weekend in May.

Highlights: Least Sandpiper (11), Common Tern (58+), Killdeer (2+), Spotted
Sandpiper (2) & Tree Swallow (6+).

[nysbirds-l] Eastport meadows

[leormand]

I visited Eastport Meadows around noon today. Despite it being mid-day, there 
were many vocal and active birds including: prairie warbler, blue-winged 
warblers, yellow warbler, catbirds and mockingbirds 

This is a very large former farm field / red cedar forest on the south side of 
Sunrise highway, north of montauk highway in Eastport. There's a large parking 
lot at the Town ball fields for access.  This property has many informal trails 
from off road vehicles - also has plenty of ticks.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

[Larry Trachtenberg]

I have a very reliable report of a common nighthawk as of 2:30 p.m. perched in 
a willow on way up to nature center at Croton Point

To: NYSbirds-L@cornell.edu
Subject: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

An early morning visit to the Model Airplane Field revealed a burst of activity 
to celebrate the (finally) changing weather. The highlight was 14 species of 
warbler, led by Chestnut-sided and Wilson's. Others species, mostly in good 
numbers and voice, included Magnolia, Black-throated Blue, Black-throated 
Green, Black and White, Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat, American Redstart, 
Parula, Myrtle, Blue-winged, and Blackpoll.

Others species seen included Red-eyed and Warbling Vireo, Least Flycatcher, 
Orchard and Baltimore Oriole, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, a pair of White-breasted 
Nuthatches tending to young in a nest cavity, and a Great Blue Heron winging 
overhead to remind us that there was a lot of water nearby.

Our quick excursion was capped by a sighting from Route 9 of an adult Osprey 
perched on the cell tower at the train station while a pair of Bald Eagles 
soared nearby.

[nysbirds-l] Bicknell's Thrush in Prospect Park

[Joshua Malbin]

Ed Crowne and I heard a Bicknell's Thrush singing in Prospect Park at
around 9:30. The bird was near the lowest path, relatively close to Center
Drive and East Drive. There was also a Gray-cheeked Thrush singing in the
area and there have been multiples seen around the park today, so be
cautious. A couple of dogs tore through the area and the bird stopped
singing, but we later refound a bird we thought was a good candidate based
on visual characteristics in the same area, so I think it is probably still
there. We also spotted a Gray-cheeked in the same area, again based on
visual characteristics this time. I will post a brief audio recording later
that contains both birds singing.
