[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, Central Park, NYC (Sat.-p.m., 4/9)
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - Saturday, April 9th, 6:30 p.m. - thanks to L. Beamer for the eBird report on the (brightly-plumaged) Prothonotary Warbler seen later in the day by the Central Park reservoir’s [north side of] running track (the path right around the reservoir); the warbler foraging along-near the shore there. This area (C.P. reservoir) has, over the many years, regularly been the site of some of the occurences of this species in N.Y. County. It is also very possible that this individual may make its’ way on to other sections of the same park (including parts of the n. end, of same park) or to farther-flung localities. Although the species has a clear, known affinity for being near water, it can also show at times in migration at places where less expected or “anticipated”. And of course, this species will sometimes ascend well-above the water-line areas in any particular location[s]. Also, it is at least possible more than one individual may turn up, as has happened multiple times, again over the years, for that Central Park NYC location. This would be at least the seventh warbler species for Saturday for N.Y. County, and the sixth of that day for Central Park. Also, as already noted the species had been making appearances elsewhere, notably in Queens County, N.Y. City and might well show in some other locations. good birds - quietly-observed, Tom Fiore manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, Central Park, NYC 8/16
Friday, 16th August, 2019 Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - A bright (apparent male) Prothonotary Warbler has been found (& photographed, by J. Suzuki) at The Pond, in Central Park’s southeast quadrant & corner. The sighting at least as first-discovered was around the waterfall feature, which is at the Pond’s west edge, nearer to the Sixth Ave. entrance to the park, north of Central Park South. This, to my knowledge, is the first of this species reported with documentation for the fall (2nd half of year) migration in New York County (for 2019). Be aware that with this species & at that location, it is possible an individual Prothonotary might move all about the waters’ edges, or interior woods nearby, & could at times be feeding or moving in fairly inaccessible areas; however, much of the Pond and its’ perimeter is visible from encircling paths, along with the usual many park-users of that area. In addition, at least 14 (perhaps more) species of other American warblers have been found in Central Park, thru all of the park for Friday 8/16. There are also some Empidonax flyctachers, all or most of which appear to be, or are (if heard) Willow, or “Willow-Alder-type, sometimes called Traill’s” Flyctachers, these, esp. Willow, being still the likeliest of migrant Empidonax for this mid-Aug. time-frame in this area. There’s a report of an Olive-sided Flycatcher as well, and many have been finding E. Kingbirds on the move, some in locations not adjacent to where they nested - including parts of Manhattan & the outlying isles & on watches for diurnal migrants, as that latter species often is. Various additional migrants have shown up & the migration movement region-wide over the past few days & nights has been good, whatever the local winds, rain-storms, etc. have brought in weather. Many, many migrants have been & still are moving steadily southbound, which means both departure of some - & fresh arrivals of ‘new’ birds in the region. Thanks to J. Suzuki for the special report, & to all who quietly observe & discover in our parks & greenspaces.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, Central Park, NYC Monday 4/22
Monday, 22 April, 2019 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City I discovered a male Prothonotary Warbler around 4:30 pm on a rather rainy afternoon, at The Pond in the southeastern corner of the park, seen by chance on a walk not really seeking birds (and no bins in hand); luckily, a few others could be alerted & with word getting out, a fair number of other birders got to see the Prothontary in the late hours of the day. It spent a good deal of time by the stone bridge at the N. side of the main pond, known as Gapstow bridge, and was feeding a lot near the water, occasionally into low branches near there, including near all 4 “corners” of this small stone arched foot bridge. The location is very near Fifth Avenue & about E. 61st Street, a bit west into the park from there, & is also a very popular tourist destination for sky-line photos & such. I was with Kristine Wallstrom who helped me get the word out, & also helped to get some photos with a pocket camera. As we departed, more birders were arriving. Hopefully, it may stay over a while, and give more seekers a chance to view. N.B., all of the pond edges & crannies could be checked, should the warbler not be in evidence on further search. - - (a p.s. on a bird-banding code used by me; I realized a few minutes late that a code for American Golden Plover is not normally AMGO - Mea culpa.) good luck, Tom Fiore manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

I'm probably going to get some hate mail for this comment, but is Central Park really the best place to be releasing rehab birds?
