Friday, 21 March, 2014 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City
The RED-NECKED GREBE continues on the reservoir, seen at ~ 8:30 a.m. sleeping, drifting, preening off the N. Pumphouse. A drake American Wigeon was again near the SE edge; a pair of Red-breasted Mergansers were seen swimming together. The number of Ruddy Ducks had grown to at least 5, and another was at the Meer, where there were also a drake Wood Duck and a pair of Hooded Mergansers. Additional Wood Ducks continued at the reservoir, & the lake, & there were at least 3 Double- crested Cormorants at the lake, where an adult Black-crowned Night- Heron was again roosting on the west side of the Point. I did not pass the feeders. There were again "red" Fox Sparrows around, some singing. American Woodcocks continue in a number of areas, as they have for a few weeks now.
