Re:[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Virginia Rail

[Anders Peltomaa]

The Virginia Rail has relocated to the water hole by Swampy Pin Oak (aka
Stumpy Pin Oak). This is the enclosed area immediately East of Rustic
Shelter in the Ramble.

Steve Chang refound it there after it went missing from the previous
location.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Virginia Rail

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
This morning Debra Kriensky & Tod Winston of NYC Audubon found a Virginia
Rail on the lake shore (row boat lake) in Central Park. It has been seen by
many after their report. The rail is near the rustic bridge where the Gill
flows out into the lake. This is on the west side of the Ramble. Easiest
way to get to the location is to walk over Bow Bridge and then follow the
Western lake shore until you arrive at the rustic bridge. The rail has been
seen on the muddy area along the stream and lake.

Debra reached out to the Wild Bird Fund to check wether they have rehabbed
and released any Virginia rails recently, and the answer was that they have
not.

Great find out Debra and Tod and thanks for getting word out.

good birding,

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Virginia Rail

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hi all,
This morning Debra Kriensky & Tod Winston of NYC Audubon found a Virginia
Rail on the lake shore (row boat lake) in Central Park. It has been seen by
many after their report. The rail is near the rustic bridge where the Gill
flows out into the lake. This is on the west side of the Ramble. Easiest
way to get to the location is to walk over Bow Bridge and then follow the
Western lake shore until you arrive at the rustic bridge. The rail has been
seen on the muddy area along the stream and lake.

Debra reached out to the Wild Bird Fund to check wether they have rehabbed
and released any Virginia rails recently, and the answer was that they have
not.

Great find out Debra and Tod and thanks for getting word out.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: VIRGINIA RAIL

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hello,
Sam Stuart found a Virginia Rail in the Loch, i.e. the water stream running
through the ravine at the North End of Central Park. When Sam discovered
the bird it was walking in the water near the confluence of the small
stream and the larger stream. This is downstream from both the rustic
bridges.

Around 7:30pm the bird made a re-appearance for Sam, Anya Auerbach, Brian
Padden and Brett and myself. We had decent views of it in the low light as
it was walking in the water and standing still feeding. After a while it
walked/ran back up on land and disappeared out of view behind some fallen
tree trunks.

It could pay off searching for it tomorrow. The Virginia Rail that was in
the same area in September last year stayed for a few days.

good birding,
