Manhattan island, N.Y. City Sunday, 19 February, 2017 - at 5:50 p.m. + in the evening, i.e.-
at dusk, or about 30 minutes past sunset, the 17 Canvasbacks (including 10 bright adult males) near Riverbank State Park were on the Hudson (very near shore) on the north side, or adjacent with about West 146th Street, rather than the south side where most sightings had been reported from. I was passing by and noticed the flock there on a late-day bicycle ride of the Hudson river-green-way path which passes all of this area. At about 3:45 p.m., a sub-adult Bald Eagle was moving over central Harlem (USA) going roughly west-northwest, perhaps moving across from the western-most zone of Long Island Sound over towards the Hudson or perhaps, New Jersey. The eagle was viewed from east Harlem, closer to the East River-Harlem River confluence. good birding, Tom Fiore manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
