Central Park, NYC Saturday September 5, 2015 OBS: R. DeCandido, D. Allen, m.ob. and some excellent birders on the walk today which made life easy for Bob & I.
Today we had two bird walks, one starting at 7:30 am and another starting at 9:00am with most of the 7:30 birders continuing. This is the combined list: Green Heron – (DA before 9 am walk) Red-tailed Hawk Ruby-throated Hummingbird Downy Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Northern Flicker American Kestrel Peregrine Falcon Great Crested Flycatcher – 2 together Eastern Kingbird Warbling Vireo Red-eyed Vireo Black-capped Chickadee White-breasted Nuthatch Carolina Wren Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Veery Wood Thrush Gray Catbird Ovenbird Northern Waterthrush Blue-winged Warbler Black-and-white Warbler Common Yellowthroat American Redstart Northern Parula Magnolia Warbler Yellow Warbler Chestnut-sided Warbler Baltimore Oriole Miriam Rakowski reported a Rose-breasted Grosbeak at the Upper Lobe. The Green Heron at Turtle Pond was a hatch-year bird. During the ten minutes that I watched it fishing, it made five attempts and caught four fish, an 80% success rate- not bad for a youngster on a duckweed-covered pond. Bob tells me the fish were bluegills.
