http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18225236 Today's Swainson's Warbler was not, of course, the first record for Central Park, NYC. Here are the previous records with multiple observers: May 7, 2000 May 1, 1990 May 7-11, 1979 May 11, 1973 All of these records have appeared in the Kingbird. The Swainson's Warbler on May 7, 2000 was found by Ed Lam and Nick Wagerik. Many of you will also remember Arthur Swoger whose photo of the 1979 Swainson's Warbler appeared in Kingbird. An article in the Wilson Bulletin by Irwin Alperin about the first record of a Swainson's Warbler in Brooklyn on May 5-6, 1950 can be found here: https://sora.unm.edu/node/127163 Let's hope this little beauty sticks around for the weekend so even more people can enjoy it, Deborah Allen -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES 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://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
