Some of the highlights for me today:Bird of day and view of the day:  
Baybreasted Warbler @ Oak Bridge/Upper Lobe.  Charles Colwell & David (from 
London)shared the close, detailed viewing of the Baybreasted after putting in 
much time chasing it at tree tops and around the Upper Lobe.and Blue-winged 
Warbler bathing in the Gill about 11 amand I was happy to see a lovely Palm 
still about @ Warbler Rockand to catch the Summer Tanager (which I missed on 
Tuesday) flying low near Warbler Rock and Rivieraa lovely view of Woodthrush on 
a log in same wooded area and lst sighting of Swainson Thrush @ Tripletts Br.2 
Black-crowned Night Herons on LakeHairy Woodpecker @ Evodia Field SW corner  I 
had many of the warblers listed by Chris & Joe DiC, 16 warblers for the day 
Chris' estimate of 23 warblers today is increased by l, the Blue-Winged bathing 
in the Gill.

Pied-billed Grebe close to west pumphouse north end of Reservoir
1 American Coot
on west/south sides no other surprises; mostly No. Shovelers, Ruddies, Can. 
Geese, Mallards, and usual gulls as far as I could tell.

Unfortunately, little work is being done on the now torn up north stretch of 
the Reservoir - no workers around today, and the 2 I I saw yesterday were 
having an early lunch - never saw anyone working there after they dug up the 
track and erected fences so we can't bird along that stretch.  I called the 
79th St. Yard, l/w, no one got back to me.

3 Ringed-neck (M) Ducks in NE section of Reservoir seen by me @ 11:20 am.
In addition 2 American Coots
16 Buffleheads
11 Gadwalls
many No. Shovelers and Ruddy Ducks
Haven't seen Hooded Mergansers for a few days
John Beauchamp said he saw 6 Monday, 11/10 on eastside - I didn't find any 
later in the day
11/10 Mon.:  Palm W., Golden-crowned Kinglets 4, Pinetum
91st/West Drive 2 beautiful (M) Brown-headed Cowbirds

Yesterday afternoon went to Inwood - didn't find Dickcissel - others the same.  
If you go I suggest bringing seed and distributing in cement areas  cement   
There are well over a hundred sparrows feeding along there, and being 
disturbed, flying off, up into the trees.
As for Woodcock, went there, too, w/o success - a loud smelly stifling 
atmosphere.  Cd't locate the bird.

Sorry so late - didn't have computer time.  Blue Grosbeak in maintenance field 
on Friday, south end near aster bushes & poke berries - also seen by Bob Ruvello
Blue Grosbeak was on little path east of regular woodchip path to Main. Fld.  
Then a Black Throated Blue warbler arrived in same small space, much smaller 
than large blue Gros-beak (6-3/4").  Considering whether this was Indigo 
Bunting, discarded because Indigo is same size as Blk thr Blue W. (5-1/2").  
Blue Grosbeak was overall deep blue with wing fringes dull golden, head not 
visible.

As far as I know, Yellow-throated Warbler spotted by Roger Pasquier this 
morning about 7:15 was seen again @lamppost 6953 near Quotieden Cafe by (??) @ 
about 10? or so and not since, though many have tried to find it.

Hooded Warbler much more cooperative:  I last saw it SE of feeders, either from 
Captain's Bench or from sidewalk east thereof.  It's a (m) beauty.  The Point 
was very active in early morning:  Prairie W., all the other warblers seen of 
late there, Northern Waterthrush viewed from Pt. in Oven, Spotted Sandpiper 
ditto, which I last saw rounding the bend of Riviera westward.  Yellow Warbler 
@ Willow Rock in Willow tree along Lake.  Sharp-shinned Hawk seen from feeders. 
 Black-throated Green Warblers reported yesterday and seen again today; also 
Blue-headed Vireos & Warbling Vireos Point & Bow Bridge areas; Chimney Swifts 
overhead.

Just 3 days until 2013 Xmas Bird Count (8am South Pumphouse Reservoir)

12/12/13 Thursday
Ringed-Neck Duck continues at Reservoir, SW section around 11-12, still tucked 
in
Mary Kelly was circling the Reservoir again to try to pick up Common Merganser 
she did see yesterday.  In weather like this, underwater is warmer than above 
water, so most likely she missed it trying to avoid slipping on the ice while 
scanning and exercising.  She doesn't have a computer to make a report but if 
anyone is out tomorrow, keep the above in mind.
About 8 Hooded Mergansers
About 10 American Coots
Small # of Ruddies
Over 100-125 Northern Shovelers
1 (m) Bufflehead
Canada Geese - a good flock
a few Blackbirds inside park @ 90 St/CPW

[nysbirds-l] Central Park Bird Report - Common Merganser (f) Reservoir FOS

2013-11-29 Thread Patricia Pollock
11/28/13 & 11/29/13, Thanksgiving & Friday
Pat Pollock

There is a (f) Common Merganser Fos, on NW side of Reservoir, found by me 
yesterdqy @ about 3-3:30 p m and picked up again this morning in same area 
feeding close to the retaining wall much of the time.  Light @ 8:30 am poor for 
details.  The Red-throated Merganser (f) and Common  Merganser are quite 
similar.  We get both species usually for short and infrequent visits.  The 
light yesterday in afternoon was stunning.  This was my 1st opportunity to use 
a computer.  
Inaddition to Com  M erganser, Ring-n ecked Duck was present this morning & 
Thursday.  Today I counted 10 Hooded Mergansers, mostly on eastside, 5 American 
Coots, 4 Buffleheads and 4 Pied-billed Grebes.
At the Pool the Northern Pintail was not present today but I had seen it a few 
days ago @ the Pool.  There were 5 Buffleheads, and 5 or more Wood Ducks which 
were frequently hidden along the north shore low-lying bushes.
@ the Feeders yesterday a beautiful (m) Baltimore Oriole appeared, Carolina 
Wren, White-breasted Nuthatch, Fox Sparrow.  A Red-tailed Hawk flew in, 
perched, flew across to another perch and gave us quite a show.
On Thursday I noted 2 American Black Ducks on the Reservoir.
