At Central Park's (Manhattan, N.Y. City) reservoir, the 3 swans-a-
swimming were further & definitively ID'd as Mute Swans; they'd moved
across to the n.e. part of the reservoir by mid-afternoon. On the
theme of things in threes, some good reports out of Brooklyn's
Prospect Park included 3 Red-necked Grebes photographed together on
Prospect Lake (& there had been one there about as long as the 1 that
has continued in Central Park.) Today, the Central Park R.-n. Grebe
was doing a fair amount of preening & wing-stretches, and it just
might be preparing to move on, but then again...we will see...
[p.s., on the report to this list for 3/29 highlights from various
sites, by the Saw Mill Audubon chapter field trip, one species in bold
- N. Gannet - at "Edith Read", well-known to a lot of downstate & Long
Island birders, for those not familiar, it is a sanctuary in coastal
Westchester Co., and thus any "sea" birds seen on waters there are
likely on the w. end of Long Island Sound. ...and "Marshlands" is more
or less next-door there, while all the sites noted are in Westchester
County.]
