Friday, 27 May, 2011  -  Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

For my several hours of slow & quiet walking in the north end in the  
early morning, I found zero warblers (there), and precious few other  
migrants. However, at the reservoir's north side / bridle path was a  
singing Tennessee Warbler, and I heard reports that at least some  
other migrants of note were seen in the Ramble & near there, including  
Summer Tanager and Mourning Warbler.  I did find some flycatchers  
again including a modest number of Empidonax, of which a few continue  
to vocalize, such as Yellow-bellied, Acadian, and Willow Flycatcher 
[s].  Riverside Park's "drip" is still not drippy lately, thus I saw  
no birds at all visiting that specific location in mid-afternoon.  
There were at least a few flycatchers present in Riverside though, in  
addition to very modest numbers of other more-common late-May  
migrants.  A few Gray-cheeked Thrushes (or that type, at least) have  
showing in both parks. The only ones I've heard vocalize are Gray- 
cheeked, not Bicknell's.

Good birding - and a safe sunny Memorial Day weekend to all,

Tom Fiore,
Manhattan
