The flock of 800 Canada Geese began lifting off from the significant open water
around 9:45 this morning. The Barnacle Goose was on the extreme western shore
at the far edge of the flock. Four Greater White-fronted Geese were tucked up
in the cove (inlet?) at the north east corner of the lake.
I've just heard via Andrew Rubenfeld that Eric Ozawa saw the West Village
COUCH'S KINGBIRD this morning despite the frigid temperatures, especially
overnight. Exact location was not provided but presumable this was at or
close to one of the spots it has favored recently.

If it's fluttering around in the street about to get pretzeled by a taxi
I'm sure someone can get it to the Wild Bird Fund on the Upper West Side in
Manhattan.

In contrast to Rick Cech's point of view, Selasphorus hummingbirds and
Western Tanagers show several records

While on the subject of vagrants and their possible demise, I would like to
reiterate that if a bird such as this does die and is found it should be
deposited in a natural history collection where it can be permanently archived.

Hope we aren't comparing a bird's life to a human life.

It doesn't hurt to help beings in trouble if it is possible to do.
Wouldn't you want the same done for you?

Why should we get involved at all? They are vagrants, moved out of their
normal range for whatever reason. They will either survive and return home, or
they won't. That's the way nature works. I think we should stand back and let
nature take its course and not get directly involved.

Good discussion,
Here is a Dusky-capped Flycatcher eating fruit/vegetables in the warm
climate of El Salvador, but I also suspect the 2 kingbirds could use some
good bugs in this weather.
Perhaps it would be good too make an arrangement with a rehabber in case of
emergency. Birds get sick fast.
True, and don’t forget the somewhat similar overwinter survival of the Rufous
Hummingbird outside the American Museum of Natural History a few years back;
the last posting I’m aware of for that bird was 3/11/2012.
2011-12 was a mild winter, admittedly, but hummers are hardly a model of cold
My memory of Tyrannus biology is that all members of the genus become
mostly or partly frugivorous during winter, and simply supplement their
diet with insects when available. So, their survival in NYC may depend more
on the availability of small fruits, for which they are competing with the
many
