Bryant Park, mid-Manhattan, in N.Y. City
Wednesday, Sept. 4th -
So many birders coming to Bryant Park of a sudden? Actually it is a popular
stop for many who can easily get there via many forms of public transit, and
for at least some even by walking - from their work places and back - and for
A *new species* for Bryant Park in mid-town Manhattan (N.Y. City), a Clapper Rail is also most unusual for N.Y. County as well, despite the fact the species breeds & is regular in other counties within N.Y. City. Discovered by N. Butterini Monday May 10th, & then with help from G. Willow, leading

I led the first of my fall twice-weekly NYC Audubon bird walks in Bryant Park

Last winter we had a woodcock sighting almost every week from November through

We saw the bird late this afternoon (around 4:30-5PM) and around 6:30pm it
went into a pine tree (next to the area where it was hiding) probably for night
roosting.

Took a couple of turns around Bryant Park this morning, saw:
6-8 Common Yellowthroats (maybe more? two "adult"-ish males...)
4 or so Ovenbirds
several small groups of White-Throated Sparrows
a very bedraggled warbler up the Plane Trees, southeast corner, appeared to be
a Cape May
1 Orange-Crown
Adding to Kyle's bryant park post we also had black + white, eastern kingbird
and swamp sparrow and on my way back to office I/f/o library on gravel had
northern waterthrush and most surprising working the trees was rb nuthatch
seems quite late

A quick 20 minute walk this morning at 8:00 in bryant produced some good birds.
Larry Trachtenberg and I had 10 yellowthroats, ovenbird,magnolia,
redstart,parula, and wilsons. There was more around but hard to identify high
in canopy. There was also a lincolns sparrow.
