Firstly, an apology to Jay McGowan and others who observed the 2 rare plovers at Sandy Pond, in Oswego County, NY on Monday; I’d not seen Jay’s report come up on the NYS list until the next day, and now on Tuesday, 9/14, at least the SNOWY Plover has been relocated by some on the scene.
.... For a couple of highlights from Manhattan, NYC on Tuesday, 9/15 there’s been a Connecticut Warbler seen & photographed in the vicinity of the monument to Mother Cabrini, located at Battery Park City Park in lower west Manhattan, and just north of the Museum of Jewish Heritage on the Esplanade - the warbler working in & around the wild garden. And near the opposite (north) end of Manhattan, a first-fall plumaged Red-headed Woodpecker was reported from Inwood Hill Park on the same morning. There are many, many more wonderful migrants being seen by large numbers of observers for Tuesday, all around N.Y. County. [There is still no apparent word or confirmation regarding the very recent report to this list of *least bittern* from Manhattan - perhaps a link to any such actual report, or any further details, will be forthcoming.] Good birding, 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/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/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/ --
