Thurs. - Friday, 23 & 24 April, 2015 Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City) Some additional sightings included Marsh Wren (at The Pond) as of Thursday. There was another influx of swallows, with at least 4 spp. including Bank Swallow flying at the reservoir on Thurs. mid-day but then by 4 pm the numbers were much reduced, & only a few of the more common spp. were seen. More birders again noted Scarlet Tanager (still a bit early for the species), as well as Wood Thrush, & as of Friday (today) a White-eyed Vireo turned up, and still a few Pine Siskin and a modest number of Purple Finches. Rusty Blackbirds were in at least 3 locations including 1 at the s. edge of the Pond late Thurs., as well as the Loch & by the Lake thru today, Friday. The overall numbers of migrants is still a bit low, not too surprising with the return to March-like weather. It looks as if the last sightings of the Bryant Park Chuck-will's had been last Sunday/19th, as no one has noted a sighting since then. good birding, Tom Fiore Manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES 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://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 4/23
Wednesday, 23 April, 2014 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City 60+ observers (or, many more) had excellent views of the male Cerulean Warbler being seen on the n.w. side of bow bridge, at the Ramble's s.w. corner; the very popular bird offering great views & "photo-op's" to anyone lingering more than a few minutes there. The Cerulean was associating with a modest flock of Yellow-rumped Warblers, a Pine Warbler, & a few other typical migrants, such as R.-c. Kinglets. If the Cerulean leaves that area, it might be wise to seek it in the Ramble area, in company again with some Yellow-rumped Warblers. To my knowledge, no one has seen the Cerulean singing, and in general, not a great deal of bird-song was coming forth in the morning's increasingly blustery-cool weather - with some exception, and good listening skill. Thanks to Miriam Rakowski for originally finding the Cerulean on Tuesday, & Kyu Lee for re-locating this today, & to Chris C. & anyone else who helped get word out to many more... this area & east a bit to The Point, about a 5-10 minute walk from Bow Bridge, seemed to offer some numbers, in what someone coming into some other section of the park might see as a rather blustery & 'not-so-many-birds-around' sort of day. The north end of the park from 6:15 thru 8 a.m. seemed overall a bit quiet for migrants, with the exceptions of the Loch, & an area in the north woods east of the Lily Ponds (which is basically dry at this time). Along with the male Prairie Warbler on the Point in the Ramble, another male Prairie was seen singing in this Lily Ponds north end location, as well as multiple Palm, some Yellow-rumped, a Pine or two, and Black-and-white Warbler [s]... at the Loch, a Louisiana Waterthrush & Black-and-white Warbler continued, & there were other migrants in that area; at the Pool on the south side (not far in from the W. 100 St. park entrance), a Yellow Warbler was quietly working the willow trees. A modest number of N. Rough-winged Swallows & Barn Swallows were over the Meer, and a few Ruddy Ducks remained. In general, it seemed to me that some of yesterday's push of sparrows was reduced today, although the White-throated Sparrows are in fine voice & numerous. The Hermit Thrush numbers continue to be fairly good, and were rather widely distributed around the park again. At the reservoir, many Double-crested Cormorants continued, & a somewhat reduced number of N. Shovelers, a few Buffleheads, & very few Ruddy Ducks continued. The gull flocks were just beginning to arrive (they typically do not stay overnight at the reservoir, & there are daily, & hourly comings & goings of gulls there) and in the hour before 9 a.m. I did not see other than the 3 most typical species all times of year (Ring-billed, "N. American" Herring, & Great Black- backed Gull). As the find of a modestly early Cerulean indicates, there just may be a few other uncommon-in-city migrants flitting about in some less- birded location. The Cerulean & a number of other currently-seen migrants are likely to persist in place another day or two, given current winds and weather. good birding, Tom Fiore Manhattan - On Apr 23, 2014, at 8:37 AM, Anders Peltomaa wrote: > A Cerulean Warbler has been refound this morning, now seen near Bow > Bridge. > > Below is the NYNYBIRD text alert from Chris Cooper: > > "cerulean refound by Kyu Lee at bow bridge." > > Bow Bridge is the bridge between the South end of the Ramble, > connecting to the South end of the Lake (rowboat lake) in Central > Park. > > Happy Birding, > > Anders Peltomaa > Manhattan > -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES 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://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
