[nysbirds-l] this morning in Central Park
Anders Peltomaa and I birded Central Park from 7:00 until 10:30 this morning, from the Pinetum and Shakespeare Garden through the Ramble and Maintenance to the Oven and the Point (and back), Our experience conforms to Tim Healy's report from West End (Jones Beach), minus Dickcissel and flyover Bobolinks. Migrants were surprisingly sparse; we finished with only 6 species of warblers. Other sightings included several Swainson's Thrushes, Red-eyed Vireos, and Eastern Wood Pewees, and single White-throated Sparrow, Baltimore Oriole, House Wren, Great Crested Flycatcher, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, and Common Nighthawk (flyover). We arrived at Maintenance too late for most of the birds that had been seen by other observers, including 9 species of warblers.

[nysbirds-l] Sunday morning in Central Park
While the atmosphere was not the "break out " day of Saturday, there was enough to see and entertain oneself.Rose-breasted Grosbeak sitting pretty as a picture out in the open, Wilson's warbler and Canada warbler on the point and a very busy tulip tree that was a food feast for such warblers as Cape May (both male and female). As I was leaving, word was that a Morning warbler had just been found.
