Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, November 13th
2020 at 10pm. The highlights of today's tape are PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER,
ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER, RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD, EARED GREBE, LITTLE GULL,
WESTERN KINGBIRD, GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE, TUNDRA SWAN, EURASIAN
WIGEON, KING EIDER, MANX SHEARWATER, BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE, LAPLAND
LONGSPUR, CLAY-COLORED SPARROW, LARK SPARROW, BLUE GROSBEAK, DICKCISSEL,
winter finches and much more.
A western type flycatcher found October 31st in Kissena Park Queens and by
vocalizations identified as a PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER was enjoyed by many
through last Saturday but has either been extremely elusive or disappeared
since then. It had been frequenting densely vegetated areas just west of
164th Street across from Underhill Avenue.
An ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER was apparently photographed last Monday at Fort
Washington Park in northern Manhattan but an eBird report, not by the
single observer, contained no details or photographs, hopefully not a
procedure that will be repeated.
The RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD was still visiting the feeder at the Bayard Cutting
Arboretum in Great River today and the EARED GREBE was seen as recently as
Wednesday on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge usually viewed
from the Big John's Pond overlook. A WESTERN KINGBIRD was spotted early
Saturday as it flew by morning flight observers at Breezy Point where a
nicely plumaged drake KING EIDER noted offshore Saturday in a Common Eider
flock has lingered to today.
An adult LITTLE GULL appeared during a seawatch off Robert Moses State Park
field 2 this morning and later in the day the good gathering of gulls
offshore there attracted several PARASITIC JAEGERS and a lingering larger
jaeger believed to be a POMARINE JAEGER. An immature BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE
was photographed on the beach at Jones Beach West End Wednesday and a boat
offshore south of West Hampton Monday counted several BLACK-LEGGED
KITTIWAKES as well as 3 MANX SHEARWATER and 6 GREAT SHEARWATERS and a
WILSON'S STORM-PETREL.
Ten TUNDRA SWANS visited fields along Oregon Road in Cutchogue today and
recent single GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE were noted on a Northport High
School field Thursday and today and at Tung Ting Pond in Centerport
Wednesday and Thursday the latter also hosting a EURASIAN WIGEON to today.
A peak of 4 AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVERS occurred at Plumb Beach in Brooklyn on
Thursday with another last Sunday at Jones Beach West End where a BLACK
TERN was photographed Tuesday. A RED-NECKED GREBE was near Spring Creek in
Jamaica Bay as of Tuesday and 2 CATTLE EGRETS visited Croton Point Park
Thursday. A LAPLAND LONGSPUR flew by Plumb Beach Sunday morning.
A LARK SPARROW was found Saturday near Triton Lane in Hampton Bays and was
still present Monday while one Sunday flying by Robert Moses State Park in
the morning was followed by one seen later at Floyd Bennett Field and a
CLAY-COLORED SPARROW visited Jones Beach West End Sunday and Monday. A BLUE
GROSBEAK was spotted at the Marine Park Salt Marsh Nature Center Tuesday
and single DICKCISSELS visited Robert Moses State Park Monday and
Marshlands Conservancy in Rye Wednesday and winter finch flights continue,
last Sunday good movement by Robert Moses State Park and Jones Beach West
End featured 7 and 14 RED CROSSBILLS respectively plus a few COMMON
REDPOLLS, big numbers of PINE SISKINS and an accommodating EVENING GROSBEAK
at West End and some PURPLE FINCHES and more are on their way.
To phone in reports call Tom Burke at (914) 967-4922.
