RE: [nysbirds-l] Thrasher update & Merlin

[Shaibal Mitra]

This is an amazing bird--thanks to all who have helped get the word out. Pat 
and I enjoyed wonderful looks at it perched up in the Buckthorn this afternoon, 
about 3:35-4:00. The Buckthorn is within a very narrow swathe of dense 
vegetation between the pond and the mowed field where observers must stand. It 
occurred to me today, having observed the Jamaica Bay Sage Thrasher--which hid 
in thick veg but liked to feed on short grass along pathways--that this bird 
might also want to forage for insects on the short grass outside the dense 
vegetation. I suggest that observers therefore stand back from the edge of the 
dense veg, in case the bird wants to feed on the short grass.

The Sage Thrasher has been seen regularly through today, Nov. 6th. If it 
disappears for a while, it eventually returns to the buckthorn bush on the 
south side of the pond at Ooms Conservation area.

There has also been a Merlin seen a few times today. The Merlin was seen 
carrying some prey item (bird?) at about 3 PM. But, the thrasher has been seen 
since by Will Yandik (fmr Regional Editor of Kingbird).

TRAVEL TIP  If you're coming up via the Taconic State Parkway - be sure to 
stop at Will's farmstand, "Green Acres", on Rt. 82, a very short distance west 
of the TSP. The fresh homemade apple pie is worth the minor detour.

You'll thank me later.

[nysbirds-l] Croton Pt. warblers

[Andrew Block]

Spent a few hours at Croton Pt. Park in Croton late this afternoon.  Lots of 
Yellow-rumped Warblers were around with one Palm Warbler and one late Blackpoll 
Warbler.  Also had a noisy American Kestrel on top of the landfill.  Other than 
that there were the usual birds.

[nysbirds-l] Thrasher tip info

[Richard Guthrie]

Some astute observer pointed out that there are two exits for Rt. 82, one
in Dutchess County; the other in Columbia County The one to Will Yandik's
Green Acres farmstand (homemade apple pie) is the one in Columbia County -
with signs saying "Hudson" (just north of the Taconic Lake State Park
entrance).

Sorry.

Re:[nysbirds-l] [hmbirds] Sage Thrasher YES

[Larry Federman]

Yes. Friday. The bird was on the ground first, at 2:50pm, in the field east of 
the favored buckthorn then made its way to the bush. It stayed in the back 
until it flew off to the east, back on the ground at 4:20.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Sage Thrasher yes

[lindsey duval]

A few of us still had it around 8:30 am, it was up eating berries, enjoying
the sun, and being visited by a very curious chickadee. Same general area
across the pond from the road as reported yesterday.

[nysbirds-l] 11/10: Join LSNY for “Rats in the City: Ecological and Conservation Implications of a Global Pest”

[Kathleen Matthews]

FREE and open to all! 

Join the Linnaean Society of New York for its 7pm, 11/10 Zoom presentation, 
“Rats in the City: Ecological and Conservation Implications of a Global Pest”, 
by Matthew Combs, Ph.D.  
  
Although the familiar brown rat has become a global invader of urban spaces, 
causing major public health risks and conservation concerns, we know relatively 
little about its ecology and behavior.  Dr. Combs will demonstrate, using 
examples from our own beloved NYC and other cities, how science can improve our 
understanding of their spread, impact on wildlife, and help shape more 
effective management policies.   

Matthew Combs is an urban dweller himself, having earned his Ph.D. at Fordham 
University, studying the ecology and evolution of brown rats in urban 
landscapes, and now working as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Columbia 
University, studying the evolutionary and ecological drivers of Lyme disease.

[nysbirds-l] N.Y. County (NYC) - 11/4 thru 11/5 - Am. Bittern, V. Rail, E. Bluebirds, lingering migrants, etc.

[Thomas Fiore]

New York County, including Manhattan, Randall’s Island, and (now closed to the 
general public until spring) Governors Island (all within N.Y. City)

Overall not an extremely-busy couple of days (bird-wise!) for the county yet 
movement has continued and there are also a fair number of lingering birds, 
plus the arrivals of typically wintering species. Highlights included American 
Bittern, Virgina Rail, E. Bluebirds, and a variety of other migrants and other 
birds.
...
Wed., 11/4 - Winds which had been fierce for 2 days & nights calmed down & 
temperature also began to moderate, with the first inkling of what may be an 
extended series of mild and calm-weather days for the region. Some migration 
occurred both in day & night, & a goodly amount of that was exodus or simply 
onward southbound movement.

An American Bittern was photographed (C. Quinn) at the edge of Randall’s Island 
on 11/4; there is a chance that this was a lingering bird there.  2 Blue-headed 
Vireos were seen on Governors Island (now closed to the general public), on 
11/4. A minimum of 4 E. Bluebirds were in Central Park again on 11/4, & it is 
likely these are lingering individuals, 2 were in one area, 2 more in a totally 
separate area, and these ‘pairs’ were also seen concurrently by multiple 
observers. Lincoln’s Sparrow was also present on Governors Island.

There were at least ten species of American warblers in N.Y. County, with all 
of the species being seen on Manhattan island (& some of same as well on the 
outlying islands) - these included: American Redstart, Cape May Warbler, 
Tennessee Warbler, Orange-crowned Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, Pine 
Warbler, Palm Warbler, Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat, & Yellow-rumped [Myrtle] 
Warbler. While some of the warblers being seen just lately may be lingering 
there also seem to be new individuals 'popping up' in a variety of locations, & 
that sort of situation is possible even to near year’s-end in the region - that 
is to some extent noted with the additional effort that may be found in 
scouring local-patch sites in addition to the better-known sites, as C.B.C. 
season gets in gear. The same applies for all sorts of birds at that season.

While a total of at least 18 Wood Ducks in Central Park (with at least 14 of 
those on the C.P. reservoir) on 11/4 is a great sight, it is not even remotely 
close to any all-time record for a high count of the species in that park (nor 
on that reservoir) nor for the county. (n.b., many such records are not in 
eBird.) Those numbers this week are not even a 21st-century high count, for the 
location.
...
Thurs., 11/5 - Winds were again moderate (& out of the southwest) and temp’s. 
trended a bit milder than the prior day.

A Virginia Rail was seen at a location on Central Park’s w. side. Several E. 
Bluebirds were again seen in Central Park, lingering from recent days. Among 
possibly-diminishing diversity of warblers, at least a few Cape May Warblers 
were among those still being seen and there were still at least 7 other of the 
lingering warbler spp. in the county, on the day.   The Coot-count in (just) 
Central Park is up to 4 (nope, not all in one place). Some Laughing Gulls are 
still showing in various locations. Same for E. Phoebes. And there are still a 
good many finches to be seen, including (even on lower-migration days) Pine 
Siskins a-plenty, as well as - esp. standing-out on Thurs. - Cedar Waxwings in 
diurnal movement. There are also ongoing Purple Finch, American Goldfinch - and 
the chance for other finch species & more ‘irruptives’ as the season goes along.

Some Monarch and other butterflies have continued to be seen, as well as the 2 
dragonfly spp. Wandering Glider, & Autumn Meadowhawk. Many other adult insects 
also have been recorded.

"This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make 
it a good place for all of us to live in.” - Teddy Roosevelt (26th president of 
the U.S.A.)
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress."  - Frederick Douglass 
(1818-1895; U.S. statesman, orator, writer)

Good birding to all - and thanks to the many who also keep the birds’ best 
interests at heart when out in the field - and limit any possible disturbances 
to the birds’ requirements for food, shelter, & safety, including for the many 
migrants a safe passage on their often long journeys as well as birds on roost 
sites.
