Bright sun, no clouds. First time urban birder. I work in Manhattan, but have never brought binocs. Birded south side along 40th, mostly in corner nearest library (activity greatest in areas where canopy was still in the late afternoon sun) All in plane trees unless otherwise noted.
Male orchard oriole - feeding on plane seed pods at top of canopy "neck breaking angle" Palm warbler, also feeding on lawn Catbird Brown thrasher - in lower branches and shrubbery Eastern kingbird - actively hunting in tops of trees Probable blue-headed vireo. Strong white eye ring, never saw sides of wings for barring. Size right, behavior right Ovenbird - heard not seen B&W warbler , NE corner near library in trees amongst tables, very active, perhaps more than one it was moving so fast. -- <http://goog_1544726016> - Payroll Assistant @ *Checks and Balances Payroll, Inc* - NY Certified Earth Science, Biology, & 7-12 General Science Teacher - Homemaker -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
