Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City -
Palm Sunday, April 10th:
The Yellow-throated Warbler (first found on April 1st, by Paul Sweet
[A.M.N.H.]) has continued into a tenth day in Central Park, again showing at
the northeast portions of the Ramble there. Some other warblers found on Sunday
in Central were again, Louisiana Waterthrush, Palm, Pine, [Myrtle]
Yellow-rumped Warblers… (and out on Governors Island, in N.Y. County, a report
of Orange-crowned Warbler - around the playground by Leggett Plaza there, which
might well be one which had wintered there, along with some
Myrtle/Yellow-rumped Warblers. Thanks to Claudine, and Todd, for the latter
species sighting & report for Sun., 4/10.)
Again, many more Hermit Thrushes & Chipping Sparrows are among the various
species of spring, indicating recent arrival (even with a modest number of
those 2 species having wintered; we are now seeing easily ten times the numbers
of each, than had wintered in the county). Central Park alone had more than 80
Hermit Thrush on Sunday, 4/10 (one end of the park to the other). Very
modestly-more Palm Warblers, all noted rather well being of the ‘yellow’ form.
A very few migrant shorebirds have (again) stopped-in.
