Re: [nysbirds-l] Virginia Rail - 30-Oct (49th St. and 6th Ave., Manhattan)

2015-10-31 Thread Larry Trachtenberg 
I had to stop at my office 49/Madison before heading down to Dead & Co. at MSG 
thought I'd stop and look for Virginia rail no luck but at 430 pm in front of 
110 W 49 in same grouping of plantings just further west, I saw a song sparrow, 
catbird, male E. Towhee and a thrush which I am quite sure was Bicknell's. Now 
I suck at differentiating these thrushes and of course it was not singing but 
tail seemed much redder than grey cheek or Swainson's. No idea when each 
migrates. Who knew; quite the spot. Maybe John Mayer will sing birdsong
Tonight. As an aside I then walked south through Times Sq. Wtf. Why would 
anyone go there. Ever. Good birding in strange places if you look at it right
