A few highlights from an all day birding in the Bronx includes the following:
Cackling Goose (CACG) on the Parade Grounds @ Van Cortlandt Park. No sign of the Barnacle Goose and it could be that this bird has moved on. The assortment of wintering warblers in our area continue; 2 (PRAIRE WARBLER and PALM WARBLER western) out of 3 warblers that were found on the Bronx CBC were re-found and observed today by Eric Miller, Arie Gilbert, Bob Hayes and I. Here is a link to a post with some photos from the CBC http://birdingdude.blogspot.com/2012/12/bronx-ny-christmas-bird-count-2012.html?m=1 At Pelham Bay 9 KILLDEERS roamed the mud flats at Turtle Cove. Near that same area a careful examination of a flock of Goldfinches, revealed 1 COMMON REDPOLL, with the possibility of a few more in the area. In a belated report, yesterday I had the continuing NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH and a WILSON'S WARBLER at the LIE interchange Alley Pond Park restoration area in Queens. Good Winter Birding!
