tallied the following: As expected, the numbers were dominated 
by Tree Swallows an estimated 50, 5 Barn Swallows, 3 at McDonald's Pond - hard 
to tell if they were moving between that location and the lake as I had 2 there 
as well (I am going with 3), 2 Bank Swallows, 3 Northern Rough-winged and 1 
Cliff...possibly 2 were there.

On my way out near the picnic areas, I had a couple of Hermit Thrushes. 
Overall, not quite as active, still an enjoyable day.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Yellow-breasted Chat at JBWR

[Steve Walter]

For those thinking of trying tomorrow, it should be noted that the Chat
started ranging over a wider area after spending the morning in the area
noted below. I last saw it at the start of the West Pond trail, under the
large cedar on the right (next to the lower entrance to the south garden).
And from the time I arrived at JBWR, it wasn't quite so cooperative. I guess
it remembered that it's a Chat. I managed a couple of usable pictures, one
of them now on http://stevewalternature.com/ for anyone that wants to take a
look. 

 

I got my first look at the restored West Pond. I was told earlier in the day
that it was essentially a mud flat and would require rain to fill up. What I
saw was a full pond, with ducks in it. I'm not sure what's going on with
that. Maybe old information I was given?

 

Also noted a Common Raven and possibly the largest number of Boat-tailed
Grackles ever on the refuge grounds (large numbers have been noted over the
years flying to or from a roost site). What else? Oh yea, I had
Yellow-rumped Warbler and Golden-crowned Kinglets. I think I saw that
mentioned in the subject line of recent post, so I guess that's something
you're supposed to report.

Update: the bird is moving south along the west edge of the parking lot at

the edge of the woods, towards the visitor center

[nysbirds-l] Woodcock Walk at Croton Point

[Larry Trachtenberg]

Anders

Thank you for the interesting write up. Seems like those two days in March gave 
NY County the single day county high watermark for woodcock in the state. The 
number of snipe a few weeks back at Croton Point park reaching 15 one afternoon 
in two fairly confined areas in close proximity was in my experience pretty 
cool (not quite the scientific analysis). For those who have not had their fill 
of american woodcock this spring, Saw Mill River Audubon will be leading a walk 
tomorrow (Sunday) evening at Croton Point Park in search of them in display 
mode. Link with info below.

[nysbirds-l] American Woodcock Event of March 15-17.

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
After the American Woodcock Bonanza of March 15-17, during which I and
others saw unheard of numbers in Central Park in New York County, I did
some research of the status of woodcocks in NY State, high counts, etc. A
short write-up, with photos, is now up on the Linnaean Society's website.

[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park - EVEN more woodcocks!

[Alan Drogin]

This may be getting redundant, but the fact that Bryant Park is so small and 
there is no thick foliage makes it easier than finding them hiding in the 
bigger Central Park.  Nevertheless, this is the most American Woodcocks I’ve 
ever seen in one season in nearly 20 years working across from Bryant Park.

And so Friday night turned up another American Woodcock in a favored spot, just 
west of the Petanque court sitting in the flower bed.
