I got an email from the Metro Birding Briefs that a Scott's Oriole has been around Union Square park all month, but only a few people have noticed and it wasn't reported until today. This is a southwestern US bird, and its range is Utah down to into Mexico; this could possibly be a first for NY state!
The report came from Ardith Bondi, who posted some beautiful photos on her website.

I hope to be able to get there to check it out tomorrow!

Katie,
The bird was there this morning (Thu. 24-Jan). I left the site at 9a after it visited a roof for a drink or to bathe. Many birders were already there and I expect the birding crowd to grow some more.
Good luck if you go!
Ben
Ben,
We must've been there at the same time! I showed up just as it had flown away around 9am, but a few minutes later it returned and I got to see it before I had to go to work.
