Evidently a Virginia Rail has been present in lower Manhattan's Abingdon Square Park for a day or so. A visit Sunday morning was rewarded with a bit of patience. Bird takes refuge in the green perennial patches, but ventures out to forage at edges and more open exposures without provocation.

Just a follow-up on the Virginia Rail: I have seen a discussion on another board suggesting this bird *may* have been released by the Wild Bird Fund. It is too late to confirm either way, but I wanted people to know that there is some question of provenance before they go out of their way to try

There is an apparently reliable (yet still unconfirmed) eBird report this evening (April 23) of a *Virginia Rail* in the Loch, which is the small stream in the North End of Central Park. The last Virginia Rail known to visit Central Park, in September 2013, stayed overnight at least once.
