and locally:
To Ardith's, Alice's, & Eve's excellent observations from Central Park
(Manhattan, N.Y. City) I'll add the following also observed there (&
many from the northern realm of the park) on Wednesday, 14 Oct. 2009:
Pied-billed Grebe (reservoir)
Great Blue Heron
Black-crowned Night-Heron
American Black Duck
Northern Shoveler (reservoir)
Sharp-shinned Hawk
Broad-winged Hawk (1, going thru trees at the Great Hill, a.m.)
Red-tailed Hawk
American Kestrel
American Coot (reservoir)
Laughing Gull (reservoir)
Ring-billed Gull (mainly reservoir)
Herring Gull (mainly reservoir)
Great Black-backed Gull (mainly reservoir)
Belted Kingfisher
Hairy Woodpecker (quite regular at n. end)
Tufted Titmouse
Carolina Wren
House Wren
Cedar Waxwing
Magnolia Warbler (several, n. end)
Palm Warbler (multiple, n. end)
Red-winged Blackbird
Common Grackle
There was clearly fresh migrant movement & arrival this Wednesday,
with many many White-throated Sparrows & Myrtle/Yellow-rumped Warblers
among the most evident & numerous species nearly flooding through the
n. end of Central Park, including some "morning flight phenomenon"
wherein birds are moving northward as & just after sun-up. No surprise
that here this seems to be different in nature from what is seen along
the immediate seashores, especially at times of strong land-bird
migration. In Central today there were also a very high number of Blue-
headed Vireos, and also a notable diminishment of Gray Catbirds in
just a few days.
