Wednesday, 10 November, 2010 - Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y,. City) again featured a number of species but the flights seemed fewer in number & variety than the previous day's. Vultures were on the move again, only Turkey Vulture being noted this time, while Bald Eagle again were seen (at least 2 moving past at mid-day), along with a number of migrating Red-tailed Hawks. E. Bluebird was again seen and a few of these have been seen lingering a short time, while the feeders in the Ramble again provided occasional Pine Siskin along with the many American Goldfinches and other typical feeder species. The sparrow numbers and diversity had slacked off, and at the wildflower meadow, a short search did not reveal a redpoll as had been seen there Tuesday. Overall it seemed much of the previous day's excellent flight had simply moved on which was the impression anyhow while it was going. Some of the same waterfowl were seen on the various water- bodies.
