[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay East Pond 9/16

2017-09-16 Thread Steve Walter
By all accounts, it wasn't a great shorebird season on the East Pond, with a lot of disappointing days. Part of that was due to the barrage of cold fronts, which cause shorebirds to move on. Now when I need a cold front to go hawk watching, I can't get it. So there I was back on the East Pond. I

[nysbirds-l] Mourning or Connecticut Warbler? Central Park North End Friday (15 Sept)

2017-09-16 Thread Karen Fung
All - I had brief looks at a large yellow/brown warbler with a yellow throat and complete eye ring in the Peter Sharp Garden (SW corner of the Great Hill) yesterday. It was in dense vegetation and never observed on the ground, so I did not have the opportunity to see it hopping vs walking.
