Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn (Kings County), N.Y. City - to Sunday, Dec. 11th -
Not sure this had been posted at all HERE since? - many many days ago…?! The brightly-plumaged Townsend’s Warbler was seen again (and had been seen in intervening days by some as well) at least by Saturday, Dec. 10th and was again present in same park (where first discovered by Doug Gochfeld many weeks ago! Specifically, was first reported there for Nov. 16th, nearly 4 weeks ago now) - as of first-light to 7:45 am SUNDAY, Dec. 11th was again present not far south of the Willoughby Ave. (east side of park) entrance to the south of same, which is parallel with the Washington Park (‘ave.') outer perimiter street. Some chip-notes and a lot of movement fairly high in trees. The pine trees need checking and-but, this warbler has been in many other types of tree thru its’ long stay, in this small, and “doggy” park (as is so with dogs in most of NYC’s more-popular public parks). This Townsend’s was beautifully photo’d on Saturday, 12/10, by B. Kane in nice lighting: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/511924021 <https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/511924021> (with many more images in that checklist also available). Thanks to all who’ve been updating these sightings; I am aware a few folks *may have* known the warbler was ongoing, and this would surely be sought as part of upcoming C.B.C. effforts - while, at same time, there will still be birders desiring to see this, or see-it-again in December... Good luck if trying, and please do report any new sightings of such genuinely rare species here.
