Wednesday, 7 June, 2017 Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City Seeming as though some or all of the migrants found this day may have been hold-overs for the past few days, with poor conditions for a great deal of migration the past several nights… A Horned Grebe continued for at least the 4th day

Sunday, 4 June, 2017 - Manhattan, N.Y. City Perhaps the least-expected sight, and one that needs to be checked-on with the rehabber folks at Wild Bird Fund, was the Horned Grebe on the Central Park reservoir, present all day there, & certainly feeding. Not each spring that one finds that
