Hi all,
The Red-necked Grebe is continuing on the reservoir near the southeast pump
house. Drake Ring-necked duck is asleep on the ice next to the pump house.
Two Red-breasted mergansers on the northwest side.

 Monday, 17 March, 2014 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

 At the reservoir a very short while ago, the Red-necked Grebe (in
 transitioning plumage) was still present, last seen swimming from central
 area towards the southeast. At the extreme southeast portion of open water,
 many ducks  some geese, gulls, etc., among which a drake American Wigeon,
 very possibly same individual that had been seen one day last week at the
 reservoir  then moved out, also drake Ring-necked Duck. (NB, the wigeon,
 when observed had its head very thoroughly tucked such that even the pate
 was partially obscured).  Other ducks - the number of Ruddys had doubled!
 (to two now), and there were at least 5 Wood Ducks, 6 Hooded Mergansers, 
 a few Buffleheads scattered around from SE part to NW  N. pumphouse; there
 were as many as 80 N. Shovelers loafing on the ice edge at the SE portion;
  gulls were in the mid-hundreds  most were at the n. end when I passed, I
 scanned a bit  came up with no specials among them.

 I did not check most other areas of the park, but did pass the Meer, where
 I saw little of note.

 good birding,
