[nysbirds-l] Central Park Dec. 10, 2016 to look for for the CBC

To keep in mind for the upcoming Christmas Count in Central Park- as of yesterday at the 59th St Pool, there was still a Common Yellowthroat eating bread crumbs in addition to bugs along with an immature male Pintail and a male Wood Duck. The ducks are obvious, the COYE, not always. Ardith

Re: [nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Inwood Hill Pk Empid (Manhattan) - notes from Saturday's sighting

Correct on both points, which I neglected to mention. Pacific-slope was the prevailing belief even early on due to those recordings, a few other vocalizations that were heard, and the patterns of vagrancy observed elsewhere. Time will tell if this species pair is kept distinct, but for now we

I'm getting some serious déjà vu here. Originally reported at Yellow-belly, suspicions based on time of year led to more observation, evidence mounts for one of the two "Westerns," and then it's all hands on deck to figure out which. I recall last fall's bird allegedly responded vigorously to

Yes, walk west to Broadway from the 215th St station and the north to 218th St (there is a Twin Donut) on the corner), then west on 218th to the park at Indian Road. BTW, yesterday I did not hear the bird vocalize, but at one point when I had not seen the bird for at least 15 minutes I played

If you walk north before going west you can avoid the steps/big hill. I think the street is 218, but just keep going north til you see no stairs. A slight detour only. Sent from my iPhone On Dec 11, 2016, at 8:18 AM, Karen Fung easternblueb...@gmail.com

Sorry for the late post. Yesterday, Saturday, December 10, at 2pm, there was a Common Gallinule on Coopers Neck Pond in Southampton. The bird appeared from the reeds in back of the pond, opposite and slightly to the left of the only place you can view the pond from. It swam to the middle of
