Joe Dicostanzo of the AMNH reports:

A beautiful, but still a bit cool morning for my American Museum of Natural History walk. There were birds around, but it did require some work. Highlights below.

Northern Shoveler – many fewer than last week, but still about 20 or so between the Lake and Turtle Pond

Red-tailed Hawk – two still seem to be nest building on the San Remo, but they seem to have shifted their interest from the north tower to the south tower

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker – at least three in various locations

Northern Flicker -  numbers are building up; at least five around the ramble

Eastern Phoebe – 2

Brown Creeper – by feeders

Golden-crowned Kinglet – one south side of Turtle Pond

Ruby-crowned Kinglet – 2

Hermit Thrush – 2

Yellow-rumped Warbler – 1, south side of Maintenance Meadow

Louisiana Waterthrush – 1, Indian Cave

Chipping Sparrow – 1, feeders

Swamp Sparrow – 1, above Shakespeare Garden

Dark-eyed Junco – a few at the feeders
