Here's the preliminary list from Central Park yesterday. We had a total of 54 species and 4,262 birds. Preliminary count is 98 participants. Highlights were the Orange-crowned Warbler, Wilson's Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, Great Horned Owl, and the Ring-necked Duck (bolded below). Some big misses include Peregrine Falcon and Sharp-shinned Hawk, which we have as count week birds, and there was also noticeable absence of several birds (incl. Eastern Towhees, Swamp Sparrows, Fox Sparrows, etc.).
We're working on the full New Jersey /Lower Hudson tally, those results will be posted shortly. Thanks so much to all the participants!
