Manhattan, N.Y. City - At Morningside Park in Manhattan, a brightly-plumaged Red-headed Woodpecker was ongoing for Wed., May 3rd, in same general areas it had been there on prior days of May - see report from 5/2, etc. - west side of the park, nearer 115th St. area…
At Central Park also in Manhattan, a Yellow-throated Warbler was ongoing (and occasionally singing, as in previous days) in the north end of that park for May 3rd, having been at the Loch and vicinity for some hours on Wed. There are many many other migrants about for Wed. as well, including ongoing Least Flycatcher[s], and a wide variety of other warbler spp. as well as many more migrant (and some breeding-resident) species. A very few Y.-b. Cuckoo sightings were coming in, while at least some additional numbers of certain migrant warbler species were growing a bit (in the county) such as Blackburnian, Magnolia, Chestnut-sided, and some other warblers. Interestingly, a few more Gray-cheeked Thrush reports are coming thru for other areas in N.Y. City and vicinity, after (or contemporaneous with) the one found in Central Park’s Ramble, this a bit early for an arrival of the species, by most prior-year’s spring phenologies. -- A nice showcase photo of the Central Park male Cerulean Warbler for Tuesday, May 2nd is archived in the Macaulay Library: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/566405611 Good birding to all, 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/ --
