Rufous Hummingbird on Grymes Hill
Hi All,
Howie Fischer just called to report a "text book" RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD
made a brief appearance on some Jewelweed in his backyard in Pleasant
Valley, Grymes Hill. Unfortunately, the hummer flew away towards
Wagner College after a brief feeding. This species is known to stay in
the same area for a few days, so HOPEFULLY it will return!
Howie is inviting any one who's interested in staking out the bird to
come over. The easiest way to get to this area is by taking Van Duzer
St to Pleasant Valley Rd. Park at top of Pleasant Valley Rd and
continue walking into the field... check around the boarders in the
Jewelweed!! (alternatively, you can park on Hillside Ave, accessible
from Howard Ave)
Good Luck, and PLEASE POST if you see the bird!
Happy Birding!
Seth
