[nysbirds-l] troupial update
The Troupial - looks like Venezuelan Troupial, since the other two (Campo and Orange-backed) have orange backs - can be very elusive. Although there were several people looking all day it was only seen for a relatively short while while it was sunny, before it became overcast. Previous posts unfortunately gave no detailed information, so I thought I'd add some info. According to those who have seen it - not me - it has been seen at the eastern side of the parking lot just south of the Bryant Library on East Broadway, which is a 1-way road going south. This is on the east side of Gerry Pond Park, southeast of the coordinates posted earlier. The park is not that big, but many have not seen this bird in spite of spending several hours looking for a bright orange bird. As far as I know it was only seen today between about 12 and 1, in the trees and berries on the east side of this parking lot, and later the adjacent marsh. Note there is an immature male Baltimore Oriole in the vicinity also. It has been seen on its own and also associating with Robins. It was not seen this afternoon after about 1:15 despite extensive searching as far as I know. Good photos shown to me by Gary Strauss indicated no bands on the legs. Although probably an escape, there are established populations on the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, introduced but countable, so there's always a longshot of a hurricane bird. -- 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/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/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/ --
