Just briefly, at least 23 warbler species were seen in the county (New York County, in N.Y. City), and of those, 22 species were found on 9/4 in Central Park, with many observers out all day long there. Most species were found in low to modest numbers of individiuals, esp. as compared with the previous week or so. An Olive-sided Flycatcher was photographed in the Ramble area of Central Park on Sat. morning. An ebird checklist (with some notes) was included for the Olive-sided photo on 9/4: https://ebird.org/checklist/S94153530 <https://ebird.org/checklist/S94153530>
On Governors Island, 2 Lesser Yellowlegs were reported, and other shorebirds around the county more generally included Solitary, Spotted, Least, & Semipalmated Sandpipers, as well as Killdeer. Some great sightings of migrants also continue to come from smaller parks and greenspaces, in all parts of Manhattan. Also in the 9/4 report (A. Barry) from Governors Island, of note were an arrival of more Field Sparrows, one of the species showing increases among that tribe of birds. There has been a lot of nocturnal migration which included birds moving on, while of course more also continue to arrive, & some that may linger. good birding to all, Tom Fiore manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
