Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, April 13th 2018
at 11pm. The highlights of today's tape are SANDHILL CRANE, LITTLE GULL,
Dark-bellied BRANT, KING EIDER, ICELAND GULL, LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL and
some spring arrivals including CASPIAN TERN, YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER and
VESPER SPARROW.
Last Saturday morning in Yaphank a SANDHILL CRANE was found at the Suffolk
County Farm off Yaphank Avenue moving off to another location during the
day and doing the same routine on Sunday. On Monday morning two additional
CRANES appeared overhead and the sitting bird took flight and headed off
with them.
At Wolfe's Pond Park on Staten Island last Wednesday three different LITTLE
GULLS were present. One in very high breeding plumage. These birds keeping
company with a decent gathering of Bonaparte's Gulls likely have been in
the same area since the initial sightings at the end of March at Wolfe's
Pond.
Very interesting was the spotting of an apparent nicely marked dark-bellied
BRANT at the Six Diamonds Ballfields in Brooklyn Thursday morning. This
mainly Siberian nominate form of BRANT is extremely rare in the northeast
and was well photographed as it fed on the ballfields with some Atlantic
BRANT this site just east of Calvert Vaux Park.
The young male KING EIDER was spotted Wednesday among the large raft of
Common Eider still around Shinnecock Inlet.
Lingering gulls include an ICELAND at Wolfe's Pond Park Tuesday and single
LESSER BLACK-BACKEDS reported today from Avalon Gardens in Stony Brook, at
Sagg Pond in Bridgehampton and at Montauk Point.
Following reports, the YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER from last Saturday at Pelham
Bay Park and at Connetquot River State Park today's front brought in a few
more with at least 2 in Central Park, 1 at Owl's Head Park in Brooklyn and
another sighting at Pelham Bay. Other recent additions to the local
warblers have included BLACK-AND-WHITE as of last Saturday and NORTHERN
PARULA today but decent numbers of LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSHES are also
appearing.
A CASPIAN TERN visited the Croton train station today.
The VESPER SPARROW found in Central Park's north end last Saturday was
still around Wednesday and 2 were seen at the Suffolk County Farm on Monday.
A surprising visitor to Central Park has been a BARN OWL roosting there
since Monday.
Among the recent migrants arriving in the area have been TRICOLORED HERON
at Little Reed Pond in Montauk this afternoon, BROAD-WINGED HAWK Wednesday,
CHIMNEY SWIFT today, BLUE-HEADED VIREO in Forest Park last Saturday and
more PURPLE MARTINS.
Lingering RED-NECKED GREBES include 2 in Gravesend Bay yesterday and 1
still on the Alley Pond Park Restoration Pond Wednesday.
To phone in reports on Long Island call Tony Lauro at (631) 734-4126 or
call Tom Burke at (914) 967-4922.
