[nysbirds-l] Three phoebe species?

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
This morning I birded Inwood Hill Park with David Burg and Richard Aracil
and near the northern part of the Ridge Trail, Richard's sharp eyes found
an EASTERN PHOEBE.

If anyone, who is out twitching the Say's and Black Phoebes, wants to get a
triple phoebe day - swing by IHP in northern Manhattan and you might get
lucky...

good birding,

Anders Peltomaa
Manhattan/Sweden

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Leucistic Hermit Thrush

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,

Yesterday, I and many other birders saw this exceptional Hermit thrush in
Central Park. None in my group had ever seen anything like it, and some in
the group have 50+ years of birding experience so calling it exceptional is
not an exaggeration.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Leucistic Hermit Thrush

[Anders Peltomaa]

Thanks Peter,
I have since learnt from others on Facebook better.

Michael Retter replied on Facebook, where I shared it to ABA's page. He
said that he like to call birds like this Hermit Thrush, "hypomelanistic"
and then followed up with another comment.

--- quote ---

There is a great article in Birding (39.5: 38) about pigment abnormalities
in birds. It's from that article that I first learned of the terms
"hypomelanistic", "amelanastic", and "hypermelanistic". Two key passages:

"Melanins are the most prevalent pigments in birds. They produce almost all
of the black, brown, gray, rufous, and buff shades and patterns, and they
come in two general types--eumelanins and phaeomelanins... Eumelanins are
more common and predominate in black and brown feathers, whereas
phaeomelanins are less common and predominate in chestnut and rufous
feathers...The relative proportion of these two pigment types, therefore,
determines most colors...the ruddy throat of a Barn Swallow owes its color
mainly to phaeomelanins."

"The history of the term leucism is ... convoluted and controversial. It
was first applied exclusively to the particular condition that results in
all-white plumage or pelage and normally pigmented eyes and skin (Rensch
1925). Several decades later it was used for the abnormal condition that
results in the dilution of plumage pigments (Harrison 1964). And more
recently it has been applied to everything from an entirely white plumage
to a single white feather (Buckley 1982). Harrison's usage appears to be
the most widely recognized today [2007], but many still favor Buckley's
definition. No matter which definition you prefer, however, the term
leucism falls short in its usefulness for classifying color abnormalities
in birds because it does not account for loss of pigment in unfeathered
areas [such as in this Hermit Thrush's bill]."

---unquote---

Very interesting and certainly the best bird I have seen for a while. One
of those birds that sticks with you and becomes real learning moments.

Re: [nysbirds-l] lots of migration, Manhattan NYC 5/8

[Anders Peltomaa]

Here is a photo of the Chuck-wills-widow that was found by someone in the
Ramble area of Central Park today.
I have never seen a Chuck or Whip roost so low before, great views. Today
was a stellar birding day with a wet beginning, but the bird activity made
up for all the early rain.

[nysbirds-l] Geoffrey "Jeff" Nulle

[Anders Peltomaa]

Dear NYS birder community,
I am posting this message on behalf of Andrew Rubenfeld.

saddened,

Anders Peltomaa

***

Geoffrey Nulle, former president of the Linnaean Society of New York,
passed away at his home in Manhattan a couple of days ago. He had had
recent surgery but the cause of death is not known at this time.
 Jeff also served as LSNY vice president and council member. As chair
of the conservation committee he was instrumental in blocking plans for a
major bicycle path through Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Jeff will be best
remembered for his work in establishing a 10-acre designated bird sanctuary
in Riverside Park, as well as his tireless management of the park's famous
"drip." He also did volunteer work at the Great Gull Island office at the
American Museum of Natural History.
 Arrangements for a memorial service have not been made yet. The LSNY
website (www.linnaeannewyork.org) will post updated information.


Andrew Rubenfeld
President, Linnaean Society of New York

[nysbirds-l] Seabirds are moving off shore Eastern Long Island

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
Forwarding message from my friend Nadir Souirgi.

"I'm at Flying Point Beach in South Hampton. I'm the only one here. Jaegers
closer to shore, but still distant. Tubenoses much farther out. Conditions
challenging. Photos not an option really."

Nadir have seen Parasitic Jaeger's, Jaeger species, Sooty shearwaters, and
2 possible Black-capped petrels.

If you're out East, today is the day to go seawatching.

good birding,

Anders Peltomaa

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Virginia Rail

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
This morning Debra Kriensky & Tod Winston of NYC Audubon found a Virginia
Rail on the lake shore (row boat lake) in Central Park. It has been seen by
many after their report. The rail is near the rustic bridge where the Gill
flows out into the lake. This is on the west side of the Ramble. Easiest
way to get to the location is to walk over Bow Bridge and then follow the
Western lake shore until you arrive at the rustic bridge. The rail has been
seen on the muddy area along the stream and lake.

Debra reached out to the Wild Bird Fund to check wether they have rehabbed
and released any Virginia rails recently, and the answer was that they have
not.

Great find out Debra and Tod and thanks for getting word out.

good birding,

Re:[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Virginia Rail

[Anders Peltomaa]

The Virginia Rail has relocated to the water hole by Swampy Pin Oak (aka
Stumpy Pin Oak). This is the enclosed area immediately East of Rustic
Shelter in the Ramble.

Steve Chang refound it there after it went missing from the previous
location.

[nysbirds-l] Unconfirmed report of Western Tanager, Manhattan

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
Unable to run out this afternoon myself, but I thought I'd get it out on
the email lists.
Hopefully someone can confirm this report to eBird.

http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32680773

"1 Western Tanager

Initially heard a familiar call that I was ready to pass off as a HOSP. But
it really sounded different, making a "pir-u-ket" call, and I ended finding
a medium-sized bird (smaller than a robin, larger than a Zonotrichia). It
was all yellow beneath, had a large pinkish bill, dark wings with visible
white WINGBARS. Photos obtained (albeit crappy but identifiable)."


good luck and please do share any sighting to the email lists, as well as
the local Twitter allert #birdcp if you use twitter,

Happy Thanksgiving,


Anders Peltomaa

[nysbirds-l] WESTERN TANAGER City Hall Park - YES

[Anders Peltomaa]

I just saw a report on the Manhattan Twitter alert that the Western Tanager
has been refound in City Hall Park this morning. That's all I know.

Right now I am not thankful for the Macy's TG Parade, it makes it
impossible to move in our neighborhood, and there is no chance for me to
skip away for a quick twitch this morning.

The Western Tanager stayed another night, and for that I am thankful.

[nysbirds-l] Linnaean Society of New York 2016-17 Speaker Program 12/13

[Anders Peltomaa]

Tuesday evening (December 13th, 2016) the Linnaean Society
of New York 2016-17 Speaker Program will feature two more interesting
presentations.


6:00 pm — Birds of Wood: An American Art Form – Eric Kaiser

Through a legacy of sculptures that celebrate the magnificence of nature’s
delicate grace, Eric Kaiser, an award-winning master carver, will offer a
glimpse into his world with an exploration of the art of bird carving.
European settlers adopted the innovation of the decoy from Native
Americans. From the primitive abstract forms made of wood by the pioneers,
bird carving as an art developed in America. Kaiser will take you on a trip
from the early days of market gunning and the colorful characters and
methods of the day, to the influence of some of our fledgling efforts at
conservation legislation. The popularity of early decoy competitions has
led to carvings being much more than hunting tools. Nowadays a number of
artists take part in creating beautiful realistic pieces of avian art in
the practice of this wonderful genre. Kaiser will follow this look into
yesterday by illustrating the magic of contemporary bird carving today. He
will share with you how he transforms a block of wood into a bird that
seems alive. Prepare to be amazed!

7:30 pm — Sea-level Rise: Causes, Effects, and Solutions – Mark Lowery
As the Earth’s system warms, New York City will experience the effects of
several climatic hazards, including extreme heat, increased precipitation
and riparian flooding, and sea-level rise. Sea-level rise greatly
exacerbated the damage and destruction caused by Superstorm Sandy, and
coastal flooding during all future storms, whether or not they are made
more severe by a warmer atmosphere, will be launched from higher coastal
waters. Mark Lowery will examine the global phenomena that cause the
world’s ocean waters to rise and the local factors that mean New York’s
tidal waters will rise even faster than the global average. Lowery will
describe the implications of rising waters for public infrastructure, human
health and safety, and natural systems, including wildlife, and he will
describe regulatory and nonregulatory approaches New York State is taking
to reduce the risks associated with sea-level rise. Mark Lowery is a
climate policy analyst in the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation’s Office of Climate Change. He led the effort to adopt New
York State’s sea-level rise projection regulation and is coordinating
implementation of the State Community Risk and Resiliency Act.

Re: [ebirdsnyc] Re: [nysbirds-l] Red-necked Grebe on CPk Reservoir probably is a bird released by WBF on Wednesday

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi Ethan and all,
I have checked with WBF in the past in regards to for instance Virginia
Rail sightings. Am hoping to work out an agreement on heads-up notices in
the near future. Chasing rare bird reports and celebrating successful
twitches, becomes sour experiences when one afterwards find out that it was
a recent rehab released bird.

[nysbirds-l] Ramble, Central Park NYC: Baker's Dozen of American Woodcocks

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
Between 6:20 and 7:15pm I rallied around the Ramble and found THIRTEEN
Woodcocks:
2 in the stream from Azalea to Oven,
5 in the Oven (thanks to Ed Gaillard for the tip of those two locations),
1 by rustic bridge where the Gill flows into Lake,
1 in the Upper Lobe,
4 by Triplets Bridge.

Woodcock BONANZA for a birder, not sure how good they themselves were
feeling...

My wife and I saw another one in our backyard earlier in the day, of which
I got a photo:

https://flic.kr/p/SMM8ua

good birding,

Anders Peltomaa
Manhattan

PS. Debra Kriensky of NYC Audubon wrote on Facebook:  "Between the Wild
Bird Fund, D-Bird, and calls to NYC Audubon, there were about 30 injured or
dead just today (that we know about). We've never seen anything like this!
Please be on the lookout this week for ones that might be injured and in
need of rehab/rescue!"

The line breaks in my email seem to have be have been messed up. I guess it
happened because I copied and pasted the link and messages from my
friends...

Here is the correct link to the photo if you want to see the Woodcock that
visited our Upper West Side backyard today.

[nysbirds-l] American Woodcock Event in NYC Parks.

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
This morning I counted 21 (yes Twenty-one!!) American Woodcocks on my
morning walk in Central Park, and I only covered the Ramble Area. In
addition to the Woodcocks I also found a Wilson's snipe.

Here is a link to my Flickr page with some photos:

[nysbirds-l] American Woodcock Event of March 15-17.

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
After the American Woodcock Bonanza of March 15-17, during which I and
others saw unheard of numbers in Central Park in New York County, I did
some research of the status of woodcocks in NY State, high counts, etc. A
short write-up, with photos, is now up on the Linnaean Society's website.

[nysbirds-l] Ramble, Central Park, New York, NY: Construction woes

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
FYI. If you a planning a trip to Central Park for Spring migration birding,
you should know that some areas of the Ramble will be closed for
construction. In the last week we have received updated information about
the progress and delays of the project.

See this page with the details of which parts are currently are closed, and
which parts that will be fenced off in the coming weeks.

http://linnaeannewyork.org/news/news/20170407-Ramble-construction-phase-2.html

During weekdays it is sometimes noisy with heavy machinery in use and this
will probably continue through the month of May.

If you want to make comments about this work, send them directly to the
Central Park Conservancy.

[nysbirds-l] Upcoming Linnaean Society of NY Program, Tuesday, May 9, 2017

[Anders Peltomaa]

On Tuesday evening, May 9 2017, the Linnaean Society of New York 2016-17
Speaker Program will feature this season's last two presentations.

6:00 pm — Project: Save the Choco – James Muchmore

Wildlife enthusiast and design conservationist James Muchmore will talk
about his journeys into the Chocó region of Ecuador and the Save the Chocó
project, which leverages his design, branding, and photography skill set to
support conservation efforts in the region. The Chocó region is made up of
rain forests, mountains, and coastal areas, running from southwest Panama
to northwest Ecuador. It is a biodiversity hotspot and the wettest region
of the planet. It harbors 9,000 species of vascular plants and is the most
floristically diverse region in the neotropics. In the Chocó there are
about 270 species of mammals, 210 species of reptiles, 500 species of birds
and 130 species of amphibians; many are endemic to the Chocó region. Join
Muchmore to learn more about the wildlife found in this region and the
efforts being taken to protect it.

7:30 pm — Polyglottal Passerines: Mimicry Is Not Just for Mockingbirds –
Richard Hoyer

While birding at Oregon’s Finley National Wildlife Refuge in his teens,
Rich Hoyer heard the most amazing thing—a Purple Finch incorporating sounds
of a California Scrub-Jay in its jumbled song—and thought he had discovered
something new, since such behavior wasn’t mentioned in any field guide.
Since then he’s been fascinated and intrigued by mimicry in birds,
collecting personal observations and recordings of the phenomenon. In this
audiovisual presentation, Hoyer will present examples of mimicry in
songbirds from throughout the Americas and share his enthusiasm for this
curious and often entertaining behavior. Hoyer currently leads tours to
such exciting locations as Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Costa Rica, Mexico,
Belize, and Jamaica, but also looks forward to his annual tours that
explore the beauty and diversity of his home state of Oregon.

The presentations are as usual in the Linder Theater on the first floor of
the American Museum of Natural History (enter at West 77th Street between
Central Park West and Columbus Avenue).

[nysbirds-l] Lawrence's warbler in Central Park, NYC

[Anders Peltomaa]

Via Central Park RBA on Twitter:
Deborah Allen reported a Lawrence's warbler at the north end of Central
Park an hour or so ago. The bird is now being seen by other observers just
north of the Pool, south of the Great Hill.
Good luck if you go out and try to see this very cool warbler hybrid. It
won't add a species to your list, but hybrids are interesting  and rare
encounters.

[nysbirds-l] Upcoming Linnaean Society of NY Program, Tuesday, November 14, 2017

[Anders Peltomaa]

New York State Birders,


On Tuesday evening, November 14, 2017, the Linnaean Society of New York
2017-18 Speaker Program will include two exciting presentations, plus an
impromptu “show and tell” in the break between the scheduled presentations
by Paul Sweet. The topic of Dr. Sweet’s show and tell will be Corn Crakes
in NY State and the specimens in the collection of AMNH. Crex crex...



6:00 pm – Birdmania: A Remarkable Passion for Birds – Bernd Brunner


In his riveting book (published in October 2017), Brunner explores some
fascinating stories of people who devoted their lives to birds. He provides
a unique perspective on why we are attracted to birds and how we encounter
and describe them, and yields insights into the long and convoluted history
of a passion. Along the way, Bernd Brunner touches upon the history of
ornithology. In his presentation, accompanied by vintage artwork, he will
focus on some not-so-well-known bird lovers and provide vivid proof that
people who love birds, whether they are amateurs or professionals, are as
captivating and varied as the birds that give flight to their dreams.



7:30 pm – Chimney Swifts and People: Past, Present and Future – John Connors


In 1682 a swift was found nesting for the first time in a chimney at a
colonist’s cabin in Maine. This event forever changed the relationship
between this species and people. From the journals of early explorers
through the efforts of the largest all-volunteer research project to study
the migration of a single species of bird, to Jesuit missionaries in a
far-off land, it’s a remarkable story. And it’s not over: the next chapter
will be written by us. John Connors, a Long Island native who currently
manages the Chimney Swift Research Project with Audubon and the North
Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, will share his experiences and
research on this incredible, high-flying species.


The presentations are as usual in the Linder Theater on the first floor of
the American Museum of Natural History (enter at West 77th Street between
Central Park West and Columbus Avenue).

There is an excellent report in the “Kingbird”, Vol. 52 I, p 2-7,  March
2002.   Go to the New York State Ornithological association  web site and
look under records and resources  for Publications, then  look under
Kingbird archives.  All the Kingbird Issues (except for recent ones) are
available on line.



Doug Futuyma and John Fritz give a description of the Jones Beach bird and
a point by point analysis of each and every  other conflicting bird.  They
did all the work and culled all the info from literature and experts and
presented their findings.

You don’t need any books after viewing this and looking at Deborah Allen’s
excellent photos.

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,

A video of Paul Sweet’s @pablo_dulce impromptu “show and tell” at the
November meeting of the Linnaean Society of New York is now online on the
society’s website. On the same page you can also find an online version of
Paul’s slideshow, plus photos of the five NY specimens in the museum
collection and brilliant photos of the Cedar Beach Corn Crake by Sean Sime
and Peter Post.

[nysbirds-l] Hammond's NO :(

[Anders Peltomaa]

I and a small group of birders, mostly out-of-towners have spent the
morning combing the Ramble. I searched from the slope above the Boathouse
garbage containers (where the Pac-slope spent time, TWO years ago) and over
to the Upper Lobe.

It may have expanded its range and wandered off to a different patch of the
park, or we we just unlucky and it's still in the Ramble.

Good luck if you go out and search.

Re: [ebirdsnyc] Re: [nysbirds-l] Ramble Map with Named Locations

[Anders Peltomaa]

There are several Holly trees. The one that was referred to is one of the
two hollies near the Gill Overlook.
The Hammond’s has also visited the Holly tree near Azalea Pond.

Good luck!

[nysbirds-l] HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER - YES. THURSDAY 12/7

[Anders Peltomaa]

I just saw the Flycatcher at Swampy Pin Oak. It moved through the shrubs
from South to North, as I sat on a bench enjoying a cup of coffee. The bird
may have continued towards Azalea.

Hoping it hangs around a few more days. CBC count week begins next
Thursday...

[nysbirds-l] Linnaean Society meetings Tuesday 12/12

[Anders Peltomaa]

6:00 pm – America’s Snake: The Rise and Fall of the Timber Rattlesnake –
Ted Levin

Eastern Timber Rattlesnake, 2009 (Digital Art) © Barbara Saunders
Having spent more than seven years studying both the Timber Rattlesnake
(Crotalus horridus) and snake advocates, former Bronx zoologist and nature
writer Ted Levin will present a portrait of the snake, its place in
America’s history—and of the heroic efforts to protect it against habitat
loss, climate change, and the human tendency to kill whatever we fear.
Reading from his new book America’s Snake: The Rise and Fall of the Timber
Rattlesnake, Levin discusses the joys and frustrations of befriending a
venomous reptile. He takes us from labs where the secrets of the snake’s
evolutionary history are being unlocked to far-flung habitats in locations
that are fiercely protected by biologists and dedicated amateur
herpetologists.
7:30 pm – My Life with Cranes – George Archibald

Sandhill Cranes in Flight, 2006 (Digital Art) © Barbara Saunders
Hear Dr. George Archibald, Co-founder of the International Crane
Foundation, tell his story beginning with the early years, when dreaming
big depended on taking risks and the audacity to follow his visionary path.
Over the past 50 years, George Archibald’s life has been dedicated to the
study and conservation of endangered cranes, and has led him to some of the
most remote areas on five continents and to meetings with Indira Ghandi,
the Emperor of Japan, and other world leaders. George Archibald’s message
of hope and encouragement helps others live their own versions of dream and
action. The beauty and charisma of cranes, time and again, have brought
people together because they are symbolic ambassadors of harmony and peace,
flying free across many borders and inspiring people around the world to
work together to protect our natural treasures

Re: [nysbirds-l] OCWA or MGWA

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi Cesar,
Thanks for sharing the photos.
Interesting bird. When I saw the photos I thought OCWA, because of the
structure and overall feeling I got.
Great find and save for your CBC Count.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Missing posts?

[Anders Peltomaa]

In my gmail I had to set up a filter that never send emails from
nysbirds-l@cornell.edu to the spam/trash folder.
Before I figured that out I was missing more than half of the emails.

In Gmail:
1. Click on the little cog wheel icon
2. Click Settings
3. Click on Filters and Blocked addresses
4. Create a filter. Voila!

[nysbirds-l] Linnaean Society Presentations, Tuesday April 10.

[Anders Peltomaa]

Mark your calendars!

This coming Tuesday, April 10 the monthly meeting of the Linnaean Society
of New York offers two interesting and exciting presentations:

6:00 pm – Citizen Science in the Information Age: Improving the Quality and
Usefulness of Crowd-sourced Datasets – Shaibal Mitra

Digital technology has revolutionized the ways in which natural history
observations are collected and shared. Public participation has been vastly
expanded, and remarkable advances have been achieved for historically
difficult questions regarding the distribution and abundance of wild
organisms. At the same time, observers' practices have been changing
rapidly, for many reasons, both intended and unintended, with a wide range
of consequences for data quality and usefulness. Shai Mitra, an
evolutionary biologist, will critique several areas in which the
relationships between methods and results have become confused, such as the
selection of sampling sites, distance and duration of effort, completeness
of samples, independence of samples, and treatment of taxa above and below
the species level. Mitra will show that current practices—including some
that have been strongly advocated—are yielding negative consequences for
data quality and overall usefulness, and will propose several simple
improvements.

7:30 pm – Birding for Conservation in Colombia – Alvaro Jaramillo

Many birders have heard that Colombia is the most bird-rich nation on
Earth! So why is it not full of birders? It’s on an incredible upswing,
coming out of a decades-long conflict, political as well as the illegal
drug trade. Those days are becoming history. The country has gone through a
sharp turnaround turnaround in regards to travelers’ safety. The birding is
astounding, and there are some wonderfully unique spots to visit. Among
these is the Santa Marta mountain range, separate from the Andes, that has
an incredible level of endemism—species that cannot be found anywhere else
on Earth. Santa Marta, the nearby dry forests, the coastal desert, and the
Perijá Mountains to the east make northern Colombia an amazing way to begin
to dip your toes in the unbelievable birdlife of this country. Then there
are the three different ranges of the Andes, and valleys rich with
endemics. Alvaro Jaramillo has been involved in a large project with
National Audubon over the last couple of years that aims to promote
conservation through economic development. How? Well, by creating the
infrastructure and guide training to increase birding tourism in the area.
When people earn a living from birding, they will preserve the birds and
habitat. Come learn about this innovative program, and discover the
richness of birds and birding in Colombia.

Where:
The Linnaean Society of New York meets on the second Tuesday of each month
from September through May, except March, in the Linder Theater on the
first floor of the American Museum of Natural History (enter at West 77th
Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue).

All welcome!

good birding,

Anders Peltomaa
Linnaean Society of New York

[nysbirds-l] Tuesday May 8th, Linnean Society of New York Presentations

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
On Tuesday May 8th the Linnean Society of New York will finish the 2017-18
program season with two exciting presentations:

*6:00 pm -  Wild Green Heart - Ken Chaya*



Central Park plays host to a wide diversity of life forms, including birds,
trees, wildflowers, and insects. While many residents and visitors alike
enjoy the park as a place of active recreation and passive relaxation, it
is the birders and botanists, entomologists, urban naturalists, and nature
lovers who - through their observations and study - deeply engage with the
Park as a living green space. Through photography and illustration, Ken
Chaya will highlight some of the magnificent landscape and local flora and
fauna that can be found in Central Park.



*7:30 pm - Studying Birds in the Context of the Annual Cycle: Carry-over
Effects and Seasonal Interactions – Peter Marra*



Migration is one of the most engaging phenomena of the animal world and one
that is epitomized by birds. Migratory birds spend different parts of the
annual cycle in geographically disparate places. The conditions and
selective pressures during each period are likely to affect individual
performance during subsequent periods. This simple fact presents us with
considerable obstacles to understanding how agents of global change (i.e.,
climate, land use) will influence the ecology, evolution, and conservation
of migratory birds. Such interseasonal effects are poorly understood within
most avian migration systems, in large part because it has been difficult
to follow individuals and specific populations year-round (i.e., migratory
connectivity). In addition, for most species there exists an extreme
research bias toward breeding over nonbreeding season biology. Furthermore,
the limiting factors and regulatory mechanisms that determine abundance
remain poorly understood for most bird species. Pete Marra, Director of the
Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, uses long-term research on redstarts in
Jamaica to show how conditions on wintering grounds, such as climate and
habitat, affect both arrival time and body condition of individual birds on
breeding areas, and how these parameters are likely to have important
consequences for breeding events and annual survival. Understanding how
global change will influence migratory organisms requires the study of
biological phenomena in the context of the entire annual cycle.

As usual the presentations will be in the Linder Theater on the first floor
of the American Museum of Natural History (enter at West 77th Street
between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue).

[nysbirds-l] Re: [nysbirds-l] Kirtland’s Warbler?

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi Fred and all,
I learnt today that the Kirtland's Warbler was last seen just after 10am
yesterday. David Krauss told me that he had seen it fly up heading west
towards the western perimeter of the park, and to him it appeared as it
kept going...

So now it has been 24 hours plus, since the last sighting. If birders want
to put in time searching it might be worthwhile to spend some time in
Riverside Park around 96th Street and there around.

There were still plenty of birds in the park today. Multiple of jewels such
as Cape May, Blackburnian and Bay-breasted warblers. The highlight among
the wood warblers for me today was a CERULEAN near the West 77th Street
entrance that gave a bunch of birders eye level views, while it was SINGING
its heart out.
Can't imagine a better start on a Monday morning.

[nysbirds-l] Ramble birding, Central Park, NYC

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
A BICKNELL'S THRUSH is continuing in the area immediately to the North of
the feeders in the Ramble. It was heard singing multiple times this morning
by several birders on this rainy morning. Patience required.

On another note of interest.
Tom Perlman found both a PROTHONOTARY and KENTUCKY WARBLER in Madison
Square Park.

Bad weather =Good birds,

Re: [nysbirds-l] Rufous Hummingbird, NYC 12/15 - photos now uploaded

[Anders Peltomaa]

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.

Re: [nysbirds-l] More Manhattan Selasphorus pics....

[Anders Peltomaa]

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,

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan, Rufous Hummingbird continuing at AMNH

[Anders Peltomaa]

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.  Photos can be seen here.

He has some wonderful captures of the hummer, including two-three showing
it spreading its tail feathers - enjoy.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan: Rufous Hummingbird and Barred Owl

[Anders Peltomaa]

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,

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC - Eastern Phoebe

[Anders Peltomaa]

This morning during the first real snowfall for the year I found an Eastern
Phoebe at the Gill in the Ramble area. I'd guess it is the same bird that
we saw hanging around the island on Turtle Pond earlier this winter and
that Phil Jeffrey found by the Castle on New Year's Day.

I've posted a photo of it here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/landp/6736818185/in/photostream

and I got a short video clip of it that's here:

[nysbirds-l] Riverside Park, NYC: Cackling Goose - NO

[Anders Peltomaa]

This morning I went down to Riverside Park to check for the Cackling Goose
found yesterday late afternoon by Dale Dancis and Michael Bonifanti. I
walked through the area from 6:45 - 7:15am and searched the water and grass
fields between W 72nd Street running track and the ball fields around W
63-64 Streets. There were about 20 Canada Goose, most on the water and a
few on the ballfields to the south, but alas no Cackling Goose.

good luck if you go,

Anders Peltomaa
Manhattan

Here what Michael posted on ebirdsnyc yesterday evening:

"Dale Dancis found, and we both observed a Cackling Goose feeding on the
children's soccer lawn just north of the West 70th Street pier.It was with
two
Canada Geese at about 5:30 to 5:45 PM Thursday. The birds were previously
in the
water next to the pier when Dale first saw them."

[nysbirds-l] Riverside Park, NYC: Cackling Goose - Yes

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
After my earlier report I received an email from Tom Fiore. He wrote that
he saw a small flock of Canada Goose fly in from the river to the grass
field at the south end @ 8:30am - and the Cackling Goose was in that flock.
Again, work interferes with birding...

[nysbirds-l] Ferd's Bog and Shallow Lake Trail

[Anders Peltomaa]

Greetings all,
Today, on my first visit to these two locations I saw:

Ferd's Bog:
1 Black-backed Woodpecker
2 Gray Jay
2 Golden-crowned Kinglets

heard only:
- White-winged Crossbill
- Evening Grosbeak (I spent time on trying to find and photograph it, but was
not successful. It could have been my first...)

- Common Raven

and there were of course also many Black-capped Chickadees and Pine Siskins.

The Black-backed Woodpecker and one of the Gray Jays were very
cooperative and even posed in the same tree for a while:

Along the Shallow Lake Trail:

1 White-winged Crossbill (out in the open in a dead pine right by the three log
bridge - great views)

1 Ruffed Grouse (flushed next to the trail about 1/4 mile from the Lake)

On the Lower Pond there was one male Ring-billed Duck.

While driving in I saw one Pileated Woodpecker flying over Unca's Road and two
Ruffed Grouse crossed the road in front of me.


All in all a beautiful, especially for me - a city dweller visiting the North
for a few days.

[nysbirds-l] NYNYBIRD - text alert system for New York, NY (Manhattan)

[Anders Peltomaa]

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] Central Park: Kentucky Warbler Photo

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hello all,
I got one decent photo of the Kentucky Warbler, found by Anthony Collerton
today in Shakespeare Garden, Central Park. After the first alert I ventured
out and didn't see it. Later in the in the afternoon, another alert came
through on NYNYBIRD and I dropped what I was doing and went out again, and
then finally I got the prize bird (this has been a Nemesis bird for me).
Thanks to Anthony for promptly getting the word out.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/landp/7120245175/in/photostream

It was still in the same area in the late afternoon, so good luck if you
try tomorrow morning,

Re:[nysbirds-l] Kentucky W's, Grasshopper Sparrow, Manhattan, NYC 5/3

[Anders Peltomaa]

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] American White Pelican - yes

[Anders Peltomaa]

The bird has now moved from the sandbar where AN found it preening. It's is
now on the water half way down the West side swimming towards the South
end. May soon come down to the blind. Very nice views from the East site
above the Raunt.

Re:[nysbirds-l] American White Pelican - yes

[Anders Peltomaa]

The Pelican is still on the water hugging the West side shore. The right
place to be now is on the east side, on the long beach North of the Raunt.

You will not be able to see it from the shore flats accessible from the NW
entrance right now.

[nysbirds-l] Photo and video of the Grand Prize bird today: American White Pelican, JBWR

[Anders Peltomaa]

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,

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] CP Crossbills Refound

[Anders Peltomaa]

A flock of Red Crossbills are feeding in the conifers by Shakespeare
Garden, Central Park. Great views from the round balcony. Photographs
obtained. Thanks to Jacob for his early morning report, it encouraged me to
spend the morning checking conifer stands.

Good birding,

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, New York City: Red Crossbills bonanza day

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hello all,
Today was an incredible day. After that I met and talked to Jacob Drucker
around 8am and heard about his two-second flash of Red Crossbills flying
over-head (at 6.30am) I made RECR the target of my morning walk. I checked
up on the conifer stands on the east side of the Ramble (Cypress Hill), the
pines south of Turtle Pond, and then at about 9:45am I struck gold when I
found a flock of 8+ Red Crossbills in flight over Shakespeare Garden.

I first heard heard them and then got visual contact for long enough to get
a picture of birds that fitted RECR. The birds flew south across 81st
Street transverse (I feared they were gone), but luckily they returned
after a minute or so to feed in the Hemlock Trees. It was a mixed flock of
males and females. Once I got the word out by ways of a call to Jacob
Drucker, a NYNYBIRD alert and a post to ebirdsnyc, I was over the next two
hours joined by an ever growing group of birders. Many got to enjoy seeing
them as they stayed in and around the Hemlock Trees for several hours during
the day. Maybe they are still there?

Sound recording:
http://soundcloud.com/anders-peltomaa/red-crossbills-central-park

(Type 3 later confirmed by Andrew Farnsworth and Matthew A. Young, of
Cornell Lab of Ornithology)

Photos here :

Manhattan is great birding,


Anders Peltomaa


PS. There were no records in ebird at all for New York County. A local
longtime birder (PP) remembered having seen RECR in Central Park back in
the 1950's. Does anyone have historical records of sightings in New York
county (i.e. Manhattan). Emails off the list would be much welcome.
