Just got word that the Western Tanager in Green-Wood Cemetery is still present as of a few minutes ago. If you go, park near Cypress and Vine Avenues. Look for Vernal Path off of Cypress and walk towards the large mausoleum with two tall blue spruces at its corners. The name is “Chas. T. Yerkes”. Walk around to the back of it and scan the large yew tree at the left side. The bird is foraging in the many yews in that area, but always seems to return here. Look for fresh sapsucker holes as it is picking insects from them (and perhaps drinking the sap).
