@BirdBrklyn This Brant has died. Gus will report later. Thanks to all who offered to help.

This Brant needs rescuing. This dark-looking brant (? vagrant Brant) was seen at Calvert Vaux Park this morning not moving much. We thought it has a broken wing. After further reviewing the videos, we notice a line rapping around it. Check between 1:20 and 1:30. Video by Gus Keri

A Common Loon is back on the Central Park Reservoir today, near the middle at 92nd Street. #birdcp

@BirdBrklyn Late, attempting to overwinter!

@cab1998 Thank you!

Congratulations to @mitzgami @BirdCentralPark @FastMiler @BalliettBrad for their story today on the Bald Eagle at the Reservoir on NBC news! #birdcpp #CentralPark

@BirdingBobNYC No band visible in any photos

@kitsune22530546 @BirdCentralPark @500Birds @FastMiler David Barrett was the 2020 female Peregrine at the north end of the Reservoir banded?

@BirdBrklyn The Snowy Owl has moved out of sight.

The Snowy Owl of Coney Island is being seen on the beach west of the Amphitheater.

@BirdingBobNYC Cooper's Hawk!

@Napnyc1Napnyc (just a question) - are we sure this is a Cooper's Hawk? This is looking like a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk (or possibly even a Broad-winged Hawk juvenile) to @DAllenNYC and me...@FastMiler David Barrett what do you think?

A Cooper’s Hawk flying above ACP Blvd earlier this morning. #birdcpp

@BirdCentralPark Notice how water beads on the grebe's back!

Quality time with the Pied-billed Grebe on the calm Central Park Reservoir today.

@KrisMirasola Thank you!!!

Today’s #beach #reading 😎📚 Highly recommend reading David Barrett’s “A Big Manhattan Year: Tales of Competitive Birding” @FastMiler @BirdCentralPark #birding

@KrisMirasola Delighted to hear that! I hope you enjoy it.

@ZimmerliEllen Not observing it now

@BirdCentralPark @edu_birding @RiversideParkNY Is it still there?

Congratulations to @edu_birding on finding this rare PILEATED WOODPECKER in @RiversideParkNY near 86th Street earlier this morning, likely the park's first confirmed record of this species. 📷: @edu_birding.

@BirdCentralPark We have been checking the nearby area for forty minutes and so far no refind. Of course, these woodpeckers can be nearly undetectable when they want to be, and they will search for best habitat.

@BirdingBobNYC Yes, he was earlier

@BirdCentralPark Is Armando at his bench today @FastMiler ?

The Central Park BARRED OWL stayed through the snow, and is now resting and showing some floof atop the hemlock tree west of and up the hill from the Boathouse.

@BirdingBobNYC Not me! Ed.

@BirdCentralPark @EdwardGaillard David (@fastmiler) when you say, "so must I" - where are you flying off to?

The Carl Schurz WESTERN TANAGER has flown off, and so must I. It is likely to return, reports @EdwardGaillard, having been seen in the park in recent days.

@ianbennell75 Yes!

@DAllenNYC @BirdingBobNYC @Lucent508 @FastMiler Is it that rare in the New York area then?

I was a drop-everything moment when we heard about the American Golden-Plover (a hatch-year bird) on Randall's Island during the @BirdingBobNYC walk. Thanks @Lucent508 for finding the bird and getting the word out and @FastMiler for the i.d. that prompted 3 of us to run over.

@BirdCentralPark This owl remains in view now, above the Central Park Loch.

The BARRED OWL took a break from hunting to enjoy a lively preening session in the Central Park Loch earlier today.
