Friday, 2 May, 2014 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City Central Park is hosting a great variety of migrants this morning; at least some have been (for most part) just fly-bys and fly-overs, but lots of expected and hoped-for species are being seen, with 1,000+ eyes on them...
The singing (at least occasionally) Yellow-throated Warbler has been seen on the east side (as well as west) of the West Park Drive (roadway) just a short way south of the 65-66 Street Transverse Road**, which is immediately south of historic Tavern on the Green restaurant's site. This is not far east from Central Park West... (there are not that many other migrant species in the immediate vicinity of the Yellow-throated, but the Ramble & many other areas are hosting plenty, and the north end of the park had what appeared to be at least a modest "fall-out" with certain common May migrants in very good numbers. The day promises to be even a bit more productive than yesterday, and more reports are very likely. At least 21 species of migrant "American" warblers have already been found in Central, before 9 a.m. **That transverse Road also happens to be a little "north of certain ballfields" - more precisely, the Hecksher softball fields which are the southern-most ball-fields in Central Park, 'active' when used by their player-permit-holders. Wherever you are, if you're able to- step out, and look & listen!
