Supplementing Alan, John and Rob from Massapequa's posts, I was at Bryant Park from 1230 to 1 today and my list is more like Alan's although not as extensive -- alas no bins with me. 4 sp. warbler (pine best); did have what I also thought was grey cheeked thrush but at different location on southwesterly side. The one pleasant surprise I can add to the composite lists is RT Hummingbird, on 42nd St. side of library just before park itself.
Reminder to self: when there are expected "good" winds or radar looks good: bring bins on train. L.

I did not see any of the species Alan mentioned in his post (maybe the Pine, but no bins so not sure), but I did have repeated point-blank looks at a male Bay-breasted Warbler in the plantings near the northwest corner of the lawn. At one point it was perched right on one of the wooden benches, no more than 4-5 ft. away. Also saw 2-3 Common Yellowthroats and 1 Catbird. Heard a couple of warbler chip notes mid-canopy in a sycamore, but never laid eyes on the vocalist. I can only imagine what must have been present in the park earlier in the morning, or was there when I was but in hiding. -- 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/ -- This email is confidential and subject to important disclaimers and conditions including on offers for the purchase or sale of securities, accuracy and completeness of information, viruses, confidentiality, legal privilege, and legal entity disclaimers, available at http://www.jpmorgan.com/pages/disclosures/email. -- 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/ -- -- 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/ --
