Tuesday, 18 April, 2017 - With a couple of sightings of Cattle Egret thus far in NY this spring, & now at least a few more being found in nearby states, there is also this recent news from the (Maryland) MD-Birds list: http://digest.sialia.com/?rm=message;id=1299377 <http://digest.sialia.com/?rm=message;id=1299377>
- - Also of possible interest, regarding Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, one’s turned up far ‘down-east’ in eastern coastal Maine… yet that was eclipsed a bit by the Vermillion Flycatcher that has been causing some excitement at the Hog Island Maine Audubon camp. - - - More locally, in Manhattan NYC’s Central Park, Chris Cooper found the lingering Orange-crowned Warbler at the area of the park known as the Point, in the southmost end of the Ramble section this morning, seen singing. Also lingering to today (Tuesday 4/18) was the brightly-plumaged (but first-year) RED-HEADED WOODPECKER, still in the same area it has favored for some months, just west of East 68th St. - at times, some patience may be needed to spot this bird, & it can be quite high in trees in that area. It may or may not be around a lot longer, as any day could see its departure onward to 'points unknown'. peaceful birding, Tom Fiore manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm 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://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
