    Details

    *Very rare, first NYC record. Seemingly the same bird discovered by Andrew Baksh some time ago, great job by Josh Malbin for closer scrutinizing the bird. Meadowlark with reduced white outer retrices, faint eye stripe, & overall, quite a pale bird. Distinct narrow barring on upperparts and central tail feathers. Seen in flight initially, located the bird on various perches in the vacant lot here: (40.65330° N, 74.01812° W). The bird eventually flew back to the grassy strip between the walkway and the water.
