Re:[nysbirds-l] Central Park Prothonotary Warbler - N End
Realized after posting that I had miss-spelled EJ's last name. It is Bartolazo, not Bartolato. (My apologies, EJ, and many thanks for sharing the sighting!) Also, Tom Perlman had a Prairie Warbler early this morning, in the woods west of the Blockhouse. I believe this would be a FOS report for Manhattan. It (or another individual) was subsequently seen and heard singing in other parts of the North Woods by other birders, though not by me.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler & more, Central Park, NYC - Sat., 4/16
Central Park, Manhattan (in N.Y. County), N.Y. City - Saturday, April 16th: A male Prothonotary Warbler showed at “the Pool” in Central Park’s n.-w. quadrant quite early on Saturday (it’s at least *slightly possible* this is one that was in that park for some days, lurking unnoticed since the prior - photographed - sighting days ago, at the C.P. reservoir, however this also may be a freshly-arrived individual.) - the Prothonotary was seen Saturday as well far to the east in *the Loch* (also sometimes called “the Ravine”) - as well as perhaps foraying to the Meer, which is east/northeast of the Loch, all in the northern parts of Central Park. Mostly seeming to like the Loch area as of mid-morning on Sat. MANY observers *quietly* tracking this bright bird in the morning, and likely will be all-day-long. Other new or very recent arrivals in Central Park just among the American Warblers include Black-throated Green Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Northern Parula, Ovenbirds, and ongoing ones include both species of Waterthrush, Black-and-white, Palm, Pine, and [Myrtle] Yellow-rumped Warbler[s]. Some of these in the southern reaches of the park on Sat. & also much activity at the perimters of the park, suggestive of a fairly good arrival in the county, even if (possibly) light on total numbers of birds. Indigo Bunting is also a notable at this early-date, and may be indicative of some other early-surprises. There are some *reports* coming in of a few other early-birds in the county. Purple Finches, Red-breasted Nuthatches (few of the latter), & a nice variety of sparrow species are among the many migrants on show at Central Park on Saturday. Far more to note, at a later time or date. Good birding on a partly-sunny & mild, cloudy-later Saturday. Thanks to the many quiet and courteous observers who are finding a good number of migrants and to K. Fung for the heads-up on this list, on this county’s Protho.- always a crowd-pleaser.
