[nysbirds-l] Red Headed Woodpecker in Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn mid day

[Jonathan Perez]

at 12:45, read a report online of a red-headed woodpecker ran over to fort 
Greene park. at first I saw only a red-bellied by the tennis park and thought 
the report only referred to the red bellied. Then a grey squirrel flushed out 
high in a dead beach above the tennis court, The red-headed woodpecker.

It appeared in the dead trees over the tennis court. It was markedly smaller 
and different than the red bellied woodpecker. It had a bright scarlet red head 
white window on wings and rump, black tail, white belly  breast and black wings 
with white windows.

Couldn’t locate after as it flew east. 

Please excuse my brevity.  Sent from my iPhone

Re: [nysbirds-l] Yellow-breasted and capped chickadee

[Andrew Mason]

Yes, I considered that, but it seems as if pollen would be on the face
also.  Definitely a possibility though.

[nysbirds-l] NYC Chimney Swift Survey

[Chimney Swifts]

Hi all,

In cooperation with the New York City Audubon Society, Adrian Burke, Roger
Pasquier, Richard Veit, and Ryan Zucker are organizing a city-wide survey
of Chimney Swift nesting colonies and roost sites.  The Chimney Swift,
widespread in the city, is a globally declining species listed as
vulnerable by the IUCN.  Availability of nesting and roosting sites may be
critical to its survival.  In the city, sites may be diminishing as
buildings of all types seal their chimneys.  This year, the project seeks
to locate and census these sites, which are active from May to at least
June for nesting and then into mid-October as roosts for both local birds
and migrants.  We are looking for volunteers to make regular visits to nest
and roost sites, but we also encourage birders to submit any and all
observations of nesting or roosting birds.  If you have information about
nest/roost site locations or would like to participate in the survey,
please contact nycswiftsur...@gmail.com.

Below we have copied an outline of survey and data submission protocols for
those interested.

Thanks,

Adrian Burke, Roger Pasquier, Richard Veit, and Ryan Zucker
NYC

NYC Chimney Swift Survey Protocols



*Nesting Season Protocol:*

-  Visit potential nesting sites from mid-May through the third
week of June.

-  Ideally, visit sites in afternoon and early evening when nest
building activities are most frequent, and spend an hour at the site if
possible.

-  Twice weekly visits to each site would be ideal until nesting is
confirmed, but any observations are greatly appreciated. If twice weekly
visits to a site are not possible, occasional visits throughout the
duration of the nesting season (mid-May through June) are preferred.

-  Look for swifts carrying nesting materials (sticks) to confirm
nesting.

-  Later in the season, if very close views or excellent
photographs are possible, look for enlarged throat to indicate carrying of
food to nestlings by adults.

-  Note date, address of potential nest site, number of swifts
observed, and any behavior indicative of breeding at each visit.

-  Email information on our spreadsheet (available by email) to
nycswiftsur...@gmail.com, or share an eBird checklist with appropriate
breeding codes for Chimney Swifts observed with nycswiftsur...@gmail.com.
Use of the New York Breeding Bird Atlas portal* on eBird is ideal but not
required.

*   For more information about the New York Breeding Bird Atlas, please see
here: https://ebird.org/atlasny/about

*   For more information about breeding codes, please see here:
https://ebird.org/atlasny/about/breeding-codes

*Fall Season Roost Colony Protocol:*

-  Visit roost colony sites from late August until the last swifts
have departed, usually in mid-October.

-  Visit roosts at dusk.

-  Ideally visit each roost site twice per week, but any
observations are greatly appreciated.

-  Carefully count or estimate the number of Chimney Swifts
descending into roost sites.

-  Note date of observations and address of roost site.

-  Email date, site info, and number of swifts on our spreadsheet
(available via email) to nycswiftsur...@gmail.com or share eBird checklists
with nycswiftsur...@gmail.com.



No contribution is too small, and any data are appreciated! *If you know of
any sites in NYC used by Chimney Swifts for nesting and/or roosting but are
not able to survey these sites for this project, please reach out to us so
we can map these locations and ensure that each gets some coverage.*



To get involved or for questions or comments, email us at
nycswiftsur...@gmail.com.
