There is what I believe to be young or nonbreeding male blue grosbeak in the northern Co-Op City Athletic Field in the Bronx, just around 3pm. I was eating lunch in my car with my binoculars scanning all the starlings and robins in the field, and very surprised to see this bird. If I'm wrong lunch is on me, but I think it's worth reporting. Will post some terrible phone/binocular pictures to Ebird shortly in a list submitted for the Rivers Run Community Garden hotspot.
