Still present in the Conservatory Garden @10:15am. Seen feeding on salvia and sunflower blossoms in the NW corner of the North Garden ( the garden with the circular flower bed and dancing maidens sculpture in the center). Enter the park at 5th ave & 106th; the garden is to your left. The general consensus is that this is a Rufous hummer (female or immature), from those who got a good look at the tail spread.
Thanks to Nadir Souirgi who first reported the bird on Oct 31st; I believe it's been seen every day since then ( tho not reported to the state list). ---- Karen Fung NYC http://kayeff.smugmug.com Sent from my iPhone -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES 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://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
