  • January 6th, 2007: Cape May Warbler (first winter female). Last sighting was on January 17th. The sapsucker disappeared around the same time.
  • January 6th, 2007: Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (male).
  • December 24th, 2006: Cape May Warbler (first year female). First reported by Jeff Nulle on December 20th, just south of the 115th Street entrance to Riverside Park in Manhattan. It was seen feeding on tree sap coming from the holes that a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker had drilled. Very uncommon to see this species in NYC so late in the year, and *especially* unusual to see in this park.
  • December 24th, 2006: When not feasting on sap, the female Cape May Warbler would go after insects. She caught and devoured several large flies during the two hours I spent watching her.

  • This immature Red-headed Woodpecker was discovered by Lenore Swenson on December 15th, 2006. It has drilled roosting holes in trees on both sides of Riverside Drive near 92nd Street. This photo was taken on December 17th, the day of the Audubon Christmas Bird Count. I was part of the group counting birds in Riverside north of 96th Street, but went looking for the woodpecker after our count was completed.
  • 15 March: Red-tailed Hawk in Riverside Park. All photos were taken from Riverside Drive, looking over the retaining wall.
