[nysbirds-l] PAINTED BUNTING/ Plumb Beach Brooklyn
For anyone that may not scour eBird, Brooklyn's third PABU this morning was found at 10:45 a.m. this morning at Plumb Beach in Brooklyn in the dune scrub just in front of the parking lot.Assuming a female given its all chartreuse green coloration. I would think a male would be molting into more colors by now but feel free to correct me. The first one was found on 12-29-19 at Brooklyn Bridge Park and last reported on eBird 2-23-20. I believe this bird was starting to show some male coloration in the last few days of its being seen. Another was a one day wonder (female type) at Canarsie Beach Park on 2-16-20, though it is possible if not likely this bird was around for longer but not heavily searched for since most everyone already had the BB bird for their year list. eBird checklist of today's individual with a few photos here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S65975042 Be well,Shane BlodgettBrooklyn NY -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
