Re: Central Park
Hey Rattlesnake – A little bird-finding, and lots of local color for an unforgettable spot? Gotta plug Birding at the Bridge: In Search of Every Bird on the Brooklyn Waterfront by Heather Wolf. A great (and informative) story of dedication to a patch! A great deal, $1.99 Kindle version. I believe the author has moved on to working on code for eBird…
Have a great trip!
Re: Central Park
You will end up being a Central Park pro if you read Red-Tails in Love: A Wildlife Drama in Central Park by Marie Winn.
Central Park
We are going to New England late September for fall colors and I’ll be birding here and there.
Does anyone have a favorite spot in Central Park, NYC, or other places in New York? We will also visit Manchester, NH, Acadia National Park, Stowe, VT, the Berkshires, etc.
Any hints would be appreciated.

Sighting of the Santa Marta sabrewing
I know this site is meant for Idaho sightings, so forgive me if I’m out of line here. I just read this piece and thought the group would appreciate learning about this sighting.
Calliope
Speaking of some birds having extra food eating habit Sibley app has wickapedia that states calliope will partake of sap from sapsucker holes
Re: Fly-catching
Have seen a calliope fly catching never see him at feeders read some where they are being smallest get chased off by aggressive Rufous
Re: Fly-catching
Thanks for the response. Yes, have watched our summer resident BC hummingbirds fly-catching, at times. Today, at least 4 ea BC & Rufous coming into the feeder. They’ve drained a couple oz in past 2 hrs.

Notice the last two shots here with a change in position to the light the purple dissapears and the chin looks all black.Irony I have been sorting through hundreds of images from the Smoky Bar Store that I took yesterday. There was a Broad-tailed Reported there on Saturday on E bird but no photos. I have not found one in any of mine. Pouring through all about birds etc. and looking at my shots and Rufous and Black-chinned of all ages and sexes are all that I have found so far but I am not a hummer expert.On Aug 2, 2022, at 10:55 PM, Robert Kiernan <photobirder@…> wrote:Black chin hummer silver city today what say yee on I.D.Ken Miracle
