Re: [nysbirds-l] Unchaseable Varied Thrush, Manhattan, NYC yesterday
Congratulation, David, on hitting the jackpot: 777 followers at Brooklyn Bird Alert. You also reached 415 followers on Queens Bird Alert and 400 followers on Bronx Bird Alert. But the number of your followers on Manhattan Bird alert is staggering 5963 In total, you have 7555 followers It is amazing. You even cover Staten Island (in Brooklyn bird alert) and Long Island (in Queens bird alert) and Westchester (in Bronx bird alert) and New Jersey (in Manhattan) This speaks volume to the great work you do for birders all over NYC area and beyond. Many people appreciate all the timely info you provide in your accounts and many are benefitting a lot from it by getting on some exciting birds. My only wish is that those who follow you and get the benefit of your tweets would return the favor and start using the hashtag words for each account. It will only take an additional few seconds for every tweet they write. Just add #birdbk for Brooklyn tweets, #birdqu for Queens tweets and #birdbx for Bronx tweets and #birdcp for Manhattan tweets. David works very hard to keep the city birders well-informed. He deserved all the help he can get from the birding community.

[nysbirds-l] NOT yet, Monday as of 9 a.m. on Harris's Sparrow at Central Park NYC (11/5)
The excellent discovery by Elizabeth Paredes of a first-year Harris’s Sparow, seen by dozens on Sunday afternoon (11/4) at Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. Ciy) just west of the N. Meadow recreation center, had not been re-found as of 9 a.m. Monday 11/5, with at least two dozen observers lookin since early in the day. There is a fairly good chance the Harris’s is still in Central Park, & perhaps still in that same general area. Seeking out any sparrow-flocks and other birds on the lawns may be useful - not only in the one area where the rare western vagrant showed on Sunday (although it could be in that area, still). We’ll seek some additional info as well on the VARIED Thrush that was brought into rehab. in Manhattan, found after a building window collision, at 57th Street & Eighth Ave. (just a few short city blocks from the SW corner of Central Park). That is not a first Manhattan record, but of course another western & rare vagrant to this area. It could suggest further “western” birds to be looked for, which may have come east… keep this in mind in case of any “odd” looking birds especially this month. Plenty of other birds of interest have been seen in Manhattan, but for now, the above are 2 of the least-expected… good luck; updates would be appreciated to this list, as well… 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/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/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/ --

[nysbirds-l] Unchaseable Varied Thrush, Manhattan, NYC yesterday
After some days of strong, favorable westerly winds, at least two western vagrants were observed in Manhattan yesterday: the HARRIS'S SPARROW in Central Park (as previously noted here) and a VARIED THRUSH. The latter was a window-strike victim, found at 57th and Central Park West, and immediately taken to the Wild Bird Fund on the Upper West Side. Photo and comments on the find here: https://twitter.com/wildbirdfund/status/1059116791564263424 If the bird recovers, it is possible that birders might get to see it during or after its release. Usually these releases take place in Central Park. Those interested should stay in touch with the Wild Bird Fund, and we will do the same.
