[nysbirds-l] N.Y. County, NYC - Long-tailed Duck (1/22-23), and etc.

2022-01-24 Thread Tom Fiore 
The Mountain Bluebird was again seen at and along River Rd, nearby Esopus 
Meadows Lighthouse Park, Ulster County, NY; the Mt. Bluebird even seen to 
briefly land on the frozen Hudson River, and also with the ongoing accompanying 
Eastern Bluebirds & various other birds in that area, on Sunday 1/23.  These 
birds have ranged up to 1/4-mile or more from the preserve, to the north along 
the road. There were again multiple observers and at various times on Sunday.

- - - -
New York County (in N.Y. City), including Manhattan, Randall’s Island, and 
Governors Island

A female-plumaged Long-tailed Duck on the reservoir in Central Park was 
actually first seen & photo’d on Saturday, 1/22, as indicated with the report & 
photo now in the Macaulay Library archives:  
https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/408809811 
 (and acknowledging M.B. Kooper 
for helping to get word out to many on Sunday, 1/23, continuing at the 
reservoir of Cemtral Park.)

In addition to the Glaucous Gull which 100+ observers saw at the Central Park 
reservoir on Sunday, an Iceland Gull appeared for a while again on Randall’s 
Island. 

As reported previously to this list, two Western Tanagers continued on for 
Sunday in Manhattan in the same 2 respective areas, one in the Clinton / Hell’s 
Kitchen neighborhood on Manhattan’s far west side, showing at 47th to 48th St. 
just east of Tenth Ave. or on & nearby there, and the other ongoing in Carl 
Schurz Park in the far east side of Manhattan, just east of East End Ave. & 
often a bit south of E. 86 St. there.   An Orange-crowned Warbler was seen 
again as it has been at Randall’s Island.

The several Snow Geese have continued in the county with 2 again on Randall’s 
Island and the 1 in Central Park moving around somewhat in recent days and 
before, and having shown along the W. Park Drive area, as well as the Great 
Lawn as so many birders had observed, for Sunday 1/23.

Some video and stills of an adult Bald Eagle that came to have lunch in Central 
Park - and got its meal at the reservoir are at this blog-site: 
https://www.urbanhawks.com/bald-eagle-on-the-reservoir 
 (thanks to D.B. 
Yolton) and as some of us also are amazed to see, the nonchalance, putting it 
mildly, of joggers & passersby just going right on by that rather large bird 
tearing into its’ repast out on the ice, yards from the running-track on that 
reservoir.   A slo-mo view of that same Bald Eagle grabbing its’ lunch meal is 
on: https://www.tiktok.com/@emilybernay/video/7056536111648378158 
 (thanks to E. 
Bernay.)

One of a number of photos of a drake Common Goldeneye, as found & seen by the 
group with A. Barry, at Governors Island on Sunday is archived in the Macaulay 
Library: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/408959931 
 with thanks to R. Davis, and 
another lovely photo is here: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/409065731 
 with thanks to L. Goggin.

On Saturday, at Central Park’s n. end, among the less-expected (for winter) 
sparrows were Field and Chipping Sparrows. As have been reported for some weeks 
now, a good many [Red] Fox Sparrows were continuing around the county, and 
particularly so in Central Park, where up to ten were seen just in the Ramble 
and vicinity, with still others widely scattered all around, in that park & 
elsewhere.

Along with a number of additional Bald Eagle sightings there were at least a 
few Turkey Vultures moving and 2 Black Vultures were seen as well over 
Manhattan (and Central Park) on Sunday.  Altogther, more than 80 species of 
birds were found in N.Y. County, by a great many birders covering all parts of 
the county on Sunday, Jan. 23rd.  

Good and peaceful birding to all,

Tom Fiore
