Tuesday, February 2nd - Manhattan, N.Y. City At Carl Schurz Park, the female-plumaged Western Tanager made it thru the storm and was seen several times at & around the small feeder array, just inside the park near East End Ave. & south of the 86th St. entrance.
In Central Park, numbers of observers were able to view an apparent ‘Nelson’s' Gull [hybrid of Glaucous & Herring Gulls] at the reservoir, which stayed into early afternoon. Also on the reservoir was the ongoing Greater White-fronted Goose (of the form flavirostris) - as usual among many Canada Geese. At the n. end of the park, a Wilson’s Snipe continued, although flying off later in the afternoon. thanks to Peter W. Post for the update and the deduction on the Nelson’s Gull, perhaps a first for Central. good birding to all, Tom Fiore manhattan -- 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/[email protected]/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/ --
