Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

A young Red-headed Woodpecker, now with some red feathering on the  
head (or "hood") continues at the area just west of East 68th Street,  
south of park entrance at East 69th and the woodpecker regular near a  
modest-size Shagbark Hickory tree that is along the first path west of  
the above-noted streets.  Standing to the immediate north of a rustic  
shelter atop the Dene area, on a rocky outcrop, or the path just below  
& north, may find the woodpecker which can be well above eye-level  
much of the time, but has been seen at ground-level also.

A Red-necked Grebe (found last Wednesday & almost certainly the bird  
that was subsequently reported as released there on that day, by the  
Wild Bird Fund rehab center which is on Manhattan's upper west side)  
is continuing on the reservoir today, it's been feeding-diving often -  
moving around the entire reservoir - thus it can be "missed" (at 10 am  
this Tuesday, it was at & near the northeast corner, & it then swam  
south.)

Additional species on the CP reservoir include 2 Pied-billed Grebes, 4  
Hooded Mergansers, multiple American Coots, Northern Shovelers and  
Buffleheads as well as other expected winter species there. Drake Wood  
Ducks: 1 at 'The Meer' & 1 at 'The Pond' as well as the occasonal  
visitor Great Blue Heron and the long-staying Coot; the drake Northern  
Pintail continues at The Pond.

Other species remaining in Central Park include:  Double-crested  
Cormorant,  [Greater] Canada Goose,  Gadwall,  American Black Duck,   
Mallard,  Ruddy Duck,  Sharp-shinned Hawk,  Cooper's Hawk,  Red-tailed  
Hawk,  American Kestrel,  Ring-billed Gull,  [American] Herring Gull,   
Great Black-backed Gull,  Rock Pigeon,  Mourning Dove,  Red-bellied  
Woodpecker,  Yellow-bellied Sapsucker,  Downy Woodpecker,  Hairy  
Woodpecker,  Yellow-shafted Flicker,  Blue Jay,  American Crow,  Black- 
capped Chickadee,  Tufted Titmouse,  Red-breasted Nuthatch,  [eastern]  
White-breasted Nuthatch,  Brown Creeper,  Carolina Wren,  Winter  
Wren,  Hermit Thrush,  American Robin,  Gray Catbird,  Northern  
Mockingbird,  Brown Thrasher,  European Starling,  Cedar Waxwing,   
Eastern Towhee,  [Red] Fox Sparrow,  Song Sparrow,  Swamp Sparrow,   
White-throated Sparrow,  Dark-eyed [Slate-colored] Junco,  Northern  
Cardinal,  Red-winged Blackbird,  Common Grackle,  Brown-headed  
Cowbird,  House Finch,  American Goldfinch,  House Sparrow - &  
probably a few additional wild & native species of birds.

good birding - & thanks to those respecting of all wildlife.

[nysbirds-l] eBird.org Shared Location - LaGuardia Airport (LGA)

2017-02-07 Thread Ben Cacace 
I just noticed there were quite a few personal location markers for
LaGuardia Airport in Queens.

A marker was just created for LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in Queens County. The
hotspot should be available within 12 hours.

If you wish to merge your personal location with an existing hotspot here
are the steps:

— Sign into eBird.org
— Go to "My eBird" & select "Manage My Locations" in the right panel
— At the bottom of the screen click "Show All" to see all locations on one
page
— You can sort the list by clicking on any of the headers: Location,
Country, State/Province, County, Type* or # of Checklists
— Select your personal location (it will show a letter "P" under Type*) by
clicking "Edit" on the right side of the line
— Select the "Merge" button and you'll see all nearby hotspots as red icons
— Keep the checkmark for "Delete after merging" selected
— Click the icon that best fits your location
— ... now you'll see the hotspot description above the 'Merge' button along
with the # of checklists you'll be merging
— Click on the 'Merge' button
— Answer Yes to the 'Yes or No' query

All checklists for that personal location will be combined with the hotspot
with this process.

Additional shared locations created between 17-Oct-'16 to 27-Dec-'16 can be
found here < http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/NewHotspots >.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Pink-footed Goose - Orange County

Greetings All,
The bird is indeed being seen near 712 Sandhill Road but this location is in Ulster County, east of SGNWR as the goose flies. Many thanks again to Bruce Nott for discovering this county first yesterday.
Good Birding,

Ken McDermott called minutes ago to report that he is seeing the previously
reported Pink-footed Goose with a small group of Canada Geese in a horse
corral at 712 Sandhill Road near Warwick, NY.

The road, though lightly traveled, is narrow at that site is at a curve
limiting sight line distance for oncoming vehicle traffic. So appropriate
caution is advised.
