[nysbirds-l] Immature Bald Eagle - Riverside

[Alan Drogin]

Around 9:30am from Riverside Park near the 83rd Street entrance we observed an 
immature Bald Eagle slowly kiting up the Hudson River, a Red-tailed Hawk flying 
over it.  My wife was able to snap one nice picture of it before we lost sight 
of it.

Stay safe birding,

Alan Drogin

An American Avocet was discovered a few days ago in Jefferson County, by if
I recall correctly, Brian Miller and Eileen Wheeler. It has been reported
by Jeff Bolsinger and Iain Davies as well. I looked for and found it today
(May 2).

It is on County Route 9, just south of its intersection with SR 12E, at a
pond just north of the Wood Farms dairy barns and across from the TI High
School, and was easily seen from the road.

[nysbirds-l] many migrants, Manhattan / N.Y. County, NYC 5/2

[Thomas Fiore]

As of Saturday, May 2nd, Manhattan island (which is part of New York County, in 
N.Y. City) alone had at least 2-dozen warbler species on the day with 
highlights of Cerulean, Cape May, multiple Blackburnian, several Hooded, & 
Worm-eating Warblers, and all of the early-arriving warbler species, & more;  
other arrivals have included Least Flycatcher along with the 3 previously-seen 
species of flycatchers, and many other migrants. All 5 of the 
typical-for-spring migration vireo species of the east have been noted (the one 
that’s rarer here, Philly, has not).

A RED-HEADED WOODPECKER was still present early in the day, and also 
photographed in its ‘usual’ location in Central Park, but it is somewhat likely 
to be moving on any day soon. A Grasshopper Sparrow that had also graced 
Central Park for an unusual number of days has probably moved on.

---
On Friday May 1st, there were at least 2 1st-spring male Blue Grosbeaks in 2 
parks in Manhattan, one at Fort Tryon, the other in the n. end of Central Park, 
both with multiple observers & photographers. A female Long-tailed Duck made a 
surprise visit to the Central Park reservoir again on May 1, a very late date 
for an already-unusual location for the species in this county.

Much much more to be reported in a few days from N.Y. County.  Thanks to those 
who are observing safe practices by spatial-distancing, use of face-coverings, 
& plain commonsense in a city where the pandemic is still very much in our 
midst. It can be worthwhile birding in parks & greenspaces which may be a bit 
less-utilized, for those able to do so.

good and socially-responsible birding,

Tom Fiore

BEGIN TAPE

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 1st 2020 at
10pm. The highlights of today's tape are BROWN BOOBY, SANDHILL CRANE,
WHITE-FACED IBIS, MANX SHEARWATER, BLACK-HEADED GULL, KING EIDER, HARLEQUIN
DUCK, WHIMBREL, BLUE GROSBEAK, SUMMER TANAGER, PROTHONOTARY WARBLER,
YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER and much more.

Despite the virus and generally adverse weather patterns migration
continues to happen and probably the biggest surprise was an adult BROWN
BOOBY found late this afternoon sitting on a fence post in the median of
Ocean Parkway at Gilgo. At dusk the BOOBY was still roosting in the median
on the west side of Gilgo.

Another surprise was a SANDHILL CRANE photographed Wednesday as it flew
over the north end of Central Park.

A WHITE-FACED IBIS was photographed with Glossy Ibis at Captree Island last
Tuesday and one was also seen again on Thursday at the Timber Point Golf
Course in Great River.

During Thursday's storm single MANX SHEARWATERS were reported from Robert
Moses State Park in the morning and then off Hook Pond in East Hampton in
the afternoon. Other highlights from these seawatches included a
BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE, 1,259 NORTHERN GANNETS, 1 ICELAND and 12 LESSER
BLACK-BACKED GULLS at Moses and 3 PARASITIC JAEGERS going by together off
Hook Pond. A BLACK-HEADED GULL continuing at Timber Point to Sunday was
followed by a full adult visiting Knapp's Lake at Brockwood Hall Park in
East Islip yesterday.

At Orient Point 3 KING EIDER last Sunday were down to 1 female today and
the 4 HARLEQUIN DUCKS were last noted Monday.

A WHIMBREL at Timber Point Saturday was followed by 6 Tuesday at Smith
Point County Park in Shirley and a WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER stayed at Captree
Island to Saturday.

On Thursday an ICELAND GULL was seen again in Sheepshead Bay and 11 LESSER
BLACK-BACKED GULLS were counted at Riis Park. A few reports of CASPIAN TERN
included one at Prospect Park Lake Wednesday and 3 at Hempstead Lake State
Park today.

A CATTLE EGRET was still around the Down's Creek area in Cutchogue at least
to Wednesday. A RED-HEADED WOODPECKER continues at Central Park's north end
with another found at Connetquot River State Park Tuesday. A BLUE GROSBEAK
found Monday at Fort Tryon Park on Manhattan was still present today and
the season's first SUMMER TANAGER appeared at Hempstead Lake State Park
Wednesday. A PROTHONOTARY WARBLER lingered at Hempstead Lake to Tuesday
with others found Wednesday in Prospect Park and at Fuch's Pond Preserve in
Fort Salonga while a YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER continues at Bayard Cutting
Arboretum in Great River with another reported from Central Park's north
end Wednesday.

With a decent influx of migrants during the week some arrivals have
included LEAST TERN, RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD, both GREAT CRESTED
FLYCATCHER and EASTERN KINGBIRD, WARBLING VIREO, BANK SWALLOW, VEERY and
WOOD THRUSH, GRAY CATBIRD and BROWN THRASHER and SEASIDE SPARROW.

In addition numerous species of warblers in varying numbers have featured
first reports of HOODED, AMERICAN REDSTART, CERULEAN, MAGNOLIA and
BLACK-THROATED BLUE and increasing numbers of WORM-EATING, BLUE-WINGED,
NASHVILLE, NORTHERN PARULA, PRAIRIE WARBLER, BLACK-THROATED GREEN and the
like.

To phone in reports call Tom Burke at (914) 967-4922.
