[nysbirds-l] Staten Island NYC Mew Gull NOT seen as of 8 a.m. Thurs.,3/30
Thursday, March 30th, 2017 The original finder of the Staten Island (Richmond County, a borough in N.Y. City) MEW Gull seen yesterday (Wed., March 29th), Dr. Richard Veit, has reported NOT finding the gull this morning in the same areas, as of search-time between 7-8 a.m., on Thursday. (It’s very possible that the gull is still in the area, or in the region, and may be re-located at some point.) --- Over in Manhattan, N.Y. City, some of the birds long-lingering at Central Park were still around this day, including a brightly-plumaged Red-headed Woodpecker in the area of the park just west of near East 68-69th Streets. The area to start looking for it is often a bit north of a rustic wooden shelter perched on a rocky rise, & as far north from there as the flagpole ‘vicinity' nearest the East 69th St. park entrance. The woodpecker may be quite high in branches & can sometimes take time to locate. A Red-necked Grebe, & a Common Loon (the latter in breeding-finery) have been on the CP reservoir. A number of additional early-spring (& expected) migrants are around the park. A modest movement of Vultures passing the park’s airspace and continuing north over Manhattan on Wednesday (3/29) included several Black Vultures, & at least 21 Turkey Vultures in a period of about 90 minutes. Osprey had been seen over the park, also moving north, in addition to a few other raptor species on migration. Further reports, as warranted… good birding & good gulling-luck, Tom Fiore manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm 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://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
