Some might be interested in the sighting (and the photos) of the Swallow-tailed Kite that flew by Garrett Mountain in northern New Jersey earlier today... ( keep looking up!! ) A report, with photo link, is here: https://lists.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1204&L=JerseyBi&T=0&F=&S=&P=19222
- - - - - - - - - Saturday, 21April, 2012 - Central Park (Manhattan) migration doings... Just an update to some of the varied species seen in Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City) with not nearly all report in yet - and still some hours left in the day, a minimum of 18 wood-warbler species seen just in the north end of the park alone & a Blue Grosbeak also in the a.m. hot-spot (wildflower meadow & vicinity) with a slightly later male Cape May Warbler (early-ish but not as surprising as a few other things around today, actually), that latter in trees next to West 107 Street and the West Drive of the park, just a bit in from Central Park West & up a slope a ways. It seems that this was a fairly good migration in other areas of the northeast but in general, birds may have been well dispersed with a surprisingly good mix of arrivals that overwinter for the most part well into neotropical regions of the Americas-Caribbean. More on all this to come...
