[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park
This week I checked the birding action of Bryant Park for signs of scavenging among the food vendors in Bryant Park this winter. Unfortunately, the increase in booths, expanded ice rink deck eating area, and view-blocking two-story lounges, along with the larger crowds, have walled in/off many of the garden areas. That and the recent clearing of underbrush have rendered these areas nearly dead zones compared to years past where the birds had easy egress to hide after raiding the fallen crumbs left behind by hungry shoppers. Except for pigeons and fearless House Sparrows, most of the bird action has moved to the peripheral areas. There was a Hermit Thrush on the southern border and the typical Catbirds, although fewer in number at the northwest corner along with a Swamp Sparrow being bullied by the larger Common Whitethroats. A surprise was a Lincoln Sparrow skulking in the southwest corner, could be the same I’d seen in that area for a few weeks about a month ago.

[nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Geese, 2 se NYS counties 12/2 (Orange, Nassau)
A huge apologia for posting again in less than 8 hours, but- Today, Friday, December 2nd, 2016 saw a 2nd Pink-footed Goose get discovered in NY state, seen by maybe 8-10 or more observers, and much photo-documented in a county besides the one (Nassau) where a bird of that species, which is an "ABA CODE-4 species - meaning genuinely rare in North America - & that there were also at least 4 OTHER goose species recorded where this new find of Pink-footed - was in Orange County NY, those others being Greater White-fronted, Cackling-'type', Snow, and [Greater] Canada - I figure it's worth a mention on this NY STATE Iist? The find, in Orange County, was at Camel Farm, in the "black dirt area" of the county, & I can't provide precise directions - it's somewhere on your internet, though! And, not reported here for today, but present this day was the Pink-footed Goose in Nassau County, at the site where one's been since found by Tim Healy's dad and reported often here in past recent weeks - as far as I know, the Pink-footed in Orange County was today first found by Bruce Nott, who got word out to some others in the area. Thus, just passing along in case there is 1-person-out-there who may not have heard about this, on this list. goosing it up a notch, tom fiore - manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES 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://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] W. Tanager, Manhattan, NYC 12/2 - Friday
Friday, 2nd of December, 2016 - City Hall Park, lower Manhattan, New York City A Western Tanager continues at above park this Friday & seen well into late afternoon there. It might be added that some who are coming to see this bird have not seen it before, and a fair number of those who have come to see in the past 9 days since the discovery (10 days ago) have noted that it was a new or "life" bird for them. The tanager seems fond of the trees (may be high in taller trees much of time!) in the part of the park that is between the 2 biggest buildings with-IN the park, & just to the east of that area, seen from main east-west path IN the park. The bird was quite vocal any number of times thru mid-afternoon. A Yellow-breasted Chat was sought in the immediate area but not seen, even as 1-month-now Y.-br. Chat (#1Chat) is ongoing in Trinity Church cemetery, as had been reported earlier today, seen in the northwest parts again with a bit of effort, and with a a number of other observers, just as with the tanager. That church & cemetery a 5-10 minute walk down Broadway, on the western side of the avenue. At 3 least additional warbler species are lingering at City Hall park - most uncommon at this date, a Black-throated Blue (male, seen with & near the tanager today), and at least one remaining Ovenbird, as well as male Common Yellowthroat. Overall, it seemed to me that many birds have departed this park (& the area) in the past day or two after some fairly thorough searching - those still interested in seeing a Western Tanager here may want try soon, rather than wait long (of course, that said, the bird may end up being there for some time longer, but...) 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 calls from the tanager. There were still one or two or more Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in the park, but fewer than 7-10 days prior. Saint Paul's Chapel grounds, 1 short city block SW of the south end of City Hall Park, and Trinity Church's cemetery grounds, open to public, and a few short city blocks south from same, on west side of Broadway, are each worth a look for more birds - on any day. Today, there did not seem to be a great many birds of any kind, aside from the Trinity- Chat, and a few sparrows & the like, & this "fit" with the diminishing quantity of birds at City Hall Park. Thanks to all who give updates on current status of these & other uncommon or rare species; a tip of the hat to some who have been expanding the circle a bit, out from City Hall & Trinity Church areas in that part of Manhattan.

[nysbirds-l] Pink-sided Junco - Hamlin Beach SP - Thursday
The Pink-sided Junco at Hamlin Beach SP, originally found by Andy Guthrie on November 24th, was seen again this Thursday morning at 11:15. I had it just off the westbound park road in the median, just before the first turnaround west of Parking Lot #2 (the lot with the gravel piles). It was with about a dozen Slate-colored Juncos, which flew up from just off the road as I drove up to them. I pulled over and waited for the juncos to return, which they did shortly. It has been seen at this spot several times previously. However, I did not see the bird from 8:30 until then, despite extensive searching, and I was actually leaving when I found it. This was my second attempt to see this junco. Photos of the junco can be seen in my eBird checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32807558 Good birding!
