Central Park, North End Tuesday, October 11th Malcolm Morris, Ken Chaya and I were fortunate to run into Tom Perlman on the Great Hill late this afternoon. Tom was on his way home but had just seen a Blue Grosbeak in the Wildflower Meadow. The three of us headed over there, where we found the the grosbeak at 5:30 pm on the west side of the meadow, moving back and forth across the fenced path that leads into the meadow from the 102nd street transverse, just west of the big red oak. It was amazingly cooperative and remained in close view for well over 20 minutes. It called occasionally, and appeared to be a female. Hopefully the bird will still be there in the morning.
Good luck if you go!
