Sunday, 30 April, 2017 - Cenral Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City A LEAST Bittern has been discovered at the Gill, in the heart of the (very recently re-opened) Central Park’s Ramble section. This is certain to attract many, many seekers / birders / photographers. Please use not only common sense, but an extra dose of courtesy, for the sake of the bird, & towards all park-users & visitors. 'The Gill' is the small stream in the Ramble; the bittern was a bit west of the Azalea Pond section of the Gill. If enough of a crowd gathers, there may be N.Y.P.D. (police) presence in the area.
The Least Bittern is classified as “Threatened” in the State of New York. Do NOT harrass this bird in any way; thanks for using common sense! A Yellow-throated Warbler has been seen today along the south path of Turtle Pond - & there will be many other migrants yet to be reported. A good -and ethical- 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/ --
