Saturday, 21 April 2012 - there was clearly a good push of neotropical-wintering (& other) migrants overnight Fri. into today... with some rather early-birds coming in, along with the "overshoot" types such as the Central Park Prothonotary W. - & much of that movement came, it seems, up thru the central part of NY, with a component also right along the coastal plain... there's a lot to see today in at least a good portion of NY state. We should have a little better "picture" of all the activity by tomorrow as the storm passes, and things are sorted and sent around in reports. For now, the passerine-migration birding is pretty darn good, especially for the date.
Oh, yes if no one else is mentioning, there seems to be a Blue Grosbeak at the north end of Central as well as more than 15 warbler spp. so far seen; there had been Indigo Bunting as well and a fair no. of other more 'standard' spring arrivals.
