City, summer 2024". Then later in the body of the post, in a classic bit of bait and switch, refer to these reports as coming from "around N.Y. City". How many counties would that encompass? Here is what Bob and I can find on eBird for the 5 boroughs of NYC: --- There are no reports of RBNUs in NYC for June 2024. There are two reports of RBNUs from Brooklyn in July 2024 (both from Greenwood Cemetery) - and zero reports from anywhere else in NYC. In August 2024, reports regarding RBNUs have come in from four boroughs (Staten Island has no reports), and the majority (>80%) have come in since 23 August (less than five days ago). There are about 20-25 total reports. As we look over the ebird reports from Central Park, we note that several of the reports from Sunday (25 August), came from people on our bird walk! These birds are often in deciduous trees at this time of year, and are much more difficult to find now than they will be later in the season. However, they are very social birds and will respond to calls. In any case, it's likely that we will see an irruption, with nice numbers of these birds downstate this fall and winter, although we do not expect it to be a major irruption. --- Looking forward to the next cold front, Deb Allen -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")

In our experience, when we see these birds in late August, it suggests an irruption year for the species. If we see the first ones in mid-July to early August, we might expect a major irruption.
