Tuesday, January 2nd - Riverdale neighborhood in the west Bronx of N.Y. City -
A Townsends Warbler and a MacGillivrays Warbler each continue on and near West 231 St., west of Independence Ave. - the MacGillvrays has as of Monday and again Tues., occasionally showed on the north side of W. 231St, and for that warbler one should listen for distinctive chip notes as well as by sight. The Townsends Warbler makes some circuits and has regularly made appearances to a pine tree just a few yards in from the north side of 231st, which nearly divides 2 driveways to private homes, about 40 yards / meters west of Independence. For good looks at either warbler, much patience may be needed, although some seekers have had luck in shorter visits too. Please continue to NOT walk, or drive, into the grounds or the driveways of the nursing home which is to the south, and be cautious of traffic in all of this neighborhood, which will include some NYC buses routed along Independence. Parking is likely to be possible along Independence north of W. 232 St., and may also be on 232 St., east of Independence where it is a wider 2-way. Many observers continue to come in to see these 2 warblers from around the region. Thank you to all for being considerate of the local residents in the neighborhood.
