[nysbirds-l] December 15th Central Park CBC preliminary results
On Sunday 109 participants took to Central Park, in practically balmy weather compared to last year, for 120th CBC. They counted 5,148 birds of 57 species. Despite some notable misses, for example Black-capped Chickadee and Red-winged Blackbird (a count week bird), both the total number of birds and species total falls well within the 20-year average for the park. See preliminary count results below. Other counts for the New Jersey Lower Hudson count circle took place at Governor's Island, Randall's Island, Riverside Park, Inwood Hill Park, Stuyvesant Town & Cove, East River & Corlear's Hook Parks, Bryant Park, Tompkins Square Park, Washington Square Park, Harlem area parks Lower Manhattan, and throughout Hudson and Bergen County. Preliminary reports also indicate four Nashville Warblers were seen on counts in Upper Manhattan, which is a record for the count circle. The final results for Central Park and the entire NJLH circle will be available at nycaudubon.org after count week ends!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Manhattan NYC -Am. Woodcock (deceased)
Hi all, Please report these birds and any other collision victims you may find at d-bird.org/ to help us at NYC Audubon track and learn more about bird-window collisions-- a major issue for birds migrating though NYC.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Manhattan NYC -Am. Woodcock (deceased)
Hi Romi, Unfortunately d-bird does not have the functionality to display uploaded photos on the map, only the species name. We use the photos on our end for ID verification where possible. It would be a great feature to add in the future though. For what its worth, it looks like a woodcock to me!
