Bronx Zoo has a couple sites where Rusty Blackbirds have been in (eBird noteworthy) numbers, showing fidelity especially for the Lydig Swamp Pond by parking lot A, Northern Ponds waterfowl exhibit, and wooded creek drainage North side of Children's Zoo. There were 11 birds today distributed between 3 sites, 8 birds yesterday, and 17 seen last week on 7th April... Almost all days the Zoo has been hosting at least a couple Rusties for past several weeks.
Pine and Palm Warblers showed up this week in very modest numbers and a colleague reports their FOS Ovenbird. Zoo is free admission on Wednesdays, and the Mitsubishi River Walk also public access (outside admission gates) via the Bronx River parking lot. Membership to Wildlife Conservation Society confers free admission every day.
