Our 6-acre jewel of a micro-park finally opened its branches to fall migration today. While it's been a bit slow so far this season, last night's conditions made for an active morning, yielding a year-high of 24 species. Highlights were a four-sparrow Redbud Lawn (Lincoln's, Swamp, White-throated, and House, with Winter Wren too), Sapsuckers in just about every tree, three Scarlet Tanagers in close association at the south end, Osprey and Raven flyovers, Phoebes and a Pewee. Much fun to extract so much avian life from such a relatively small patch of NYC green. -Ethan eBird Checklist - 5 Oct 2019 - Madison Square Park - 24 species
