High in a tall oak tree located on the west side of Forever Wild path (~117-118th) across the path from a pine sapling. Stand on the east side of the path, between the pine sapling and the sapling with the yellow & white striped ribbon, and look west and up 50’. Was told that the grosbeak flew in to this tree at 2pm and that its routine for the past 8 days is to sit motionless in this spot till dusk. Binoculars needed.
Locate the only branch with leaves at the end (~3:30 R side), follow it left 8’ then up 4’ to fork in next branch with a cluster of leaves inside. Directions courtesy of Richard Nelson (Thanks Richard !!) The grosbeak just raised its head and is looking quite alert. ---- Karen Fung NYC Sent from my iPhone -- 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/ --
