[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park, Thu. 24-Sep-2009 incl. warblers & raptors
Date: Thursday, 24 September 2009 (12:45p-1:35p) Location: Bryant Park Reported by: Ben Cacace The newly resodded Great Lawn wasn't attracting anything other than pigeons and House Sparrows. My species total for the park has increased again. This time by 2 to 35 with the addition of Osprey and Broad-winged Hawk. Both migrating on variable winds in mostly cloudy skies. See complete park list below. Turns out my favorite month to visit the park is October. The Northern Waterthrush continues in the storage area at the southeast corner of the park west of the Outdoor Cafe. A map of the park can be found here (click "View Map of Bryant Park" in the right sidebar): http://www.bryantpark.org/the-grounds/overview.php Both male and female American Redstarts were feeding in the storage area. This location is a good spot for birds since people other than staff never enter the area. ** Total species - 7 ** - Osprey - 1 heading due W at 12:48p - Broad-winged Hawk - Small kettle of 8 E of the park - Rock Pigeon - 12+ - American Redstart - 2 in the storage area incl. 1 male & 1 female - Northern Waterthrush - 1 continues in the storage area @ the SE corner - Common Yellowthroat - 2 females seen mainly in the storage area - House Sparrow - 36+ I've submitted 45 reports to ebird.org so it was fairly easy to pull the data.
