The nicely plumaged MacGillvrays Warbler - for which we again thank Julian Batista of Riverdale, Bronx County, NYC - was again being seen, with a bit of patience, at the lawn location, huge pink toys too, a bit north of the nursing care building, on Tuesday 12/26 - paved driveway into which no birders should drive, but walk-in from Independence Ave, or from West 231 St. Parking is usually available within a couple of short blocks, try Independence north of 231st, for example. There are also buses that stop not far away, which connect at least to the number 1 subway line nearest stop of which is 231 St, then on BX10 bus line westbound, to the W. 232 Street stop along the Henry Hudson parkway service road, from that bus stop a modest walk, 10 minutes or so, west to Independence, south to 231 St. The bus ride might be 10-30 minutes according to the hour, can be busy or not-busy.
A very few people seeking the skulky warbler over these last few days have wandered into and on to private lawns in front of nearby private homes. Put simply, do not do this. We have all enjoyed a good reception from the folks at the nursing care facility and in general from others. Lets keep it that way, thank you! And thanks again to all giving reports of ongoing sightings, Good luck, Tom Fiore manhattan -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")
