In bigger but *extra-limital* (and ongoing) bird-news, the Say’s Phoebe was still around at Sikorsky airport in Fairfield, **Connecticut** on Thursday, 3/31.
- - - - - - Central Park, & elsewhere in N.Y. County (N.Y. City) - Thurs., 3/31: An American Bittern in Central Park’s north end, found on Thursday morning is among many relatives (herons & egrets) that were on the move already for the day. Much more happening bird-wise as well, around the county of New York (in N.Y. City); more reports by the next day. Thanks also to T. Zahner for (1st) better photos made of the bitttern; and GroupMe alerting, etc. Among multiple other arrivals on the day have been Palm Warbler & other birds as well. Pine Warblers have also increased. Some species already present (some also wintered) are showing good increases, for ex. Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. A very strong push of Wood Duck occurred, most seeming to move on in flight and not necessarily tied to other big waterfowl movement for (at least) N.Y. County. Red-breasted Nuthatch is also showing, after a quiet season so far for them. good -and ethical- birding to all; next up: April, 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/ --
