Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - Sunday, May 26th - Again on Sunday, Central Park had at least 18 species of migratory American warblers, as found by a great many observers, zero of them reporting any sightings as -early- as a euphemism. Some species were much diminished in numbers from some peak days earlier in this month, yet a few species of the warblers continued to show in double-digits for the park on Sunday. At least several Yellow-bellied Flycatchers were among the Empidonax-genus of flycatchers seen and carefully identified by multiple observers. This included that last species of Empidonax within the Ramble area of the park Sunday, and also seen by multiple observers in the Ramble area was Gray-cheeked Thrush, again carefully identified eliminating the possible Bicknells from the choices amongst migrating Catharus-genus thrushes, on Sunday.
Thanks to quiet, courteous observers and photographers for many reliable identifications, made with care, including birds pointed out by leaders of not-for-profit guided bird walks done near-daily in this park for the migration seasons, offered by such organizations as the NYC Bird Alliance, the Linnaean Society of New York, the American Museum of Natural History, and multiple other non-profit organizations working for the advancement of conservation and science in the best interests of the birds, and for education in and of our natural world.
