Wednesday, 15 September, 2010 Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City
At the northern end of the Park (about one & 1/4 mile north of the Ramble area) this Wed. morning, there was evidence of good migrant arrivals, with a few highlights including 2 Yellow-billed Cuckoos simultaneously at the lower edge of the wildflower meadow (near the Loch) and an Olive-sided Flycatcher working the highest bare snags nearby & a Lincoln's Sparrow at the edge of the fence there. These birds and others seen by Tom Perlman & I. There were at least all of the dozen warbler species that were mentioned in Scott H's post here for the ramble area in Central this a.m. - also present, some in good numbers at the north end & at least one additional species was an adult Pine Warbler at the Great Hill, seen by Tom Perlman & I. A good many other species are certainly present and the potential is there for some interesting diurnal migration, perhaps in progress at this moment.
Good birding; think and act peacefully.
