- - - - - - Friday, 27 May, 2011 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City For my several hours of slow & quiet walking in the north end in the early morning, I found zero warblers (there), and precious few other migrants. However, at the reservoir's north side / bridle path was a singing Tennessee Warbler, and I heard reports that at least some other migrants of note were seen in the Ramble & near there, including Summer Tanager and Mourning Warbler. I did find some flycatchers again including a modest number of Empidonax, of which a few continue to vocalize, such as Yellow-bellied, Acadian, and Willow Flycatcher [s]. Riverside Park's "drip" is still not drippy lately, thus I saw no birds at all visiting that specific location in mid-afternoon. There were at least a few flycatchers present in Riverside though, in addition to very modest numbers of other more-common late-May migrants. A few Gray-cheeked Thrushes (or that type, at least) have showing in both parks. The only ones I've heard vocalize are Gray- cheeked, not Bicknell's. Good birding - and a safe sunny Memorial Day weekend to all, Tom Fiore, Manhattan -- 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/ --
