Spring migration has been quite evident in Central Park the last two days, particularly today. Most noteworthy was a single PALM WARBLER first found near Triplets Bridge (West 77th st. Entrance) and seen later by many in the Upper Lobe, with the overwintering YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER. Also of note, yesterday 2 COMMON REDPOLLS were found in the park, and they continued today, showing up at the feeders rather consistently. BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERONS have been in the park the last two days, as are GREAT-BLUE HERONS flying over. NORTHERN HARRIER and FISH CROW were other notable flyovers this morning. The Reservoir still holds RUDDY DUCKS, BUFFLEHEAD and NORTHERN SHOVELERS.
Though I didn't personally see them yesterday, the VARIED THRUSH and RED-HEADED WOODPECKER both continue in their respective areas. The woodpecker apparently is gaining color in its head.
