Re: [nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Inwood Hill Pk Empid (Manhattan) - notes from Saturday's sighting

Correct on both points, which I neglected to mention. Pacific-slope was the 
prevailing belief even early on due to those recordings, a few other 
vocalizations that were heard, and the patterns of vagrancy observed elsewhere. 
Time will tell if this species pair is kept distinct, but for now we have the 
puzzle of ID confirmation to contend with. 

Cheers!

 If you walk north before going west you can avoid the steps/big hill. I 
 think the street is 218, but just keep going north til you see no stairs. 
 A slight detour only.

Pacific Slope seems to have more of a vagrancy pattern, assuming that they
really are two different species, which, as the discussion on this listserv
after the Central Park bird showed up last year suggested, may not be a
safe assumption.

Re: [nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Inwood Hill Pk Empid (Manhattan) - notes from Saturday's sighting

[Tim Healy]

I'm getting some serious déjà vu here. Originally reported at Yellow-belly, 
suspicions based on time of year led to more observation, evidence mounts for 
one of the two "Westerns," and then it's all hands on deck to figure out which. 
I recall last fall's bird allegedly responded vigorously to PSFL recordings and 
ignored COFL playback. Obviously getting audio is the priority high above using 
audio. The 2015 Central Park individual was vocalizing almost constantly, but 
using short chip notes that proved worthless even when I recorded them. As I 
understand it, only some calls and the song can be reliably distinguished by 
software. Good luck, out there, everyone. 

Cheers!

Re: [nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Inwood Hill Pk Empid (Manhattan) - notes from Saturday's sighting

[Tim Healy]

I'm getting some serious déjà vu here. Originally reported at Yellow-belly, 
suspicions based on time of year led to more observation, evidence mounts for 
one of the two "Westerns," and then it's all hands on deck to figure out which. 
I recall last fall's bird allegedly responded vigorously to PSFL recordings and 
ignored COFL playback. Obviously getting audio is the priority high above using 
audio. The 2015 Central Park individual was vocalizing almost constantly, but 
using short chip notes that proved worthless even when I recorded them. As I 
understand it, only some calls and the song can be reliably distinguished by 
software. Good luck, out there, everyone. 

Cheers!
-Tim H

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Inwood Hill Pk Empid (Manhattan) - notes from Saturday's sighting

[Joseph DiCostanzo]

Yes, walk west to Broadway from the 215th St station and the north to 218th St 
(there is a Twin Donut) on the corner), then west on 218th to the park at 
Indian Road.

BTW, yesterday I did not hear the bird vocalize, but at one point when I had 
not seen the bird for at least 15 minutes I played recordings of Cordilleran 
and Pacific-slope flycatchers to familiarize myself with them. While listening 
to the Pacific-slope recording the bird came barreling in over my shoulder and 
landed directly in front of me.

Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Inwood Hill Pk Empid (Manhattan) - notes from Saturday's sighting

[Goldstein, Gina]

If you walk north before going west you can avoid the steps/big hill. I think 
the street is 218, but just keep going north til you see no stairs. A slight 
detour only.

A warning to those taking the #1 train to 215th St: if you continue on 215th to 
walk west into the park, you'll be walking up 7 flights of stone steps to get 
there, so be prepared! Of course you'll get your reward on the way back when 
it's all downhill.   There may be another way to get there that avoids the 
steep incline, but maybe others can chime in on this.

I checked my Fitbit after arriving home, and it showed that I walked the 
equivalent of 32 flights of stairs (which included those in and out of the 
subway).  I would say that the trip accounted for at least 26 of those flights, 
so it was a good workout.
