Sunday, 10 April 2016 This possible S.-t. Kite report was posted to the CT-Birds list, earlier this Sunday. I do not know the observer and have no other details to offer; the report suggests the bird seen was perhaps heading "towards N.Y. City." - http://digest.sialia.com/?rm=message;id=1167105
------------------- At Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y.City), the Louisiana Waterthrush I first reported here 6 days prior is still at the same location as first found, by the Hallett Sanctuary & the Pond in the park's SE sector. By now, at least 25+ birders have been able to see it there, & some have been able to photograph it as well (all without a need to play a single note on any device or in any way harass!) In other warblers, at least 3 other spp. have continued at Central as well, with a few Palm, a slight increase in Pine & just a few Myrtle/ Yellow-rumped Warblers still around in various areas including the n. & s. ends of the park as well as the vicinity of the Ramble. Overall, there seemed to be only the slightest change in variety & numbers, although swallow numbers did appear to be less than in the rain of Saturday (which is not so unusual, often at least in Central, a greater no. & variety of swallows will be seen in inclement weather, rather than lovely sunny clear weather, in the spring migration season). 2 Hooded Mergansers were still at the CP reservoir, and also lingering there are N. Shovelers, Buffleheads, Ruddy Ducks, Gadwall, & many Double-crested Cormorants, plus the usual 3 species of gulls. Ethical birding - & quiet for the sake of the birds to all, Tom Fiore Manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES 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://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
