[nysbirds-l] (slow) Central Park, NYC 4/22

Sunday, 22 April, 2012 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City After the excitement of a couple of semi-rarities and a bunch of early arrivals the day before, Central was very slow as the rains approached on Sunday morning. A few of us, at least, tried the areas that had been productive on

[nysbirds-l] raven nests

Went to look for the raven nest on the bank building crevice on Main in New Rochelle today that John reported the other day.  Found the nest but no birds.  It's in an unusual place for a ravens nest but it sure appears to be one albeit a small cramped one.  Will check this week on a nicer day

RE:[nysbirds-l] Western Palm Warblers

Hey Benjamin, The disparity in spring vs. fall phenology of Western Palm Warbler in NYS is striking--especially so because conspecific Yellow Palms have an almost oppositely disparate schedule! You are probably correct that these taxa don't get the critical attention they deserve, but many of

[nysbirds-l] Western Palm Warblers

Hi All, Yesterday, I observed one Palm Warbler of the Western subspecies (*palmarum*) amongst some other "Yellow" Palms (*hypochrysea*) in Central Park. Believing this to be a notable observation because I knew they are at least very uncommon in Spring in the northeast, I photographed it:

[nysbirds-l] Indigo Buntings - Sayville, Suffolk

Didn't have to go very far to view some good birds. I had 2 male INDIGO BUNTINGS literally at my doorstep this morning. They were walking up the stems of some recently seeded dandelion and picking the remaining seeds off the heads. My first RUBY THROATED HUMMINGBIRD of the season was at my
