Friday, 15 April, 2016 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City just to add slightly to Anders' note, the area where the Yellow- throated Warbler had been, for those not fully intimate with the local (birder & other) place-names in Central Park, the area of Cedar Hill is -
just east of the East Drive of the park, & immediately south of the E. 79th Street transverse road. This is not that far from Fifth Ave., the east side of Manhattan. In this case the specific area is near the upper part of the hill (& a larch tree is a conifer that does not maintain needles all year-round as most conifers do, with a distinctive look compared with the many other conifers that are growing at Cedar Hill. The statue of the "cat" is right along the East Park Drive, on a rock face at the eastern-most edge of the Ramble proper, facing to the roadway & visible from there, or parts of the upper Cedar Hill. The 'cat' of the statue is (of late) in a black color, in a bronzy setting against a vertical bit of rock outcropping. This area is also very near to the Boathouse cafe, in Central Park, being at most a 5-minute walk, all uphill, just north / uptown. Full name of the early-birder observer is Matthew Rymkiewicz, a regular finder / reporter of birds in the NYC region, including Central Park. It is always interesting to see which of the races of Yellow-throated Warbler is present in the city parks & elsewhere in their N.Y. appearances. This can be tricky to ascertain with certainty, outside of close observation &/or excellent close photographs, which are likely to be made available as this one sticks. Various other birds are around with at least a bit of fresh migration seeming apparent... good luck, tom fiore - manhattan ................. >>> Date: 4/15/16 4:36 am From: Anders Peltomaa <anders.peltomaa...> Subject: [nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Yellow-throated Warbler continues Reported this morning by Matt R.
