Governors Island, part of N.Y. County in N.Y. City Wed., Oct. 11th - A Western Kingbird has been around the Fort Jay area on Governors Island, first noted by E. Leonardi and with more observers and photographers later on. Also ongoing on the island are Blue Grosbeak, with a Dickcissel again noted, the latter possibly a bit more mobile; as usual for the latter species in this city, check any flocks of House Sparrows as well as other seed eating species. There also has been Vesper Sparrow, among many many other migrants all around Governors Island. Thanks to multiple observers for various reports, more sure to come thru via the group alerts.
Many many other migrants all around N.Y. County, some to be noted at a later time. Good birding to all, Tom Fiore manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm 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://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
