Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - Monday, May 15th - A Summer Tanager was again seen in Central Park, by multiple observers. This species has had a very good run within the county this month.
For the park as a whole, at least 25 species of American Warblers were found, by many observers collectively for the day. And for the Ramble area only, of Central Park, more than 20 of those warblers were present, including observerations of up to 20 warbler species by independent observers on the morning into afternoon. Among these many species was Worm-eating Warbler. Multiples of Ruby-crowned Kinglet continued to be seen by reliable observers careful with their counts and reports; some sightings have been of 2 individuals at one time, and the sightings are from locations some of which are a mile or more apart on the same day or in the same hour (and that kinglet species also has continued in a no. of other sites in the county as well). A number of sightings of Gray-cheeked-type Thrush-sp. have been ongoing, with some not heard, and some only presumed one of the 2 likely candidates in the duo of that type in our area. It’s as likely as not by now that both nominate Gray-cheeked, as well as the scarcer Bicknell’s have continued, but either should be identified to species with much care. More than 100 species of birds were found on the day, 5/15/’23 for Central Park alone. Thanks to the many quiet keen observers for so many finds and many excellent reports.
