[nysbirds-l] Hundreds of warblers across Governors Island

[Jonathan Perez]

Not quite a “fall out” 

 But there were warblers every five feet, this afternoon  the majority included 
Palm Warblers,  but also Black and White Magnolia Pine, Blackburnian, Northern 
Parula, and migrating white throated sparrows - who I didn’t see in bulk the 
other week.

The most interesting species was a suspected American Pipit in the construction 
on the east coast of Governors, noticeably larger and hunting with the warblers.

Because I didn’t have a photo I couldn’t snap it.

[nysbirds-l] Red Headed Woodpecker in Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn mid day

[Jonathan Perez]

at 12:45, read a report online of a red-headed woodpecker ran over to fort 
Greene park. at first I saw only a red-bellied by the tennis park and thought 
the report only referred to the red bellied. Then a grey squirrel flushed out 
high in a dead beach above the tennis court, The red-headed woodpecker.

It appeared in the dead trees over the tennis court. It was markedly smaller 
and different than the red bellied woodpecker. It had a bright scarlet red head 
white window on wings and rump, black tail, white belly  breast and black wings 
with white windows.

Couldn’t locate after as it flew east.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Brooklyn & Queens weekend migration and rarities

[Jonathan Perez]

Agree with Doug.

I also had a Lapland longspur today, but a bit farther north, in croton point

many birds flying over.

[nysbirds-l] Orchard oriole female- first fall

[Jonathan Perez]

I had my first orchard oriole of the fall migration. I was running the Bronx 
River parkway  halfway between crest wood and bronxville.

The bird had a distinctive two-note “chuck” and white edged feathers on the 
wing bars, olive upper parts and yellow underparts. I like a Baltimore Oriole, 
it lacked any bright orange, black hood, and no orange on chest.

Yellow overall and larger- I at first thought it was a chat. But it became 
apparent it was a female orchard oriole, also the long down curved bill. 

Nothing super special, but nice to see a migratory bird again.

[nysbirds-l] Orchard oriole female- first fall

[Jonathan Perez]

I had my first orchard oriole of the fall migration. I was running the Bronx 
River parkway  halfway between crest wood and bronxville.

The bird had a distinctive two-note “chuck” and white edged feathers on the 
wing bars, olive upper parts and yellow underparts. I like a Baltimore Oriole, 
it lacked any bright orange, black hood, and no orange on chest.

Yellow overall and larger- I at first thought it was a chat. But it became 
apparent it was a female orchard oriole, also the long down curved bill. 

Nothing super special, but nice to see a migratory bird again.

[nysbirds-l] Orchard Oriole Pier 1 immature Male Brooklyn Bridge Park, 3:30pm

[Jonathan Perez]

This afternoon right after the passing severe thunderclap,  around 3:30 I had 
an Orchard Oriole first-year male hopping and calling around the meridian 
marshy area in Pier One, Brooklyn Bridge Park. Thank you David Barrett for 
helping with the remote ID.

I’ve posted photos (digiscoped) to ebird as I was on my run. Bright yellow 
breast, black head and nape, white wing patches. Rattling a few times and 
oriole-like whistling.

This bird was still there until 4:30 very active and calling.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Central Park New Arrivals

[Jonathan Perez]

Good to see new arrivals today in CP.

There was a male Baltimore Oriole confirmed by three other birders near Oak 
Bridge, a Black and White Warbler, Yellow Rumped Warbler in the ramble and 
Northern Waterthrush.

Fly by- Great blue heron was a pleasant sight. A red tail had nesting materials 
as well - taking care of business.


Good birding

[nysbirds-l] Warbling Vireo prospect park, Brooklyn

[Jonathan Perez]

FOS for me, as I have not seen anyone report it. I've been a border for 20 
years and was good friends with Starr Saphire. So I hope my posts stop being 
ignored. I post out of a public service and commitment to birding.

Every year I've done the Christmas bird count.

Again, here is my post.


There is a warbling vireo currently singing in the center of the prospect park 
lawn in the small hill of trees.

It is singing along on the east side of the clump of trees nearer to park slope 
side.

Spring is here!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Crow Shoot scheduled in Greene County

[Jonathan Perez]

Lopez is the assemblyman. Tonko is the congressman. As a congressional aide we 
had calls all the time from state level complaints. For a district I would 
start with the congressman and petition for a local contact.

Good luck.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Crow Shoot scheduled in Greene County

[Jonathan Perez]

I am no longer in the metro area, but still a member of the list.  As I am
in DC, I usually think of who is the representative.
Paul Tonko, a Congressional Democrat in the House represents Palenville.

Here is his contact from a general Google search.
http://tonko.house.gov/contact-me/

Hope that helps! This is inhumane, indeed.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Crow Shoot scheduled in Greene County

[Jonathan Perez]

I am no longer in the metro area, but still a member of the list.  As I am
in DC, I usually think of who is the representative.
Paul Tonko, a Congressional Democrat in the House represents Palenville.

Here is his contact from a general Google search.
http://tonko.house.gov/contact-me/

Hope that helps! This is inhumane, indeed.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Crow Shoot scheduled in Greene County

[Jonathan Perez]

Lopez is the assemblyman. Tonko is the congressman. As a congressional aide we 
had calls all the time from state level complaints. For a district I would 
start with the congressman and petition for a local contact.

Good luck.

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park: MOURNING, CAPE MAY, 20 WARBLER SP.

[Jonathan Perez]

A fallout over night, today was great in Brooklyn.

Today's highlights at PROSPECT PARK included a MOURNING warbler near the
pond.  It skulked in the underbrush to the water and displayed a clear
bluish-gray back when in the light.

In the midwood section of the park near Rick's place, highlights included 2
CAPE MAY WARBLERS both singing within 5 feet of my positioning.  Also in
that same section, 2 BAY BREASTED WARBLERS made an appearance alongside
tanagers, and a slew of other warblers.

Quite close to Grand Army Plaza an OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER made a brief
appearance at around 7:20 AM.

The total number of the day's warblers were 20.
