Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City Wednesday, 12 April, 2017 - A Yellow-throated Warbler was found in the Ramble section, along The Point, this morning, with an eBird submission that suggests the original observer: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S35893844 <http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S35893844> - & there have been subsequent sightings. The Point is on the Lake just west of the Boathouse Cafe, which itself is at the e. end of the lower part of the Lake (near it’s southeast-most point), and adjacent to approx. East 75th Street.
At least one additional new-for-year sighting, a Prairie Warbler was being enjoyed by many at the Loch (n. end of park), where in the same vicinity were a few other warblers, including bright Pine & Palms. Overall, it was apparent that further migration has occured overnight, with some birds also having moved on. One species much in evidence, park-wide, was E. Towhee with easily a dozen males seen. The Hermit Thrush push continues with fair numbers in most areas, except that not as many were in the far n. woods as on prior days. I noticed one [Red] Fox Sparrow west of Hallett Sanctuary, there may well be a few others of that species lingering or moving through in later-stage of their movement. House Wren continues, the first reported being yesterday/Tues., with the A.M.N.H. (American Museum of Natural History) group bird-walk having seen and noted it. Rusty Blackbirds are continuing or moving thru, but often shy as is typical. good birding, 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/ --
