City Hall Park, lower Manhattan, New York City
Western Tanager continues at above park this morning - as do at least some of other most-recent species seen in the area such as a Yellow-breasted Chat, most regular in the Trinity Church cemetery, just down Broadway a few short blocks, on west side of that avenue. The "Chat #2" from near or in City Hall Park has not been seen yet by me this day, but a search will commence. Tanager seen & heard calling in the vicinity of the 'usual' areas, which is nearer the eastern faces of the 2 big buildings IN the park, & not far west of a prominent orange "detour" sign on the main east-west cross-path that is the path to be on for tanager-seekers.
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 call.s from the tanager.
Other interesting birds may be in the general area too! Observers continued in numbers (as of 12/3) to see & seek the City Hall (and vicinity) birds.
good birding,
