Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for *Friday, June 14th 2024*
at 11pm. The highlights of today’s tape are AMERICAN FLAMINGO,
BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING-DUCK, SANDWICH and ARCTIC TERNS, WHITE-FACED IBIS,
PACIFIC LOON, WILSON’S PHALAROPE, YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER, BLUE GROSBEAK,
SUMMER TANAGER and more.

After wandering about the northeast for a short time, by Monday the
AMERICAN FLAMINGO had returned to Georgica Pond in Wainscott where it has
remained through today. Since Georgica Pond is surrounded by private
property except along the beachfront the best approach for looking for the
Flamingo seems to be parking in a small lot at the end of Beach Lane west
of the pond and walking east on the beach to view the pond. The issue there
is the potential for a parking ticket so best to be there early before the
beach crowd starts building up.

Two BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING-DUCKS found on the East Pond at Jamaica Bay
Wildlife Refuge last Sunday continued around the pond’s south end through
Thursday but today flew over to the south end of the West Pond. An adult
WHITE-FACED IBIS has also been noted occasionally along the southeast
shoreline of the East Pond starting on Monday and Tuesday this area
attracting a revolving set of Ibis constantly coming in and staying for a
short while. The southern section of the East Pond has also produced a
couple of sightings of LEAST BITTERN usually in flight and some lingering
shorebirds including 50 or more WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS gathered there
Wednesday. A female COMMON EIDER remains on the West Pond and one or two
GULL-BILLED TERNS continue to appear at both the West and East Ponds.

An adult SANDWICH TERN was spotted Tuesday morning at the Fire Island Old
Inlet in Bellport Bay west of Smith Point County Park and single ARCTIC
TERNS were photographed at Nickerson Beach last Sunday, this an adult,
followed by an immature at Cupsogue Beach County Park on Tuesday.

A CASPIAN TERN in Pelham Bay Park’s Orchard Beach last Saturday was
followed by one today flying over the Cliffdale Farm’s section of Teatown
Reservation in northern Westchester.

PACIFIC LOON was photographed and identified as it flew by a boat off Jones
Beach last Saturday.

A WILSON’S PHALAROPE was found Sunday at Nickerson Beach and unexpected was
an EASTERN WHIP-POOR-WILL calling at Jones Beach Sunday evening.

ACADIAN FLYCATCHERS were on Saturday at Heckscher State Park and Connetquot
River State Park and Wednesday and Thursday in Prospect Park and
YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER continues at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great
River.

A SUMMER TANAGER was spotted in Cunningham Park Monday and single BLUE
GROSBEAKS were present at Bayswater Point State Park including Saturday and
at Cliffdale Farm on Tuesday while nesting pairs are also in residence out
in the Calverton area.

The Captree Summer Bird Count last Saturday netted 129 species including an
OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER and YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER at the Bayard Cutting
Arboretum and a healthy gathering of nesting birds at Democrat Point with
good numbers of COMMON and LEAST TERNS and BLACK SKIMMERS plus a few
ROSEATE TERNS.

The Greenwich-Stamford Summer Bird Count including much of eastern
Westchester recorded 130 species last weekend including WHITE-RUMPED
SANDPIPER, ACADIAN FLYCATCHER and ALDER FLYCATCHERS, HOODED WARBLER and
count period BLUE GROSBEAK.

[~BEGIN RBA TAPE~]

Greetings! This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, June 7, 2024 at
11:00 pm.

The highlights of today’s tape are AMERICAN FLAMINGO, pelagic trip results
including ATLANTIC PUFFIN, DOVEKIE and THICK-BILLED MURRE, BAND-RUMPED
STORM-PETREL and NORTHERN FULMAR as well as FEA’S PETREL and BLACK-CAPPED
PETREL in New Jersey waters, plus BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING-DUCK, MISSISSIPPI
KITE, BROWN PELICAN, SANDHILL CRANE, KING EIDER, HUDSONIAN and MARBLED
GODWITS, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK and more.

The adult AMERICAN FLAMINGO found at Georgica Pond in Wainscott last Friday
spent all of Saturday at that location but then moved on, quite possibly
the same bird appearing Sunday up at Dennis on Cape Cod.  A few subsequent
scattered but unconfirmed sightings at various sites between Massachusetts
and Long Island after Sunday led to Wednesday, when a FLAMINGO (conceivably
the same one) was spotted well out in the marsh north of Cedar Beach
Marina, staying there until dark but not seen Thursday or today. Where will
it appear next?

A pelagic trip aboard the American Princess left Brooklyn Sunday night and
returned the next evening.  The boat diverted early Monday morning into New
Jersey waters due to stormy weather and fortuitously encountered two FEA’S
PETRELS and a BLACK-CAPPED PETREL before steering back towards Hudson
Canyon.  With improving weather, the trip tallied a PARASITIC JAEGER, 3
ATLANTIC PUFFINS, 8 DOVEKIES and a THICK-BILLED MURRE, 588 WILSON’S, 1
LEACH’S and 2 BAND-RUMPED STORM-PETRELS, 5 NORTHERN FULMARS, 9 CORY’S, 68
GREAT, 1 AUDUBON’S and 135 SOOTY SHEARWATERS, 7 NORTHERN GANNETS and a
BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER, among others.  Certainly a major highlight were the
Cetaceans, including 10 North Atlantic Right Whales as well as one Humpback
Whale and some Risso’s, Striped, Offshore Bottlenose and Common Dolphins.

A BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING DUCK spotted last Sunday on a pond at the Matrix
Global Logistics Park in Bloomfield on Staten Island was seen only up to
Tuesday.

Two sightings of MISSISSIPPI KITE featured one photographed while perched
briefly at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great River last Saturday and
one flying over the Cliffdale Farm section of Teatown Reservation in
northern Westchester today.

A BROWN PELICAN was spotted flying off Fire Island last Tuesday, and on
Wednesday three SANDHILL CRANES were reported moving past Fort Wadsworth on
Staten Island, while two female KING EIDERS were photographed off Great
Gull Island Wednesday.

An HUDSONIAN GODWIT was among the many shorebirds gathered at Old Inlet on
Fire Island west of Smith Point County Park last Sunday, where other birds
included a WHIMBREL, 11 WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS, 10 LESSER BLACK-BACKED
GULLS and three ROSEATE TERNS.  A MARBLED GODWIT was reported from Cupsogue
Beach County Park Monday, with two WHIMBREL and a GULL-BILLED TERN noted
there Tuesday.

A MANX SHEARWATER and many WILSON’S STORM-PETRELS were present off Robert
Moses State Park Wednesday, and SOOTY SHEARWATERS have also begun to appear
offshore.  ROYAL TERN numbers are increasing along the coast, and an
occasional CASPIAN TERN included one reported at Nickerson Beach Tuesday.

A RED-HEADED WOODPECKER was still in the gardens at Jamaica Bay Wildlife
Refuge Tuesday.

Passerine migrants recently have featured OLIVE-SIDED, ACADIAN, ALDER and
YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHERS as well as some MOURNING WARBLERS, including
four in Bryant Park in Manhattan Monday, these hopefully able to continue
moving on.

SUMMER TANAGERS last weekend were noted in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn
and at the Preston Pond Complex out in Calverton, while single BLUE
GROSBEAKS were photographed in Westchester County at Rockefeller State Park
Preserve Wednesday and at Marshlands Conservancy in Rye Thursday.

[~BEGIN RBA TAPE~]

Greetings! This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 31,
2024 at 11:00 pm.

The highlights of today’s tape are AMERICAN FLAMINGO, BLACK-THROATED
GRAY WARBLER, BLACK-NECKED STILT, BROWN PELICAN, HARLEQUIN DUCK,
RED-NECKED PHALAROPE, BLACK-HEADED GULL, YELLOW BREASTED CHAT,
PROTHONOTARY, KENTUCKY and YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS, SUMMER TANAGER,
BLUE GROSBEAK, and more.

And adult AMERICAN FLAMINGO was found today out on Eastern Long Island
at Georgica Pond in Wainscott, where it has continued into this
evening.  This residential area has quite restricted access, and the
pond is generally viewable only from the Atlantic Ocean beachfront.
Parking is very limited, with small lots on the east side of Georgica
Pond off Lily Pond Lane and on the west side off Beach Lane, but the
restrictions on these lots are not currently known.  Either lot
requires a hike along the beach to the pond. This would be a first New
York State record if accepted by NYSARC.

A BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER, singing an odd song for this species,
was found Wednesday at Heckscher State Park around Forty Foot Road and
ultimately photographed as it wandered about.  It was only heard a
couple of times early Thursday morning but then disappeared.  A
KENTUCKY WARBLER first heard at the same location on Tuesday was
confirmed visually on Wednesday and still singing there today.

Two kayakers out in Jamaica Bay on Sunday spotted a BLACK-NECKED STILT
flying by Ruffle Bar southwest of the West Pond at Jamaica Bay
Wildlife Refuge and managed to get a few photos before the bird
disappeared; perhaps this is the individual present recently in
Connecticut.

An adult BROWN PELICAN was photographed Wednesday flying west off Fire
Island south of Shirley.

A female HARLEQUIN DUCK was still present off Sunset Cove Park on the
south side off Broad Channel on Sunday, while excitement at Jamaica
Bay Wildlife Refuge just to the north featured a RED-NECKED PHALAROPE
continuing at least to Saturday on the West Pond, where a female
COMMON EIDER also remains.  A RED-HEADED WOODPECKER was still around
the north end of the South Garden today, and four GULL-BILLED TERNS
present Saturday on Yellow Bar Hassock out in the Bay are likely the
source of the birds seen occasionally at the Refuge.

An immature BLACK-HEADED GULL was spotted Tuesday on the bar off the
Jones Beach West End Coast Guard Station.

Among the TERNS, a CASPIAN at Great Kills Park on Staten Island
Saturday was followed by two at nearby Wolfe’s Pond Park Tuesday, a
BLACK was seen at Nickerson Beach from Sunday through Wednesday, and
some ROYALS included four at Nickerson Sunday and six at Mecox Bay
Tuesday.

Several OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHERS were noted during the week, as were
such Empidonax as YELLOW-BELLIED, ACADIAN, and ALDER FLYCATCHERS.

A YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT was heard Sunday in fields south of Water Mill,
while rarer WARBLERS for the week included a PROTHONOTARY reported at
Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Saturday, a KENTUCKY in Prospect Park
Wednesday, and a YELLOW-THROATED at Pine Neck Sanctuary in East Quogue
Sunday.

SUMMER TANAGERS were reported in Central Park and Maple Swamp County
Park in Flanders on Sunday and at the Preston Ponds Complex in
Calverton today, while BLUE GROSBEAKS were noted Monday at Randalls
Island and yesterday at Heckscher State Park as well as out in
Calverton.

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 24th, 2024 at 11 pm. The highlights of today’s tape are SANDWICH and ARCTIC TERNS, PACIFIC LOON, MISSISSIPPI KITE, CHUCK-WILL’S-WIDOW, RED-NECKED PHALAROPE and AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER, HARLEQUIN DUCK, GULL-BILLED and CASPIAN TERNS, YELLOW-THROATED and KENTUCKY WARBLERS, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK and more.

With migration winding down and overall numbers continuing to be on the low side some terns are now showing up to make things more interesting. This morning at Nickerson Beach and Lido Beach an adult SANDWICH TERN paid a brief visit to the eastern Black Skimmer and Common Tern nesting area before moving on. Other terns occurring there include ROSEATE and GULL-BILLED with two early ROYAL TERNS reported Tuesday. Nickerson has in recent Springs been a good location to search for ARCTIC TERNS with the only reports so far this Spring has been an adult photographed last Sunday at Plumb Beach in Brooklyn.

A surprise last Saturday was a PACIFIC LOON photographed as it flew by Randall’s Island as part of a small COMMON LOON flight.

MISSISSIPPI KITES appeared this week over three NYC parks. The first a subadult spotted over Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Monday evening followed shortly thereafter by presumably the same one over nearby Green-wood Cemetery and then one occurred Thursday over Forest Park in Queens.

Rather unexpected was a CHUCK-WILL’S-WIDOW recorded singing for a short while last Monday evening at Hilltop Hanover Farm and Environmental Center in Yorktown Heights one of very few Westchester records.

A variety of interesting birds at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge have included a nicely plumaged RED-NECKED PHALAROPE around the south end of the West Pond from Monday through today. With other shorebirds there including 2 WHIMBREL out on the bay Sunday as well as WHITE-RUMPED and PECTORAL SANDPIPERS also present on the West Pond today. GULL-BILLED and CASPIAN TERNS have been reported there recently while a female COMMON EIDER was still there last Sunday with a female HARLEQUIN DUCK continuing off Sunset Cove Park just south of the refuge at least to Wednesday. A lingering RED-HEADED WOODPECKER was also seen in the South Garden today.

Breeding plumaged AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER was photographed at the Lido Beach Passive Nature Area last Monday.

Among the flycatchers a few OLIVE-SIDED include one at Strack Pond at the west end of Forest Park Saturday and one at Green-wood Cemetery Wednesday. Some currently migrating species including ACADIAN, ALDER and YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHERS, BICKNELL’S and GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSHES and PHILADELPHIA VIREO can require extra scrutiny to ensure proper identification.

A KENTUCKY WARBLER lingered on Governors Island from Saturday at least through Wednesday and YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER continues at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great River while MOURNING WARBLERS have been found in several parks.

A few SUMMER TANAGERS include birds in Central Park last week and Forest Park Wednesday and Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay Thursday and a BLUE GROSBEAK was at Green-wood Cemetery last Saturday others continuing out around Calverton.

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 17th, 2024 at 11 pm. The highlights of today’s tape are WESTERN TANAGER, YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD, HARLEQUIN DUCK, RED-HEADED WOODPECKER, LARK SPARROW, YELLOW-THROATED, GOLDEN-WINGED and KENTUCKY WARBLERS, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK, other Spring migrants and more.

Not a dynamic week thanks to the weather but a male WESTERN TANAGER was found and photographed Wednesday afternoon in Hudson River Park in the Chelsea section of downtown Manhattan where it was also reported calling early Thursday morning but could not be relocated thereafter.

A YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD found last Friday in Queens was still present today at Sunset Cove Park which is located off Cross Bay Boulevard on the southwest side of Broad Channel. The female HARLEQUIN DUCKS spotted offshore at this park last week has continued there at least through Thursday. Another female HARLEQUIN DUCK was seen last Sunday off Robert Moses State Park where a seawatch also produced a PARASITIC JAEGER and a SOOTY SHEARWATER plus 15 LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS and 5 ROSEATE TERNS. Two CASPIAN TERNS were spotted off Breezy Point Tuesday and 2 also reported off the lower West Side of Manhattan Tuesday and Wednesday.

A STILT SANDPIPER visited the dune pools at Jones Beach West End field 2 at least to Tuesday joined there by a WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER.

A RED-HEADED WOODPECKER appeared in Central Park last Saturday with another in Manhattan noted Tuesday and Thursday in a small park east of 1st Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets. Another RED-HEADED spent the week at least to Thursday in the North Garden at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge with one also at Connetquot River State Park on Tuesday. They also continue along the Paumanok Trail near Jones Pond in Manorville.

A LARK SPARROW was found Monday on the East Pond side of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge and a GRASSHOPPER SPARROW visited Bayswater Point State Park in Queens last Sunday while thrushes now feature a few GRAY-CHEEKED and BICKNELL’S these requiring careful effort for separation.

The flycatcher mix has improved with the arrival of more OLIVE-SIDEDS and was as ACADIAN, ALDER and YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHERS.

A YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER was seen in Green-wood Cemetery yesterday and this morning and a GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER visited Prospect Park last Saturday while today single KENTUCKY WARBLERS were found in Cabrini Woods at the south end of Fort Tryon Park in northern Manhattan and at Strack Pond at the western end of Forest Park in Queens. A good variety of other warblers this week, many in fairly low numbers, did feature some TENNESSEE, a few MOURNING and HOODED, some CAPE MAY, BAY-BREASTED and BLACKBURNIAN and increasing BLACKPOLL, CANADA and WILSON’S.

Several SUMMER TANAGERS this week included multiples in Central Park with others in Forest Park Monday and Inwood Hill Park and on Staten Island today as well as a few on eastern Long Island and appropriate breeding areas. BLUE GROSBEAKS have also settled into desired eastern Long Island nesting territories so please make sure not to disturb these birds during this critical time in their life-cycle.

[~BEGIN RBA TAPE~]

Greetings! This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 10,
2024 at 11:00 pm.

The highlights of today’s tape are SWALLOW-TAILED KITE, AMERICAN WHITE
PELICAN, YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD, HARLEQUIN DUCK, ICELAND GULL,
GULL-BILLED, BLACK and CASPIAN TERNS, PROTHONOTARY, YELLOW-THROATED
and KENTUCKY WARBLERS, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK, DICKCISSEL and
more.

Following last week’s two brief sightings, another SWALLOW-TAILED KITE
appeared this week, this over Brooklyn’s Marine Park Salt Marsh Nature
Center last Saturday, fortunately staying in sight long enough to be
photographed before disappearing.

The AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN lingering in Upper New York Bay continued
to be seen south of Governors Island, often from the Staten Island
ferry, until Tuesday but not thereafter.

A female YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD was found today at Sunset Cove Park
in Queens, this new park off Crossbay Boulevard on the south side of
Broad Channel.  This was also the site for a HARLEQUIN DUCK just
offshore there in Jamaica Bay on Tuesday and Wednesday.

An ICELAND was still present Monday off Dune Road in the Tiana Beach
area west of the Ponquogue Bridge.

At Nickerson Beach activity has been picking up recently with reports
of ROSEATE, BLACK and GULL-BILLED TERNS, the latter peaking with nine
there last Sunday.

Single CASPIAN TERNS were spotted at Hempstead Lake State Park last
Saturday and at Playland Park in Rye today.  And pelagic activity has
also begun, with a PARASITIC JAEGER as well as two BLACK TERNS off
Robert Moses State Park on Wednesday, these following two or more
SOOTY SHEARWATERS spotted from the Staten Island Ferry and off Staten
Island in New York Harbor last Monday, when another BLACK TERN
occurred off Governors Island.

A WESTERN CATTLE EGRET appeared Thursday in Patchogue at the terminal
for the ferry over to Watch Hill, Rhode Island, while a GRASSHOPPER
SPARROW was in Inwood Hill Park to Monday.

A PROTHONOTARY WARBLER on Randalls Island last Sunday was followed by
Wednesday sightings at both Alley Pond Park and at Floyd Bennett
Field.

Besides the continuing birds at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great
River, other YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS were spotted at nearby
Connetquot River State Park as well as in Prospect Park last Saturday
and on Captree Island Wednesday.  A KENTUCKY WARBLER was present last
weekend at Conference House Park on Staten Island, and another was
reported at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Monday.

Among the many other WARBLER species currently moving through, weather

Greetings! This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 10, 2024 at 11:00 pm.

The highlights of today’s tape are SWALLOW-TAILED KITE, AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN, YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD, HARLEQUIN DUCK, ICELAND GULL, GULL-BILLED, BLACK and CASPIAN TERNS, PROTHONOTARY, YELLOW-THROATED and KENTUCKY WARBLERS, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK, DICKCISSEL and more.

Following last week’s two brief sightings, another SWALLOW-TAILED KITE appeared this week, this over Brooklyn’s Marine Park Salt Marsh Nature Center last Saturday, fortunately staying in sight long enough to be photographed before disappearing.

The AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN lingering in Upper New York Bay continued to be seen south of Governors Island, often from the Staten Island ferry, until Tuesday but not thereafter.

A female YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD was found today at Sunset Cove Park in Queens, this new park off Crossbay Boulevard on the south side of Broad Channel. This was also the site for a HARLEQUIN DUCK just offshore there in Jamaica Bay on Tuesday and Wednesday.

An ICELAND was still present Monday off Dune Road in the Tiana Beach area west of the Ponquogue Bridge.

At Nickerson Beach activity has been picking up recently with reports of ROSEATE, BLACK and GULL-BILLED TERNS, the latter peaking with nine there last Sunday.

Single CASPIAN TERNS were spotted at Hempstead Lake State Park last Saturday and at Playland Park in Rye today. And pelagic activity has also begun, with a PARASITIC JAEGER as well as two BLACK TERNS off Robert Moses State Park on Wednesday, these following two or more SOOTY SHEARWATERS spotted from the Staten Island Ferry and off Staten Island in New York Harbor last Monday, when another BLACK TERN occurred off Governors Island.

A WESTERN CATTLE EGRET appeared Thursday in Patchogue at the terminal for the ferry over to Watch Hill, Rhode Island, while a GRASSHOPPER SPARROW was in Inwood Hill Park to Monday.

A PROTHONOTARY WARBLER on Randalls Island last Sunday was followed by Wednesday sightings at both Alley Pond Park and at Floyd Bennett Field.

Besides the continuing birds at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great River, other YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS were spotted at nearby Connetquot River State Park as well as in Prospect Park last Saturday and on Captree Island Wednesday. A KENTUCKY WARBLER was present last weekend at Conference House Park on Staten Island, and another was reported at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Monday.

Among the many other WARBLER species currently moving through, weather permitting, have been single CERULEANS at Fort Tryon Park last Saturday and in Central Park Thursday, a MOURNING in Central Park Wednesday, and a few ORANGE-CROWNEDS, including in Central and Forest Parks and at Jamaica Bay and Hempstead Lake.

SUMMER TANAGERS were present in Central Park, with two recently, as well as in Forest Park Tuesday and Pelham Bay Park Thursday, and BLUE GROSBEAKS have returned to Calverton, with one also appearing in Green-Wood Cemetery Thursday.

A DICKCISSEL was noted flying over Astoria Wednesday morning, and one was photographed at the Elizabeth A. Morton NWR in Noyack today.

Greetings! This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, May 3, 2024 at 11:00 pm.

The highlights of today’s tape are SWALLOW-TAILED KITE, AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN, THICK-BILLED MURRE, RED CROSSBILL, CLAY-COLORED SPARROW, PROTHONOTARY, YELLOW-THROATED and KENTUCKY WARBLERS, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK and more, including an extralimital NEOTROPIC CORMORANT. |

With spring migration starting to accelerate, among the expected arrivals there is often a surprise or two.  Unfortunately, one of these, a SWALLOW-TAILED KITE, was seen only very briefly in northern Westchester County, first appearing over Yorktown Heights late Tuesday afternoon and then again Wednesday morning moving east just south of Croton Falls.

Somewhat more accommodating has been an AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN spotted Thursday in Upper New York Bay, where it was drifting and flying between Governors Island and the New Jersey side of the Bay; it continued visiting both States today. Taking a trip on the Staten Island ferry proved successful for some, as did scanning from The Battery in lower Manhattan or from appropriate Brooklyn sites providing views of the Bay.  It was last seen heading into New Jersey waters this evening.

And on a slightly more extralimital note, a NEOTROPIC CORMORANT in breeding. plumage was spotted yesterday afternoon on the Hudson River up in Newburgh, Orange County.  It was at the Ferry terminal, one of the sites this species has been visiting the last couple of years, but there were no reports today.

A THICK-BILLED MURRE, perhaps not an entirely happy individual, was present Tuesday and Wednesday off the Marina at Wantagh Park just west of the Wantagh Parkway, but it has not been reported since.

A CASPIAN TERN was spotted from Prospect Park Lake on Monday, and another first noted at Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge in Yaphank last Saturday was still in that area yesterday.  An AMERICAN BITTERN was also spotted from Prospect Park Lake Monday.

A PILEATED WOODPECKER on Governors Island last weekend was certainly unusual there, while RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS continue at Croton Point Park and along the Paumanok Trail near Jones Pond in Manorville, with another at Ridgewood Reservoir in Queens Sunday.

A RED CROSSBILL was also recorded flying over the Paumanok Trail on Thursday, and a few PINE SISKINS and PURPLE FINCHES continue to move through.|

A CLAY-COLORED SPARROW has been present at Strawberry Fields in Central Park Thursday and today, and a GRASSHOPPER SPARROW was found in Green-Wood Cemetery today.

PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS were present in Central Park Monday and Tuesday, in Prospect Park Monday, and at Brooklyn Bridge Park Tuesday and Wednesday, and several YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS included singles during the week in Central, Prospect, Alley, Inwood Hill and Forest Parks, Oakland Lake and Green-Wood Cemetery, as well as continuing at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum.  KENTUCKY WARBLERS were reported from Tompkins Square Park Monday and at a Brooklyn Community Garden at East 4th Street Wednesday, while other arriving WARBLERS have included BAY-BREASTED, BLACKBURNIAN, BLACKPOLL, CANADA and WILSON’S, plus an ORANGE-CROWNED at Hempstead Lake State Park today.

SUMMER TANAGERS were reported again this week from Central and Prospect Parks, Green-Wood Cemetery and Jones Beach West End, while six reports of BLUE GROSBEAK included. birds at Fort Tryon, Owl’s Head and Fort Greene Parks, up in North Salem in Westchester and out in Calverton.  

Among recent arrivals have been EASTERN WHIP-POOR-WILL, LEAST BITTERN, SWAINSON’S THRUSH and NELSON’S and LINCOLN SPARROWS.

Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for *Friday, April 26th,
2024* at 11 pm. The highlights of today’s tape are LAZULI BUNTING,
SWAINSON’S WARBLER, HARLEQUIN DUCK, RED-NECKED GREBE, WESTERN CATTLE EGRET,
PROTHONOTARY, YELLOW-THROATED, KENTUCKY and CERULEAN WARBLERS, SUMMER
TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK and much more.

Thanks to a posting on Facebook the presence of a LAZULI BUNTING coming to
feeders in a residential section of Flanders just south of Riverhead became
known and as of last Sunday birders were permitted to visit this site and
enjoy this colorful young male as it made periodic appearances there.
Visitors continued through Monday afternoon but unfortunately were not
repeated Tuesday or thereafter. The homeowners and surrounding neighbors
deserve a hardy thank you for welcoming the throng of birders into their
neighborhood. This handsome bird will constitute a second New York State
record after acceptance by NYSARC.

A SWAINSON’S WARBLER found on the 19th at Brooklyn Bridge Park was still
present there Thursday but was not reported today. On Thursday the bird was
foraging actively and would sing occasionally in the overgrown triangle
next to the Pier 5 uplands lawn just south of the public restrooms.
Hopefully, it might remain there.

Among lingering waterfowl, a black-type BRANT was reported Monday out of
Captree State Park and a HARLEQUIN DUCK was still off Orient Point County
Park on Monday. Three RED-NECKED GREBES were still in the waters off Dead
Horse Point just west of Floyd Bennett Field on Saturday and a Staten
Island CASPIAN TERN was at Wolfe’s Pond Park on Wednesday and Freshkills
Park the next day.

The AMERICAN BITTERN in the Central Park Ramble on Wednesday and Thursday
was followed by an even more unusual LITTLE BLUE HERON in the Ramble today
and a WESTERN CATTLE EGRET visited West Mill Pond in Forge River back on
Wednesday.

RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS continue along the Paumanok Trail near Jones Pond in
Manorville and at Croton Point Park.

Single PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS reported one continuing in Prospect Park to
last Saturday, one visiting Alley Pond Park Monday, and one Wednesday
around Turtle Pond in Central Park. YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS continue at
the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great River and one visited Central Park’s
Ramble today. Also today a KENTUCKY WARBLER appeared at Clove Lakes Park on
Staten Island while a CERULEAN WARBLER appeared at the Rockefeller State
Park Preserve in Westchester Monday.

Several reports of SUMMER TANAGER included two birds in Central Park
Thursday as well as singles in Prospect Park Wednesday through today, at
Jones Beach West End Coast Guard Station Tuesday through today and on
Wednesday in Green-wood Cemetery and in Wantagh. Several BLUE GROSBEAKS
have included one moving around Manhattan’s East Village through today, one
in Riverside Park Thursday, one continuing to Thursday in Brooklyn’s Fort
Greene Park, one in Heckscher State Park Thursday and one in Connetquot
River State Park at least to Thursday and one at Montauk’s Camp Hero Sunday.

Other seasonal migrants included YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO, RUBY-THROATED
HUMMINGBIRD, LEAST FLYCATCHER, RED-EYED VIREO, BALTIMORE ORIOLE and SCARLET
TANAGER plus such warblers as BLUE-WINGED, TENNESSEE, CAPE MAY, MAGNOLIA,
BLACK-THROATED BLUE, and BLACK-THROATED GREEN.
