[nysbirds-l] Virginia Rail at Abingdon Square, W. Village, Manhattan

2019-09-29 Thread Todd Olson
Evidently a Virginia Rail has been present in lower Manhattan's Abingdon
Square Park for a day or so.  A visit Sunday morning was rewarded with a
bit of patience.  Bird takes refuge in the green perennial patches, but
ventures out to forage at edges and more open exposures without
provocation.
