Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - northern part of park
Wednesday, April 22 - also regarded as Earth Day by many in the world
An American Bittern was found early-day moving thru the Loch in the parks north end, thanks to Christian Cooper and Kyu Lee for this nice discovery, and a bit later this bird re-found in the nearby Meer, on the small island just north of the new rink-pool center, with further thanks to MaryBeth Kooper. Photos, and more observers also later. The most elegant fashion statement being in Central Park on this day is this Bittern.
Many other species of migrants persist in Central and in a variety of other parks and greenspaces of Manhattan with the cooler, overcast weather after the passage of rain showers.
Shoutout to the local - NYC Queer Birders Club, and to all celebrating Earth Day.
