Plus a warbler sighting at 50th Street & 6th Avenue at the end of this report. Bryant Park: The 5th Avenue YELLOW-BREASTED continues. This is the one with the less bright supraloral region. The bird was seen in its seemingly preferred location at the north end of the terrace around the shrubs or a

Mid morning, from the Point restaurant veranda, a Yellow-breasted Chat was heard and seen, near the dirt trail leading to the beach. Water birds were relatively few in number, with Common Eider, Surf and Black Scoters, Common and Red-throated Loons there as expected. Calm seas and no wind may

Monday, 12 December, 2011 While a Swainson's Thrush is quite remarkable for this area, region, or indeed virtually any part of the United States in the middle of December, it is unheard of for a "golden-crowned warbler" to appear at all in this region - that species is an extremely "rare" bi

I went back and saw the thrush again, possibly there are 2 moving among the planters. But could not relocate the warbler, much to my frustration. The dark bar thru the eye was so distinctive and upper back and wings were drab, no bars, underside yellow. Understand that this sighting needs ver

Hello NY Birders, Leslie's e-mail gives me a good opportunity to let everyone know that I am once again writing the winter season Kingbird report for Region 10. The winter season extends from Dec 1 through Feb 28. While I monitor all the major NYC area list serves for reports, I really appreciate

Re: [nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Avocet - NO

I birded Calvert Vaux Park on Sunday Morning (12/11) and did not see the Avocet. I was only on the north side of the creek, but it would likely have been visible from across the water if it were roosting on the beach at Kaiser Park during the early high tide, as had been its habit. Still, it’s not
