[nysbirds-l] LeConte’s Sparrow - Staten Island

[Jeffrey Ritter]

The LeConte’s Sparrow continues at Conference House Park at the southern tip of 
Staten Island. Seen well by four observers when the bird perched for a few 
minutes in a small tree. 

The bird is in a small field just off the beach near a red metal pole and a 
garbage can. I entered the park from Massachusetts Ave and walked south on a 
paved road and turned right after a few hundred yards.

[nysbirds-l] Kentucky Warbler - Alley Pond Park, Queens - details

[Jeffrey Ritter]

The Kentucky is still being heard singing from the east-west trail just north 
of Decodon Pond near the tree with the large burl. Of course the bird moves 
around the area but has almost entirely been on the north side of the path. It 
was fairly cooperative for this species when I was in park earlier.  Many other 
migrants in this part of the park including Worm-eating, Blue-winged, Prairie, 
Magnolia warblers, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Baltimore Oriole, Great-crested 
Flycatcher and more.

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park, Queens

[Jeffrey Ritter]

There was an uptick in the numbers and variety at Alley Pond this morning. 
Highlights inluded two, possibly three PHILADELPIHA VIREOS, BLUE-HEADED VIREO, 
a likely YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER. Warblers included TENNESSEE, BLACKPOLL and 
BLACKBURNIAN and others.

The Phillies were in the trees along the field edge north of the handball 
courts where they appear almost every Septmber.

[nysbirds-l] Western Grebe - Sea Cliff, L.I.

[Jeffrey Ritter]

I stopped at Sea Cliff about 1PM today to check for the previously reported 
Black Guillemot at the intersection of Cliffway and the Blvd. I did not see the 
Guillemot but instead a large grebe caught my eye. In my bins in back light I 
was thinking it was a Red-necked Grebe. When I got my scope on it I realized 
the bird was a WESTERN GREBE. I took a few poor digi-scoped pictures before the 
bird took off and flew northwest towards Sands Point. I had distant scope views 
of it across the bay but I lost track of the bird and couldn't relocate it. Sea 
Cliff and the beach at Sands Point might both be worth checking for this bird 
in the coming days.

Happy New Year to all!

[nysbirds-l] Common Linnet - Kissena Park

[Jeffrey Ritter]

I am providing a link to photos of the Common Linnet that I took on Sunday, 
Nov. 10 in the Kissena Corridor in Queens. This bird was first sighted by Seth 
Ausubel in October. I found it in a mixed flock of sparrows and finches.

[nysbirds-l] Barrows Goldeneye - Jamaica Bay W.R.

[Jeffrey Ritter]

I observed  a drake BARROWS GOLDENEYE on a raft of approximately 100  
COMMON GOLDENEYE on the West Pond at Jamaica Bay early this morning.


I was aware that a BARROWS was around Jamaica Bay again this winter  
since the Brooklyn Christmas Count when it was spotted by Doug Gochfeld.


I arrived at the breach along the south dike about 7:10 in the half  
light. Although some Goldeneye were already in the air when I  
arrived, the BARROWS stayed put until about 7:30 affording me  
repeated good scope views.


Good luck if you go!

[nysbirds-l] Huntington Harbor Tufted Duck & Kissena Park

[Jeffrey Ritter]

The TUFTED DUCK swam out from the docks where it has been spending  
recent nights around 7AM this morning.  I first viewed the bird  
through the chain link fence at the north end of the town parking  
area. The bird remained in good view in the harbor for approximately  
20 minutes before disappearing behind a docked boat.


Later, back in Queens, I stopped at Kissena Corridor and was able to  
find both the previously reported INDIGO BUNTING and ORANGE-CROWNED  
WARBLER.

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park Virginia's Warbler update

[Jeffrey Ritter]

Just some more detail on Eric Miller's sighting of the Virginia's Warbler 
yesterday. At about 3:15 yesterday afternoon, Eric and I heard three soft chip 
notes low in the understory near a tangle of downed tree limbs at the spot 
Steve Walter describes below.

The chip notes sounded promising and we began to search the area. Eric saw the 
bird a minute or so later when it turned over a leaf on the forest floor. He 
got a good look of its upper body from approximately 25 feet away. As he 
related to me later, the bird has a gray back and a whitish breast with yellow 
spot on the upper breast. The most notable field mark is a bold eye ring. 
Unfortunately, I did not see the bird. My view may have been blocked by the 
understory plants and the bird was not moving. When Eric let down his bins to 
better describe where I should look, the bird disappeared.

This morning, as of 9:30 when I left the park, the bird had not been re-found 
despite the efforts of a number of good birders. As Steve said in his post, 
this is a very difficult bird to find. Hopefully, it will present itself again, 
this time long enough for a photo to be obtained.

Eric Miller (aka the boy who cried wolf) called late today to say that he 
re-found the Alley Pond Park Virginia's Warbler (aka needle in a haystack). I 
quickly went to join him and Jeff Ritter, only to get the predictable result. 
This is a tough bird. Today's sighting was a few hundred yards away. Enter the 
park at 76th Avenue and Cloverdale Blvd., this time going left. Wind around the 
stone wall on the left to a spot just past a stack of smaller tree limbs. Of 
course, by tomorrow it could be somewhere else. It's worth a look in the 
plantings along Cloverdale Blvd. (where you enter the park), as they did 
attract a Parula later on.

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park - Spring Migrant

[Jeffrey Ritter]

Despite the dreary weather, a few hours in Alley Pond Park in Queens  
this afternoon produced a nice variety of birds. The hot spot was the  
area around Turtle, Decadon and Lilly Pad Ponds. Most of the  
following were observed in that area of the park:

Pine Warbler (numerous)
Eastern Phoebe (numerous)
Palm Warbler (1)
Hermit Thrush (1)
Brown Creeper (1)
Golden-crowned Kinglet (several)
Blue Gray Gnatcatcher
American Goldfinch (small flock)
Rusty Blackbird (1 or 2)
Field Sparrow (1)

I also stopped at the Alley Pond Environmental Center (APEC) on  
Northern Blvd to check for a Louisiana Waterthrush reported by Andrew  
Baksh this afternoon. Although I observed this bird yesterday evening  
after Eric Miller mentioned that he had found it at the pond a short  
distance west of APEC, I was unable to find it again at 4:30 PM. The  
bird may still be around though. I did see a second Palm Warbler at  
the pond and two Kildeer at the APEC parking lot.

[nysbirds-l] Kissena Park, Queens - September 25

[Jeffrey Ritter]

This is a late follow-up on Donna Schulman's report from yesterday to  
provide a more complete tally of the excellent birding at Kissena  
Park yesterday. As good as Saturday's birding was, yesterday was  
better. The numbers of flycatchers particularly Eastern Phoebes was  
impressive.

A total of 19 species of warblers were seen yesterday including  
Connecticut and Mourning, 22 species seen on Saturday and Sunday  
combined. (A Worm-eating Warbler, Chestnut-sided Warbler and Golden- 
winged Warbler found by Eric Miller earlier in the week makes for a  
total to 24 warbler species for Kissena for the week.) Of the many  
highlights this weekend, I found particularly rewarding the  
opportunity to observe both immature Mourning and Connecticut  
Warblers in close succession.

Most birders concentrated their efforts on the Kissena corridor in  
the area east of the community gardens and west of the artificial  
turf football field. This is a fairly open area interspersed with  
trees which was replanted with tree saplings and a variety of other  
plants by the NYC Parks Dept. last year.

In addition to the species listed below there was a "Budgie" parakeet  
mixing with a flock of House Sparrows.

Birders present (that I am know of) included Eric Miller, Peter  
Reisfeld, Donna Schulman, Coleen & Bob Veltri, Ian Resnick, Arie  
Gilbert, Chuck Beilman, Lou Widerka, Mike Ritchie, Corey Finger,  
Michael McBrien & father, Karlo & Alison Mirth and Seth Ausubel.

The following is a composite report of sightings.

CONNECTICUT WARBLER (2, 1 immature, likely the same individual seen  
Saturday, and a second individual that others described as an adult)
MOURNING WARBLER (1 immature found by Eric Miller)

[nysbirds-l] Warner Island, Shinecock Bay, L.I. - September 3

[Jeffrey Ritter]

On Saturday, September 3, I accompanied a friend on his small boat on  
the east end of Shinecock Bay to do a bit of exploring. It  was a  
breezy day and the water was quite choppy. This made it difficult to  
bird while the boat was in motion. We were able to land on Warner  
Island which is a short distance east of the Ponquoge Bridge around  
1-2 PM, just after high tide. Here the birding was rewarding. I  
observed a variety of birds  including SANDWICH TERN (2), ROYAL TERN  
(6), COMMON TERN, MARBLED GOTWIT (2), SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER (2),  
RUDDY TURNSTONE, AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHER, BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER,  
SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER, LEAST SANDPIPER.  Interesting that some  
Sandwich Terns are still hanging around the area a week after Irene.


I also saw a SANDWICH TERN yesterday on the beach at Cape May, NJ,  
this one also among a flock of ROYAL TERNS. For those not following  
the NJ list, a Brown Booby continues near Cape May at Jarvis Bay. The  
views from land were distant but clear and satisfying nonetheless. A  
spotting scope is helpful.

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond & Kissena Parks, Queens - CT Warbler and more

[Jeffrey Ritter]

After a slow start from 7AM to 9AM in Alley Pond this morning, the mid-morning 
activity was good. Notable species included Winter Wren, Brown Creeper, 
Red-breasted Nuthatch, Dark-eyed Junco, Cape May Warbler, Blue-headed Vireo and 
another Philadelphia Vireo. Its been a great September for Philly V's at least 
in Alley Pond. Also good numbers of both Kinglets. These birds seen with Eric 
Miller, Bob and Coleen Veltri, and Howie.

Around noon, I tried the asphalt path that goes through the Long Island 
Expressway/Cross Island Parkway interchange starting at Douglaston Parkway 
(across from the shopping mall). I observed a Connecticut Warbler just north of 
the northernmost ramp where the asphalt path turns left down into the east 
Alley marsh.  The bird appeared to be an immature. I got a brief but good look 
at the bird at the top of the bushes on the left side of the path opposite a 
fenced enclosure before it disappeared into the brush. I was unable to find the 
bird again over the next half hour and when I returned a couple of hours later.

Birds observed this afternoon in Kissena Park with Eric Miller and Coleen 
Veltri included Prairie Warbler and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park

[Jeffrey Ritter]

Eric Miller and I birded Alley Pond Park this morning and between us found 
eighteen warbler and four vireo species. Eric had a brief look at a 
Yellow-breasted Chat at the "Acadian" kettle hole while I got the first looks 
in the early morning sun at Tennessee, Bay-breasted and Cape May Warblers in 
the Devil's Walking Stick just north of Little Alley Pond.

There were not only warblers in the trees. A Great Blue Heron perched for a 
couple of minutes above me in a tree on the path near Little Alley Pond.

A little later, Eric and I saw the immature Bay-breasted in the Devil's Walking 
Stick and were able to get very good views this morning to confirm the i.d. In 
addition Eric and I got great views of Cape May, Tennessee and Blackburnian. 
Later, in another area of the park we got an excellent look at an immature 
Blackpoll, nice to compare with the Bay-breasted.

A walk along the asphalt path on the east side of the park near the Cross 
Island Parkway (and some sphishing) produced looks at two Canada Warblers, a 
second male Cape May and a Philadelphia Vireo. The Philadelphia was a drab bird 
without much yellow. The small bill,  and tail and compact shape made the bird 
made for a clear i.d.

Warbling Vireo and a single Yellow-throated Vireo were singing. Northern Parula 
was easily the most abundant warbler species.

Did not get a chance to post yesterday, but many of the same species were 
present. Yesterday, Eric also got on a Mourning Warbler which I also had a 
brief unsatisfying look.

Here's the list of notable species:

Warblers:
Blackburnian
Cape May
Bay-breasted
Tennessee
Black-throated Blue
Black-throated Green
Ovenbird
Northern Parula
Chestnut-sided
American Redstart
Magnolia
Black and White
Nashville
Canada
Blackpoll
Common Yellowthroat
Northern Waterthrush
Yellow-breasted Chat

Vireos:
Red-eyed
Warbling
Yellow-throated
Philadelphia

Thrushes:
Wood
Veery

Herons:
Little Blue
Great Blue
Green

Others:
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Empid. Flycatcher (perhaps Least)
Eastern Wood Pewee

[nysbirds-l] Doodletown - Kentucky Warbler and more

[Jeffrey Ritter]

There was a Kentucky Warbler in Doodletown this morning. I found the bird a 
hundred yards or so up Pleasant Valley Rd. from its start at the T intersection 
with Doodletown Rd. I heard it singing as soon as I made the left turn onto 
Pleasant Valley Rd. and saw it on both sides of the road. Around noon, I heard 
it singing fairly deep into the brush on the east side of the road. 

Other highlights included three Pileated Woodpeckers at Herbert Cemetery. I was 
within a hundred feet of the three and had prolonged, unobstructed looks. They 
seemed oblivious to my presence. There was a male and female and, I believe, a 
juvenile. 

There was also at one and perhaps two Worm-eating Warblers on Lemon Rd. up the 
hill from the reservoir. I have had them many times further up on Pleasant 
Valley Rd., but not in that area.

If you are unfamiliar with the place names that I've mentioned there are now 
maps at various locations in Doodletown showing the locations of different 
roads, house foundations, etc.

With the regular Doodletown breeders as well, I had a great morning of birding.

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park - Mourning Warbler

[Jeffrey Ritter]

I got a good look at a singing Mourning Warbler early this morning. The bird 
was just west of the Kaplan Trail near the junction with the Blue blazed trail 
where it heads east to Lily Pad Pond. The Mourning was seen by others later in 
the morning but was not heard or seen when a number of us checked for it at 
mid-day.

Thanks to Ken Feustel for reporting this bird yesterday.

Other highlights in Alley this morning include Worm-eating and Hooded Warblers.

[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond Park - Mourning Warbler

[Jeffrey Ritter]

I got a good look at a singing Mourning Warbler early this morning. The bird 
was just west of the Kaplan Trail near the junction with the Blue blazed trail 
where it heads east to Lily Pad Pond. The Mourning was seen by others later in 
the morning but was not heard or seen when a number of us checked for it at 
mid-day.

Thanks to Ken Feustel for reporting this bird yesterday.

Other highlights in Alley this morning include Worm-eating and Hooded Warblers.

were at least five or so Blackburnian Warblers scattered around the
Ramble. Other highlights:

Bay-breasted Warbler (the Point)
Wilson's Warbler (the Point)
Cape May Warbler (singing in a large oak on Cherry Hill with brief
views)

[nysbirds-l] Staten Island Summer Tanager and other notable birds

[Jeffrey Ritter]

Eric Miller, Gary Straus and I travelled to Staten Island this morning to look 
for the Summer Tanager and other birds reported in recent days. 

We were weren't disappointed.

The Summer Tanager and Red-headed Woodpecker were both present again at Clove 
Lakes Park. We found the Summer Tanager near the stream just north of the white 
stone bridge, the second bridge north of Martling Ave. Other birds present in 
the same area were 3-4 Baltimore Orioles, a Pine Warbler, an Orange-crowned 
Warbler, a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, both Red-breasted and White-breasted 
Nutchatches and a Brown Creeper.

The Red-headed Woodpecker was in the trees between a clearing and the stream 
just east of Brookside Ave. near the intersection with Kingsley Ave.

>From Clove Lakes we then proceeded to a private house near Wagner College 
>where we observed the Rufous Hummingbird that has been present since late 
>October.
