Much more productive than Madison Square Park has been recently. This Manhattan park is south of 21st St and east of Park Ave.
Best bird was the first winter *WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW* seen briefly at the seed and peanuts scattered inside the fencing on the west edge of the park. This park is closed to the public but birdable from the sidewalk. Activity was mainly on the west edge where the seed was scattered and in the nearby Sweetgum Trees. Other species seen: Red-tailed Hawk (adult) Downy Woodpecker (male) Tufted Titmouse (3) White-breasted Nuthatch American Goldfinch (4) Dark-eyed Junco (2) Song Sparrow Checklist: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S51500065 -- Ben Cacace Manhattan, NYC -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm 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://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
