I am starting to think about the fall migrant season, and there are several species that are mainly fall migrants, as well as a few I have missed.
Osprey: Possibly seen in March, a common fall migrant. Will probably see if I hawkwatch.
Bald Eagle: Possibly seen in May, a regular fall migrant. Good chance of seeing if I hawkwatch.
Sharp-Shinned Hawk: Very common fall migrants, will probably get.
Other Raptors: Possible with hawkwatching
Merlin: Regular fall migrant, unsure if I will see it.
Killdeer: Possibly seen at Governor's Island, but unsure. This place and Randall's have them, but I need to spot them first!
Solitary Sandpiper: Summer migrant, but a bit hard to find.
Black-Billed Cuckoo: Missed in spring, could get in fall.
Owls: One could show up November/December?
Red-Headed Woodpecker: Rare migrant, but they usually are able to be tracked down.
Empid identities: Hard, but birds may call more in fall, so I have a shot.
Philadelphia Vireo: Near-exclusive fall migrant. Hopefully will see.
Marsh Wren: Rare fall migrant, wanderer could show up.
Connecticut Warbler: Exclusive fall migrant. Hopefully will see.
Yellow-Breasted Chat: Rare, secretive migrant. Hopefully will see.
Rare Sparrows (Grasshopper, Vesper, etc.): One or more species usually appear in fall. Hopefully will see.
Pine Siskin: Hopefully will track a flock of them down!
