The Swainson's Warbler is continuing to be seen at nearly-noon, and possibly heard singing at intervals as well, in the area already described for this morning - at Strawberry Fields within Central Park (Manhattan, NYC) & nearest park entrance being West 72 Street & Central Park West.
Closest possible subway stop is a local-only "B" or "C" train at West 72 St. & Central Park West, i.e. within yards of where the bird is being seen. Transfer point is one stop away on those lines, at Columbus Circle (West 59 Street) station, which is a #1 train stop as well as for the "A" & "D" express trains - all of which stop at the latter. The West 72 St. stop on Central Park West is local-only, no express trains stop there. (a farther-away express stop is also located at Broadway and West 72 Streeet, on the #2 and #3 train lines (as well as #1 local) but will take a fast walker 15 minutes or more to walk up from Broadway, east to Central Park. There are also a number of bus lines that are in the immediate area, & even a few possible express-bus stops, for which I do not have any details. Parking could be problematic as always in week-day mid-Manhattan.
