Monday-Tuesday, 23-24 January, 2017
It seemed from some searching along East & Hudson rivers from 125th
Street to The Battery (south tip of Manhattan island, and a linear
distance of much more than 5 miles), on Monday & Tuesday (yes, in the
wind, rain & drizzles) as well as peeks at the reservoir in Central
Park and elsewhere, there was no push or 'fall-out' of any sort (of
birds) with regard to the nor'easter storm that just past. I'm taking
an uninformed guess that there were no exceptional finds anywhere in
the region, either, from this storm - unless some are yet to be
discovered or reported? If anything in the parts of Manhattan waters
- as above - there were fewer waterbirds, gulls & etc. in areas that
may often have numbers; a very modest number of Ring-billed Gulls
feeding on a few open lawns led to nothing of additional interest
there, & at the reservoir in Central Park, a paucity of birds (as
somewhat expected in such storms, as there is little shelter there).
good birding - & getting more-accustomed to using Myrtle, Audubon's,
and (far southwest of NY) Goldman's, as proper common names to what
many are still calling "Yellow-rumped" Warbler[s].
