Hi all, For those in the New York, NY this evening, you might want to give a look and a listen outside. It's quite the interesting night, with light and northerly winds and low cloud ceilings. Small numbers of migrants are visible (10X binoculars and 20-60X scope) in the lights of brightly lit buildings enshrouded in the low ceiling, particularly from my vantage point about 50m above street level and looking west toward 875 3rd Ave. Scanning the sky around this building and others nearby has been surprisingly productive (Green Heron, Northern Flicker, cuckoo sp., numerous small passerines, etc.), and flight calls (Swainson's and Gray-cheeked Thrushes are dominating at present) are audible from this height and occasionally at street level based on a few forays around the neighborhood.
