Jean Loscalzo, Eric Miller, and I revisited Manhattan today [1-29-12] to
try to make up for our inexplicable skunking last week where we missed
all 6 target birds.
Today we dipped on the Inwood Dicksissel again, spending two hours in
the morning and one at the end of the day; it was a no show. If it is
seen again please email me off-list.
We then went to Union Sq. where we did far better getting the brightly
colored Chat at the Gandhi statue area w/in 10 min of looking, and
shortly thereafter we found the White-crowned Sparrow nearby.
We then headed back uptown for the Am. Museum of Natural Hx. Rufous
Hummer, which again was found w/in moments of arrival at the W81 street
entrance, at the feeders. Then we headed thru Central park to go to
Hallett Sanctuary in search of the Red-headed Woodpecker. It was easily
found again w/in moments of looking, on the far side [opposite the
pond]. Also of note was a large flock of Grackles.
