[nysbirds-l] 9/14 LSNY Zoom Presentation: “How Bats Are Uniting Conservationists in the Global South"

2021-09-10 Thread Kathleen Matthews 
Our first FALL program is FREE and open to all! 

Join The Linnaean Society of New York at 7pm on Tuesday, 9/14, for a special 
Zoom presentation, “How Bats Are Uniting Conservationists in the Global South,” 
by Angelique Menchaca, PhD, bat conservationist and Director of Global South 
Bats

We couldn’t enjoy Tequila without bats, a single little brown bat can eat up to 
1000 mosquito-sized insects in a night, and yet they still get a bad rap!  
What’s the story?

Dr. Menchaca will cover some of the most remarkable aspects of bat diversity, 
as well as the bat’s role in ecosystems, and in our daily lives. You will also 
learn how their link with disease transmission inflicts damage on their 
reputation. 

Learn about a new initiative, led by young scientists, helping protect bats in 
the most vulnerable places on earth and changing the future of conservation 
across the Global South. 

As a result of this talk, you will undoubtedly fall in love with bats and 
become an advocate for their protection.

[nysbirds-l] migrants in Manhattan (mostly), 9/10 - prelim's. for a good arrival day

2021-09-10 Thread Thomas Fiore 
Friday, Sept. 10th - Manhattan (for now) in N.Y. City -

A CONNECTICUT Warbler has been found in Central Park; details of that a bit 
later. Not surprising for the date & with a goodly no. being also reliably 
reported around the region in recent days.

A very preliminary tally of other warbler species for N.Y. County on Friday, 
Sept. 10th was up to 26 - species - by mid-day, with *slightly* less-expected 
(now) including Blue-winged, Worm-eating, & Mourning Warblers;  other species 
(that are expected) in good no’s. included:  Bay-breasted, Tennessee, Cape May, 
Prairie, Black-throated Green (uh - check all of those closely!), and some 
multiple of: Blackburnian, Nashville, Pine, Blackpoll, Wilson’s, & Canada. Plus 
all the rest, with a definite re-invigoration of Chestnut-sided Warbler… still 
looking to add to that warbler tally.   A Cerulean Warbler was reliably 
reported on the southern-most park of NYC and NY state (Dr. R. Veit), for 9/10, 
that’s Conference House Park on Staten Island / Richmond Co.

Also freshly-arrived in some numbers were more E. Wood-Pewees (& a few 
Olive-sided Flycatchers, for good measure), as well as more Empidonax [genus], 
& still at least a few E. Kingbirds on the move, plus Great Crested Flycatcher, 
and E. Phoebe.  Both Cuckoo species have been found on Manhattan, & a good many 
Chimney Swifts were on the move as well. No surprise on strong n/nw wind, the 
fresh cold-front bringing raptors, esp. the larger spp. - Bald Eagles, Ospreys 
as well as some others thru - and, in overnight & earliest-a.m. flight, 
Swainson’s Thrush above all, in numbers pushing south but also a good many 
dropping in, some to small parks & green-spaces.  Of course many many other 
species on the day; a more complete tally will be coming. Of interest as well 
are a few Purple Finches, not quite the 1st-of-fall here.

Indeed, while a few larger parks might have a lot of birders, some smaller 
parks this day -in lower Manhattan in particular- were hot-spots. One such was 
Corlears Hook, and the adjacent East River park spaces. Also quite active by 
the Battery, and we'll anticipate some good sightings from Governors Island for 
the day.  The southern third or so of Central Park was demonstrably as busy if 
not more so for migrants than elsewhere in that park, early in the day.

. . . .
Also good numbers of Monarchs pushing south, with at least 16 other butterfly 
spp. on the day so far in Manhattan alone - more to come...

good birding to all,

Tom Fiore

Just a short heads up for anyone going for the Townsend’s Warbler. They are 
just about to start digging a new grave right where everyone was standing 
looking at the warbler in the Bald Cypress. Be advised to be respectful if you 
go looking.

Thanks and good birding,

[nysbirds-l] NYC migrants, incl. Manhattan, 9/9

2021-09-10 Thread Thomas Fiore 
With the super find of a Townsend’s Warbler in Brooklyn / Kings County, NYC (& 
congrat’s to the 3 finders, as well as all subsequent observers on Thurs., 
9/9); it’s worth a note that (other) observers were still seeing and 
documenting that warbler to the after-6 PM hour, still in roughly same part of 
Green-Wood cemetery the same day.  Hoping it might decide to stay there a 
while, so that yet more birders who wish to can come along to observe; the 
species has a ‘mixed’ history of occurences in eastern-vagrancy situations, 
with both a lot of ‘one-day wonders’ but also a number of lengthier stays by 
some Townsend’s over the years, in various e. states.  

….
On multi-hours in Manhattan (NYC) on Thurs., 9/9, I came up with *not* a whole 
lot in migrants, and limited others’ reports seem to suggest somewhat the same 
around the island. I was able to photograph the female-plumaged N. Pintail on 
the Central Park reservoir (in very light rain, in the morn’), which had been 
there a few days. (A drake pintail was not seen again after it’s showing at the 
Hudson River’s W. 79th St. ‘boat-basin’ on the 7th, but might still be 
somewhere in the area).   At least 10 warbler species (none of them vagrant nor 
rare) were seen in my wanderings, & from reports, not much more was found 
around Manhattan, albeit with less effort by fewer observers relative to prior 
days with much more seen.  Such locations as Battery Park, Bryant Park, & of 
course Central Park all seemed to indicate some departure by Thursday. The 
numbers of such recently-regular migrant spp. for Manhattan as Veery, Scarlet 
Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak -and even some of the Gray Catbirds- appeared 
to have dwindled here by Thurs., while some species might have held on a bit, 
such as Red-eyed & Warbling Vireo[s]. But more should be noted with a greater 
no. of observers out & about, thru this week-end.

There was very strong migration overnight Thurs. into Friday / 10th, and it 
will be interesting to see what the arrivals include. As noted previously, 
there’ve been multiple Connecticut Warbler sightings (and some with strong 
documentation) in the region, including in NYC over the past week+.  More might 
be moving, along with all the rest of many now-anticipated migrant species.

Good birding, and thanks to the reporters still using this list for reports of 
rarities!

[nysbirds-l] NYC migrants, incl. Manhattan, 9/9

2021-09-10 Thread Thomas Fiore 
With the super find of a Townsend’s Warbler in Brooklyn / Kings County, NYC (& 
congrat’s to the 3 finders, as well as all subsequent observers on Thurs., 
9/9); it’s worth a note that (other) observers were still seeing and 
documenting that warbler to the after-6 PM hour, still in roughly same part of 
Green-Wood cemetery the same day.  Hoping it might decide to stay there a 
while, so that yet more birders who wish to can come along to observe; the 
species has a ‘mixed’ history of occurences in eastern-vagrancy situations, 
with both a lot of ‘one-day wonders’ but also a number of lengthier stays by 
some Townsend’s over the years, in various e. states.  

….
On multi-hours in Manhattan (NYC) on Thurs., 9/9, I came up with *not* a whole 
lot in migrants, and limited others’ reports seem to suggest somewhat the same 
around the island. I was able to photograph the female-plumaged N. Pintail on 
the Central Park reservoir (in very light rain, in the morn’), which had been 
there a few days. (A drake pintail was not seen again after it’s showing at the 
Hudson River’s W. 79th St. ‘boat-basin’ on the 7th, but might still be 
somewhere in the area).   At least 10 warbler species (none of them vagrant nor 
rare) were seen in my wanderings, & from reports, not much more was found 
around Manhattan, albeit with less effort by fewer observers relative to prior 
days with much more seen.  Such locations as Battery Park, Bryant Park, & of 
course Central Park all seemed to indicate some departure by Thursday. The 
numbers of such recently-regular migrant spp. for Manhattan as Veery, Scarlet 
Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak -and even some of the Gray Catbirds- appeared 
to have dwindled here by Thurs., while some species might have held on a bit, 
such as Red-eyed & Warbling Vireo[s]. But more should be noted with a greater 
no. of observers out & about, thru this week-end.
