[nysbirds-l] Manhattan / N.Y. County, Aug. 12-19 - 22 spp. of Warblers, Y.-br. Chat, more migrants

2020-08-19 Thread Thomas Fiore 
Wednesday Aug. 12th thru Wednesday, Aug. 19th -
New York County (in N.Y. City) including Manhattan:

Only a sampler of some sightings, with a number of nice recently-found species. 
Further reports in coming days with more complete listing of migrants for New 
York County (a county in N.Y. City)  

There have been Red-breasted Nuthatches continuing their (at least) eastern N. 
American dispersal south, and so far seen in at least 8+ states in increasing 
numbers, with many observers noting first-of-season, or first in some time, 
etc. - max. numbers so far seem to be in New England on into the coastal areas 
on Long Island (Sound & seashore sides & interior) plus coastal & near-coastal 
N.J. BUT this could still be reflective of many observers in-position to seek 
coastal birds. A high count of up to 14 in one day at Central Park is 
indicative of many more that may yet irrupt… we shall see. A nice brief piece 
on these movements was already placed in the Cornell Lab. of Ornithology’s 
Birdcast site - 
https://birdcast.info/scientific-discussion/migration-alert-red-breasted-nuthatch/
 


A Yellow-breasted CHAT has appeared - “again” in the same area of the Ramble of 
Central Park that one was seen often in mid-late spring of this year, the 
“Tupelo Meadow” section, with multiple observers later on Wed., 8/19 & some 
photos also obtained - & thanks to J. Spindel for the find & getting word out.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird - diurnal migrants moving, all August days but 
especially after 8/14. Of course many also now stopping off to feed & rest, in 
multiple flowered-locations all around.

Common Nighthawk - migration flights have begun and some in New England at 
least have featured up to multi-hundreds. In Manhattan, at least 5 passed the 
eastern edge of Riverbank State Park, along the Hudson River near W. 145 
Street, from 6:55 to 8:10 pm, Tuesday, 8/18.

Red-shouldered Hawk, photo’d. flying low over Central Park on 8/15, is an 
interestingly-early date for the species at Manhattan, and given it being a 
non-adult, perhaps an indication of relatively-local breeding, even 
just-possibly from the same county or perhaps a somewhat adjacent county, which 
would thus include several states (CT & N.J. both being fairly nearby).

Eastern Kingbird - diurnal migrants, up to 8 per hour in the 7-10 am periods on 
8/18 & 8/19; these in addition to v. locally-breeding birds (some of which may 
still be in family-groupings).

Baltimore Oriole - groups of over a dozen, including one group of 17; these 
most notably on 8/18, but also prior migrants; all these in addition to various 
locally-breeding birds in many places.

Rose-breasted Grosbeak - just starting to appear in places where they do not 
breed, such as Central Park; some on 8/18 & also 8/19, in two parks, 4 
locations.  Also being seen in modest numbers have been Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, 
a very few Veery, & a very scant no. (as reported, at least) of ‘icterids' 
other than B. Orioles, with some Bobolinks, & occ. small early-day flocks of 
Red-winged Blackbirds & poss. some others of the blackbird tribe.  There also 
have been some flycatchers besides E. Kingbird on the move, including some of 
Empidonax, & Contopus genus.

American Warblers - a minimum of 22 species in the 8-day period of this report 
- with up to 18 spp. present on Monday, 8/17, and different species also on 
days before & after that. None of these especially early now, although it is 
far from any peak-period for several of the species found such as (esp.) 
Yellow-rumped [Myrtle] Warbler.

Blue-winged Warbler (modest to low numbers so far)
Tennessee Warbler (very scant, as of 8/17)
Northern Parula (2 sightings & rather early)
Yellow Warbler (multiple and in many, many locations)
Chestnut-sided Warbler (increasing but not that many)
Magnolia Warbler (scant, if more than 1 individual seen)
Black-throated Blue Warbler (several - in multiple areas)
Yellow-rumped [Myrtle] Warbler (one, poss. two individuals - v. early for sites 
in N.Y. County)
Black-throated Green Warbler (rather early; at least 2 individuals - in 2 parks)
Blackburnian Warbler (adult male in Central Park, n. woods, 8/17; possibly 
another next day)
Prairie Warbler (few sightings, and about on-time for some)
Black-and-white Warbler (increasing, and in multiple locations / parks)
American Redstart (increasing, and in many areas, including an occ. street tree 
situation in early mornings)
Worm-eating Warbler (several; and about on-time if not overdue, 3 locations, 
all found on Manhattan island)
Ovenbird (multiple, but not that many yet)
Northern Waterthrush (numerous and ongoing; in many areas including some well 
away from water)
Louisiana Waterthrush (scant as expected, but at least a few, including some 
well-photographed individuals)
Mourning Warbler (a nice Saturday sighting for many, with many photos also 
obtained - 8/15, in Central Park)
