He made some sounds I had not heard them make before. A very accomidating bird. Also had a first for me there, at least three Whip-poor-wills calling just after dark. Didn't know they were nesting there. Suppose they might have been passing through, but they seemed to be on territory. Nice. Also had two species of a family of birds we're not allowed ot mention here.

Exceedingly rare for N.Y. County, even while regular and fully-expected in other parts of the same city. Thanks to D. Karlson for the report of this special find, on May 13th. At least one Summer Tanager was again found in Central Park on May 13, and May 14, following on the series of sightings, most with accompanying photos, of the species there and elsewhere in Manhattan and the county already this month. The recent sightings noted from Central have pertained to plumages of young male or males. Two Caspian Terns were reported from the Hudson River waterfront off the lower west side of Manhattan with accompanying photos by A. Cunningham, on May 15th. Some of the Empidonax-genus Flycatchers are showing - and calling or singing, importantly, for better chances of positive ID on many of these birds. Willow Flycatchers are among these, as well as ongoing Least Flycatchers, but also at least a few more Acadian Flycatchers and,</description></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSbirds-L/2439128</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 May 2024 19:20:14 -0500</pubDate><title>[nysbirds-l] Central Park NYC, Mon.

Just some highlights are featured below, with over 160 species of birds having occurred in this county in recent days, and with more than 120 of those just within and over Central Park in Manhattan. Central Park features for a good number of recent highlights - perhaps top amongst these, even if surely annual of occurrence, was a sometimes-singing BICKNELLS Thrush, in the Ramble area of Central, on May 11 and found by Benjamin Van Doren, for all other many observers to admire later that day, sometimes going silent but fairly obliging for views. Scores and scores of observers to this much-hope-to-see-and-hear species. A further addition to Blue Grosbeak sightings for this county came on May 9 at Central Park, with a well noted adult male seen there, albeit not seen by many or in subsequent days at the site.

City - The singing male Cerulean Warbler at the north woods area of the park on Thursday, May 9th was seen by a fair number who were in that area, or tried later in the day for it. The visibility factors now, even for various birds which may be singing well, is tough with the now summer-like extent of leaf-out in almost all of the many types of trees growing there, and more generally as to early May leafout in the broader region, particularly where less affected by cooler marine air. Thanks to all who were sharing reports of this always-much-hoped-for species, for N.Y. City. This was at least the 2nd Cerulean male to be found on Manhattan island so far this May, or just within the past week here. Many other migrants also continue to be seen, far more than 100 species each day even just for Central Park, including some flyover sightings from there.

City - Saturday, May 4th - A female-plumaged Summer Tanager was located in the far-north woods of the park on Saturday morning, continuing for multiple observers thru the day. Thanks to all there for helping some keep up with this bird, in the increasingly leafy environs. Also seen early Saturday, just a bit west, by a separate group of observers, was an Eastern Bluebird, a species which is less regular in the month of May here, and when found at all, often by very keen observers, perhaps familiar with the sometimes subtle call of a passage migrant.

Saturday, May 4th - A singing male CERULEAN Warbler is likely the first of spring -for the county- to be fully documented this year, with thanks to Jack Woodhull via M. Waldron, the warbler in the so-called Cabrini Woods which is part of Fort Tryon Parks woods, south of the main south gate of the park and alongside Cabrini Blvd. - access is both along the east edge of the woods simply from the sidewalk there, however an inside-the-park runs into that woods from the main park gate just south of the Heather Garden of Fort Tryon Park. It is fairly likely that this warbler will linger in that general area for at least all of Saturday. Plenty of other migrants are in the area, including multiple species of migrant warblers. For the Cerulean, listen carefully as this warbler was singing well, and try the areas south of the southernmost entry gate to Fort Tryon Park on the paths. It is a safe area to walk in daytime, and other birders have been on-scene. - - - N.B., we are in the high-peak time for golden-winged warbler passage, and that species has been arriving in nearby breeding areas of southeastern NY state, and being seen in some migration hotspots as well, lately. ....

With what may well be a first photo-documented record of the species in the county, an American White Pelican was a slightly-unexpected -!!- visitor to the New York harbor on May 2nd, as seen and reported by Wes Thompson, a Texas birder taking the fast Staten Island ferry late in the day on Thursdsay, across the harbor and then reporting via eBird, and at that point realizing how rare for this county and more-generally, for this city, this sighting is. Followed up on by a party of intrepid N.Y. County resident birders on Friday morning, the American White Pelican was seen and well-photographed very early on Friday May 3rd, thanks to that initial find and reporting via eBird from May 2nd. While moving from N.Y.

This individual, seen and photographed in low light, was noted in eBird and thus the photos stored in the Macaulay Library archives, for that date.

There was apparently no re-find of a Prothonotary on April 30th in the county. A singing male Yellow-throated Warbler was still in Central Park into Monday, 4-29 although by that day, many birders were on to still-more-arriving migrant species-to-see, after many many hundreds of watchers had observed that individual Yellow-throated Warbler in prior days in that park.

City area certainly had its share of that fresh passage and arrival of birds. Many species which overwinter in the neotropical regions of the hemisphere came along in good to very good numbers, and many species also reached far, far beyond the local area, on passage and in arrivals noted from multiple eastern states. In some areas, there may be have been modest or even good fallout-type of conditions on the early morning of April 29th, with, in some areas, some light fog in the late-late-night to the morning of Monday, 4-29.

County, NYC - 21 warbler spp., incl. in Central Park, and other birds</title><description>On Saturday, April 27th a minimum of 21 migratory American warbler species were seen in New York County, which includes Manhattan, Governors Island, and Randalls Island. All of those 21 warbler species were seen in Central Park on Saturday, collectively from hundreds of observers and all of the day from sunrise to end of day. Many species of migrants also were noted far more widely in dozens of other parks, greenspaces and other sites in the county. The least common here of those many warblers was the Yellow-throated Warbler at Central Park, which was viewed and often photographed by a total of far more than 100 observers for the one day on Saturday - and by yet others on Friday. A Pileated Woodpecker found on Governors Island was by-far the most unusual species seen in any part of the county on Saturday, with multiple reports in eBird for that and also many photos and some video. Within the county, the species has been most regular over many decades in spring, and most often, if seen at all, in the northernmost part of the county, ie the north end of Manhattan, where still a definite rarity in any year. More than 125 species of wild and native birds were seen in the county on Saturday 4-27, and at least 102 of those species were also observed in or passing over Central Park on the day.

City - On Saturday, April 27th a singing male Yellow-throated Warbler was continuing within the Ramble area of Central Park in same areas as for Friday. There were at least 18 additional warbler species in the same park for Saturday, 27th. More reports in due course for the good ongoing migration, which is occurring widely now. A Little Blue Heron that had been in the Ramble - lakeshore - for Friday morning was seen to fly off by midday of Friday, high and perhaps exiting Manhattan completely by Friday. Those who came seeking that heron later in the day added to the observers of the above-noted warbler which many ultimately saw well, at various hours thru all of Friday, and still present for Saturday. ... Elsewhere in Manhattan and again going back to Friday 4-26, an adult male Blue Grosbeak that appears to be a bit injured or ill was again seen and well photographed in the areas it has been lingering, on the lower east side East Village area and sometimes in private property, where NO one should trespass for any reasons. That bird has been looked at in-situ by qualified rehabbers yet it is mobile and has continued to feed.

Heron (rare there), rep't. of Yellow-thr. Warbler, many other migrants</title><description>Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - On Friday morning, April 26th, a LITTLE Blue Heron was a fine surprise in this park, at the south end of the Ramble and east of landmark Bow Bridge, not unexpected at all in a number of other sites in N.Y. City, but decidedly rare for the island of Manhattan over the long history of bird-observation there. Many many observers of this breeding plumaged adult bird, with many more arriving to look in the afternoon of Friday. Thanks to Liam Brock for this great new find for the spring season - and it looks for this modern era, also. Plenty of nice photos will be found of this lovely heron in the Macaulay Library archives, via many eBird reports. NB, this may well be the first of this heron species at Central Park to be documented for the -modern and eBird era, with earlier sightings, even -if- photographed or videotaped and that with actual tape ! - seemingly not in any historical databases. It is not the first occurrence of the species in Central Park, historically. In a period of extensive non-work over a period of time at The Meer area in the parks northern end, in the 1990s, there were many unusual and interesting migrant and other birds stopping in, with relatively little to near-zero visual documentation on some species occurring then, at a piece of temporary, but not brief, bird and wildlife habitat in a site which was very long ago, a part of</description></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSbirds-L/2438104</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Apr 2024 01:15:03 -0500</pubDate><title>[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC - Thurs., 4/25 - Am.Bittern, 20+ Warbler species, more migrants</title><description>Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y.

At not-far-away Riverside Park on Manhattans west edge, and north of W. 110 St., an adult male BLUE Grosbeak in healthy active condition was a very nice find by some of the parks crew, and with T. Bolster, crew who work in that sector of that attractive linear park, which has some great old trees and patches of other habitats. That grosbeak was also seen by additional birders and well photographed into the afternoon on Thursday. The Riverside Park Grosbeak was mainly seen just a bit west of the eastern retaining or perimeter wall, from the western-most path within the park proper, and both up in leafing out trees as well as foraging at low and ground levels at times. ... Back in Central Park -only- a minimum of twenty migratory American warblers were found on Thursday, with at least a few being new reports of the spring in the county.
