Re:[nysbirds-l] Manhattan Evening Grosbeak, Riverside Park: Yes!! - Monday, 3/25

Seen at 1:30pm today by Christina Wilkinson; same area as my previous
reports (though her views were from the opposite direction).  Thanks
Christina for letting me know :-)

100 days of solitude for this little guy; who could've predicted this back
in December?!

Oops, just corrected -- the earlier post should've read March 23 and 24th
(Sunday).  Here's a link to today's eBird checklist, with a photo:

https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S54175907

I would love to know if this bird will make it to day #100 here, which
would be tomorrow, Monday the 25th.  Both of my sightings this weekend were
at mid-day, and if any of you are planning a visit, I suggest standing on
the Forever Wild path north of the little stream and carefully scanning
west, or downslope.  Today the bird perched for a few minutes on the base
of an uprooted/overturned tree (not the tree just north of the stream and
closest to the path, but the one NW of it), then flew several yards north
and disappeared into dense tangle.  My guess is that it has a few hiding
places in this area where it can stay motionless and undetected for long
periods of time.

Good luck if you try tomorrow.  Sadly, I'll be at work by mid-day.

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan Evening Grosbeak updates

2019-01-23 Thread Karen Fung
Hi Cesar,
It was seen by others in the same spot yesterday (22 Jan); I found this out
last night.

For those unfamiliar with Riverside Park, I suggest you enter the park at
116th and Riverside, and head down the slope to the base of the hill.  The
Riverside Bird Sanctuary will be on your right, and it is enclosed by an
iron fence.  There is a "Forever Wild" sign at the entrance, by the bird
feeders.  Start your walk there.  The grosbeak has been feeding on both
sides of the dirt trail, roughly at the latitude of 117-118th street, but
has also been seen further north along the trail as far as 121st.  It used
to end up in a tree on Riverside Drive across from Riverside Church by late
afternoon, but I am not sure if it is still doing that.

I know that further updates to these lists would be appreciated by others
as well, since folks from out of town have written to me privately, asking
for more information.  I live nearby but only have time to visit a few
times per week, so perhaps others will post their updates here.

Good luck if and when you go.
Karen

[nysbirds-l] Manhattan Evening Grosbeak updates

2019-01-23 Thread Karen Fung
Hi Cesar,
It was seen by others in the same spot yesterday (22 Jan); I found this out
last night.

For those unfamiliar with Riverside Park, I suggest you enter the park at
116th and Riverside, and head down the slope to the base of the hill.  The
Riverside Bird Sanctuary will be on your right, and it is enclosed by an
iron fence.  There is a "Forever Wild" sign at the entrance, by the bird
feeders.  Start your walk there.  The grosbeak has been feeding on both
sides of the dirt trail, roughly at the latitude of 117-118th street, but
has also been seen further north along the trail as far as 121st.  It used
to end up in a tree on Riverside Drive across from Riverside Church by late
afternoon, but I am not sure if it is still doing that.

I know that further updates to these lists would be appreciated by others
as well, since folks from out of town have written to me privately, asking
for more information.  I live nearby but only have time to visit a few
times per week, so perhaps others will post their updates here.

Good luck if and when you go.
Karen

The male EVGR is along Riverside Park just north of Grant’s Tomb. A low fence 
is along the park walk, and there are rose shrubs in fruit. Other birds also.
