Greetings, Peter
We managed to squeeze in a 3 hour and 20 minute partial tour of Green-Wood Cemetery today between rain drops. We saw 43 species overall (link to my checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S135608057), so still a bit slow for this date. But many more on the way. Looking forward to seeing and hearing them all.
My thanks to all who participated.
Best regards, Ed

BEGIN TAPE
Greetings. This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for *Friday, April 28th
2023* at 11pm. The highlights of today's tape are ANHINGA, SWAINSON'S
WARBLER, PAINTED BUNTING, BLACK-HEADED and ICELAND GULLS, AMERICAN
GOLDEN-PLOVER, PROTHONOTARY and YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS, EVENING GROSBEAK
and RED CROSSBILL, SUMMER TANAGER, BLUE GROSBEAK and more.
Despite quite poor weather for migration this week New York State did
benefit with the arrival of an unprecedented 22 ANHINGAS appearing last
Saturday up in Rome in Oneida County and as those birds dispersed to
unknown sites up north on Tuesday one was found on Prospect Park Lake in
Brooklyn often staying partially hidden on Three Sisters Island the bird
could be viewed from the peninsula and though taking off on Thursday the
ANHINGA did return to the lake and was still present today at the same
location. Hopefully it will stay through the weekend.
On Tuesday a warbler decently photographed just north of soccer fields in
Veterans Park in East Northport was subsequently identified through the
Internet as a SWAINSON'S WARBLER, always a good find locally. It has not
been seen since.
The PAINTED BUNTING in the north end of Central Park since April 18th was
heard singing last Sunday making it a first year male but unfortunately
that was also the last day it was seen.
An immature BLACK-HEADED GULL was identified Monday in the marshes off
River Road in northwestern Staten Island and on Sunday an ICELAND GULL was
still at Fort Tilden and 7 LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS were counted at the
Breezy Point tip.
An AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER was photographed Saturday at the Lido Beach
Passive Nature Area where a LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER was seen Monday and a
WHIMBREL visited the Timber Point Golf Course East Marina Saturday.
A single CASPIAN TERN was noted at Swan Lake in Patchogue Monday with 2 at
Randall's Island Wednesday and a RED-HEADED WOODPECKER is still in
Brooklyn's Marine Park near the Stewart Street and Avenue T intersection.
A PROTHONOTARY WARBLER was last noted at the Frank Melville Memorial Park
in Setauket on Sunday while a YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER continues at the
Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great River.
The EVENING GROSBEAKS present in Central and Prospect Parks were last noted
on Saturday and Monday respectively while a RED CROSSBILL was still along
the Paumanok Trail in Manorville Tuesday with 2 earlier on Saturday at the
Quogue Wildlife Refuge and later 8 photographed Thursday in the Rocky Point
Pine Barrens State Forest. A male SUMMER TANAGER was photographed nicely in
Prospect Park last Monday and a female BLUE GROSBEAK appeared in Central
Park the next day.
Among the warblers ORANGE-CROWNED were still being seen at at least 4
locations and 5 HOODEDS were reported in Central Park Thursday while other
species arriving locally included BLUE-WINGED, MAGNOLIA, BLACKBURNIAN,
CHESTNUT-SIDED, BLACK-THROATED BLUE and CANADA.
Other migrants also showing up recently have featured YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO,
LEAST and COMMON TERNS, BLACK SKIMMER, WARBLING VIREO, VEERY and SWAINSON'S
THRUSH and INDIGO BUNTING.
To phone in reports, call Tom Burke at (914) 967-4922.

Fly the coop and come back
Today we thought the Anhinga took off for good but the allure of Prospect must've been too strong.
During the morning, Prospects Anhinga preferred its favorite perch at Three Sisters Islands. It did visit Duck island momentarily.
By noon , a birder watched it fly high over the Peninsula meadow, in a northerly course and the feeling was dismay. It looked like our Angina flew the coop.
But nay,late afternoon some good news: the Anhinga came back! At around 430ish, I could see the Anhinga on 3 Sisters easten islans,well seen perched in an oak. Prospect is too good of a place to leave behind.

An Anhinga keeps its promise
To the hopes of birders, Prospect Lake's Anhinga kept its promise to stay another day. For many birders its a lifer, a county and state bird or even curiosity to see a strange looking bird. Whatever the reason, it's a cool bird to see.
Early morning , a report places the Anhinga at the South middle lake islands named 3 Sisters. And there the bird favored this island cluster most of the day. I saw it perched in an oak tree in the northeast section of the eastern island from the south shore,thanks to Max Epstein tweet.
The bird moved around. At one point it flew high into thermal flight but descended back down to earth and Three Sisters. A birder saw it perched next to an Osprey; from this perch the Anhinga even snare a fish. Most views I gather came from the Peninsula thumb.
A last report late in the day mentioned the bird roosting on the western island of Three Sister s on low branches presenting challenging looks for birders. It was best according to birders viewing a distant look from the Peninsula. thumb.
Brooklyn's Anhinga has become a celebrity.

Peter, Dennis-
We had a pleasant, if not terribly birdy maiden Wednesday outing at Brooklyn Bridge Park this morning. 9 birders joined me on an amble through Pier 1 and Pier 3. The Common Raven parents have been sitting outside the nest on the Brooklyn Bridge, but no nestlings have shown themselves yet. Eastern Towhees were most prevalent on both piers, and Savannah Sparrows and Chipping Sparrows showed well on the Pier 3. Just 3 warbler species, but the best is yet to come.
32 species

hi Peter,
great seeing you today!
Radka
ANHINGA movements
Further information after I left details the ANHINGA movements.
After the spot at mainland I relayed, the ANHINGA went back to Duck Island northwest section, a shift from it's north position earlier during the flash mob observation. Then it flew back to Three Sisters islands,landing on an eastern island tree. See a previous tweet photo post below by Meir.
If it sticks around tomorrow morning, focus on these two islands in the eastern lake sector. The Peninsula offers good vantage points. Of course it's up to the bird.
Finger crossed for Wednesday.

Anhinga!
In a most spectacular sighting that adds to Prospect Parks legendary status, this afternoon was quite a treat. It was for me my #300 eBird sighting for Kings County ( though before eBird I had several undocumented records). A Kings County first Anhinga decided to make Prospect its glorious landfall.
At the end of Bobbi Manian's BBC Tuesday walk ,when most of her group left, member Racka Osickova found a stunner: there's an Anhinga perched on Duck Island. There it stayed through 5 pm, enough time for me to see it after I left work 350, thanks to my boss letting me leave early.
From the flash mobs vantage point at the Peninsula tip rustic shelter, the Anhinga was well seen and striking.
After I left 510, a tweet went out it flew. From the west shoreline, Michelle Truong tracked it , and me following her information, both of us saw the water bird land in the water in front of Three Sisters Islands. It alighted though 30 seconds later flew around before landing in a giant oak on the mainland by the lake drain ,near eastern Three Sisters. From that long distance, the bird frontal view was outstanding.
All I can say is Wow!
Thanks to the tweets for everyone to see this great mega rarity bird. It was long overdue for Kings County getting this Southern/ gulf coast bird

Hot vale cashmere, onward home
Popping up with good sightings, the region around and within the Vale Cashmere marks the last section for migrants on their homeward bound breeding territories. And today several good species showed that.
First, the Evening Grosbeak is finally making his move. In the forest between the Vale and Grand Army Plaza park entrance it was spotted in that area. I wouldn't be surprised if it took off tonight for home.
Backtracking abit, the Summer Tanager appeared in a number of spots in the Vale . Following suit, my supervisor mentioned seeing a Scarlet Tanager in the children's pool. I have to get over there to see my spark bird first seen in my spring of 1975, 48 years ago. My ,how the time flies!
In the Vale,reports of Orchard Orioles circulated indicating arrival of this pretty species.
In our neighboring green space Greenwood cemetery, the female Hooded Warbler continues its presence at the yews of southwestern Sylvan Water while Black Vulture was spotted above.

Prospect shines on
Sunday birding in Prospect continues to see old friends and new friends arriving over the weekend.
Among continuing birds --old friends- both Evening Grosbeak and Prothonotary warbler remarkably stuck around. The Grosbeak is hanging near the Dongan Oak monument but leaning closer to the mulch pile yard adjacent to the zoo.
For our Prothonotary,it's sticking close to the Lullwater . A report mentioned it under the Terrace bridge.
Checking out new friends: how about Summer Tanager and Hooded Warbler?
The Summer Tanager reported yesterday is hanging out in the Vale Cashmere close to the Zucker nature Playground.
And lastly, a male Hooded Warbler put in an appearance atop Lookout Hill along the path towards the southwest long stairs. I presumed it was seen on the slope opposite the bench below the west fringe of the hills summit. Forrest W was the birder who found it.

Greetings! This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, April 21,
2023 at 11:00 p.m.
The highlights of today's tape are SWALLOW-TAILED KITE, PAINTED
BUNTING, BLACK-HEADED GULL, GULL-BILLED and CASPIAN TERNS, WHIMBREL,
CATTLE EGRET, RED-HEADED WOODPECKER, EVENING and BLUE GROSBEAKS,
PROTHONOTARY and YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS, RED CROSSBILLS and spring
migrants.
This morning one of the world's great birds appeared over Brooklyn
and, for a change, was enjoyed by several observers, not just a single
lucky individual, when a SWALLOW-TAILED KITE was spotted and nicely
photographed as it soared over both Prospect Park and nearby
Green-Wood Cemetery before disappearing.
In Central Park last Tuesday a female-type PAINTED BUNTING was found
up in the north end around the Loch and has continued there through
today, though often hard to find as it forages in treetop blossoms. A
male EVENING GROSBEAK has also been in that same area.
A BLACK-HEADED GULL was seen again last Saturday at the Bellport Yacht
Club, a GULL-BILLED TERN was spotted last Sunday at Jones Beach West
End, and a CASPIAN TERN visited Croton Point in Westchester yesterday.
Arrivals among the shorebirds have featured a WHIMBREL noted moving
east over Captree Island today, plus SPOTTED and SOLITARY SANDPIPERS
and SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER.
A CATTLE EGRET flew east over Southards Pond Park in Babylon last
Saturday, and a couple of TRICOLORED HERONS have appeared in coastal
marshes around Captree.
The Marine Park RED-HEADED WOODPECKER, now in nice color, continues in
Brooklyn near the Stuart Street and Avenue T intersection, and a SORA
was photographed recently in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens.
Two PROTHONOTARY WARBLERS were found Tuesday, with both still present
today - one has been in Prospect Park, moving about a bit, while the
other at Frank Melville Memorial Park by the Mill Pond in Setauket has
stayed around the crabapples near the Post Office.
An influx of YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS, besides the ones at the Bayard
Cutting Arboretum, include singles found at Hempstead Lake State Park
Saturday to Monday, at Willowbrook Lake on Staten Island Saturday, in
Green-Wood Cemetery Monday to Friday, and in Prospect Park Thursday.
Besides in Central Park, a male EVENING GROSBEAK has also been present
in Prospect Park since Wednesday.
A few RED CROSSBILLS, besides around the Paumanok Trail in Manorville,
were also noted in Suffolk County early in the week at Connetquot
River State Park, Manorville Hills County Park, Hunters Garden in
Eastport and the Quogue Wildlife Refuge.
A VESPER SPARROW occurred in Central Park last Saturday, with one also
in St. Johns Cemetery in Queens Sunday, and a BLUE GROSBEAK visited
Hempstead Lake State Park Monday, with another at Green-Wood Cemetery
today.
Other recent arrivals have included EASTERN WHIP-POOR-WILL,
RUBY-THROATED HJMMINGBIRD, SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER, SPOTTED and
SOLITARY SANDPIPERS, GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER, EASTERN KINGBIRD,
RED-EYED VIREO, WOOD THRUSH, LINCOLN'S SPARROW, ORCHARD and BALTIMORE
ORIOLES, SCARLET TANAGER and ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK, as well as such
WARBLERS as OVENBIRD, WORM-EATING, NASHVILLE, AMERICAN REDSTART, CAPE
MAY, YELLOW, PRAIRIE and BLACK-THROATED GREEN, with many more to come.
A few ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS are also still around.
To phone in reports call Tom Burke at (914) 967-4922.
This service is sponsored by the Linnaean Society of New York and the
National Audubon Society. Thank you for calling.

Saturdays pickings
Albeit a slow day today, there were some good pickings ,both in Prospect and Greenwood cemetery. I opted for the latter to have some peace and quiet.
For my excursion to the cemetery, I was glad to pick up a few nice birds. For example: along the Bluffside path at Sylvan waters north ridge, a female Purple Martin flew low thru the trees. It later continued seen higher by birders over Sylvan. A prize though found by Bob W was a female Hooded Warbler at Sylvans south shore,within the yew tree grove,thanks to Mike S and Joshua for their help.
At Dellwater, Paul S found a Louisiana Waterthush. About the time I saw the water thrush, a pretty Red breasted nuthatch and an accompanying Chipping sparrow visited the waters edge.
Flocks of Double crested cormorants flew over Sylvan Water in a steady stream.
Meanwhile,two holdovers in Prospect attracted the most attention. Both Evening Grosbeak continue at Dongan Oak monument and the roving Protho
notary warbler moving along the Lull water wounding up at last report the Peninsula point.

Friday good eyes for a Swallow -tailed Kite
Yesterdays sighting of the third historical Prospect Swallow tailed Kite is a credit to Jeff Gramms good eyes. And that's a gift for any good birder and people near them.
During viewing of the Dongan Oak Evening Grosbeak a second time after birding elsewhere, Jeff spotted a high flying kite coming over,the Swallow Tailed which then did a loop maneuver before heading southwest. Thanks to quick tweets, it was picked up over Greenwood Cemetery. Check the previous posts below for photos and checklists with details. A spectacular
mega rarity for lucky birders!
The Evening Grosbeak continued yesterday in an elm tree over Tunnel Arch bridge by Dongan Oak monument. I got lucky when Ed Crowne got me on it.
Also luck smiled in me again for me getting the Prothonotary warbler. First to the dead tree at Lull water bridge where it wasnt, it actually move closed to the wood observation deck across from the Boathouse. If it werent for birders there I might have missed it. For very close views in a cherry tree over the shoreline, I was well rewarded.
In other news, a male Blue Grosbeak was reported at Greenwood Cemetery's Central ridge, south from Valley Water.

Yellow and gold
Two of yesterdays gems continued through today with different locations their venues. Both Evening Grosbeak and Protho notary warbler hung around for birders to chase.
The yellow hue of Evening Grosbeak-two reported-captured eyes at Dongans Oak Monument. At this North perimeter of the zoo,birder Ant T refound the calling bird which stayed all day here,moving around and across East drive over the Tunnel Arch.
Now for the golden bird:the Prothonotary Warbler. Yesterday it was Upper Pool, today it was Binnen Run from Binnen Pool along this creek to Music Pagoda where it showed well. The bird moved farther downstream to Terrace Bridge if its the same Pronthonotary.
In other news, reports of more birds coming through focused on vireos and hermit thrushes. Both Blue headed and lesser numbered White eyed showed up in places. My friend Vinnie mentioned a note about hermit thrushes in various locales of Prospect.

Hi Tom!! Great walk today, if it was more about quality than quantity. Both Forrest Wickman and Radka co-lead with me; Radka is an absolutely excellent spotter and Forrest is a natural leader - he really held the torch, and shared a lot of great info to the group. There were serious highlights: male Evening Grosbeak foraging close to the zoo off of East Drive - we were able to get everyone on it despite it being very high and very hidden; Prothonotary Warbler at the Lily Pond; super views of a close and cooperative White-eyed Vireo. We had lots of sparrows, including Savannah and a Field on the Peninsula. We didn't see any Parula, which was the only surprise for me, because there were several vocalizing in the park yesterday.

Wednesday's prospect highlight
An exceptional bird appeared this early morning at the southeast corner of the Nethermead. Spencer Hildie found a Evening Grosbeak.
Just north of the Lullwater Bridge along the Nethermead path , the calling male Evening Grosbeak makes this quite a rarity, appearing infrequently in Prospect.
Meanwhile the Prothonotary warbler continues at Upper Pool. Frequenting the island,it's hanging out in a dense bush on the island's west shore. Upper pool is fed by Falkill falls.
Northern Roughwinged swallow was spotted on Prospect lake along with Barn Swallows.
Over at Greenwood cemetery, Eastern Bluebirds were reported.

Windy warblers
This chilly windy day bought in traditional overshoot warblers into Prospect: the golden bird Prothonotary warbler and a formerly called Sycamore warbler now known as Yellow throated warbler. And birders benefited including the BBC bird walk started today.
At Upper Pool ,the Prothonotary made its rounds around the pond. Sometimes it was close; other times distant. I lucked in with the latter, seeing it on the Upper pool island on my lunch break. I'll take it. But in close views it hung around to the right of the dog beach offering good views and photo shots.
Meanwhile down at the Peninsula, the BBC walk group got lucky when member Janet Zinn found a yellow throated warbler high up at the Peninsula tip above the rustic shelter
.
Both these birds are firsts for Prospect on spring 2023. Let's hope they both stick around longer.

Hi Peter,
we had a very good first walk of the year today, despite the cold temperatures and wind, and general lack of birds... :-)
Janet found a yellow-throated warbler on the peninsula, which we all got good looks at. then we went up to Dog Beach to look for the Prothonotary that Forest W. had previously reported. we certainly got our steps in circling the pools multiple times and the bird would pop up briefly then fly to the other side of hte island. Eventually it came in close, opposite Fallkill Falls and everyone got really good looks. i'm sure the photographers got some good shots. Other than that it was birdy in some spots but not overall.

Yellow throated warbler reappears at GWC
It appears that Greenwood cemetery's Yellow throated warbler stuck around after it's initial Discovery two days ago. The Sylvan Water observation still occurred at the same location.
Ron Bate and Tracy Meade refound this bird today at the north ridge of Sylvan, then later reporting it at the edge of Valley Water.
It's a good chance it'll hang around.

Spring World Migratory Bird Day Birdathon 2023 – Brooklyn Bird Club
http://brooklynbirdclub.org/event/spring-birdathon-2023/
We are excited to announce that the recipient of the 2023 World Migratory Bird Day Birdathon, which takes place Saturday May 13th, will be the NYC Plover Project https://nycploverproject.org/ ; Specifically, for this exciting opportunity with the Brooklyn Bird Club, they would look to launch an educational program for primary school children in the Rockaways, in concert with Birds Caribbean and local civic and primary education partners in Andros, Bahamas where many Atlantic population Piping Plovers spend their winters. Funds raised would go towards a seasonal coordinator in the Bahamas to work with 1-3 pilot schools in the Fall 2023 (off) season. This program would be multimedia and offer educational tools for the instructors to engage with students about the wintering and summering locations of the birds, further engaging school kids from both countries about endangered Piping Plovers.
For more info on this project and on how to participate in the Birdathon, please see our website calendar: http://brooklynbirdclub.org/event/spring-birdathon-2023/

Same spot ,different day
As the saying goes lighting never strikes the same spot twice, a spot on the north side of Prospects Terrace Bridge has disproved that. This mornings American Bittern found by Max Epstein follows up the Yellow throated Warbler yesterday in the exact location.
The young season's third american bittern in our local area 2 now in Prospect, one in Greenwood is sort of ridiculous. Even more so ridiculous is the open view for a normally shy bird seen perched today visibly atop a small tree 150 feet north from the bridge along the west Lull water path.
In Greenwood two weeks ago, an American bittern was observed at the edge of Crescent water for several hours. Birders rejoice!
You never know with birds..
Enjoy the weekend.😎

Thursdays hot bird
Matching the weather, springs annual appearance ( usually) of Yellow throated warbler happened this morning in Prospect.
First reported on the Peninsula by Brian, Forrest Wickman refound the bird singing in the Lull water on the east side of the Terrace Bridge.It didn't stay there as a few birders I asked passing by my worksite on well drive didn't see it.
Its likely around... ( I keep telling myself)

Hi Peter,
We had a good group (maybe 35-40?) with several new faces on a beautiful (at first) then a rather hot day. Our bird of the day was an almost pure white Budgerigar. Actually it was (is??) countable, under some circumstances, as an ABA bird as there was (still is?) a naturalized population around St Petersburg in Florida.
Otherwise, some good birds including Winter Wren, Rusty Blackbird, 7 species of warblers including Louisiana Waterthrush (we couldn't find the Yellow-throated), Prairie Warbler (heard by Valerie), Marsh Wren (a unique subspecies named "Radka's Marsh Wren), American Kestrel and more.
Here's the list along with a picture of the Budgie.
Marisa will also send you a couple of nice shots of Palm Warbler, which was found in several places.
Best regards,
Tom
