Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City) had a nice arrival - some of the
birds may have actually filtered in on Monday, but clearly more showed
up overnight. At least 11 species of warbler were noted in the park
(and it's possible a few additionals were), although pride of place
will still go to Prospect Park in Brooklyn with their ongoing
Prothonotary and Yellow-throated Warblers as well as at least 10 other
warbler spp. there...
For Central, among the migrants noted this day were:
Green Heron
Solitary Sandpiper
Spotted Sandpiper
Chimney Swift
Eastern Kingbird
Blue-headed Vireo
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Hermit Thrush
Wood Thrush
Gray Catbird
Northern Parula
Yellow Warbler
[Myrtle] Yellow-rumped Warbler (building no's.)
Pine Warbler
Prairie Warbler
Palm Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
Ovenbird
Northern Waterthrush
Louisiana Waterthrush
Common Yellowthroat
Scarlet Tanager (early)
Eastern Towhee
Chipping Sparrow
Field Sparrow
Savannah Sparrow
Swamp Sparrow
White-throated Sparrow
Dark-eyed Junco
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Rusty Blackbird
Purple Finch
Pine Siskin
American Goldfinch
The above list leaves out a lot of species, including some that have
been around a while, & perhaps a few much more recent arrivals. Plenty
of birders out & about and there will be more to seek, as this latest
arrival generally, city & region-wide has brought a nice variety as
well as some of the rarer species as mentioned in rapid posts. Also a
good time to do local "patch" birding, of any smaller neighborhood
parks or green-spaces, as a "goodie" could be hiding in plain view
almost anywhere now, with not all too many leaves on the trees &
shrubs, although that also is changing fairly rapidly after our 1
summer-strength very warm day.
good birding,
