Just a brief addendum to the multiple reports from Central Park today with two species that I didn't see reported:
A Black-billed Cuckoo was working through the canopy on the east side of the meadow in Strawberry Fields at about 10AM this morning. Things were pretty hopping in Strawberry Fields at that point, and the persistent chirping of fledgling Cardinals actually seemed to be attracting a lot of warbler activity. Among the 10 warbler species I observed during my half-hour in Strawberry Fields, a female Hooded Warbler was very active along the wood-chip path, and giving its distinctive loud chip notes as well. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have also been particularly abundant throughout the week in Central Park, especially wherever there's a small patch of Jewelweed to be found.
