Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for *Friday, April 29th
2022* at 11pm. The highlights of today's tape are MOTTLED DUCK,
SWALLOW-TAILED KITE, BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER, KING EIDER, ICELAND GULL,
GULL-BILLED TERN, LEAST BITTERN, PROTHONOTARY, YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS,
SUMMER TANAGER and spring migrants.
The MOTTLED DUCK, found on April 5th, and a potential first record for New
York State pending NYSARC acceptance, was reported both days last weekend
at Ketcham's Creek freshwater wetland in Amityville but not since, perhaps
due to waning interest. It is also not clear that the duck was always being
critically identified so please provide supporting evidence if the MOTTLED
is seen again.
Once again a brief appearance by a SWALLOW-TAILED KITE locally left a few
observers quite pleased though it did not stick around for others to enjoy.
This sighting took place last Wednesday morning at Jones Beach West End.
But certainly the bonus bird of the week was a male BLACK-THROATED GRAY
WARBLER nicely found early yesterday morning in the Midwood off Center
Drive in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. Many observers on hand continued to
search throughout the day and were able to refind the bird at various times
but follow-up searches today were not successful.
A drake KING EIDER was still present at Great Kills Park on Staten Island
last Sunday and late ICELAND GULLS were noted at Fort Tilden last Saturday
and at Plumb Beach Monday. A GULL-BILLED TERN was photographed at Plumb
Beach on Tuesday the same day single CASPIAN TERNS visited Hempstead Lake
State Park and Southard's Pond in Babylon.
A Prospect Park LEAST BITTERN was still present Thursday along the western
side of Prospect Park Lake. In Westchester a CATTLE EGRET flew by the
nature center at Croton Point Park Tuesday afternoon headed northwest and
an adult RED-HEADED WOODPECKER continues at the Rockefeller State Park
Preserve.
A growing number of migrant non-passerines this week included YELLOW-BILLED
CUCKOO, EASTERN WHIP-POOR-WILL, SOLITARY SANDPIPER, LEAST and COMMON TERNS
and BLACK SKIMMER.
Among the passerines the PROTHONOTARY WARBLER continued at Central Park's
north end to last Sunday and a few YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS included
singles at Hempstead Lake State Park and Oakland Lake Thursday and at
Fuch's Pond in Northport today as well as one at Croton Point Park from
Tuesday through today and the continuing birds at the Bayard Cutting
Arboretum in Great River. An ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER has lingered in Central
Park since Monday and other arriving warblers have included OVENBIRD,
NASHVILLE, AMERICAN REDSTART, CAPE MAY, MAGNOLIA, BLACKBURNIAN,
CHESTNUT-SIDED and BLACK-THROATED BLUE with more to come.
A SUMMER TANAGER visited a home up in Harlem late last week last seen on
the 22nd and other passerines occurring this week featured GREAT CRESTED
FLYCATCHER, EASTERN KINGBIRD, EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE, RED-EYED VIREO, VEERY,
LINCOLN'S SPARROW, BOBOLINK and SCARLET TANAGER.
To phone in reports, call Tom Burke at (914) 967-4922.
