The nicely plumaged MacGillvrays Warbler - for which we again thank Julian
Batista of Riverdale, Bronx County, NYC - was again being seen, with a bit of
patience, at the lawn location, huge pink toys too, a bit north of the nursing
care building, on Tuesday 12/26 - paved driveway into which no birders should
drive, but walk-in from Independence Ave, or from West 231 St. Parking is
usually available within a couple of short blocks, try Independence north of
231st, for example. There are also buses that stop not far away, which connect
at least to the number 1 subway line nearest stop of which is 231 St, then on
BX10 bus line westbound, to the W. 232 Street stop along the Henry Hudson
parkway service road, from that bus stop a modest walk, 10 minutes or so, west
to Independence, south to 231 St. The bus ride might be 10-30 minutes according
to the hour, can be busy or not-busy.
A very few people seeking the skulky warbler over these last few days have
wandered into and on to private lawns in front of nearby private homes. Put
simply, do not do this. We have all enjoyed a good reception from the folks at
the nursing care facility and in general from others. Lets keep it that way,
thank you!
And thanks again to all giving reports of ongoing sightings,
Good luck,
Tom Fiore
