It's still in the same place noon Saturday 4/15. Penn South courtyard Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Fri, Apr 14, 2017 at 10:49 AM, Thomas Fiore<tom...@earthlink.net> wrote: Good Friday,14th April, 2017 - Manhattan, Chelsea neighborhood, N.Y. City
A well-plumaged Cattle Egret continues its visit at a small-ish greenspace, on the north side of 28th Street, between Eighth & Ninth Avenues in Manhattan. In the early morning at least, the Egret was a bit closer to Eigth Ave. - it was feeding reasonably, as it has been for the days of observations. I also visited some smaller parks in the lower-mid Manhattan area, & most seemed to hold very scant migrant or late-lingering wintered-over birds. The Hudson river along lower Manhattan also appeared relatively quiet and the greenspaces alongside somewhat the same, with the exception of lingering Atlantic Brant in some areas, which are not unexpected into or even thru April. ———— Thanks to Ardith Bondi for her note on the Central Park reservoir (Manhattan) Red-necked Grebe which she photographed Thursday; this bird was also reported by a few others, in various media. Should that grebe linger on into next week, it will certainly seem very likely that it is the same which was rehabilitated in Manhattan & subsequently released to the CP reservoir. It is mobile within the reservoir & it seems to be feeding well.
