After a smattering of warblers and a female SUMMER TANGER in my yard (2 miles east of the park) yesterday afternoon, I expected an exciting day today. Nope!. Still struggling to get a wow day. However, the PROTHOTARY WARBLER continues and a CERULIAN WARBLER showed up early this morning along the stream and later moved over to the NW corner of the dog run. Still there when I left at 11:00, sporadically singing loudly.

Hempstead Lake SP 13 Apr We finally had a small wave of warblers this morning consisting of PINE, PALM, YELLOW-RUMPED and BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLERS. Other recent additions were RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET and BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER. Surprising was the lack of any sparrow movement. While the Tree Swallows came down over South Pond, for he most part, they were foraging way up in the air. A RED-SHOULDERED HAWK posed in the woods close to the stream path until driven off by the Blue Jays, then settling not far off. It seems everyone has a camera these days. Before the jays got too rambunctious, there was a great photo-op going. Not to be overlooked, a pair of brilliant male WOOD DUCKS livened the parking lot pond.

[nysbirds-l] Hempstead Lake SP and Kissena Park, Queens
Hempstead Lake SP. Joe Giunta, Debbie Martin and I (Sy Schiff) joined the South Shore Audubon this morning in Hempstead. The walk produced several dozen species including lingering Wood Duck, Pied-bill Grebe, 8 species of warbler, 4 species of woodpecker, a Blue-headed Vireo, a few sparrows plus other usual common birds. Not necessarily a migration, but a pleasant increase from recent days. Kissena Park. After our tour of Hempstead, we went to Queens and birded the Kissena Community Garden. The garden was lush with late vegetables and bursting with planted flowers. There were lots of working gardeners who didn't seem to bother us or the few sparrows and half dozen Palm Warblers.. We went next door to he corridor where we found a pair of circling Red-tail Hawks, Red-eyed Vireo, another Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, 3 species of warbler and 5 species of sparrows. The birding here was a bit disappointing after the early morning at Hempstead, but the overall day was a lovely Fall experience, Sy -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] Hempstead Lake SP and Kissena Park, Queens
Hempstead Lake SP. Joe Giunta, Debbie Martin and I (Sy Schiff) joined the South Shore Audubon this morning in Hempstead. The walk produced several dozen species including lingering Wood Duck, Pied-bill Grebe, 8 species of warbler, 4 species of woodpecker, a Blue-headed Vireo, a few sparrows plus other usual common birds. Not necessarily a migration, but a pleasant increase from recent days. Kissena Park. After our tour of Hempstead, we went to Queens and birded the Kissena Community Garden. The garden was lush with late vegetables and bursting with planted flowers. There were lots of working gardeners who didn't seem to bother us or the few sparrows and half dozen Palm Warblers.. We went next door to he corridor where we found a pair of circling Red-tail Hawks, Red-eyed Vireo, another Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, 3 species of warbler and 5 species of sparrows.

[nysbirds-l] Hempstead Lake SP
Hempstead Lake SP 14 May A slow birding morning with few migrants. There were singing White-eyed, Warbling and Red-eyed Vireos, Gray Catbird, Northern Cardinal, Baltimore Oriole, calling Great-crested Flycatcher and Red-bellied Woodpeckers. It seemed more like early Summer than Mid May. NEWS ALERT: The Boy Scouts will arrive this afternoon and stay the weekend for their annual Jamboree. Not going to be a birding weekend. On a better note, refurbishing work within the park, depending on the weather, should be complete by mid week. At that point, all parking fields will be open. Repaving of Eagle Ave will take a bit longer. The entrance from Peninsula Blvd is still closed. Go to Southern State Exit 18.

[nysbirds-l] Hempstead lake SP construction.
Hempstead Lake SP progress report Lots of construction going on. The entrance to the park from Peninsula Blvd is closed. Exit 18 West on the Southern State Pkwy is being rebuilt and you may or may not be able to exit there. The Exit East is OK. Eagle Ave through the park is udder construction and will be repaved starting with completion of the repaving within the park. The paths are mostly complete and Field #2 should be completed today. Just some inner roadways and finishing touches. I entered Eagle Ave through the city streets and drove south to field #1, not being sure if I could get there from the parkway going west.. I live to the east; there was no problem going east from exit 18.. Lovely day although the birding was a bit slow. It's going to take a bit before things straighten out---but, we'll be all set for the fall migration.

At Hempstead, a Green Heron (found yesterday) was present this morning along with a Black-crowned Night-Heron and continuing Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. At Oceanside, Clapper Rail(s), Greater Yellowlegs, 6 Forster Terns, a pair resting on each of three different buoys off the end of the property, and Savannah Sparrows continue. Today saw the first Willets. I took Bob Adamo over to the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron colony north of Waukena Ave (Gifford and Woodward Ave.). There was a bird sitting on a nest with an accompanying adult nearby. A single has been seen in the preserve for the past week.

[nysbirds-l] Hempstead Lake SP: Chat plus Pine Warblers
Hempstead Lake SP. 30 March Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) spent a pleasant, but still cool morning finding few migratory birds. However, 2 EASTERN PHOEBE were seen along with ten (10) PINE WARBLERS, in groups of 2, 6 and 2. Most were very bright and singing loudly, a number at the same time. A single YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER joined the larger group. The lingering YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT feeding on bittersweet berries by the west side of McDonald Pond offered a scant inadequate sighting before dropping down and disappearing. We waited silently, walked into the path at the SW corner, waited and looked some more. Gradually we detected movement in the dense vegetation, A bird slowly moved about while completely hidden. Frustrating. Then, it flew up into the center of a a small tree 15 ft. away and posed for us.. WOW! The bright yellow under parts were dazzling in the morning sun. Other birds included an OSPREY over McDonald Pond and 2 GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS.

[nysbirds-l] Hempstead Lake SP-BLACK TERN
Hempstead Lake SP 25 August I joined the South Shore Audubon Thursday walk this morning. Land birding was uneventful for the most part. At the north end of South Pond where the open field constricts the expanse of the pond next to McDonald Pond, there was a huge slick of floating debris, sticks and leaves. Around the periphery and occasionally in the center was a flitting bird (reminiscent of a Storm-Petrol). The flight was very un-tern like when first seen. It turned out to be an adult BLACK TERN molting from Summer to Winter plumage. A totally unexpected bird in that location.

[nysbirds-l] Hempstead Lake SP
Hempstead Lake SP; 18 Mar. Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) went looking for early migrants. Till now, things have been lackluster. Even the vegetation is late with red maples just stating to bud. There was some migrant movement into the park in the last day or so with 4 Wood Ducks, Tree Swallows, single members of both Kinglets, a dozen Yellow-rumped Warblers (not usually found here in winter) and a pair of Eastern Towhees. It's a start. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
