Saturday, 29 September, 2012 A Grasshopper Sparrow was reported from Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City) this morning by Matthew Rymkiewicz, seen at about 8 a.m. in & around the compost area with definite movement, perhaps more recently to the main composting area. This is a bit east of the park's East Drive and about near E. 103-105 Streets, as well as being uphill and west of the Conservatory Garden, in the northern & eastern portion of the park overall.
Also of some note was an Orange-crowned Warbler that I found just north of the Blockhouse, which is in the north woods of the park, not very far from 110 St. / Central Park North. There are certainly other "new" migrants about and a few areas are reasonably "birdy", even in lowered light conditions.
