Central Park, NYC 17 Feb Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) arrived at the maintenance building at 11:00 AM and stayed till almost noon without seeing the VARIED THRUSH. . We then went to look for the RED-HEADED WOODPECKER and again struck out. (We saw the owl).
Returning to the maintenance building, looking for half an hour; we finally saw the thrush fly in from our right and settle on the ground in front of us. At that moment an AMNH group came by. Joe paused to get the group on the bird. A quick look for all before the bird disappeared again. Timing is everything.
