Re: [nysbirds-l] Rufous Hummingbird, NYC 12/15 - photos now uploaded
Hello all, I headed over to AMNH before sunrise today and just as I walked up to the planter on the east side of the entrance to the Rose Center for Earth and Space I saw a hummingbird feeding on a tall spiky plant with light colored flowers. This was at about 7:10am or so. Between 7:40 and 8:10am it few more appearances. It flew a couple of times across the plaza and landed in the planter on the west side of the entrance where it seemed to hunker down in the lower bushes. The best views of it I had when it perched on a bare branch right near the wall (right below the word Natural in the museum name). By this time also Sam Stuart had showed up and we enjoyed the sight of the hummingbird despite the lack of sunshine. I've uploaded a few photos from this morning at my Flickr account. Unfortunately no tail-spreads. http://www.flickr.com/photos/landp/ good December birding, Anders Peltomaa Manhattan On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 7:33 AM, Tom Fiore tom...@earthlink.net wrote: Thursday, 15 December, 2011 (7:15 - 7:30 a.m.) The Rufous Hummingbird is present in Manhattan, N.Y. City - on the Upper West Side, by the small flower plantings next to the American Museum of Natural History's Rose planetarium entrance, which is inside the small park on West 81 Street, between Columbus Avenue Central Park West. Since it is now 3 days ahead of the Lower Hudson CBC, this bird is now within the count period - it would also be great if a few, or at least one, counter were to seek this on the day of the count in Manhattan. The bird was active through about 4:25 p.m. on Wed. 12/14 at the same location. (Thanks to all who were there). Check all the flower plantings closely as the hummingbird may be either feeding discretely, or perched on the nearby vegetation. Anders Peltomaa was first on the scene this Thursday at about 7 a.m. had seen the bird as of 7:15 or so, in the larger of the plantings immediately east of the planetarium's West 81 Street (main) entrance area (which is also a museum entry.) A few more photos of the spread tail that will likely show this bird to be 'Selasphorus rufus' beyond most doubts. It is assuredly a Selasphorus, and virtually certain to be identified as 'rufus'. Birds in Central Park (Manhattan) on Wed.(12/14) included a late Eastern Phoebe still around Turtle Pond ( often hiding from very active hawk patrols), a late Baltimore Oriole that's been around the Ramble for weeks, sometimes coming by the feeders there ( not the most colorful that's been seen of this species), and an Orange-crowned Warbler by the Conservatory Garden, the area just to the west of the north gate with brushy steep slopes (this possibly a bird that's lingered in the north end of the park just as possibly a more recent arrival), plus some half-hardy additional species such as Winter Wren, Gray Catbird, Brown Thrasher (hard to see at times near or in Halllet Sanctuary), and a couple of Hermit Thrushes, some other more-typical spp. such as Wood Ducks (The Pond), red Fox Sparrows (various locations) and others. A Wed. a.m. visit to the Rockefeller Center (the big tree and huge crowds and usual crazy holiday traffic) area in mid-town Manhattan, at Fifth Ave.-Sixth Ave. and 48-50 Streets, allowed views of two Common Yellowthroats (a male a female, not together), and a Hermit Thrush, along with some not-that-unusual-in-the-midst-of-Manhattan-in-winter White-throated Sparrows, etc. - I did not get to Bryant Park but understand some, or all of the recently-seen specials there were still there as of Wed.

Re: [nysbirds-l] More Manhattan Selasphorus pics....
Hi all, After work I stopped by the AMNH and again the hummingbird made an immediate appearance in the flower beds east of the 81st Street entrance. After a minute or so it flew over to the flower beds on the west side and it stayed there for about 20 minutes, perching and feeding. In rather poor light I got a few more photos of it, but no good capture of its tail spread. http://www.flickr.com/photos/landp/6518343403 The bird settled in the same place as yesterday - in the bushes near the wall in the flower bed west of the entrance. With some luck there will be some sunlight reaching the flower bed area early tomorrow morning. good luck if you go, Anders Peltomaa Manhattan On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 12:54 PM, Jacob Drucker jacobdruc...@msn.comwrote: Hi All, Here are a few more pics of this hummer: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58638795@N08/ The first, blurry picture, shows the gorget shining (looked orangey and pinkish depending on angle), as well as a nice tail-spread, not really revealing a notch in R2, but definitely showing the R1R2R3 (R2-D2).

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan, Rufous Hummingbird continuing at AMNH
Today the continuing hummingbird was seen by many birders and more images were captured by several photographers. One of my photos shows in more detail the molt occurring around the neck area which Jacob mentioned yesterday. http://www.flickr.com/photos/landp/6521872591/in/photostream David Krauss posted to ebirdsnyc and I am forwarding his message: Here are a few more shots to add to the debate about the hummingbird currently visiting the AMNH. If nothing else I think that a few of these clearly emphasize Phil's earlier point that the perspective of an individual shot can make a huge difference in estimating feather length. I've spent a lot of time in CA and the southwest over the past couple of years and, as the photo labels indicate, it looks like a rufous to me.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan: Rufous Hummingbird and Barred Owl
Hi all, An afternoon walk in New York City in the middle of January can hardly get any better than today's walk - with or without dog. First stop was the AMNH where I saw the Rufous Hummingbird for the first time in a week. Then in to Central Park and when walking under some pine trees this blob shape caught my eye, and sure enough - the blob was the Barred Owl. As it was close to fly-out time I decided to stay around for a while. I was hoping to see it start moving about and maybe even see it trying to catch a squirrel. Just as it flew off from its roosting spot someone walked up behind me - it was Jacob Drucker (shaky moment in video). Both of us got to watch it take off and chase a couple of squirrels. It looked quite clumsy flying through the branches, but it was thrilling to watch it. Twice it tried to catch a squirrel by walking towards it along the branch on which they both were. A short video of the Rufous Hummingbird here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/landp/6717339393/ and a video capture of the Barred Owl shortly after fly-out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/landp/6717334295/ good birding, Anders Peltomaa Manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] NYNYBIRD - text alert system for New York, NY (Manhattan)
Hello all, Although this may not concern everyone on the state list, I thought I would post this announcement. Some out of the county may be interested since many come in to the city for the peak of Spring migration. Anyhow, I have set up a be text message alert for New York county (Manhattan) named NYNYBIRD. A text message alert system has the advantage that one do not need to have internet access or a smart phone. This system will work with any cell phone, old or new. You can subscribe here: http://lite.textmarks.com/nynybird Once you are subscribed you will automatically get the text messages other birders send to NYNYBIRD, and you yourself can report your sighting by sending a text to 41411. You _must_ start your message with the word NYNYBIRD, then type in the full species name (no banding codes, please) and the enter the location. For example, Prothonotary Warbler in Central Park by the Castle Appropriate texts to NYNYBIRD would be unusual bird sightings (that are chaseable for other birders), out-of-season birds, etc for the locale in Manhattan. Doug Gochfeld, who created text alerts for Long Island (LIRBA), Brooklyn and Queens (BKBIRD) did a nice write-up of how to use group textmessage alerts with examples of bad and good reports here: http://sites.google.com/site/birdingnewyork/text-alerts/brooklyn-queens-birding IMPORTANT. If you sign up make sure you enter YOUR REAL NAME in the username field. This is important because messages gets signed off by the user name. And we want to see who reports of course so we get credibility in the system. enjoy every bird - share your unusual sightings, Anders Peltomaa Manhattan PS. One alert this morning resulted in that Starr Saphir's entire group got to enjoy great views of the first Praire Warbler for the year within minutes after the text was sent. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

Re:[nysbirds-l] Kentucky W's, Grasshopper Sparrow, Manhattan, NYC 5/3
As described Stephen Chang found a small, pale sparrow with a single white media crown stripe on the eastern most lawn bowling and croquet field north of Sheep Meadow. Stephen had taken photos and showed them to a few birders in the Ramble. Anthony Collerton thought it looked too pale, but that the light-colored crown stripe pointed to Grasshopper Sparrow. All of the bird's markings didn't fit that though. Anyhow, to check on it Richard Liebermann and I walked by there on our way out of the park and found the bird perching on the westside fence. After 30s or so it drop down and flew across the field towards the building (Au Bon Pain cafe building). It then stayed out of sight for about 20 minutes before I found it again (Richard had to leave), now it was feeding on the grass lawn with two Chipping Sparrows, a few House Sparrows and White-throats, plus one Junco. The then mystery sparrow was the same size as the Chippies. It was paler than any of the Grasshopper Sparrows in my iBird guide, but I could see that it had faint buff streaking on the flanks and across the breast. Plain face with dark eye. Short tail. Back pattern not really describable. Once I got access to a computer I looked up photos of Grasshopper Sparrows online and found photos of paler individuals than the ones in the iBird guide. This is the first Grasshopper Sparrow(if that what it is, I think so) I have seen in Central Park and I have not seen many anywhere else. It's flight and dive in to the hedge on the western side of the ball lawn field when being chased by a House Sparrow was also fitting that of the flight of a Grasshopper Sparrow. I went back at 6pm after work hoping to get photos of the bird, but I did not see it. The other sparrow species and Junco were still there though, so it is possible that also the Grasshopper Sparrow will be there tomorrow. good birding and a new bird for Central Park, Anders Peltomaa -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] Photo and video of the Grand Prize bird today: American White Pelican, JBWR
Hello all, An early morning trip together with David Krauss to the East Pond at Jamaica Bay turned interesting when I was scanning the North end of the Pond from the beach a short distance past Peep Island. I zeroed in on a large white bird preening and zoomed in to max to decide what it was, then it turned and its HUGE orange/yellow bill became obvious - slam. I called David who had decided to stop at Peep Island to photograph a couple of very cooperative White-rumped Sandpipers. While David was walking over, I opened my email to send a report to NYSBIRDS, but found that Andrew Baksh had already done so - and I thought I had found it... ;-) After that we both had seen the bird and I had taken a couple of documentation photos I resumed walking north to get closer, but I didn't have to walk far because the bird flew south and landed across the pond from me. Sweet. Here are links to one of the better photos I got and a short phone-scoped video of the bird. For those of you who couldn't get out birding today I'm hoping it will like the East Pond and return tomorrow. good birding, Anders Peltomaa Manhattan http://www.flickr.com/photos/landp/7782701934/in/photostream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3dcTC0KOAU -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] Randall's Island, NYC: Nelson's Sparrows
Hi all, Yesterday, I and Brian Padden got on our bicycles and rode out to Randall's Island. It was a great day for a bike ride, but the main reason was of course to see the Nelson's Sparrows that Alan Drogin found, and reported on Sunday afternoon. It was quite windy and that made the Sparrows stay down for most of the time. We had a few very short views of birds popping up in different locations, but just as quickly did they drop down again. Finally after about 1 1/2 hour one sparrow flew out and landed on a rock near where we were standing. I got a few good photos of it and have posted one photo to Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/landp/8097060758/ If you haven't gone out to Randall's to look for these birds you ought to do it. Here is a map with directions from the website of Randall's Island Park Alliance: http://randallsisland.org/maps-directions/ (The location of the sparrows is the Wetlands at the top-right on the map) I am so glad that Alan Drogin put in the leg work in searching for birds, and coming up with this great find of a new location for Nelson's Sparrows. Anders Peltomaa Manhattan PS. Andrew Farnsworth reported early this morning that the NESP are still there. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] Fwd: [ebirdsnyc] A November weekend in Central Park, and other notes
Hi all, Below is a nice summary write-up, by Doug Kurz, of the excellent Fall birding we had this past week in Central Park, NY, NY. Enjoy, Anders Peltomaa Manhattan It was a birdy weekend in the Park, giving the overall impression that we were still seeing the avian after-effects of the superstorm. There was plenty of overhead flight including raptors, and good numbers of passerines were found throughout. Saturday seemed to be a bit better than Sunday in terms of overall numbers, but each day had its highlights. Saturday's star was a magnificent BARRED OWL, while Sunday gave us an adorable SAW-WHET OWL. Both birds were impacted by observers; the Barred Owl kept shifting to higher and higher roosts as the groups of finger-pointing birders increased, while the Saw-whet had to be protected by the Conservancy putting up barricades to keep out overzealous photographers and birders. A Conservancy worker told me that people had actually been climbing into the very branches where the poor little owl was roosting. I hope everyone will remember to respect the birds and keep as great a distance as practicable, particularly with roosting owls. (I'll never forget seeing a family of four birders, parents with two boys, beating a small pine tree with sticks on the median strip at Jones Beach, because they couldn't immediately locate a Saw-whet Owl. Fortunately they failed altogether, and the owl was there the whole time. I won't even say what I wanted to do to them!) Winter finches continue to impress. We had PINE SISKINS at the Evodia feeders and surrounding sweetgums, PURPLE FINCHES in the Oven and at the feeders, WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL flyovers (not seen by me), RED CROSSBILL flyovers (I had five birds, two red and three yellow, flying westward over the Lower Lobe Sunday morning, giving the same kip-kip-kip-kip calls that we heard in September, so perhaps Type 3). Two female EVENING GROSBEAKS delighted viewers at the blowdown meadow southeast corner of Great Hill in the North End (thanks Sam Stuart et al.) Overhead raptors included good numbers of RED-SHOULDERED HAWK both days, dominated by juvenile birds of typical Eastern morph. Look for the black wing-ends and the adjacent translucent windows for easy identification. Even without the windows the black at the ends of the wings separates these birds nicely from Broad-winged or Red-tailed Hawks. I had about a dozen Red-shouldered over the weekend, at least as many Red-tailed, two Broad-winged, two Cooper's, one Osprey, and one Northern Harrier as flyovers. On the ground, impressive numbers of Tufted Titmouse were joined by numerous Hermit Thrushes, Dark-eyed Juncos, and White-throated Sparrows. These four species could be found just about everywhere. A complete list follows. Pied-billed Grebe (Reservoir, Sat.) Canada Goose Wood Duck (Sat. pair Upper Lobe, one juv male off the Point) Mallard American Black Duck (two pair, Reservoir, Sat.) Northern Shoveler Bufflehead (Reservoir, and one f at the Pool) Ruddy Duck Turkey Vulture Northern Harrier (flyover) Cooper's Hawk (two flyovers) Red-shouldered Hawk (~10 flyovers) Broad-winged Hawk (2 flyovers) Red-tailed Hawk (12+ flyovers) Osprey (1 flyover) American Kestrel (one male Great lawn) American Coot (resrevoir) Ring-billed Gull Herring Gull Great Black-backed Gull Mourning Dove Rock Dove (Pigeon) BARRED OWL (Sat.) NORTHERN SAW-WHET OWL (Sun.) Red-bellied Woodpecker Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (quite a few) Downy Woodpecker Northern Flicker Eastern Phoebe (one on Sat.) Blue-headed Vireo (S. of Strawberry Fields Sat. morning) Blue Jay American Crow (incl. flock of 20 flying southeast) Fish Crow (one flyover, calling) Tufted Titmouse (abundant) Black-capped Chickadee Red-breasted Nuthatch (several, including Evodia feeders) White-breasted Nuthatch (more numerous than Red Nut) Brown Creeper (several on Sat.) Winter Wren (Azalea Pond / Gill) Golden-crowned Kinglet (Pinetum) Ruby-crowned Kinglet American Robin Hermit Thrush (numerous) Gray Catbird Northern Mockingbird European Starling Cedar Waxwing (some roosting, several floyover flocks) Yellow-rumped Warbler (Strawberry Fields, Pinetum) Northern Cardinal Indigo Bunting (Great Hill) Eastern Towhee Savannah Sparrow (one East of Falconer's) Fox Sparrow Song Sparrow Swamp Sparrow (Lower Lobe) Dark-eyed (Slate-colored) Junco Red-winged Blackbird RUSTY BLACKBIRD (Azalea Pond) Common Grackle Baltimore Oriole (two in the Ramble) EVENING GROSBEAK (two adult females, Blowdown Meadow) Purple Finch (Evodia feeders and Oven) RED CROSSBILL (flock of five, 2 red + 3 yellow, calling, flying west southwest over lower lobe, Sunday morning, sounded like the Type 3 we had on Sept 1st) Pine Siskin (Evodia feeders) American Goldfinch Reported by others: EASTERN BLUEBIRD, WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL, Palm Warbler, Northern Parula, possible Common Redpoll P.S. on a separate note, Tueday morning after Hurricane Sandy, birded from shore of Long Island Sound in Sands Point (Port

Re: [nysbirds-l] Cave Swallows
Hello all, I have posted a few full frame images of the flock of Cave Swallows I saw today. When I looked at the photos I saw that there were one Tree Swallow mixed in the flock. In one of the images I counted 34 swallows, but when I pulled my zoom lens back and fired off the flock shots there were at least five swallows outside of the view finder. So in total this flock of swallows were more like 40 birds large.

[nysbirds-l] Sterling Forest warblers
Hi all, A first of season walk this morning along the power line cut at the end of Ironwood Road paid off handsomely. We (John DiGennaro, Brian Padden, Kim and Maibritt Duus, and myself) found our target birds: Cerulean Warbler, Golden-winged Warbler (2-3), Hooded Warbler (several singing along the road coming in) and Blue-winged Warblers. In addition we saw at least a couple of dozens of Prairie Warblers. Also a Scarlett Tanager was seen, but not by all of us. Overhead passed by 3 Broad-winged Hawks, one Bald Eagle, several Turkey Vultures and a single Black Vulture.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Curlew Sandpiper at Mecox -Gone?
Hi all, Gail's hunch about the Curlew Sandpiper unfortunately, turned out to be true. The bird was not present at Mecox today. At least not during the morning hours when Richard Aracil, Brian Padden, David Burgh and I searched for it. We did however bump in to its original finder, Jim Ash, which was nice because he shared his knowledge on local birding. During a quick stop after Mecox we picked up a Marbled Godwit along Dune Road. Anders Peltomaa Manhattan On Aug 24, 2013 7:33 PM, Gail Benson gbenso...@gmail.com wrote: Tom Burke and I enjoyed nice views of the Curlew Sandpiper for an hour during which the Curlew took 3 flights with some peeps out towards the sea, each time ultimately returning to the flats. Around 7 pm, while watching with John Shemilt, the bird took off on its own and headed straight out to sea. After that we did not see it back on the flats by the time we left. Later 20 Cory's Shearwaters were milling about offshore. A Whimbrel also flew by earlier.

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Central Park Virginia Rail. - YES
Hi all, I've been getting a few emails asking for directions to the spot where we have seen the Virginia Rail. So I will try to describe it. Walking in from Central Park West and 103rd Street entrance, head down the path going down to the NE end of the pool (straight down the hill) cross the rustic bridge and make a left down the stairs to the stone arch. Keep walking with the stream on your left, walk over the second rustic bridge (the main stream still on your left), hang left and walk down the paved path to the second wood chip path on your left leading down to the stream. The jewel weeds are on the opposite side of the stream and that is where the Rail was showing. As far as I know the Rail has only been seen late in the afternoon. There is a lot of foot traffic in the area during the morning with people and dogs (many off the leash). So, you might have a better chance of seeing it at the end of the day.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Connecticut Warbler
Hi all, A Connecticut Warbler was seen this morning by a few observers, including myself. The bird was in the fenced in area by ex Swampy Pin Oak. This is the area East of The Rustic Shelter, in the Ramble. Good luck if you go out and try for it. As always with this species, patience is required.

Re: REQUEST re: [nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Lark Sparrow
Hi all, I apologize for not providing the detailed descriptions of the location of the Lark Sparrow that I reported re-finding earlier. The Lark Sparrow was found this morning on the Great Hill in Central Park by other birders. Someone (I don't know who) sent out a text alert to NYNYBIRD (the text alert system I set up last year for New York county, i.e. Manhattan and nearby lying island like Roosevelt and Randall's Island). I went out after work and was lucky to see it with the help of a fellow birder. Again, being in the small community of Manhattan birders I thought that the sighting was known by all, but in retrospect, of course I should have included a precise location. This was a new bird for my County list and it was spectacular! I'm hoping it will stick through tomorrow, so that others will have a chance to see it. - Anders Peltomaa Manhattan PS.

[nysbirds-l] Linnaean Society of NY: A concert with Elijah Shiffer and a talk by Katrina van Grouw, author of The Unfeathered Bird (Tues Nov 12))
*** THE LINNAEAN SOCIETY OF NEW YORK - MEETING PROGRAM - AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY, NEW YORK CITY *** This coming Tuesday evening (November 12, 2013) the Society will host another back-to-back presentation. 6:00 pm — Concert: “Islands in the City” Linnaean member Elijah Shiffer is a senior at the Manhattan School of Music, a composer, and a virtuoso performer on flute, clarinet, and alto saxophone. Since he was thirteen he has been performing his own and others’ compositions in numerous venues around the city, including Jazz at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. He won DownBeat magazine Student Music Awards in 2009 for original song and original extended composition and received the Young Jazz Composer Award in 2008 and 2010 from ASCAP (The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) and was a finalist in 2012. For tonight’s concert, he will be joined by several other Manhattan School students. He writes, “We will be playing pieces that I have written that are influenced by the nature of NYC parks; they present musical portraits of Riverside Park, Central Park, Jamaica Bay, and Orchard Beach/Pelham Bay Park. The images and events I am influenced by focus on the small insights the parks offer into, respectively, the river, the woods, the ocean, and the Sound. Each piece is also influenced by a change of season, especially as it relates to bird migration; together the pieces represent a year in the life of the natural areas of New York City. I will be explaining what each piece represents, and how I translate my influences into music.” 7:30 pm — The Unfeathered Bird, Katrina van Grouw Katrina van Grouw, whose early work appears under her maiden name, Katrina Cook, is a licensed taxidermist and bird bander, a natural history illustrator for magazines and books, an author and a successful fine artist. She graduated with an MA from the Royal College of Art, spent seven years as a curator of birds at London's Natural History Museum and left to work on the book that became The Unfeathered Bird, the subject of tonight's talk. Twenty-five years in the making, the book, in her drawings of birds without their feathers and in her text, makes clear how birds’ “appearance, posture and behavior influence, and are influenced by, their internal structure.“ The Editorial Reviews section of the book's Amazon page lists excerpts of reviews from 42 publications, containing such words and phrases as “extraordinary,” “fascinating,” “captivating,” “simply superb,” “genuinely new insights into the behavior of living species,” “an adventure,“ “a remarkable blend of science and art,” “a treasure trove of 385 stunning anatomical drawings,“ ”haunting,“ ”seductive,“ ”magnificent,“ ”a monumental achievement,“ ”wonderful and enlightening,“ ”a classic,“ ”a precious thing,“ ”utterly unique,“ ”gorgeous,“ ”truly a magnum opus,“ ”astounding,“ ”[u]nsettling and irresistible.“ She writes, Originally intended as a tool for artists, The Unfeathered Bird gradually evolved into something more ambitious, and every day my eyes were opened to some new discovery. The book became a work intended equally for scientists and artists, but also for anyone with an appreciation of birds or an interest in their adaptations and behavior. Its 385 illustrations of 200 species were made from actual skeletons, virtually all of which were prepared and reconstructed at home from specimens donated from zoos, wildlife hospitals and conservation charities. In this talk I will explain my aims and inspirations and share what I've learned about birds beneath their feathers, from where to find a toucan's nostrils to why it is that birds have proportionately longer necks than almost any other animal. *WHERE WHEN* Both programs are open to the public FREE OF CHARGE and will be held in the Linder Theater of the AMNH. Enter the museum from the 77th Street entrance, where the route to the auditorium will be sign posted. The first program will last approximately one hour with time before the second program to talk to the speakers, and mingle with TLS officers and council members, who can provide information on becoming a part of this thriving natural history society. * * *MORE INFORMATION ON TLS PROGRAMS* Please check out (and bookmark) our website: http://linnaeannewyork.org/ or visit us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/*Linnaean*-*Society*-of-New-York/335385365977?ref=ts Look forward to seeing you on Tuesday (no reservations necessary).

Re: [nysbirds-l] are Snowy Owls really primarily diurnal hunters??
The other day I was perusing the latest catalog from Buteo Books and saw that there was a new monograph published last year with the title The Snowy Owl. Here is the description and a link to it at Buteo Books here in case someone wants to check it out. The Snowy Owl - possibly the world's sexiest bird - needs little introduction. This massive white owl breeds throughout the Arctic, wherever there are voles or lemmings to hunt, from Scandinavia through northern Russia to Canada and Greenland. Southerly movements in winter see North American birds travel as far south as the northern United States, while infrequent vagrants on the Shetlands and other northern isles are a magnet for birders. The Snowy Owl gives this popular bird the full Poyser treatment, with sections looking at morphology, distribution, palaeontology and evolution, habitat, breeding, diet, population dynamics, movements, interspecific relationships and conservation, supported by some fabulous photography and the art of Jackie Garner. A major strength is the availability to the authors of Russian literature, which is generally out of reach for Western scientists. http://www.buteobooks.com/product/13826.html Thanks Ardith for starting this discussion. Anders Peltomaa Mannahatta On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 6:26 PM, Ardith Bondi ard...@earthlink.net wrote: I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this edifying discussion about Snowy Owl hunting hours. It would be nice if the guide books would give the broader picture. But, barring that, at least we have some perspective. And, the posting of the old publications about Snowys was an added bonus. Ardith Bondi On 12/4/13 8:49 PM, Angus Wilson wrote: As others have said already, being a high-arctic breeder Snowy Owls really have no choice but to hunt in daylight because there is little or no night during the summer. This, I would guess, is what the textbooks are referring to. The opposite will be true during the winter for the many birds that stay north, when the night is long. Also the owls will have the prey to themselves when strictly diurnal competitors such as Rough-legged Hawk and Golden Eagle are roosting. So to persist in the far north the species must be quite flexible relative to other owls and this would come in handy when birds irrupt southward. Speaking from a coastal perspective, I've never seen a wintering Snowy actively hunting during the day time. They certainly move around, occasionally spar with others when present, dodge attacks from Short-eared Owls or hawks and are generally vigilant but don't seem to be hunting per se. I've routinely seen them become much more active at dusk, presumably in preparation for a night of hunting. It would be interesting to hear if this rest up during the day and hunt by night holds true for birds wintering on farmland where they target different prey from those on the coast. Many will remember the Snowy Owl that frequented Piermont Pier (Rockland Co.) in Februrary 2007. This bird dined on Ruddy Ducks snatched from the sheltered bay, bringing them back to a perch where the pile of discarded heads and feet attracted a most splendid adult Ivory Gull. My recollection was that the owl fed mostly at night but maybe someone can confirm or refute this. A priori, it would seem a lot easier for the owl to swoop down on roosting ducks (and as we've heard roosting gulls) under the cover of darkness when it has the visual advantage. Phil Jeffrey has posted pictures (albeit gory ones) of the polishing off a stiff tail. http://philjeffrey.net/piermont2.html Bottom line, individual Snowy Owls can probably adapt their feeding/roosting cycles to fit the available prey. I imagine they also hunt less and roost more if food is easy to acquire during optimal periods. With so many owls around this year, it would interesting to learn from field observers what the current birds (largely immatures by the fact that most are very heavily barred) are feeding on and when they do so. One more reason to view from a distance and let them to do their thing.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan Varied Thrush
Hi all, The Varied Thrush that was first found yesterday was again seen by a small group of birders today in the afternoon. Thanks to Sandra Paci for finding it and to Dale Dancis and Andrew Baksh for getting the word out. I arrived at the location a little past 1pm today. At first I got a little lost among all the buildings, which all looked the same to me. However the Varied Thrush re-appeared where Sandra had first found it and showed it self off and on for a good while. Using my smartphone I took a couple of screenshots of the exact location and with my camera I got a few shots of it. Here is a link to these images, both the location and bird. http://www.flickr.com/photos/landp/sets/72157638740409676/ good city birding, Anders Peltomaa Manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

Hi all, I just returned home from the NYC Audubon Winter Seals and Waterbirds Harbor Cruise.

[nysbirds-l] Nassau county: Rough-legged Hawk by Meadowbrook Parkway
Hi all, At 2:00 pm as Rich Fried, Brian Padden and I were heading back to the city, we happened upon a Rough-legged Hawk flying near the road. It was hovering and soaring over a field. We didn't get to see it for an extended time as we could only make a quick pullover. Other highlights of the morning were a flock of 18 Purple Sandpipers on the jetty at Jones Beach West End, and a pair of Harlequin Ducks at Point Lookout. good birding, Anders Peltomaa Manhattan ‘Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.' – Martin Luther King, Jr. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

Re:[nysbirds-l] NYC, Reservoir
Waterfowl numbers are much lower today. I just finished a walk around the reservoir: no sighting of the Red-necked Grebe, Ring-necked Duck or American Wigeon. Neither did I see any Wood Duck, although there might be some near the central South end which I couldn't cover as i was walking with our dog. The male and female Red-breasted merganser were on the West side. One Ruddy Duck at the SW corner.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: VIRGINIA RAIL
Hello, Sam Stuart found a Virginia Rail in the Loch, i.e. the water stream running through the ravine at the North End of Central Park. When Sam discovered the bird it was walking in the water near the confluence of the small stream and the larger stream. This is downstream from both the rustic bridges. Around 7:30pm the bird made a re-appearance for Sam, Anya Auerbach, Brian Padden and Brett and myself. We had decent views of it in the low light as it was walking in the water and standing still feeding. After a while it walked/ran back up on land and disappeared out of view behind some fallen tree trunks. It could pay off searching for it tomorrow. The Virginia Rail that was in the same area in September last year stayed for a few days. good birding, Anders Peltomaa Manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
Re: [nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 4/12
Hi all, It was a glorious morning in Central Park. FOS species included Black-and-white Warblers (3 in total), Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and the highlight bird, a male Eastern Bluebird found by my friend Brian Padden (I reported it, but Brian was the one who found it.) Please forgive us city birders for getting excited over a bluebird, but we do not see Eastern Bluebirds in Central Park every year. I have not looked back at my records but of the top of my head this is the 5/6 bird that I have seen in the 8 years that I have been birding over here. A crappy photo of the Bluebird and two fuzzy photos of a Gnatcatcher are the latest photos on my Flickr page. happy birding, Anders Peltomaa Mannahatta On Sat, Apr 12, 2014 at 11:00 AM, Thomas Fiore tom...@earthlink.net wrote: Saturday, 12 April, 2014 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y.

When going to look for that, M.M., Sandy Paci, and I saw a beautifully-plumaged Savannah Sparrow, as well as 3 Field Sparrows in that meadow just above the balanced boulder, there were some other nice birds in that area as well, such as male E. Towhee and Chipping Sparrow, etc. At the Blockhouse in the north woods, K. Wada, M.M. I watched 2 Blue-gray Gnatcatchers play in a couple of Hackberry trees, very slightly east of the Blockhouse on the main path. Also present were both species of Kinglet, as are being seen elsewhere around the park. At the reservoir, what is now at least the *4th Red-necked Grebe* of this year was photographed, in near-full breeding plumage, this grebe seen at sunrise near the n. side.

[nysbirds-l] Mine Torn Road Closing
Good morning, My friend Randolph Schultz sent me an email yesterday with information I wanted to share with the birding community. West Point military has closed Mine Torn Road to the public. Some of you might have trips planned to the area, and were looking forward to seeing the breeding birds along Mine Torn Road. Sorry for bringing bad news... From their newsletter: Mine Torne Road closed to the public Mine Torne Road is no longer a thoroughfare and is closed on both ends. This road is only for military training access and used by authorized patrons for access to hunting and fishing areas. If the gates are open, do not enter unless you have specific permission. Authorized users may sign out a key to Gate 63 (Mine Torne Road) from the range operations fire-desk (Bldg. 1403) between 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. Accessibility to Mine Torne Road and all other venues within the West Point Training Complex are determined based on military training requirements. For details, call Alec M. Lazore, range officer, at 845-938-3007.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Mother's Day birds
Hi all, A wonderful morning in Central Park today. I tallied 20 species of warblers, including two FOY species: Canada warbler and Bay-breasted warbler. On top of that, the folks in our group had spectacular views of a Summer Tanager. We found three all-you-can-eat smorgasbords for birds (aka hatch-outs). At one of them the star bird was a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, which was cooperative and provided a good opportunity to study this uncommon species. At the same location we also for a short moment had an Olive-sided Flycatcher (first for Central Park for my self). Lastly, but not to frown upon we saw a first-of-year Gray-cheeked Thrush. My check list for the morning ended at 73 species. Others, who have more free time today will surely have longer lists. happy birding, Anders Peltomaa Manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Red-headed Woodpecker
Hi all, This morning I spent about 1 1/2 hour birding the midsection of Central Park. I started at the SW corner of the Reservoir and walked the south side, along which I found 4 each of Black-crowned Night-herons and Great Egrets. On the water there was a Pied-billed Grebe, uncommon for this time period. The big surprise of the morning I found on the East side of the Great Lawn, where I heard an unusual call that first didn't click with my brain. Luckily the bird called again and triggered the right neurons - RED-HEADED WOODPECKER. Looking up I quickly found the white-black-and-red bird high up in an oak tree. It was a stunning adult and its color was like an explosion in the brilliant morning light. The woodpecker kept high in the trees and moved around, each time it flew a little bit more to the North. I last saw it near the 86th Street transverse, East of the basketball and volleyball courts. Hopefully the birders who responded to my alert will re-find it and more people get to see it. good birding, Anders Peltomaa Manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge
Hello all, Yesterday afternoon Andrew Rubenfeld, Eric Ozawa and I went to Jamaica Bay to attend the first Open House Public Meeting that NPS held at the Visitors Center as a step in the process to develop a plan for the West Pond. More on that later. Before the meeting we took some time to go birding and found a few birds, including: Forster's, Common and Least Tern, Glossy Ibis, Snowy Egret, Black Skimmer, etc. The West Pond itself is a sad sad sight. Over at Big John's Pond we saw one Barn Owl in the box. There was a good turnout at the meeting and we birders were well represented. Those of you who could not attend the meeting can still get the information that was shared at the meeting and take part in the process. Just keep in mind that the comment period closes on 7/30/2014. Below is a link to the web page on NPS website with the details. At the bottom of the page you will find a link to the Newsletter they presented at the meeting. The newsletter include four alternatives for the West Pond (other alternatives may/will hopefully be worked out in the process). Please send in your comments and push for a full restoration of a freshwater pond at Jamaica Bay. It was created to serve as a replacement for the freshwater habitat that was lost to development in the region. We must ensure it is restored. http://bit.ly/JBWR_WP_EA - good birding for the future Anders Peltomaa Manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

Hi all, On the topic of early Pine Siskins I thought I'd forward two reports of that species in New York, NY (Manhattan). Yesterday, Sunday 9/28, Nadir Sourgi heard 2 Pine Siskins calling in the North Woods of Central Park (ebird checklist). In the early morning today, Monday 9/29, Junko Suzuki saw a small group (5) of Pine Siskins at Strawberry Field, which is also in Central Park (ebirdsnyc). happy Fall birding, Anders Peltomaa Mannahatta On Mon, Sep 29, 2014 at 1:08 PM, J GLUTH jgl...@optonline.net wrote: There was definite migratory movement by Blue Jays on Long Island's north shore Sunday morning. Nothing comparable with what Mickey Scilingo has been experiencing upstate, but I counted a minimum of 250 over the first 2 hours or so of my visit (7:15-10:45) when I was in more open habitat close to the LI Sound beachfront. Groups of 5-15 jays were steadily moving west, with sporadic rebound flights of some birds heading back to the east. They were fairly ubiquitous when I birded in the woods farther inland later in the morning as well. There were some smaller passerines moving early too, but in much lower numbers and distant/high enough to be mostly beyond my flight ID skills. Other later Fall migrants seen in good numbers included E. Phoebe and Palm Warbler, with personal FOS Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and White-throated and White-crowned sparrows also present. Unfortunately no Siskins.

[nysbirds-l] Plum Beach, Brooklyn: Northern Wheatear - NO this morning

I walked on the beach between the rock jetty and the east end, and along the trail inside the dunes, three times each and found no Wheatear. Last night when I saw the skies clear and felt the the air getting cooler I thought, this bird is going to fly tonight.

[nysbirds-l] Nightjar in Bryant Park: Chuck-will's-widow
Hi all, The nightjar that Gabriel Willow found this morning is a Chuck-wills-widow. I just saw it now during my lunch hour and on the scene were a group of birders who were discussing the id and some thought Whip-poor-will. Points to note are size, large flat head, long wings that are crossing each other over the tail, almost reaching tail tip. All those are characteristic for Chuck. The id has also been confirmed by Andrew Farnsworth. If you have the opportunity, go watch this bird. It's in an open location and you'll get great views.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: PROTHONOTARY WARBLER
Hi all, I've been receiving a couple emails, after my report of a Prothonotary Warbler in Central Park, questioning me on whether the bird I saw was the one released earlier in the day (3+ hours) by the Wild Bird Fund. Short answer, I don't know. I was at work all day long. I'm assuming that the implied question is, whether a sighting of a rare/unusual bird is countable after the release of a bird of the same species in the same county. What do you think?

Here is a short video of it feeding in the wet grass and mud. https://youtu.be/RpH--viHyKw good summer birding, Anders Peltomaa -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
RE: [nysbirds-l] Saltmarsh Sparrow 2311-78750
Hi all, The article that Shai referred is available online. http://www.bioone.org/doi/10.1642/AUK-14-299.1 To me it's kind of a relief to know that there is ground for our difficulty to id every Saltmarsh/Nelson sparrow. The authors studied 290 individual sparrows from 34 marshes and find that a whopping 52% of the birds showed mixed ancestry.

[nysbirds-l] Fwd: [cayugabirds-l] Cinnamon Teal continues, Montezuma NWR
FYI, See below. Anders Peltomaa ‘Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.' – Martin Luther King, Jr. -- Forwarded message -- From: "Dave Nutter" <nutter.d...@mac.com> Date: Nov 3, 2015 9:58 AM Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Cinnamon Teal continues, Montezuma NWR To: "cayugabird...@cornell.edu" <cayugabird...@cornell.edu> Cc: The CINNAMON TEAL was reported by Logan Kahle on Larue’s Lagoon shortly after 6am this morning. Joe Wing reported that it was flushed by an eagle and flew from there toward the Main Pool at 9am. If this bird sticks around long enough it may finish transitioning and remove doubt as to whether it is a Blue-winged Teal hybrid. Or it may not transition further which might (or might not) suggest it’s a hybrid. As Kevin notes, BNA says they retain eclipse traits for quite awhile.
