Tom Stephenson led the NYC Audubon group and reported several good species for this date, among them some winter species as it been all winter, the Xbills ( see above) , Pine Siskins with incoming spring migrant RUSTY BLACKBIRD.
A single COMMON REDPOLL was seen in the water edge in the Vale of Cashmere pool; later it was spotted perched by the bench near the water fountain at the south end.
Hi Peter,
Today I led a group of birders for NYC Audubon. We had some good birds on a nice but brisk day.
Almost 50 species; not bad for this time of year. Highlights include 3 species of Merganser, White-winged Crossbill, Pine Siskin, Rusty Blackbird, Pine Warbler, Peregrine, Monk Parakeet, and American Tree sparrow.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
