[nysbirds-l] Western Tanager, Manhattan, NYC 11/26 (Saturday)
Saturday, 26 November, 2016 - City Hall Park, lower Manhattan, New York City Western Tanager continues at above park this Saturday morning - as do at least some or all of other recent species seen there - the tanager seems fond of the trees (may be high in taller trees much of time!) in the part of the park that is between the 2 biggest buildings withIN the park, & just to the east of that, seen from main east-west path IN the park. Other areas of same park are worth searching thru, especially the south sides, where even the tanager visited on Friday, at one point. Saint Paul's Chapel grounds, 1 short city block SW of the south end of City Hall Park, and Trinity Church's cemetery grounds, open to public, and a few short city blocks south from same, on west side of Broadway, are each worth a look for more birds - on any day. City Hall Park is located south of Chambers Street, lower Manhattan - to the east of Broadway - it is also at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, & a few yards from the main pedestrian path to that bridge. The area the Tanager seems to be favoring is between the 2 major buildings IN the park, on / near an east-west path, be looking-up and listen for the distinctive calls from the tanager. It was present in this small park all day Friday, and now the 4th day in a row.' Thanks to all who give updates on current status of these & other uncommon or rare species! Other interesting birds may be in the general area too! (PS, some know, WETA is bird-bander's code for Western Tanager) good birding, Tom Fiore, Manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES 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://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
