Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - A ‘female-type-plumaged’ BLUE Grosbeak was seen in Central Park’s Ramble area, just north of the Azalea Pond there on Tuesday, April 25th; thanks to M.B. Kooper for an initial report! Note that this was seen in the afternoon of Tuesday.
In the meanwhile, that ‘other’ Passerina [genus] individual, somewhat rarer-still (!) - the Painted Bunting of recent days, in Central Park’s northern area for all of its’ known stay so far, has *not been publicly reported in 2 days*, and, possibly has moved on. It is also *possible* that it remains in the county or even in the same sector of the same park, somewhere. Fairly good diversity of other migrant species were again seen (overall) in Central Park, and elsewhere in N.Y. County, which takes in Manhattan island. Good birds, Tom Fiore manhattan -- 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/ --
