BEGIN TAPE

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, July 24th 2020
at 11pm. The highlights of today's tape are BROWN PELICAN, fall shorebirds
including MARBLED GODWIT, WHIMBREL, LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER, STILT SANDPIPER,
WESTERN SANDPIPER, GULL-BILLED TERN, RED-HEADED WOODPECKER, ACADIAN
FLYCATCHER and BLUE GROSBEAK in this vacation shortened edition.

Sightings of BROWN PELICAN this week included singles off Coney Island
Beach last Saturday and off Wolfe's Pond Park on Staten Island Sunday and
hopefully others will continue to appear off Long Island's south shore.

Shorebird season is ramping up with numbers and varieties still building.
This morning a MARBLED GODWIT was seen in flight moving easterly past
Brooklyn's Plumb Beach where other featured species included one STILT
SANDPIPER and 4 WESTERN SANDPIPERS as well as 2 GULL-BILLED TERNS. A
WHIMBREL was present at Breezy Point last Sunday with 2 there Wednesday and
Thursday and out at Cupsogue County Park in West Hampton Dunes yesterday,
besides a WHIMBREL, other highlights included LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER and
WESTERN SANDPIPER. Two STILT SANDPIPERS were also at Miller Field on Staten
Island yesterday.

A GULL-BILLED TERN was noted at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge last Saturday
and ROYAL TERN numbers continue to increase.

RED-HEADED WOODPECKER is still present along the Paumanok Trail next to
Jones Pond in Manorville the entrance on the west side of Schultz Road.

One or more ACADIAN FLYCATCHERS remain in Prospect Park and BLUE GROSBEAK
apparently nested successfully out in the Calverton Grassland again
emphasizing why this very valuable resource deserves protection.

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

This service is sponsored by the Linnaean Society of New York and the
National Audubon Society. Thank you for calling.
