RE: [nysbirds-l] N.Y. County (NYC) - Sun., 5/16 - Central Park Prothonotary Warbler & 25+ add'l. warbler species there, etc.

[scottjstoner]

To clarify, the Yellow-headed Blackbird is on tje EAST side of the Albany 
International Airport, at the end of Sicker Rd. There are two pieces of Sicker 
Rd, one on each side of the Airport. Scott Stoner, Loudonville. Sent from my

Subject: [nysbirds-l] N.Y. County (NYC) - Sun., 5/16 - Central Park 
Prothonotary Warbler & 25+ add'l. warbler species there, etc. The Yellow-headed 
Blackbird was continuing to be seen at Albany airport’s west side (Albany 
County, NY), by observers on-scene there into Sunday afternoon - May 
16th.--Sunday, May 16th -The female Prothonotary Warbler in Central 
Park, first reported on eBird in the morning, was seen by many as the day 
continued, at the northern end of The Lake, with the closest park entrance 
being that on West 77th Street & Central Park West. A lot of the views were had 
from “Oak Bridge” which sits astride the northern narrow arm of the lake.  This 
appears to be the first sighting of this species for Manhattan this year, and 
perhaps just the 2nd in N.Y. County (an earlier one was also photographed at 
Randall’s Island this spring). A minimum of 25 other warbler species were also 
being found in Central Park, & many all across Manhattan in its dozens of parks 
larger & smaller.  Among those many, Bay-breasted Warblers in double-digit 
numbers (including that many within Central Park alone, as well as many in 
other locations) were delighting a lot of observers.  This continued a 
several-days-long trend of that species’ increase in the county.  At least a 
few warbler species now running ‘late’ (for here) added to the diversity being 
found, including Pine & Palm Warbler[s].There have been some Gray-cheeked-type 
Thrushes showing in multiple locations in N.Y. County, & at least a few of 
these could - potentially - be Bicknell’s Thrush (which is not actually a 
mega-rare migrant in this area, but is rarely-identified with complete 
certainty away from the species’ pockets of specialized habitat for both 
breeding, & winterng (the latter all in the Greater Antilles of the Caribbean). 
 Audio of any full song for these closely related species (Gray-cheeked &/or 
Bicknell’s) is a useful way of discerning the ID to species-level, on 
migration-passage observations. I have heard what sounded to my ear as 
Gray-cheeked singing, while observing a few of them, and counting as that 
species on my own list, this month - all in just the last few days in 
Manhattan. Being out at both 5 am & 8:30 pm can help.  (N.B., a Bicknell’s 
Thrush has been reported as singing from Prospect Park with over a dozen 
observers, on Sunday, 5/16 - and also of interest at Prospect Park in Brooklyn 
(Kings County, N.Y. City) have been sightings of Mourning Warbler with multiple 
experienced observers/photos.)Among notable sightings for Saturday, May 15th 
were a Purple Martin seen by a small group of keen & sharp-eyed observers, at 
Central Park (with thanks to A. Burke for the spotting), as well as a 
well-described Yellow-throated Warbler at the small Canal Park in lower 
Manhattan (thanks to A. Evans for that report). And there certainly were many 
many other great sightings all around the county for these past several days 
into Sunday.We’re working towards the 33rd warbler species of the spring for 
N.Y. County, with one species so far being unconfirmed, albeit possibly having 
moved through in some of the recent excellent migration (that would be 
Golden-winged Warbler).  Lots of other excellent finds for Sunday 5/16 which 
among the many, include both species of Cuckoo (Black-billed the low-volume 
migrant this day, while Yellow-billed Cuckoos were nearly-common and some were 
calling well in at least 3 parks in manhattan on the early morn’), Olive-sided 
Flycatcher (seen as well as heard), at least 3 species of singing Empidonax 
(Acadian, Willow, Least) and even E. Phoebe still around (but scarcer now 
-here- than Great Crested Flycatcher or E. Kingbird, & E. Wood-Pewee that’s 
been increasing as expected now), all six of our regularly-occuring Vireo 
species (Philadelphia the latest of these to be passing thru), additional finds 
of Summer Tanagers (of both sexes), and a whole lot more.Perhaps a write-up 
with more of these many migrants on another day.good peak-spring landbird

[nysbirds-l] Sage Thrasher continues at Ooms Conservation area, Columbia County NY

[scottjstoner]

This continuing rarity was seen well and photographed this morning on the south 
side of the pond at Ooms conservation area in Columbia county. Several people 
reported it earlier this morning; I only had about a 20 minute wait before it 
flew into the buckthorn it has been frequenting. After a while, it flew down to 
the ground, foraging successfully in the grass about 50 yards left (roughly 
west) of the aforementioned buckthorn, between the path and the line of brush 
along the pond. It seemed active and healthy and afforded multiple great views 
and photo opportunities.Scott Stoner, Loudonville (Albany)Sent from my Verizon,

[nysbirds-l] White-winged crossbills in Hamilton County; siskins and snow bunting in Newcomb

[scottjstoner]

On Sunday March 25, Denise and I birded Sabattis Circle Rd. in Hamilton County, 
finding Pine Siskins at several locations along the road, and two Gray Jays at 
the feeders near Sabattis bog. At the inlet to Little Tupper Lake along 
Sabattis Circle Road (where rt 10 and 10A come together with the road that goes 
west along Little Tupper Lake) we had more Pine Siskins and about 8 
White-winged Crossbills. A male and female crossbill came down to the parking 
area the intersection of these 3 roads, where a large John Deere construction 
vehicle with a plow was parked. They were both gritting and drinking form the 
puddles there. As we walked the roads in that area, we observed several singing 
male WW crossbill, mostly in the treetops. A lone American Robin in the snow 
was also present.


Earlier in the day, we had a flyover Snow Bunting at the Newcomb welcome center 
park, along with about 20 purple finches and several pine siskins at the 
feeders at the Newcomb - ESF Adirondack Info. Center. 


photos are being added to our ebird reports as we finish processing them.

[nysbirds-l] Henslow's Sparrow and Dickcissel at Shawangunk Grasslands NWR in Ulster County yesterday

[scottjstoner]

Yesterday morning Denise and I drove down to the Shawangunk Grasslands National 
Wildlife Refuge in Ulster County, arriving shortly after 8 in search of the 
Henslow's Sparrow and Dickcissel previously posted by Tom Williams on Facebook. 
With information from folks in the parking lot we headed for the south blind 
and the large gathering of birders along the trail about 100 years before the 
blind, all enjoying looks at the Henslow's Sparrow. After taking some photos of 
this life bird for Denise,  we continued to the blind and photographed the 
Dickcissel, unfortunately in poor light. A bit later, the Henslow's came much 
closer to the trail,in good light,and we finally got some better looks at the 
Dickcissel as well. There were also numerous grasshopper sparrows and bobolinks 
around, along with other species. Our ebird list is at the link below, and has 
photos of the Henslow's and Dickcissel. This is a great opportunity folks...


The photos are also on my personal Facebook page and our Naturelogues Facebook 
page.- Scott Stoner and Denise Hackert-Stoner, Albany

[nysbirds-l] Harris's Sparrow, Loudonville, Albany County NY

[scottjstoner]

With great appreciation to the kind homeowners who have allowed birders access 
to view this bird, and to Rich Guthrie for making the arrangements, Denise and 
I saw the Harris's Sparrow with many other birders this morning, several times 
between 10 AM and 11:15 AM. 


We, along with others, were able to get some distant photos of this great bird, 
which (hopefully) can be seen via my ebird report at the link below.





http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S25824943



The photos are heavily cropped and edited but do provide documentation.


Thanks again, Scott Stoner and Denise Hackert-Stoner, Loudonville NY

Hudson-Mohawk Bird Club

Re: [nysbirds-l] NYS Birders Conference and NYSOA 68th Annual Meeting

[scottjstoner]

Jon Dunn wanted me to convey his sincere thanks and appreciation for being 
invited to be a part of our conference; he greatly enjoyed being part of the 
field trips and meeting and talking with so many folks at the meeting. He 
really had a good time and wanted me  to let everyone know how much it meant to 
him.  - Scott Stoner, Program Chair

Re: [nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Notes

[scottjstoner]

Five birders from NY's Capital Region (Albany area) were there today (Sunday 
July 28); we did not find the Avocet or the  Ruff, but did see a Gull-billed 
Tern about halfway between the visitor center and the breach in the west pond.

Well, it looks like the Avocet is gone from the East Pond, so only the memories 
and pictures remain. I posted a couple of pictures on my web site 
http://www.stevewalternature.com/ . Also, some other recent things, including a 
crummy flight shot of yesterday’s Ruff (on the recent work page). 
 
Some things from the weekend that may have gone unreported: One White-rumped 
Sandpiper seen by me today (now reported because someone might be tracking 
every shorebird species by the day) and Gull-billed Tern. I saw one yesterday 
morning in the marsh near the West Pond breach (a regular but patience 
requiring spot) and Corey Finger mentioned a couple on the East Pond today.
 
The breach is not totally useless. One bird species, at least, seems to be 
taking advantage. Depending on the tide, Black Skimmers have been fishing in 
it. Great photo ops in the morning light.
 
I had heard that the tidal flow into the West Pond now spills into the gardens. 
I hadn’t seen it for myself until the other night. I often bait for moths in 
the South Garden. On this occasion, I found that I couldn’t enter the garden 
from the entrance off the West Pond trail because it was flooded. I had to go 
in from the higher entrance, but three of the trees I normally bait were 
surrounded by water. There were still a couple of other trees available and 
moth turnout was quite good. It did seem like the water rose while I was there, 
coming close to one of the trees I was working. Maybe 50 percent of the garden 
was flooded. Kind of eerie. Doing moths has a whole set of parameters and 
challenges, but I never thought I would have to check tide tables.
 
On another moth note, there was a good one on the VC wall yesterday. It turns 
out I’m not the only one that paid attention, so my ID for other interested 
parties is Plebeian Sphinx, a first for Jamaica Bay. A picture is on the moth 
page of my web site.
 
Back to shorebirds for a couple of impressions I’ve gotten this season. Does it 
seem like at times no shorebirds are feeding on the pond? Last Sunday 
afternoon, everything was heading for the roost by the island. I never saw so 
many shorebirds on the pond – roosting exclusively. It seemed to be happening 
for a while today, but that changed. Also, does it seem that there is a quicker 
turnover of birds than in the past? (If you hear numbers are low and unsure of 
whether to go to Jamaica Bay, keep in mind things are changing very quickly – 
e.g. very low numbers reported Friday to an interesting day Saturday that 
featured a couple of goodies.) Maybe these are related as we try to get used to 
post-Sandy Jamaica Bay. There are changes that are clear to see (as I mentioned 
above) and there may be changes that are not so evident (with maybe the 
shorebirds hinting at them).

[nysbirds-l] Bloomingdale Bog, Franklin County Feb 3

[scottjstoner]

Today Denise Hackert-Stoner, John Kent and I birded Bloomingdale Bog, walking 
south from CR 55 in Franklin County, west of Bloomingdale, NY in the 
Adirondacks. The variety of species was low but in one area perhaps a half mile 
down the trail we hit the jackpot:


Boreal Chickadee
White-winged Crossbill
Common Redpoll
Gray Jay (eating peanuts from our hands) 
plus
Red-breasted Nuthatch
Black-capped Chickadee.
