A female type TOWNSEND'S WARBLER, a great find yesterday in Brooklyn's Green-wood Cemetery, was still present today, seen in some Bald Cypress in the north-central part of the park. Use the main entrance on 25th Street. Other good birds in the cemetery this week have included a LARK SPARROW Wednesday, CONNECTICUT WARBLER Tuesday and Wednesday and 2 DICKCISSELS Wednesday with one still there today along with a nice selection of other species. A ROSEATE SPOONBILL was found last Sunday at Beaver Lake in Mill Neck and has stayed in that area through today. Often present on Beaver Lake located just south of Cleft Road the bird has also been seen along Mill Neck Creek south of the lake. Hawkwatching season has begun and got off to a great start when last Saturday afternoon an adult SWAINSON'S HAWK was photographed as it flew over the Chestnut Ridge Hawkwatch at the Butler Sanctuary in Bedford. We are now entering the prime time for major BROAD-WINGED flights and a good mix of species. A white morph of GREAT BLUE HERON, often referred to as Great White Heron, was present in the marsh at low tide Tuesday at Marshlands Conservancy in Rye. This also likely the same bird reported there back on August 21st. An EASTERN WHIP-POOR-WILL was also heard after sunset at Marshlands as well singing again there this evening. Highlights among the shorebirds this week included a BUFF-BREASTED and up to 3 BAIRD'S SANDPIPERS on Oregon Road in Deep Hollow ... fields in Cutchogue during the week with 2 more BUFF-BREASTEDS off Head of the Neck Road in Eastport Thursday and a BAIRD'S at the Brooklyn Golf Center on Flatbush Avenue to today. An UPLAND SANDPIPER was a surprise visitor to Rockaway Beach in Edgemere Monday. A RED-NECKED PHALAROPE was spotted on the Lullwater at Prospect Park Lake today and a WILSON'S PHALAROPE was at Ruffle Bar in Jamaica Bay last Sunday. Four MARBLED GODWITS were reported on islands north of Jones Beach Tuesday and a WHIMBREL was at the Lido Beach last Saturday with 4 more on Mecox Bay Tuesday while other shorebirds this week included some WESTERN, PECTORAL, STILT and WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS. Early Saturday an immature BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE was spotted moving south over Astoria Park in Queens, possibly the same bird seen later that day on the ocean off Lido Beach. Three CASPIAN and BLACK TERNS were also noted during the week along with decent numbers of ROYAL TERNS. A LARK SPARROW was spotted at the north end of Hempstead Lake today. Arriving recently a few CONNECTICUT WARBLERS today included birds in Central and Alley Pond Parks and at Jones Beach West End. Other warblers featured a late LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH at Alley Pond Park Saturday, a CERULEAN WARBLER at Conference House Park on Staten Island today and among the roughly 30 species present locally a few MOURNING plus HOODED, CAPE MAY, BAY-BREASTED and WORM-EATING WARBLER.
