Hi All,
Given the recent case of the Red-necked Stint (which vanished from
Massachusetts only to show up in NY), I figured it was worth forwarding this
fantastic find up in Plymouth, MA. Certainly a bird to keep one's eyes open
for!

Hi All,
This was just put on out the ABA Rare Bird alert Facebook Page. As this is the
first record of this species in North America since 1981, and is usually
considered endemic to the Bahamas (all prior US records are from Florida), I
think it may warrant posting here See link below, and
Valley is only 2.5-3 hours away from
NYC-- essentially the same distance from NYC to the Catskills or Montauk.
Though the google doc is certainly an extra hurdle it is well worth the
trouble, as this bird is a beast to behold.

Hi All,
Greg Lawrence and I did a round of the more heavily birded areas in Manhattan
today, scrounging up some of the half-hardies and rarities around.
At Inwood Hill Park, we had the DICKCISSEL and the previously mentioned
NASHVILLE WARBLER (quite vocal) around the ballfields at the end of
some 2 COMMON GOLDENEYE, and 2 LESSER
BLACK-BACKED GULLS, no other noteworthy species were seen from the point.

Hi All,
Here are a few more pics of this hummer:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/58638795@N08/
The first, blurry picture, shows the gorget shining (looked orangey and pinkish
depending on angle), as well as a nice tail-spread, not really revealing a
notch in R2, but definitely showing the R1>R2>R3
s immediately east to the
entrance to the Rose Center of the AMNH. See geotag on the photos. The bird
appeared to roost in this area, so it seems reasonable that the bird will
continue tomorrow.
