Manhattan sightings today included the lingering Rufous Hummingbird -
this bird was again making a visit to the nearby area in Central Park,

Today I lead a Linnaean Society trip to Floyd Bennett Field and Dead Horse Bay.
While many of the expected passerines were nearly non-existent, we did have
several highlights that more than made up for it.
At the start of the trip we tried for the Barrow's Goldeneye in the bay off of

A BLACK VULTURE highlighted a very nice birding day at NYBG. Other sightings
included; a second male Great Horned Owl, turkey vultures, a Kestrel, 7 red
tailed hawks including Rose who may be building a nest on the Library Bldg

New Rochelle was giving a nice display flying around again. Quite
spectacular. Also, had the Hermit Thrush back at the bath and a grackle at the
feeders today. Spring is almost here!!
