Ann Shaw and I decided to chase some of the local (for us very local) lingering good birds in northern NYC. At Sherman's Creek/Swindler's Cove at the east end of Dyckman St. we found the two Orange-crowned Warblers, plus a very cooperative Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. (We didn't chase the Dickcissel in Inwood Hill Park at the west end of Dyckman since we have already seen it a few times, but we did hear from a birder we met at Sherman Creek that it was seen today.) Then we went up to Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx to look for the White-fronted Goose. We couldn't find it on the lake by the golf course and many of the Canada Geese there were flying out in the direction of the ball fields, so we drove up Broadway on the west side of Van Cortlandt Park. Just below W 251st Street we found about a thousand or so Canada Geese on the fields and quickly spotted the White-fronted on the near side of the flock.
