[nysbirds-l] N.Y. County, NYC - 21 warbler spp., incl. in Central Park, and other birds
On Saturday, April 27th a minimum of 21 migratory American warbler species were seen in New York County, which includes Manhattan, Governors Island, and Randalls Island. All of those 21 warbler species were seen in Central Park on Saturday, collectively from hundreds of observers and all of the day from sunrise to end of day. Many species of migrants also were noted far more widely in dozens of other parks, greenspaces and other sites in the county. The least common here of those many warblers was the Yellow-throated Warbler at Central Park, which was viewed and often photographed by a total of far more than 100 observers for the one day on Saturday - and by yet others on Friday. A Pileated Woodpecker found on Governors Island was by-far the most unusual species seen in any part of the county on Saturday, with multiple reports in eBird for that and also many photos and some video. Within the county, the species has been most regular over many decades in spring, and most often, if seen at all, in the northernmost part of the county, ie the north end of Manhattan, where still a definite rarity in any year. More than 125 species of wild and native birds were seen in the county on Saturday 4-27, and at least 102 of those species were also observed in or passing over Central Park on the day. More to report on in due course with migration both helped and hindered by very active weather thru much of the eastern part of the country overnight. Good birding to all, Tom Fiore manhattan -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")
