Sighting

Observation Details: Just north of the Loch across from the first cutout, south of the Loch walking path. Initially heard singing from the 1st cutout, then we went around to the north side to get a closer look/listen. Heard more singing there - stuttering complex song ending on a rising note. Thanks to a recent tip from Tim Healy, I understand that Gray-cheeked Thrushes can sometimes pepper in a few songs in their repertoire that end on a rising note, but only Bicknell’s will do that consistently, so we were careful and listened intently for a long time. Each full song we heard ended in that rising note. Good but not great audio recording to be added, including a few calls heard as well. Although the bird was mostly hidden by dense foliage, we finally got a decent view and noted minimal eyering, consistent gray coloring throughout, but a slight warmer tone to the tail feathers. Spotted breast. Checklist Comments: Showing Cindy a taste of the birds of Spring in Central Park. Started at the north end, hitting the Pool, the Great Hill, the North Woods, the Loch, Green Bench, brief look at the Harlem Meer and the Nursery. Then worked our way down to the Reservoir, Pinetum, Summit Rock/Tanner’s Spring, and Turtle Pond. Finally a brief walk through the Ramble before exiting the park at 72nd st.

Great app for bird lovers
I love this app! It’s a wonderful way to track birding sessions, and also connect you with fellow birders. I also really like the unidentified bird section, it’s a great community tool to help figure out what a never-before-seen bird is!

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.

Loving it
I really enjoy being able to interact with other birders on this platform! This seems like a great way to meet other birders and find some new spots.

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.
