KMorningside Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City -
Wednesday, November 4th -
A brightly plumaged Bullocks Oriole was found by Alex Tepper this morning at Morningside Park in Manhattan - this park is between West 110th Street and West 123rd Street and has multiple entrances from both Morningside Drive, the higher-elevation and westerly side - and Manhattan Ave., the easterly side and also at lower elevation. Many, many observers and photographers have subsequently seen this bird by now. The Bullocks Oriole may be following sapsuckers or knows where drillings for sap made by sapsuckers are, and will visit those. Some observers are entering at 113th Street and Manhattan Avenue from where one walks west into the lower, flatter part of this park. Check elm trees, although the Bullocks may visit various other trees as well. Sightings of this bird were continuing to the time of this report.
Yellow-breasted Chat and Black-throated Green Warbler are two additional species being seen in Morningside Park today, in addition to the Bullocks Oriole.
Other birds of interest are being seen thru today in Manhattan as well, and there is a chance other vagrant or stray - off-course birds may be in Manhattan on this day. Of victories talked of today, this is one for local-patch birding, because not all special birds are found just in Central Park!
Thanks to many observers and photographers using the Discord app, and eBird with the Macaulay Library to offer sighting reports, updates, and media in both audio and visual formats. More reports to this list at a later time.
