BEGIN TAPE

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, September 13th

First. See Life Paulagics has scheduled a deep sea pelagic trip aboard the
Brooklyn VI leaving Brooklyn at 8am on Saturday, September 21st and
returning 6:30 Sunday evening. There are still spaces available with at
least 10 needing to be filled for the trip to go with great possibilities
this is an excellent opportunity to get offshore. If interested please call
See Life Paulagics (215) 234-6805 < http://www.paulagics.com/ >.

Hurricane Dorian, fortunately a non-event here, may have been responsible
for the juvenile ARCTIC TERN identified during a seawatch from Robert Moses
State Park field 2 last Saturday morning. Three SANDWICH TERNS appearing
today on the beach at Sagg Pond in Bridgehampton, while perhaps hurricane
related, are as likely a product of post breeding dispersal.

An AMERICAN AVOCET still present at Mecox Bay to Monday was likely the one
moving over to Sagg Pond Tuesday and continuing there through today. Sagg
Pond is accessed from Sagg Main Street off Route 27. Single BUFF-BREASTED
SANDPIPERS appeared this week at Nickerson Beach Saturday and Tuesday, at
Mecox Saturday and Sunday, at Sagg Pond Sunday and at Heckscher State Park
Sunday and Monday but we have no reports yet from the Riverhead sod fields.
Also at Nickerson were a MARBLED GODWIT Saturday and a BAIRD'S SANDPIPER
Sunday through Wednesday with another BAIRD'S on the East Pond's Raunt at
Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge on Saturday. An immature RED PHALAROPE was
photographed Wednesday on Wolfe's Pond Park on Staten Island. An UPLAND
SANDPIPER was heard passing over Manhattan's east side early this morning
and a WHIMBREL visited Robert Moses State Park last Saturday. Five
LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS continue at Santapogue Creek in West Babylon with
another seen at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area Tuesday and Friday
those same days also finding an AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER there with a SORA
spotted there Tuesday as well.

Other shorebirds this week included a few WESTERN, STILT and PECTORAL
SANDPIPERS and there were also a few CASPIAN TERNS and LESSER BLACK-BACKED
GULLS noted coastally.

Evening flights of COMMON NIGHTHAWKS continue and RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS
were noted along the Paumanok Trail off Schultz Road in Manorville and at
the Arshamomaque Preserve in Greenport.

Among the YELLOW-BREASTED CHATS were birds in Central Park Saturday and
today, at Fort Tryon last Saturday and at Jones Beach West End Sunday.
CONNECTICUT WARBLERS included 2 seen together at times at Coney Island
Creek in Brooklyn Thursday morning and singles also in Brooklyn at Prospect
Park Saturday and Green-wood Cemetery Thursday. GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER
reports included singles from Central Park Saturday and Prospect Park and a
Syosset yard Sunday and other warblers this week included MOURNING,
TENNESSEE, CAPE MAY, BAY-BREASTED, WILSON'S and HOODED.

DICKCISSEL, usually calling as they flew overhead, were noted at Jones
Beach West End Saturday, Moses Park and Marshlands Conservancy in Rye
Sunday and at Van Cortlandt Park Monday and a few PHILADELPHIA VIREOS have
also been reported recently along with some OLIVE-SIDED and empidonax
flycatchers. LARK SPARROWS included singles at Pelham Bay Park last
Saturday, Moses Park on Sunday and on Staten Island yesterday.

To phone in reports call Tom Burke at (914) 967-4922.

This service is sponsored by the Linnaean Society of New York and the
National Audubon Society. Thank you for calling.
