Saturday, 10 October 2009 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City
A SEDGE Wren is reported as of about 9:30 thru 10 a.m. this morning at the Great Hill in the north end of Central Park, by Starr Saphir with Lenore Swenson & at least 7 or more other observers. The bird has been in a scrubby or overgrown area behind a low green wooden snow- fence, not too far in from steps that take one up from the park entrance at West 103 Street (go left & up the steps immediately from that entrance) & is somewhat near a big bare stump & an open lawn area with some hay bales - also a landmark would be the southwest corner of the huge obvious metal cyclone fence surrounding an immense pile of wood chips & logs piled high (leftover from earlier storm recovery efforts) - the WREN was in the area behind (somewhat west of) the low green wooden snow fenced area (if looking west) & this is not far east of Central Park West, on the upper southwest section of the Great Hill. The group led by Starr were still seeing the bird as I got off the phone with them...
A profusion of sparrows & many other migrants are also being seen in Central this morning.
Good luck, Tom Fiore, Manhattan _________ -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES Archives: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
