[nysbirds-l] Cattle Egret, Manhattan NYC 4/21
A Western Cattle Egret continues on this Friday, April 21 in Manhattan (N.Y. City) at the n. side of W. 28th St., between Eighth & Ninth Ave’s.; around mid-day today the egret was not looking so well and was somewhat hunkered-in at an edging to freshly-plowed dirt, perhaps sheltering from a chill wind. Brief stops at several midtown parks did not show a great many or variety of migrants, but there were a few. Some, & possibly many, of Thursday’s migrants at Central Park seem to have moved on again. A Red-necked Grebe was still present on the Central Park reservoir today. - - - - - - - "A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise." - Aldo Leopold (1887–1948), U.S. wildlife biologist, conservationist, professor, author, best known for his book "A Sand County Almanac" (1949), which has sold more than two million copies.
