[nysbirds-l] Queens Big Day
Cesar Castillo and I did a big day from 430AM until 530PM today throughout the borough of Queens. Our count ended up being 136, which seems pretty good for May 5. Highlights included: 1 Snow Goose: still at the West Pond of Jamaica Bay 1 Ring-necked Duck: at the Restoration Pond at the LIE/CIP interchange 3 Black Scoter: eastbound early in the AM from Fort Tilden 2 Ring-necked Pheasant: Kissena Park 1 Red-throated Loon: flying north overhead among the many Common Loons doing the same thing early in the morning 1 Northern Gannet: we didn't see any on two different seawatches but Cesar spotted one moribund gannet lying on a jetty in the Rockaways 1 Turkey Vulture: high over Jamaica Bay 2 American Coot: Baisley Pond Park 8 Killdeer: including 4 very recently fledged young in the Rockaways 1 Semipalmated Sandpiper: Big Egg Marsh 3 American Woodcock: early in the AM at Jamaica Bay 2 Solitary Sandpiper: at the Restoration Pond at the LIE/CIP interchange 7 Least Terns: off of Fort Tilden 1 Black-billed Cuckoo: Kissena Park 1 Barn Owl: Jamaica Bay 1 Great Horned Owl: Kissena Park 1 Ruby-throated Hummingbird: Alley Pond Park 1 Merlin: Fort Tilden 2 Blue-headed Vireo: Alley Pond Park and Forest Park 17 sp. of warbler, with the most numerous being Yellow (69) followed by Northern Parula (44), Black-and-white (43), and Yellow-rumped Warbler (42). 4 Worm-eating, 11 Nashvilles, 4 Blackburnians, and 4 Blue-wingeds were all nice too. 1 Seaside Sparrow: Big Egg Marsh 1 Blue Grosbeak: female over the waterhole at Forest Park at the end of the day 1 Orchard Oriole: Forest Park 2 Rusty Blackbird: Fort Tilden Unexpected misses for a full day's birding in Queens at this time of year included Chestnut-sided Warbler, Peregrine Falcon, American Kestrel, Semipalmated Plover, Yellow-throated Vireo, and Field Sparrow. It was a great day and leaves us wondering how many we would have totaled if we had kept going until dark.

[nysbirds-l] Tuesday May 8th, Linnean Society of New York Presentations
Hi all, On Tuesday May 8th the Linnean Society of New York will finish the 2017-18 program season with two exciting presentations: *6:00 pm - Wild Green Heart - Ken Chaya* Central Park plays host to a wide diversity of life forms, including birds, trees, wildflowers, and insects. While many residents and visitors alike enjoy the park as a place of active recreation and passive relaxation, it is the birders and botanists, entomologists, urban naturalists, and nature lovers who - through their observations and study - deeply engage with the Park as a living green space. Through photography and illustration, Ken Chaya will highlight some of the magnificent landscape and local flora and fauna that can be found in Central Park. *7:30 pm - Studying Birds in the Context of the Annual Cycle: Carry-over Effects and Seasonal Interactions – Peter Marra* Migration is one of the most engaging phenomena of the animal world and one that is epitomized by birds. Migratory birds spend different parts of the annual cycle in geographically disparate places. The conditions and selective pressures during each period are likely to affect individual performance during subsequent periods. This simple fact presents us with considerable obstacles to understanding how agents of global change (i.e., climate, land use) will influence the ecology, evolution, and conservation of migratory birds. Such interseasonal effects are poorly understood within most avian migration systems, in large part because it has been difficult to follow individuals and specific populations year-round (i.e., migratory connectivity). In addition, for most species there exists an extreme research bias toward breeding over nonbreeding season biology. Furthermore, the limiting factors and regulatory mechanisms that determine abundance remain poorly understood for most bird species. Pete Marra, Director of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, uses long-term research on redstarts in Jamaica to show how conditions on wintering grounds, such as climate and habitat, affect both arrival time and body condition of individual birds on breeding areas, and how these parameters are likely to have important consequences for breeding events and annual survival. Understanding how global change will influence migratory organisms requires the study of biological phenomena in the context of the entire annual cycle. As usual the presentations will be in the Linder Theater on the first floor of the American Museum of Natural History (enter at West 77th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue). http://linnaeannewyork.org/calendar-programs-trips/programs2017-2018.html happy Spring birding, Anders Peltomaa Linnaean Society of New York -- 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/ --
[nysbirds-l] Pond Park Great Neck
I have a reliable report from a friend that there were four to five Wilsons warblers at Pond Park today around 3:23. I searched unsuccessfully for them at 4:00.

[nysbirds-l] Rockefeller State Park, Westchester County, May 5
As usual, I parked at the free spot, 41.106056, -73.85, walked up the path (east), later walked down to the west. I don't walk far. I was there about 8:30 to 10:30. Resident warblers are in with pretty good numbers: Yellow, Redstart, Blue-winged, Yellow-throat. Still a couple Yellow-rumped around. Warbling Vireo back at the usual spot along the lower path, to the west. Red-eyed Vireo, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Veery. No other really migrant warblers. The two highlights were a pair of Black-billed Cuckoos, and a pair of Orchard Orioles. I'll post photos later at the New York birders facebook site.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan, NYC 5/2 (27 warbler spp., Red-headed WP, Bobolinks, etc., etc.)
Wednesday, 2 May, 2018 - Central & Riverside Parks, Manhattan, N.Y. City ‘Highlights’ were really too many too list all, but among the species that are typically scarce or most-sought in Central Park today included: RED-HEADED WOODPECKER[S], both Cuckoo species, 5 Flycatcher species, (at least) 4 Vireo species, Red-breasted Nuthatch, (at least) 4 Catharus [“brown-backed’] Thrush species, (at least) 27 species of WARBLERS, with Cerulean, Hooded, Cape May, Worm-eating, both Waterthrushes, & Canada amongst the diversity, Lincoln’s & White-crowned Sparrows (amongst other more-common sparrows), SUMMER TANAGER, BOBOLINK, Rusty Blackbird[s], and a decent selection of other migrants, with a bit of wader (a.k.a. shorebird) movement, as well. Some of these had already been noted in N.Y. City, & perhaps in Central Park, in prior days, while some were likely first-of-year sightings. Today featured a further boost to the diversity of neotropical migrants & other birds that have arrived with the very warm weather; this was a fairly widespread burst of migration movement as some of the species that were just arriving in N.Y. City made it a lot farther north & east, being reported even up into central & n. New England as well as into more of NY state. There was at least 1 sighting of Cerulean Warbler today in Prospect Park (Brooklyn - Kings Co.) and others were reported at least as far north as Massachusetts, as just one small example of widespread migration among just one (taxonomic) family grouping of many migrant species. I put in some time in 2 parks in Manhattan, first & primarily in Central Park, starting with the west & south sections, & later the north & some east sections, & for a few mid-p.m. hours, the n. portion of Riverside Park, adjacent with about W. 97th to W. 122 Streets & a bit of Riverside Drive; back into Central thru dusk, as there was a lot of activity ongoing there. For me, quite a few species were first of the year in NY, as I had just returned for May migration from another side of the planet - in n.e. India, where (April) migration also was in full progress. I’d ‘guesstimate' that in all there were at least several hundred birders, or anyhow folks with binoculars on, in many parts of the parks, 98% of those I saw being in Central… Riverside Park had a number of migrants, & a more intent watch there might’ve provided a lot more species than my finds, which were good but could not match all of the variety I and many others were seeing in Central… The “drip” area in Riverside (inside that park near about W. 118 St.) had some migrants but, for me, not quite enough to make a full afternoon’s watch there. May 2nd, 2018 - all from Central Park, unless designated with R.P. (Riverside Park) in Manhattan: Common Loon (2 fly-over, pre-sunrise) Double-crested Cormorant Great Blue Heron Great Egret Snowy Egret (Central north end fly-bys) Green Heron Black-crowned Night-Heron Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (adult at The Pond, early a.m.) Canada Goose Wood Duck Gadwall Mallard Osprey (fly-over) Red-tailed Hawk American Kestrel Peregrine Falcon (R.P., near a known nest site at Riverside church) American Coot (1, still at the Pond) Greater Yellowlegs (calling flyover, just after first light) Lesser Yellowlegs (calling flyover, just after first light) Solitary Sandpiper (multiple) Spotted Sandpiper (multiple) Least Sandpiper (10, reservoir & also in flight, early a.m.) Laughing Gull (fly-bys & at least 7 minimum on reservoir, various times) Ring-billed Gull [American] Herring Gull Great Black-backed Gull ['feral'] Rock Pigeon Mourning Dove Black-billed Cuckoo (north woods, & early a.m. near W. 77 St.) Yellow-billed Cuckoo (several, s. & n. ends of park) Common Nighthawk (in flight, dusk, N. Meadow area, e. side) Chimney Swift (multiple) Ruby-throated Hummingbird (several, & visiting flowering trees & shrubs) Red-headed Woodpecker (past Sheep Meadow, early a.m., & near Great Lawn much later on) Red-bellied Woodpecker Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (few) Downy Woodpecker Yellow-shafted Flicker Eastern Wood-Pewee (some calling or singing) Least Flycatcher (one calling, seen well, n. end) Eastern Phoebe (relatively few) Great Crested Flycatcher (multiple) Eastern Kingbird (multiple) Blue-headed Vireo (multiple) Yellow-throated Vireo (several) Warbling Vireo (multiple) Red-eyed Vireo (relatively few) Blue Jay American Crow Tree Swallow (mainly early a.m.) Northern Rough-winged Swallow Barn Swallow (later in day over Meer & Reservoir) Black-capped Chickadee (2) Tufted Titmouse Red-breasted Nuthatch (1, n. end; south of Meer) White-breasted Nuthatch Brown Creeper (n. woods) Carolina Wren House Wren Golden-crowned Kinglet (Loch, late p.m.) Ruby-crowned Kinglet Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Veery (multiple) Swainson's Thrush (multiple) Hermit Thrush (few) Wood Thrush (multiple) American Robin Gray Catbird (multiple) Northern Mockingbird Brown Thrasher (few) European Starling Cedar Waxwing - Blue-
[nysbirds-l] Hempstead Lake SP
After a smattering of warblers and a female SUMMER TANGER in my yard (2 miles east of the park) yesterday afternoon, I expected an exciting day today. Nope!. Still struggling to get a wow day. However, the PROTHOTARY WARBLER continues and a CERULIAN WARBLER showed up early this morning along the stream and later moved over to the NW corner of the dog run. Still there when I left at 11:00, sporadically singing loudly.

[nysbirds-l] American White Pelican on Oneida Lake
Bill Purcell had an American White Pelican fly past him at Phillips Point this morning just before 6:30. The Pelican was headed east and Bill speculated that it may wind up hanging around the islands in Constantia. I headed down to Mill St in Constantia to scope out the islands and re-found the Pelican just after 7:00. It was on the last rock at the far right end of Wantry Island. This is the farthest island from the viewing location, so a scope would be a necessity. The Pelican was still there when I left around 8:30.
