Yes - we were there from 2:45 ‘til 4 and the bird was very cooperative. 
Seems like it’s routine is to be at the same place first thing in the morning

[nysbirds-l] Unusual Weather Pattern - More Vagrants? Cave Swallows??

[David Nicosia]

All,

We are experiencing an incredible stretch of southwest winds that began
Wednesday Nov 4th and is expected to last until Tuesday the 10th. That is 7
days of unseasonably mild southwest flow. I ran some wind trajectories from
southern Texas and other points in the southwest U.S and most of them end
up in southeast Canada in 3 to 5 days. If these winds pick up some stray
birds they would eventually make their way south probably mostly along the
coast.  I wonder if we will see an influx of CAVE SWALLOWS in the northeast
like many Novembers. Looking at ebird there have been only a few CAVE
SWALLOW reports in southern NJ and in PA/MD,  all prior to this warm spell.
Also maybe a SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER or two will show up?  The SAGE
THRASHER is unrelated to this pattern since it was spotted on Nov 4th after
that cold spell (and snow that we had upstate!).  Anyway, good luck and
enjoy the gorgeous fall weather! It will be interesting to see what shows
up.

Dave Nicosia

[nysbirds-l] Unusual Weather Pattern - More Vagrants? Cave Swallows??

[David Nicosia]

All,

We are experiencing an incredible stretch of southwest winds that began
Wednesday Nov 4th and is expected to last until Tuesday the 10th. That is 7
days of unseasonably mild southwest flow. I ran some wind trajectories from
southern Texas and other points in the southwest U.S and most of them end
up in southeast Canada in 3 to 5 days. If these winds pick up some stray
birds they would eventually make their way south probably mostly along the
coast.  I wonder if we will see an influx of CAVE SWALLOWS in the northeast
like many Novembers. Looking at ebird there have been only a few CAVE
SWALLOW reports in southern NJ and in PA/MD,  all prior to this warm spell.
Also maybe a SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER or two will show up?  The SAGE
THRASHER is unrelated to this pattern since it was spotted on Nov 4th after
that cold spell (and snow that we had upstate!).  Anyway, good luck and
enjoy the gorgeous fall weather! It will be interesting to see what shows
up.

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, November 6th
2020 at 10pm. The highlights of today's tape are PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER,
RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD, EARED GREBE, BROWN BOOBY, AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN,
TUNDRA SWAN, GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE, EURASIAN WIGEON, GOLDEN EAGLE,
AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER, PHILADELPHIA VIREO, LAPLAND LONGSPUR, CLAY-COLORED
SPARROW, YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT, BLUE GROSBEAK, DICKCISSEL and more.

Last Saturday a western type empidonax flycatcher was found at Kissena Park
in Queens where the bird has continued through today. Attempts to determine
whether this bird was a PACIFIC-SLOPE or a closely related Cordilleran
Flycatcher fortunately resulted in some recordings of its call notes and
these point to the bird's identity as PACIFIC-SLOPE of which there is a
previous New York record. To look for this bird park along 164th Street
near Underhill Avenue. Enter the western side of the park on the bridal
path and continue a short distance to where both sides of the trail are
covered by heavy growth. Search here and also continue a little further to
a narrow path on the left and take this path over 3 fallen logs to an
enclosed clearing also favored by the flycatcher or ask any birders you see.

The selasphorus hummingbird found last Friday at Bayard Cutting Arboretum
in Great River was today still visiting the hummingbird feeder put up for
it. Some good photos of its spread tail pattern seem to indicate this bird
is a RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD rather than Allen's. However, as in the case of the
western flycatchers, sometimes in hand measurements or DNA samples are the
only sure means of a positive ID.

At Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge an EARED GREBE spotted on the East Pond last
Saturday was still present today often best viewed from the Big John's Pond
overlook. Also at Jamaica Bay, where waterfowl numbers continue to
increase, a TUNDRA SWAN and a drake EURASIAN WIGEON were both seen on the
West Pond last Saturday the swan also spotted Sunday. Another EURASIAN
WIGEON was still on West Lake in Patchogue at least to Tuesday and a
GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE has been around Wolfe's Pond Park on Staten
Island since last Saturday. The immature BROWN BOOBY was still present last
weekend off Bay Avenue in East Quogue and the AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN was
seen last Saturday and Sunday at Jamaica Bay though only briefly.

With a few GOLDEN EAGLES currently moving by local hawkwatches, interesting
on Tuesday morning was possibly the same immature first seen moving south
by Inwood Hill Park then a little later by Battery Park City, both on
Manhattan, and then finally over the Cemetery of the Resurrection on Staten
Island.

An AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER in Brooklyn was seen at Plumb Beach today.

Other notable non-passerines included a COMMON GALLINULE in Prospect Park
to Wednesday and a RED-HEADED WOODPECKER flying over Southard's Pond in
Babylon Saturday. A late PHILADELPHIA VIREO was interesting at Canarsie
Beach Park Wednesday and a LAPLAND LONGSPUR was at Theodore Roosevelt
County Park in Montauk Saturday. CLAY-COLORED SPARROW visited Roosevelt
Beach on Staten Island Tuesday with a VESPER SPARROW on Central Park's
north end the same day. Today a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT was found in
Manhattan's Union Square Park. A BLUE GROSBEAK was present on Randall's
Island Sunday to Tuesday and Saturday DICKCISSELS were noted at Floyd
Bennett Field and Lemon Creek Pier. Small numbers of EVENING GROSBEAKS are
now appearing.
