In light of the finds at Trinity Church recently here's a excellent, well researched and well documented article by Jacob Drucker on "The Mysteries of Micro-Parks" on the Linnaean Society of New York website.
http://linnaeannewyork.org/birding-resources-rba/bird-micro-parks.html The # of species for the hotspots on the chart have changed since the article was published. Trinity Church is currently at 42 spp. BTW, the Connecticuts and Mourning Warbler were all seen on the north side of Trinity Church. -- Ben Cacace Manhattan, NYC -- 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/ --
