Perhaps to be reported more fully by others in due course, one superstar shorebird of Long Island, NY - Charadrius hiaticula, the Common Ringed Plover, was continuing to be seen in the vicinity of Old Inlet's mudflats on Bellport Bay in southern Suffolk County, well west of Smith Point C.P. - thru Sunday morning, 8/27. __________ Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - Saturday and Sunday, August 26th and 27th -
Good flight occurred esp. for Saturday night into Sunday morning, with plenty of migrants that flew straight past Manhattan, and also some that landed. At Central Park, areas observers were in again included parts of the north end as well as the Ramble area, and also other parts of the park, some not as regularly-birded. Overall more than 90 species of birds (some being residents) were seen just in Central Park in these 2 days. And among many many other migrants found on both days in this park, have been at least 27 American Warbler species, including all of the following. Ovenbird (multiple) Worm-eating Warbler Northern Waterthrush (multiple) Blue-winged Warbler (multiple) Black-and-white Warbler (multiple) Tennessee Warbler (multiple) Nashville Warbler (multiple) Mourning Warbler Common Yellowthroat (multiple) Hooded Warbler (multiple) American Redstart (greatly increased again for Sunday, Aug. 27th) Cape May Warbler (multiple) Northern Parula (multiple) Magnolia Warbler (multiple) Bay-breasted Warbler (multiple) Blackburnian Warbler (multiple) Yellow Warbler (multiple, with some increase) Chestnut-sided Warbler (multiple) Blackpoll Warbler (multiple) Black-throated Blue Warbler (multiple) Palm Warbler (first of season, on Aug. 26th) Pine Warbler (multiple) [Myrtle] Yellow-rumped Warbler (multiple but not very many) Prairie Warbler (multiple) Black-throated Green Warbler (multiple) Canada Warbler (multiple) Wilsons Warbler (multiple) and possibly some others.
