    Eurasian Collared-Dove, Chelsea Waterside Park Just a short note in case subscribers aren't set up to get eBird alerts. There is a Eurasian Collared-Dove present at Chelsea Waterside Park - likely in the area since late June. It tends to be in and around the picnic tables by the wichcraft cafe...

    West 12th today New for my list, two Tufted Titmouse feeding during the heaviest of today's downpours in the London plane across the way.

    Black-and-white warbler on 12th St and 5th After the heavy rain, an unexpected bonus: a Black-and-white warbler working its way through the tree opposite our window. Perhaps other stragglers are also seeking refuge in unlikely spots?

    Cedar Waxwings Arthur. Just this moment had 6 Cedar Waxwing heading south over 12th Street at a rate of knots. If this weather is blocking movement further north, might be interesting to see what arrives on Wednesday or even Thursday.

    Eyes on the skies Arthur, and other occasional Manhattan Window readers. This afternoon saw a fairly good (or exceptionally good depending on previous records) passage of Broad-winged hawks moving south over Central Park. I had one group of 88 birds, and I know that counts have been in the...

    Hi Arthur. At least one of the birds seemed to be in this year's plumage. Best, Patrick

    Red-tailed Hawks Dear Arthur, just (09.40) had three Red-tailed Hawk rising form the area of Washington Park, then circling and heading north west (broadly speaking). That's the largest group I've seen in Manhattan, let alone down here in the Village. Good birding, Patrick

    Sharp-shinned Hawk: 12th Street Arthur. Be interested to get your take on this; I'm fairly sure I had views of a young Sharp-shinned Hawk across the end of 12th Street yesterday evening. Sadly I was without binoculars, but the bird was just above rooftop level, and heading south toward...

    Flurry of activity Today saw 'unprecedented' levels of activity on 12th... a Blue Jay across the street, and American Robin commuting between 11th and 13th. A circling Double Crested Cormorant threw me for a few moments, and two Chimney Swift made their way past - also at height. A Mourning...

    Dragonflies After racking up a reasonable 8 species in Bryant Park, and then adding to that on a walk back down the Hudson on the west side, this morning's items of interest from the window included Blue Jay, Mourning Dove and Chimney Swift. Of greater interest (possibly) is what appears to be...

    Red Tailed Hawk After a barren few weeks since migration petered out, there's been nothing to report, until just a few moments ago when a Red Tailed Hawk spiralled westwards, about 150 feet over the rooftops of 11th Street, pursued by an American Robin. Other than that, it's all House Sparrows...

    Today on 12th Street A drab Blue Headed Vireo bounced past the window late morning. A single Grey Catbird and two American Robin the only other highlights on 12th. Single Swainson's Thrush at SW corner of Washington Square Park (WSP) this morning.

    12th Street Oriole During the worst of this morning's weather, I had good views of a Baltimore Oriole and an Eastern Towhee from our 3rd floor apartment on 12th St just off 5th Ave.
