I operate the Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens + Long Island bird alerts, where I do nearly all my tweeting.

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

@ZimmerliEllen Not observing it now

[David Barrett @FastMiler]

@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.

[David Barrett @FastMiler]

@BirdingBobNYC Yes, he was earlier

[David Barrett @FastMiler]

@BirdingBobNYC Not me! Ed.

@BirdCentralPark These Vortex Diamondback HD binoculars come in a variety of magnification and objective-lens sizes, including 10x42 for $229. Excellent optics, lifetime warranty. https://t.co/Fdk31RDjKN

[David Barrett @FastMiler]

@BirdCentralPark We get no payments for recommendations. These Gosky 10x42 are good quality and now 20% off, so $60. Great value. https://t.co/PldAXNiLhQ

@BirdCentralPark These are actual, living male Buffleheads you can see now near the Central Park Reservoir's South Gatehouse.

[David Barrett @FastMiler]

@BirdBrklyn Check the fenced-off area by the southernmost ballfield.

[David Barrett @FastMiler]

@ianbennell75 Yes!

[David Barrett @FastMiler]

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