Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City (just south of the C.P. reservoir) Good Friday, 19 April, 2019 -
An occasionally singing and calling Yellow-throated Warbler has been along the Central Park bridle path adjacent to the south side of the reservoir; about mid-way along the path, reasonably obvious as it moves about in nearly-bare trees. The Central Park (NYPD) Police Precinct station house is not far away, along the 86th Street Transverse. (The warbler has been immediately north of that in treees along the bridle path. An area where the species has turned up in other years in spring. This is at least the 4th Yellow-throated Warbler to appear in N.Y. City so far this spring, and presumed the first-of-spring for Manhattan & New York County. Otherwise a fair amount of migration took place over Thursday night, & some is ongoing Friday; also a lot of migrants went past Manhattan, & past NYC to points north, on generally fair skies & strong southerly winds overnight and into the daylight hours. good luck if you go, 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/ --
