The lingering Manhattan RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD was present again much of
the day at the small park by the American Museum of Natural History,
on the W. 81 Street side and near the entry to the Rose Center (aka
"the planetarium"), in & around the p
I have received a second hand unsubstantiated report of a painted bunting
in Suffolk County. Near the intersection of rte 104 and Scrub oak rd near
Quogue. A delivery driver spotted it and in discussing it he was shown the
painted bunting and said that was the bird. This was days ago so best of

At 9:30 this morning a* **Cackling Goose* was present at Miller's Pond in
Smithtown. It was somewhat darker than most Cackling Geese I have seen on
Long Island and had a relatively visible neck-collar, but was certainly
within the range of variation of the *hutchinsii *subspecies. It allowed

It has come to my attention that the correct GPS location of the bird is
actually 16.199, not .191. So the actual coordinates should be:
42 degrees 16.199'N, 74 degrees 07.361'
in case anyone wanted to follow a GPS to the exact point.
I know little about typical Rosy-Finch winter behavior, but
Here's the link to the photos I got. One of the other guys hiking
with me got better photos, I'll post a link to them when they become
available.

This is the most astonishing find in New York State I have ever heard of, in my
30+ years birding. More incredible than say, Gray-hooded Gull, Western Reef
Heron, or either of the wagtails. Those were all great finds, but they were on
the coast.

Good morning John
Further to the records you show below of Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch in the east,
the Ontario Bird Records Committee have accepted 13 records up to 2010 and have
two 2011 observations still to be reviewed. This spans a 36 year period from
1975 to 2011.
Happy Holidays to all

Hello all,
Sorry about the quick report and that it took so long to get back to people, I
don't have internet at home and was in a rush last night.
I accessed the trail at the Big Hollow Rd trailhead, also called County Road
56. A search for Big Hollow Rd trailhead should give you good direction
In response to several folks who sent him requests for more exact location
information on the bird David Rankin sent the following:
"I accessed the trail at the Big Hollow Rd Trailhead, also called County Road

Hello All, Congrats. to Dave Rankin,[and thanks to John Haas],
for the terrific/amazing upstate find and photos of the Grey Crowned Rosy
Finch!!! In eastern Suffolk as of yesterday afternoon the lone female
Harlequin found by James Clinton and Mel Cowgill last Saturday was still
present
As of yesterday, both Yellow-breasted Chats indeed continued at Bryant Park.
Photographs were obtained of both individuals, and they were seen about 5
minutes apart in the NE corner of the Library grounds and the vegetated border
just north of the skating rink.
Also seen there were the continui
John Haas, and all,
A fantastic report, clear photos, and a very rough hike for anyone not
accustomed to winter climbs in the region (high peaks of Catskill
Mountains)... the old Gorham, Maine FEEDER record gives (dim) hopes of
an easier way, with this one... ('seed-trail' down to the neares
The date was 30 Jan 1923, and the location Chili, Monroe County (pages 421-422,
BoNFR).

There is an old record of Gray-crowned Rosy Finch from near Rochester on 23 Jan
1923, published in Beardslee and Mitchell's "Birds of the Niagara Frontier
Region." As a single-observer sight report, it has spiraled down from so-called
"hypothetical" status to complete omission, from book to book
First, congratulations to Dave Rankin on such a great find. Secondly, I am
surprised no one has made comment on this bird. It would as far as I can tell
be a first record for New York. The photos are clearly a Gray-crowned
Rosy-finch, and the timing is perfect for a vagrant of this species.

A very good variety of birds lingering on with this relatively mild
weather - which include but are not limited to:
Rufous Hummingbird - this bird has been seen daily since it's
