[nysbirds-l] Croton point birds

2024-04-21 Thread Andrew Block 
At croton point park in croton the two basically adult red-headed woodpeckers 
are still there.  Also had two broad-winged hawks fly over and several savanna 
sparrows and five yellow-rumped and one palm warblers along with two blue-gray 
gnatcatchers.

2024-03-08 Thread Andrew Block 
The two red headed woodpeckers are still up atthe airplane field picnic 
grounds.  The first swallows of the year were two tree swallows.  No sign of 
the yellow headed blackbird in the flock of starlings and cowbirds this pm.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park warblers

2023-07-10 Thread Shaibal Mitra 
One might expect that the Canadian wildfires would be likely to displace birds 
and other wildlife, and observations like these are potentially very valuable. 
Many readers of this list are intimately familiar with their local sites and in 
position to detect similar kinds of unusual occurrences involving forest birds 
this summer. The Kingbird Regional Editors would appreciate reports of this 
kind from thoughtful observers willing to provide some context from their local 
perspectives.

This park has become quite a magnet for unexpected warbler species the last 
couple of weeks, especially singing males in lovely plumage. So far I've seen 
Magnolia, Northern Parula, Black-and-White, and Ovenbird...and though they 
don't all flag as rare, I bird this park a lot, and this seems very unusual 
here in this season. (They don't look or act like early migrants--is the 
consensus that these are birds displaced by the Canadian wildfires, or some 
other cause?) Seems worth keeping an eye out in the park for others as well

P.S. Andrew Baksh's heartening report from Jamaica Bay reminded me of the 
Father's Day essay I wrote for Saw Mill River Audubon--and posted here--a few 
years back, about my Dad and that wonderful preserve. As it happens, he and it 
also appear in my latest piece, which is more about the 
places--landscapes--that speak most deeply to us. Dad had his, I have mine, and 
I always wonder if you all have one, too. Apologies if this is too o/t, but if

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park in transition

2022-03-13 Thread Joseph Wallace 
This week at the park has shown how even the doldrums of March can be
filled with motion...and preparation. Snow Buntings, Horned Larks, and
American Pipits have all stopped by in the past few days, and today I
watched three Red Fox Sparrows (the most I've ever seen at one time)
kicking up leaf litter in a tight group, presumably getting ready for their
own journey. At the same time, a flock of newly arrived Tree Swallows was
wheeling above Croton Bay; my first Eastern Phoebe of the season made an
appearance; and many resident birds are already on territory. It's a
fascinatingly changeable time in the park right now, matching the weather.

[nysbirds-l] Croton point park

2021-11-09 Thread Larry Trachtenberg 
The Le Conte’s Sparrow found by M. Adam 11/6 was refound this a.m. by K Lamb. 
(Assuming it’s same bird.)   Off the Center Path. Pipits and meadowlarks have 
been around. Savannah sparrow numbers are wicked high. 

There are only three paths you may walk at CPP landfill - the center path, the 
path on the east side (by phragmites), and the path around the circumference. 
Please do not walk on any side swales/side drainage areas or the landfill 
itself.  A lot of people have gone to great effort and NYS has spent 
considerable funds to create what is a great spot for birds. Please keep it 
that way. Thank you.

While I did not have a lot of time, the landfill was pretty active this morning 
reaffirming the meadow restoration. Highlights were a blue grosbeak, Nelson’s 
sparrow, and a dickcissel (although I dipped on the latter).  Good numbers of 
swamp and savannah sparrow; up to 6 marsh wrens seen; as well as 30-40 
bobolinks still staging in phrags on east side of landfill. My kestrel count 
was up to 7. Some other fall migrants around as well. Despite the rains, I 
encountered no shore birds either in ball field area or on landfill. 

Stay on the main paths. Thanks.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

There's one unconfirmed eBird report of a Hoary there today.  Not from me;
I've never seen one there, and haven't gone this weekend (yet).

I found a single hoary redpoll by itself at CPP on January 21. It was 
photographed by K. Lamb and two others and confirmed as such. This was before 
the influx of common redpolls.  I understand one perhaps two were seen very 
early in February I did not see those.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

I had it last weekend.  At the time I thought it was a pale Common since I 
didn't know the one there was a exilipes ssp.  I was thinking hornemanni ssp. 
since that it was I've seen here in the northeast.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

2021-02-14 Thread Petrov, Ivan Georgiev 


Hello!

This discussion made me look at one of my old pictures, taken in Urbana, 
Illinois, which I considered to be a common redpoll.
Is there a chance that it is Hoary?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

This amazing display has been going on since at least February 2, with minor 
variations.   Two Hoary Redpolls were documented February 4, but they are 
elusive recently.  The Meadowlark started becoming regular and easy to see a 
few days ago.  There has also been a very reliable Ipswitch Sparrow, sometimes 
joined by a second.

This amazing display has been going on since at least February 2, with minor 
variations.   Two Hoary Redpolls were documented February 4, but they are 
elusive recently.  The Meadowlark started becoming regular and easy to see a

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

2021-02-05 Thread Trachlar 
The birding at CPP the last several days has been excellent. There has been a 
very cooperative flock of common redpolls that has reached 25 or so birds 
moving a relatively short distance between a tree near maintenance yard to the 
landfill center path, on polls, I have even seen photos of redpolls landing on 
a scope.  
Also present are (at least) two Eastern Meadowlark and sporadic flocks of snow 
buntings and horned larks. Strong numbers of both Savannah and American Tree

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

2021-02-05 Thread Trachlar 
The birding at CPP the last several days has been excellent. There has been a 
very cooperative flock of common redpolls that has reached 25 or so birds 
moving a relatively short distance between a tree near maintenance yard to the 
landfill center path, on polls, I have even seen photos of redpolls landing on 
a scope.  
Also present are (at least) two Eastern Meadowlark and sporadic flocks of snow 
buntings and horned larks. Strong numbers of both Savannah and American Tree 
sparrows are also present. A few rough legged hawks and N. Harriers have been 
seen (briefly) joining resident red tails as well as cooper’s, red shoulder, 
several eagles and occasional falcon. 

If you come please stay on center and east side landfill paths and OFF of any 
side paths.  Stated otherwise read the signs.

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point YB Cuckoo and Blackpoll

2020-11-20 Thread Dawn Hannay 
Highlights near the croton point landfill today included a Yellow-billed 
Cuckoo, flushed from  the path below the landfill on the southeast side. It 
flew into the vines nearby and was vocalizing. I got some good photos. Also 
seen was a late Blackpoll Warbler foraging low in mugwort and grasses on the 
south slope of the landfill. Horned Larks, American Tree Sparrows and a large 
(33 low estimate) flock of pipits. We did not see any Snow Buntings or Longspur.
Happy Birding,
Dawn Hannay

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

2020-11-13 Thread Trachlar 
Perfect day on the landfill. Chilly but not cold or windy; damp and misty (but 
not rainy so tolerable level of fogginess on bins); everything camouflaged in 
various shades of brown, tan, yellow and green and some good birds. While 
yesterday’s two cattle egrets were one day wonders; center path held 2 horned 
lark, 8 snow buntings, 3 meadowlarks flew several times just west of main path, 
single merlin (on ground), single N. Harrier, 50 or so pipits, no unusual 
sparrows but several savannah, chipping and a few swamp, and the real surprise 
in bushes near east side path a Yellow billed cuckoo. If you bird the landfill 
please stay on two main paths. The restoration project thanks you. 

Stay safe out there

2020-09-25 Thread Larry Trachtenberg 
A lapland longspur has been seen and heard this am. (the third straight day) 
from the center road of landfill. STAY ON two main roads only — center and east 
side of landfill. There has been a major effort by a lot of folks on the 
restoration of this important and unique southern NY tier grassland for 
breeding and migrating birds. Try not to mess it up for that slightly better 
view or photo. The pipit flock seems to be growing 40 birds perhaps more; 
landfill also inundated w Palm Warblers this am. A few bobolinks still around. 
Savannah's too and hopefully Yom Kippur as it usually does brings some more 
sparrow species to the landfill.  Good raptors too 10+ kestrel, coopers, N.  
Harrier, Bald Eagle, many osprey.

Sorry for second post - but one other thing.  The landfill grassland has 
undergone a major restoration project; so if you do visit CPP and want to walk 
the landfill stay on the two main "roads" only; the one over the center of the 
landfill and the one on the east (Phragmites) side of the landfill.  Signs to 
that effect are prominent.  (This includes photographers.)   Thank you.

Kestrels have returned to the posts on the landfill at Croton Point (I saw 
three this a.m.) - seems early, since as far as I know they do not breed in 
Westchester County.  Also the Purple Martin colony has done pretty well; many 
adults and young birds scouring the landfill this am.  It does appear 
grasshopper sparrow has bred and likely bobolink.  No rarities yet this summer 
in the park, although Caspian Tern (2) was seen at the train station yesterday 
for several hours until tide turned; a short tome visit from a yellow crowned 
night heron earlier this summer is pretty un-common on this side of the County. 
 Caspian is marked rare on e-bird but they are a regular visitor often both 
spring and fall migration.  We are mid-July so not sure what this visit was.

On a lepidopterist note, I "helped" out (using that word generously) on the 
Northern Westchester Butterfly County yesterday and in the Teatown area we had 
23 species (list below), although a few more skipper photos are being 
circulated for ID.  Skippers, seriously, ... if you thought fall warblers are 
tough to ID.

Good socially distanced birding,

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park

2020-07-13 Thread Larry Trachtenberg 
Kestrels have returned to the posts on the landfill at Croton Point (I saw 
three this a.m.) - seems early, since as far as I know they do not breed in 
Westchester County.  Also the Purple Martin colony has done pretty well; many 
adults and young birds scouring the landfill this am.  It does appear 
grasshopper sparrow has bred and likely bobolink.  No rarities yet this summer 
in the park, although Caspian Tern (2) was seen at the train station yesterday 
for several hours until tide turned; a short tome visit from a yellow crowned 
night heron earlier this summer is pretty un-common on this side of the County. 
 Caspian is marked rare on e-bird but they are a regular visitor often both 
spring and fall migration.  We are mid-July so not sure what this visit was.

On a lepidopterist note, I "helped" out (using that word generously) on the 
Northern Westchester Butterfly County yesterday and in the Teatown area we had 
23 species (list below), although a few more skipper photos are being 
circulated for ID.  Skippers, seriously, ... if you thought fall warblers are 
tough to ID.

Good socially distanced birding,

[nysbirds-l] Croton point park - late migration today

2020-05-26 Thread Larry Trachtenberg 
Because of early morning fog, a heads up on the radar from C. Roberto, and the 
delay in migration I’ve been hearing about, I headed to the CPP nature center 
early this morning.  It‘s just off the river with a good mix of trees including 
many oaks and in the past fog has yielded some nice drop-ins.  Joined by K Lamb 
we were treated (distanced) to 14 species of wood warblers (many migrants) 
including multiples of Bay Breasted, Canada, Magnolia, Blackpoll, Chestnut 
sided, BTGW, and Black and white. Also a Blackburnian and a BTBW.  Also a good 
mix of other species. 

There are also bobolinks on the main and secondary landfills (less it seems 
than when they first arrived earlier this month because injudicious and 
indiscriminate mowing practices), and grasshopper sparrow has been seen and 
heard. Finally, I was lucky enough a few days ago to have the first reported 
sighting at CPP of yellow crowned night heron in 20+ years (and the first 
recorded on ebird from the park).

Good again this morning between 9-1015 on landfill:  one red shoulder(adult) 
soaring w one Red tailed, and one sharpie (also seen a second sharpie and a 
coop); 3 meadowlarks, 3 snow buntings, 7 pipit. Some native grasses remain but 
most of landfill mowed plowed and re-seeded in cooperative project among NYS, 
the County, and some dedicated local birders-planters(?) to replace invasives 
with natives. Stay on the gravel paths really no walking on the dirt anywhere — 
yes photographers you.  And dog owners on leash (the dogs anyway); please. 
Sparrows in short supply w lack of cover. No harriers or kestrels, the former 
may be affected by lack of cover for mice/voles but I’m not sure.  A brief walk 
along edge of model airplane field yielded two savannah and one field sparrow 
among white throats and song sparrows.

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park sightings, Westchester County

2019-10-28 Thread Anne Swaim 
Some notable birds were seen on Saw Mill River Audubon's regular 4th Monday
bird walk at Croton Point Park this morning.

*Seen on the grassland landfill were*
Wilson Snipe (2)
American Pipit (40+)
Horned Lark (2)
Vesper Sparrow (12+)


*eBird summary here of this morning's Saw Mill River Audubon field trip:*
*https://ebird.org/checklist/S60996136
*

Also noted: last evening just at dusk, three Eastern Meadowlarks were seen
atop the landfill.

*Additional Notes on Croton Point Grassland Restoration *
Much of the landfill has now been disked with turned up soil, as part of
the two-year restoration project, and it will be interesting to see how the
usual migrant and overwintering birds respond to these altered conditions.
There are refugia of standing native grasses on both the west and east
sides of the landfill that will remain undisturbed during the restoration
project.

All bird views above were from the main paths.

A reminder, please, for visiting birders/photographers not to walk on any
of the side gravel berms or across the landfill itself, as is posted on
park signs.

There are several people who have been instrumental in aiding in the 
restoration of the Croton Point Park landfill, working with the County and the 
meadow landscaper, etc. They have put in countless hours over the last few 
years of volunteer time (I am not one of them). I won’t shout them out by name 
since I don’t know if they want to be named but anyone who has or will bird at 
Croton Point thanks you. Hopefully when the project is completed the CPP

acres of grassland covering the former Croton Landfill at Croton Point Park in 
Croton-on-Hudson was designed in late 2018. Construction will begin in 2019.The 
grassland, or meadow, is currently characterized as a mosaic of plant 
populations and communities with most dominated by ecologically undesirable 
vegetation, such as non-native cool season grasses and invasive and non-native 
mugwort. The goal is to transform the meadow into an ecologically diverse 
community of plants, which will encourage overall biological diversity, 
especially of beneficial insects and birds.The restoration of each patch of 
vegetation will have to be handled differently in order to achieve the best 
overall results. For example, some patches will need to be frequently mowed on 
a temporary basis while others will need to be treated with herbicide to 
eradicate dominant plants. Most patches will need to be re-seeded with mixes of 
desirable grasses and forbs. The grassland is viewed by naturalists as 
critically important to many species of birds using the Atlantic Flyway, the 
migratory route for birds traveling up and down the East Coast. Many other 
birds, including the bald eagle, also use Croton Point Park, the largest 
peninsula in the Hudson River. The project is funded by a $500,000 state grant 
to the District,which will be used for construction. The District is using 
additional state funding and other revenue to finance project planning, design

will need to be frequently mowed on a temporary basis while others will
need to be treated with herbicide to eradicate dominant plants. Most
patches will need to be re-seeded with mixes of desirable grasses and
forbs. The grassland is viewed by naturalists as critically important to
many species of birds using the Atlantic Flyway, the migratory route for
birds traveling up and down the East Coast. Many other birds, including the
bald eagle, also use Croton Point Park, the largest peninsula in the Hudson
River. The project is funded by a $500,000 state grant to the
District,which will be used for construction. The District is using
additional state funding and other revenue to finance project planning,
design and construction management.A Planning Department staff person will
manage the project on behalf of the District and Westchester County*

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park this morning

2019-08-30 Thread Anne Swaim 
In case helpful to pass along, this week's planned mowing of the Croton
Point Park capped landfill grasslands is part of a two-year restoration
plan designed by Larry Weaner Landscape Associates. (Vegetation has not
been removed from the site.)

*Quick overview of project* (from local media story last spring before
project start)
https://patch.com/new-york/ossining/croton-point-grasslands-restoration-project-timeline-talk

*Further details from Westchester County Soil & Water Conservation
District's 2019 Work Plan*
*Croton Point Park Grassland Restoration Project: The restoration of nearly
100 acres of grassland covering the former Croton Landfill at Croton Point
Park in Croton-on-Hudson was designed in late 2018. Construction will begin
in 2019.The grassland, or meadow, is currently characterized as a mosaic of
plant populations and communities with most dominated by ecologically
undesirable vegetation, such as non-native cool season grasses and invasive
and non-native mugwort. The goal is to transform the meadow into an
ecologically diverse community of plants, which will encourage overall
biological diversity, especially of beneficial insects and birds.The
restoration of each patch of vegetation will have to be handled differently
in order to achieve the best overall results. For example, some patches
will need to be frequently mowed on a temporary basis while others will
need to be treated with herbicide to eradicate dominant plants. Most
patches will need to be re-seeded with mixes of desirable grasses and
forbs. The grassland is viewed by naturalists as critically important to
many species of birds using the Atlantic Flyway, the migratory route for
birds traveling up and down the East Coast. Many other birds, including the
bald eagle, also use Croton Point Park, the largest peninsula in the Hudson

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Sightings & Landfill Grassland Project Begun

2019-04-23 Thread Anne Swaim 
Surprisingly still relatively quiet today: only warbler was ongoing Pine
Warbler singing/seen in pines between RV Campground and Croton Bay. Big
influx of House Wrens this morning singing in every corner and uptick of
singing Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers and Eastern Towhee.  Small kettle (11)
Broad-winged Hawks seen mid-day.  Two American Kestrels seen hunting the
native grass areas of the landfill. (A Northern Harrier, a grey ghost, was
seen by other birders yesterday on the grassland.)

Two male Purple Martins arrived today, singing and entering gourds on
nesting structure by park entrance booth. (Third year for this project;
here's hoping for another successful nesting year.)

Of note: a 2nd martin nesting structure was added this spring, at Rockwood
Hall State Park, ~4.5 mi S, in hopes of establishing a 2nd Westchester
County Purple Martin colony.

Also as a heads up to regional birders: the Croton Point Park landfill
grassland restoration project has now begun with most of the landfill
grassland mown this spring with exception of flagged areas of native
grasses. The main path was closed temporarily today while targeted spraying
for smooth bromegrass was done. This is the start of a two-year project.
Saw Mill River Audubon is encouraging signage on site -- to be added soon
-- to explain the project. More info below, if of interest.

Brief project overview: Using state funding to its Soil and Water
Conservation District, the County of Westchester is restoring grassland
atop the former landfill at Croton Point Park. Larry Weaner Landscape
Associates has designed this project and will be overseeing its
implementation. The project is intended to curb less desirable, invasive
plants in favor of more ecologically friendly native plants to improve
wildlife habitat, especially for grassland birds.

Thursday, May 23, 7:00pm at the Croton Free Library, Saw Mill River Audubon
is hosting a public program to overview this project including a Q with
presenters Larry Weaner and Jenna Webster, of Larry Weaner Landscape
Associates.

Ongoing, Saw Mill River Audubon is glad to field questions or comments
about this project and pass along any concerns, as may be helpful.  We have
been closely following the project plans and were invited to offer input,
including referencing eBird records of grassland bird use of the project
site, with ongoing thanks to all who eBird their visits to Croton Point
Park.

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Sightings & Landfill Grassland Project Begun

2019-04-23 Thread Anne Swaim 
Surprisingly still relatively quiet today: only warbler was ongoing Pine
Warbler singing/seen in pines between RV Campground and Croton Bay. Big
influx of House Wrens this morning singing in every corner and uptick of
singing Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers and Eastern Towhee.  Small kettle (11)
Broad-winged Hawks seen mid-day.  Two American Kestrels seen hunting the
native grass areas of the landfill. (A Northern Harrier, a grey ghost, was
seen by other birders yesterday on the grassland.)

Two male Purple Martins arrived today, singing and entering gourds on
nesting structure by park entrance booth. (Third year for this project;
here's hoping for another successful nesting year.)

Of note: a 2nd martin nesting structure was added this spring, at Rockwood
Hall State Park, ~4.5 mi S, in hopes of establishing a 2nd Westchester
County Purple Martin colony.

Also as a heads up to regional birders: the Croton Point Park landfill
grassland restoration project has now begun with most of the landfill
grassland mown this spring with exception of flagged areas of native
grasses. The main path was closed temporarily today while targeted spraying
for smooth bromegrass was done. This is the start of a two-year project.
Saw Mill River Audubon is encouraging signage on site -- to be added soon
-- to explain the project. More info below, if of interest.

Brief project overview: Using state funding to its Soil and Water
Conservation District, the County of Westchester is restoring grassland
atop the former landfill at Croton Point Park. Larry Weaner Landscape
Associates has designed this project and will be overseeing its
implementation. The project is intended to curb less desirable, invasive
plants in favor of more ecologically friendly native plants to improve
wildlife habitat, especially for grassland birds.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Ross's Goose (Westchester County)

2019-02-10 Thread Anne Swaim 
Ross’s Goose described below still present at same location first light. 

Thanks Tom and Gail!

Also noting that many geese from night flocks in this location have been seen 
shifting over to lawns in and adjacent waters to Croton Point Park after early 
morning. 

So here’s hoping this bird does same and is visible in those locations if not 
still at boat ramp for others to see later this am.
