Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City Saturday, Sept. 24th - A strong migration seen around the city included at least 28 species of American warblers in this one park, with ongoing Connecticut Warbler as well as Hooded, Canada, Wilson’s, Bay-breasted, Cape May, Tennessee, and diverse others. Some of these were likely lingering birds. This passage also included more than 550 Broad-winged Hawks (possibly many more) and at least 11 other raptor species. Flycatchers moving included Eastern Kingbird, Great Crested Flycatcher and a minimum of four more flycatcher species. Four wren spp. were found with Marsh, Winter, House, and Carolina Wrens. Field, Chipping, Swamp, Lincoln’s, Song, Savannah, and White-throated Sparrows were among that tribe with E. Towhee also noted. A few arrivals will be reported in a future report. A very large number of instant-alert reports go out to local N.Y. County birders via a “group me” service, which has been the 1st source of most rare species of birds seen in New York County for some time. Thanks to all who have added to those and to the overall knowledge base for the county.
peaceful 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/ --
