There's a Hermit Thrush and a Common Yellowthroat in the plaza at 43rd
and 6th behind the Grace Building. They've been there for some days.
At Bryant Park, the management has ripped up the lawn behind the
library, I think to put in the skating rink. About 2pm, I saw only
catbirds, sparrows
Our NYC Audubon birding group had an excellent morning of birding in
Central Park. We recorded 50 species. The highlights were seeing Purple Finches
at three different locations (upper lobe, azalea pond and sparrow rock). We
also saw 9 warbler species (Parula, Black-throated Blue,
This morning on my weekly Bryant Park/ NYC Audubon walk, we had some
interesting sightings.
Of note was a roving flock of Tufted Titmice in the tops of the London Plane
trees. Although a common species, they seem to stick to their territories in
Central Park or wherever, and I don't recall
Kissena park was active this morning. Most notable was a northern
harrier and a broad-winged hawk. I spotted the harrier in the meadow
between the velodrome and Kissena Blvd. I spotted the hawk flying over
the wooded section of the park between the velodrome and 164th Street.
Also notable was a

platform this morning, highlighted (as expected this year) by a strong push of
Pine Siskins. Other species seen moving west in good numbers were:
-Yellow-rumped Warbler (difficult to get a total count of, as they were
Another perspective is that they're actually stopping off in places. It
seems to me that the morning flights are the only times that I see Siskins
(most years). When the flights die off, there seem to be none left along the
barrier beach. I can't think of many occasions that I've seen migrants
The Ramble was very busy during my stroll this morning (9 to 10am):
Several Goldfinches and Catbirds at Maintenance along with one each of
Magnolia Warbler, Black-and-White Warbler, Downy Woodpecker, and
Swainson's Thrush. An Ovenbird on the path from the Gill source down
to Evodia. Another
In just one hour this morning (7:15-8:15) I counted 1,840 Pine Siskins passing
the Fire Island Hawkwatch, Suffolk County. The overall rate of passage was the
greatest I've seen so far this season and at least comparable to the biggest
flights I've ever seen on Long Island. The average flock
Hello CBCers!
It's that time of year again! I've already gotten CBC dates from a few
compilers (thank you!). 5 are listed so far.
We need your help to provide accurate 2012/2013 CBC schedule information for
the online calendar.to help get as many volunteers involved in the count
