Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, August 17th
2018 at 9pm. The highlights of today's tape are BRIDLED TERN, BROWN
PELICAN, MARBLED GODWIT, RED-NECKED PHALAROPE, UPLAND SANDPIPER, WHIMBREL
and other shorebirds, CASPIAN TERN, BLACK TERN, GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER and
MOURNING WARBLER and BLUE GROSBEAK.
The adult BRIDLED TERN visiting Great Gull Island since August 3rd was
still present yesterday but not seen there today thus perhaps moving on.
The tern was mostly seen roosting on or feeding around the northeastern
corner of this private research station for breeding Common and Roseate
Terns. Also noted during the week were a few GREAT and CORY'S SHEARWATERS
and up to 8 PARASITIC JAEGERS. This count from last Sunday.
The only BROWN PELICAN report this week was from last Saturday off Staten
Island's Miller Field.
Otherwise it was mostly a week for shorebirds. At Jamaica Bay Wildlife
Refuge unfortunately a deluge of rain last Sunday had an adverse impact on
both ponds raising the water to much less productive levels. The numbers of
STILT and PECTORAL SANDPIPERS were reduced as a result but the smaller
shorebirds were impacted the most. Sunday morning a LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER
and a few WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS were on the East Pond and a CASPIAN TERN
showed up on the East Pond Tuesday. At Plumb Beach in Brooklyn 3 MARBLED
GODWITS appeared last Sunday after the storm. But today at Plumb there were
a WHIMBREL and 4 CASPIAN TERNS. Two other MARBLED GODWITS this week
included one hanging out with American Oystercatchers at Breezy Point
Wednesday through today and one at Cupsogue County Park yesterday while
other WHIMBRELS featured one Monday at Great Kills Park on Staten Island
and 5 Wednesday at Cedar Beach in Southold on the north fork this a regular
sight for this species. A nice find was an UPLAND SANDPIPER spotted last
Saturday as it flew over Floyd Bennett Field. Five WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS
were also among the shorebirds at Floyd Bennett Sunday. A treat for whale
watchers on a Cresli trip on a Viking boat out of Montauk last Wednesday
were four RED-NECKED PHALAROPES and also noted were a small number of
CORY'S, GREAT and SOOTY SHEARWATERS.
A BLACK TERN was spotted at Breezy Point today and some ROYAL TERNS
continue along the south shore of Long Island.
Highlights among the slowly increasing number of landbirds this week were a
female GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER in Central Park Wednesday and a MOURNING
WARBLER in Prospect Park the day before. Other warblers have included
BLUE-WINGED, NORTHERN PARULA, OVENBIRD, LOUISIANA and NORTHERN
WATERTHRUSHES, BLACK-THROATED BLUE and BLACK-THROATED GREEN, BLACKBURNIAN,
MAGNOLIA, PRAIRIE and CANADA. Also HOODED WARBLER near Golden's Bridge in
Westchester County Monday.
Other migrants have featured both BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO and YELLOW-BILLED
CUCKOOS. The onset of the COMMON NIGHTHAWK migration and scattered PURPLE
MARTINS. Three BLUE GROSBEAKS were still around their nesting area at the
Calverton Grasslands last Sunday.
To phone in reports on Long Island call Tony Lauro at (631) 734-4126 or
call Tom Burke at (914) 967-4922.
