[nysbirds-l] Forest Park, Queens, May 4 afternoon

[Robert Lewis]

 
I was there from about 3:15 to 6:00.  Migration was good but photography 
difficult.
The highlights were 13 species of warbler, including:  female Hooded, both 
Blue-winged and Golden-winged, Nashville, Worm-eating.

[nysbirds-l] Forest Park, Queens: Cape May Warblers, Summer Tanager, Red-headed Woodpecker

[akmirth]

In a morning visit to the park, I saw two Cape May Warblers bathing 
simultaneously at the water hole, followed by two more sightings of single Cape 
Mays. This was around 7:30 AM. The park was full of singing warblers, the most 
abundant by far being Northern Parulas, then Yellow-rumped and Nashville 
Warblers. Three Tennessee Warblers were heard, one by the water hole and two 
others by the Union Turnpike exit.

An evening visit was rewarded with the sighting of a female Summer Tanager 
(thanks to the birders for pointing it out) and, after everyone left, a 
Red-headed Woodpecker made a brief appearance near the water hole.

Fort Tilden and Riis Park in Queens were both very quiet this morning in terms 
of migrants.

Cheers,

[nysbirds-l] Forest Park, Queens: Worm-eating Warbler

[akmirth]

12/18/15

This afternoon, while scouting various locations for the upcoming Queens 
Christmas Bird Count on Sunday, I stopped by the water hole in Forest Park. 
Around 3:30, a Worm-eating Warbler showed up to my utter amazement, feeding on 
the ground alongside some White-throated Sparrows and a junco. It left after a 
minute, but there's plenty of thick brush around for it to hide in. Hope it 
sticks around till Sunday.

[nysbirds-l] Forest Park, Queens: Worm-eating Warbler

[akmirth]

12/18/15

This afternoon, while scouting various locations for the upcoming Queens 
Christmas Bird Count on Sunday, I stopped by the water hole in Forest Park. 
Around 3:30, a Worm-eating Warbler showed up to my utter amazement, feeding on 
the ground alongside some White-throated Sparrows and a junco. It left after a 
minute, but there's plenty of thick brush around for it to hide in. Hope it 
sticks around till Sunday.

[nysbirds-l] Forest Park, Queens County - May 11: Probable Mississippi Kite

[akmirth]

At 7:45 AM today in Forest Park, I saw a medium-sized raptor that appeared 
initially like a large falcon, a peregrine. But then I saw its tail with many 
dark and white bands and a distinctly shorter first primary and thought hey 
wait a minute, that could be a Mississippi Kite! I saw it for a total of about 
5 seconds, which to me personally is not enough time to ID that bird with 100% 
certainty, especially a bird that I've only seen twice in my life. So I was 
telling other birders later on that I had a possible sighting. I have since 
upgraded that to probable, in light of sightings yesterday and today reported 
from Prospect Park, Brooklyn, consulting other birding guides at home, and from 
seeing the "Kite Whisperer's" photo from yesterday.

Although the volume of birds and birdsong decreased somewhat from yesterday, 
there was still a nice variety of warblers, seeing and hearing 21 species. The 
highlights were Tennessee, Bay-breasted, Hooded, and multiple Nashvilles, 
Chestnut-sideds, and Wilson's.

[nysbirds-l] Forest Park (Queens, NY) Additions

[Donna Schulman]

I spent several mid-morning hours at Forest Park and went back for an
evening hour, probably right after Corey left. There was little activity at
the Waterhole (which I am now calling the Water-lake) in the morning other
than the Northern Waterthrushes (at least 3) and the Solitary Sandpiper (I
only saw one), but the whole park was buzzing with the sounds of Northern
Parulas and Blue-throated Warblers, and you couldn't walk six feet without
seeing an Ovenbird. Black-and-Whites were multiplying like Tribbles.

Most of the warbler activity was in the canopy, where id was impossible in
the clouded light, but I was able to pick out a Blackburnian (I see that
Corey had two). That orange-red breast shines like a beacon. There was a lovely
Worm-eating Warbler on the bridal path, bathing in a tiny puddle, a
Nashville at the railroad tracks, a Blue-winged Warbler on the blue trail,
and quite a few Magnolias and Black-throated Greens. At least 5 Scarlet
Tanagers, 3 Empidomax Flycatchers (none of which spoke to me), a Great
Crested Flycatcher by the railroad tracks, and several Veerys. I caught the
Lincoln's Sparrow in the evening, thanks to Lisa S. and Karlo M., plus a
couple of Swamp Sparrows.

Good Birding,
Donna

[nysbirds-l] Forest Park Queens report 5/17...

[Andrew Baksh]

The birding at Forest Park Queens continues to be very good with yet
another 20+ species of warblers tallied by several birders.  The high count
collectively appears to be 24 Warbler species.

Today's highlights were *PRAIRIE* (female), *PINE* and *HOODED*
warblers, *LINCOLN
SPARROW* and *BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO*. The *HOODED* was apparently loafing
around the train tracks near a termite hatch out.  Although there was no
report of yesterday's MOURNING WARBLER or the SUMMER TANAGERS, they could
still be around.

In trying to establish the best times for the Waterhole (depending on your
priorities); it appears that very early on might be best for the largest
variety of birds.  However, it pays to stick around for those birds that
might come in a bit later...much later.

Here are two examples to support both scenarios:  An early PINE WARBLER was
not seen or heard from again after the early morning flurry.

Then, late this afternoon.  A Worm-eating Warbler which was not seen or
heard from all day, finally showed up at the waterhole around 4:05 p.m.
according to the text time stamp from Corey Finger.  By the time I made it
back to the water hole, it had pulled out but returned sometime around 5:45
where I along with several birders enjoyed very good looks.

In the end, patience and luck rules the day.  Good luck and good birding!

[nysbirds-l] Forest Park Queens Report 5-13...

[Andrew Baksh]

On Sunday, the good warbler birding continued in Forest Park Queens NY.  In
all a total of 20 species of Warblers were recorded in the Park.
Noticeably, the volume of birds were down significantly from Friday when
the bird songs overwhelmed the woods but the variety remained good.

Although, you had to work harder to get the variety of birds, I and a few
other birders were quite impressed with the number of Cape May Warblers
that were around.  Many birders spoke of seeing or nearing double digits of
this species with 10-12 being the high count reported by a few birders who
covered quite a bit of ground in the park.  There were also multiple
sightings of Bay Breasted with a high of 4-5 seen by a few birders.

One puzzling occurrence for many of the long time Forest Park birders was
the lack of activity in the late afternoon at the famous "waterhole".
Several birders shared with me that the MO used to be Jamaica Bay in the
morning and Forest Park water hole in the afternoon where a 20 warbler
species count was easy on a good day at that location.

I am fascinated at the changes taking place with the pattern of birds using
the waterhole and wonder what has affected the change the long time birders
of the park have noticed.  One theory one birder cited was that the birds
are not staying as long as they used to and seem to be long gone by the end
of the day.  Another was that there are less birds around.

If you wish to share any of your insight on why birds are not staying
longer in the midst of migration through places like Forest Park or why the
change in the lack of activity at the waterhole, please drop me a note
offline.

Thanks

of the park have noticed.  One theory one birder cited was that the birds
are not staying as long as they used to and seem to be long gone by the end
of the day.  Another was that there are less birds around.

If you wish to share any of your insight on why birds are not staying
longer in the midst of migration through places like Forest Park or why the
change in the lack of activity at the waterhole, please drop me a note
offline.

 As a follow-up to this terrible crime, I did notice increased police presence 
on Monday, and thankfully a suspect was arrested yesterday.  As indicated in 
the article, this individual is a serious criminal and I am really glad he was 
apprehended so quickly.
