I see your Downy Woodpecker and I raise you Brooklyn birds:
Bobolink
Eastern Meadowlark
Yellow-breasted Chat (a famous skulker)
Purple Sandpipers
I fold. All I have is this belted kingfisher taken by the pond yesterday.
pine warbler (?) out the window eating at the finch feeder in bucks. spotted but not image captured (thanks freebird) : bay breasted warbler 1st winter plumage female (also at the feeder).
I’m not quite clear on your syntax. The birds above are American Goldfinches. I’m willing to believe you’ve had Pine Warbler at the feeder, as the species (unlike most wood warblers) does winter almost exclusively in North America and a few remain at rather northerly latitudes where they will visit feeders (there was one in Prospect Park all last winter; they like suet.) Bay-breasted, on the other hand, is highly unlikely. They should all be in South America, and it would be news if you’ve got one. Separating Pine, Bay-breasted and Blackpoll warblers in immature non-breeding plumage is notoriously difficult, but Pine is the only one apt to be around at this time of year, but if you can get a photo…
Only one that will hold still for me this week, Northern Flicker.
GREAT WORK BOYS!!!
