Manhattan, N.Y. City - A male Yellow-throated Warbler seen by many on Friday 4/23 at Fort Tryon Park in northern Manhattan was not re-found there on Saturday, although certainly possible that it is still in the area.
... A male Kentucky Warbler continued at Central Park on Saturday 4/24, with many observers again. A Wilson’s Snipe was seen both Friday & Saturday, north of The Pond / Gapstow bridge, in Central Park, with many observers. Orchard Orioles were seen again, a few photographed in Central Park by Sat., 4/24. An overwintered Lincoln’s Sparrow has continued on in Central Park. In Central Park alone on Saturday (4/24) *at least* the following additional 14 warbler species were seen: Northern Parula Yellow Warbler Yellow-rumped [Myrtle] Warbler Black-throated Green Warbler Pine Warbler Prairie Warbler Palm Warbler Black-and-white Warbler American Redstart Worm-eating Warbler Ovenbird Northern Waterthrush Louisiana Waterthrush Common Yellowthroat Some arrivals have included Great Crested Flycatcher, Eastern Kingbird (multiple locations), Warbling Vireos (multiples in Central Park’s n. end since at least 4/23). Red-breasted Nuthatches were seen in a number of parks, indicating recent increases in their passage north again. Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were again found, including both males in spring plumage and some not, as well as some females. Broad-winged Hawks have been seen from several locations in manhattan, including perched for a while & photographed. All of the above species seen by multiple observers, many species photographed and for many, multiple birds of each species. The above a small fraction of the many migrants being found by many quiet, observant birders in N.Y. County with thanks to all.
