[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler, Central Park, NYC (p.m. locations, Thursday, 5/16)

[Thomas Fiore]

Thursday, 16 May, 2019 - 

The Swainson’s Warbler in the Ramble area of Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. 
City) had moved just a bit, essentially along the shore / vicinity of The Lake, 
traveling farther north from Bow Bridge, BUT has come back to closer to where 
first found in the morning: nearer to Bow Bridge on the path that goes directly 
(straight north, not to the left / east, if one is coming from Bow Bridge, into 
the Ramble from the SE (or non-wooded) side of that bridge.  Again, of course 
seek other birders & photographers who are likely to be in the vicinity.  And 
be patient, even if it is singing, or calling well, it can be quite difficult 
to see.  With patience and close attention, views may be had of this mostly (& 
typically) shy skulker.

good luck,

Tom Fiore

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler, Central Park, NYC (Thursday 5/16)

[Thomas Fiore]

Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City -
Thursday, 16 May, 2019

A SWAINSON'S WARBLER has been reported by Benjamin Van Doren on his personal 
twitter feed, with precisely these comments (quote): “Swainson’s Warbler seen 
and singing just north of Bow Bridge in the Ramble”.   That location is a 
famous bridge which connects the southern edge of the Ramble with paths leading 
east towards Bethesda Fountain, and west towards the s.w. corner of the Lake. 
This is roughly mid-park between east & west sides of the park, and roughly 
near about E. or W. 73rd Street in “latitude”.  The general area can be busy 
with tourists and etc. - please be courteous as many non-birders will be 
present at all times.  It’s not clear exactly how far ‘north’ of Bow Bridge in 
the Ramble this warbler was first found, but obviously, just look for other 
birders, & inquire.

Absolutely no playback, or playing of any recordings or other sound-making 
ought be done in the area of this bird. Additionally, and as posted in the 
park, any playing of amplified sounds without express written permission of the 
City of New York is prohibited by law. Please respect it.  We will be notifying 
the N.Y.P.D. and NYC Parks Enforcement as to the possibility of extra ‘traffic’ 
should this bird be re-found (and even if not, as many will be seeking it). 
Thanks to T. Healy for placing the above report [by B.Van Doren] on this list 
in good time!

In addition to this find, there are thousands of fresh migrants in Central Park 
alone this day, with already more than 25 species of other warblers found, 
including Kentucky (in the north woods), and a report of a Cerulean, etc. - 
many, many more thrushes, vireos, & other migrants have dropped in, ahead of, 
thru, &/or after the rains which fell overnight in the area.

A Philadelphia Vireo was at Hallett Sanctuary in the park’s southeast ‘corner’, 
seen early from outside the n.e. portion of the sanctuary, west of Gapstow 
bridge. All of the park has birds, and in many locations therein, many, many 
migrants.  A lot more in flyctachers, with Olive-sided Flycatcher in at least a 
few locally-known usual sites, and many more Empidonax [genus] flyctachers, 
some of them giving calls and even a few singing.  Both species of cuckoo are 
also present.  Further, EVENING Grosbeak, likely at least two individuals, were 
heard & one glimpsed in the Ramble quite early this morning; be attentive to 
calls, which may or may not be loud, or be from high in trees or in-flight in 
that area.

good birding,

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's WArbler direction

[Gus Keri]

If you are going by car to see the Swainson's Warbler at Prospect park this 
weekend, I will tell you what I have been doing for the past 4 years in going 
to this park without any problem and you can decide if it suits you.



Most of the time I park my car on the streets near the 16th St. entrance to the 
park. (South West side of the park). Parking is easy and it's very easy to get 
there (from the BQE to Prospect Expressway and then to 11th Ave). 

the only time I had a problem is when there is a marathon or half-marathon and 
some of the streets are closed. 



After entering the park, walk straight to the Center Drive. Don't go right or 
left, you will end up on the West Drive and this is not where you want to be.



Walk on the Center Drive, east-bound, for almost a quarter of a mile.

You will see a bunch of green containers lining the Drive on your left hand 
side.

Between (not before or after) these containers there are two paths take you to 
behind the containers (north of the Drive). You can take either one and you 
will enter the Midwood area immediately. Walk inside some 20-50 yards and that 
the area where the bird is located mostly. You will see people gathering and 
you won't miss them. 



Good luck in seeing or hearing the bird.

Gus

Please do not drive here if you can avoid it, especially on the weekend.  
Parking is difficult, traffic is congested, and it is easy to reach us by 
subway.  The closest subway station is Prospect Park on the B and Q trains 
(only Q runs on the weekend).  Stay towards the front of the train if you’re 
coming from Manhattan, turn right as you exit the station on Lincoln Rd. and 
you will see the park across Ocean Avenue.  The Midwood, current location of 
the warbler, is just to the right (north) once you get into the park.  Follow 
the East Drive until you meet Center Drive, the walk left (west).  
You can also take the F, G or 2 train, and walk through the park.  There are 
many maps around the park, along with PEPs and other park workers who can 
direct you.

If you’re coming this afternoon keep in mind that Ocean Avenue becomes two 
lanes of traffic southbound at 4PM, so no parking on that side.  There are 
always many events in the park on the weekend, especially Smorgasburg on 
Sunday, which brings lots of crowds and traffic.
Thank you.  Good luck getting the bird.  Last one was 1950.

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler persists in Prospect Park Mid Wood area circa 3PM Thursday

[Richard Fleming]

I am grateful to two gentlemen who were walking west on Center Drive for
steering me in the direction of the Prospect Park Swainson's warbler, which
persists in Mid Wood as of 3PM despite the unceasing rain. Walking East on
Center Drive, I took a left on the paved path that starts at the gap in the
long line of shipping containers. Very soon this crosses a dirt/wood-chip
path, but I continued on. I then took another right on the second (or is
the third?) such path, one which has a mighty fallen trunk running along
the first fifty feet of the path, along the right side. Near an area where
several paths cross, about 100 feet in along this trail, I had the
Swainson's twice, with about a half an hour passing in-between. Although
the gentlemen I had met said they had heard the bird singing "some eight
times in two hours," I did not hear it sing at all, over about 45 minutes.
Best of luck if you go, and may you have better weather. --Richard Fleming

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler Prospect Park

[Adrian Burke]

The Swainson's Warbler was seen about 30 minutes ago in same location as
before, foraging in the patch of woods where a large fallen tree lies right
next to a woodchip path. It showed briefly up close, but then vanished and
I haven't seen it again since. Not a lot of people around, except a shady
guy with a bike who did a lit of staring.

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler Prospect Park: Yes!!

[Elizabeth Dinapoli]

It's always a good day when you get to see a Swainson's Warbler. We made eye 
contact. He sang for me.  Still in the same spot as reported earlier.  This 
surely makes up for my "maybe it's a Golden-wingled Warbler" debacle yesterday 
at Bayard Cutting.

To add to Corey's note, and for those not doing bander's [ringer's]  
codes, the Swainson's Warbler present at the sw edges of Strawberry  
Fields in Central Park  (Manhattan, N.Y. City) on THURSDAY, had not  
been seen nor heard as of about 7:20 a.m. Friday, despite a lot of  
folks in that area, & beyond.

There are still plenty of other migrants in the park so it is  
plausible the rare warbler is still present somewhere - but unless  
singing, it can be exceedingly difficult to even know about that  
species precise whereabouts (& that is true even on prime breeding  
areas in the southern U.S.)

good luck & hope to hear of some other sightings in the park as well  
as (hopefully) the desired rare bird.

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler update, Central Park NYC 4/28

[Thomas Fiore]

Thursday, 28 April, 2016 - Central Park, Manhattan, New York City

the Swainson's WARBLER is still being seen & heard, thru 4:30 P.M.  
this afternoon at Strawberry Fields, nearest the West 72 Street park  
entrance, with multiple observers on-scene.  THE place to check is  
along the park drive (roadway) next to shrubberies at the south /  
southwest edge of Strawberry Fields site proper & this is immediately  
outside to the SW of the "Imagine" mosaic that is on the junction of  
main paths in the entry part of Strawberry Fields - assuming a park  
entry from the park entrance at West 72 St. - look for birders &  
photographers, some of whom may be prone "horizontal" at the edge of  
the park roadway at the warbler location.  It has not moved more than  
perhaps 10 yards at max. in all the hours of observations thus far,  
and has stayed in the fairly dense low shrubs, often feeding on the  
leaf-littered ground below, mainly in shade. It was starting to sing  
again by 3:30 - 4 p.m. & might do so a bit more as the evening goes  
along.


good luck (persistence may pay a dividend),

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler Manhattan NYC continues 4/28

[Thomas Fiore]

The Swainson's Warbler is continuing to be seen at nearly-noon, and  
possibly heard singing at intervals as well, in the area already  
described for this morning - at Strawberry Fields within Central Park  
(Manhattan, NYC) & nearest park entrance being West 72 Street &  
Central Park West.

Closest possible subway stop is a local-only "B" or "C" train at West  
72 St. & Central Park West, i.e. within yards of where the bird is  
being seen.  Transfer point is one stop away on those lines, at  
Columbus Circle (West 59 Street) station, which is a #1 train stop as  
well as for the "A" & "D" express trains - all of which stop at the  
latter. The West 72 St. stop on Central Park West is local-only, no  
express trains stop there.  (a farther-away express stop is also  
located at Broadway and West 72 Streeet, on the #2 and #3 train lines  
(as well as #1 local) but will take a fast walker 15 minutes or more  
to walk up from Broadway, east to Central Park.  There are also a  
number of bus lines that are in the immediate area, & even a few  
possible express-bus stops, for which I do not have any details.

Parking could be problematic as always in week-day mid-Manhattan.

[nysbirds-l] SWAINSON'S WARBLER, Central Park NYC 4/28 (Thursday)

[Thomas Fiore]

Thursday, 28 April, 2016 -

Central Park, Manhattan, New York City (in the Strawberry Fields area  
of the park) -


The SWAINSON'S WARBLER is & has been observed & well-photographed as  
well as video'd & audio'd by at least 150 (+) observers so far this  
morning at a well-known birding site within Central Park, which is  
easily reached from the West 72 Street entrance, and many have found  
viewing to be good (with some CAUTION as there is an active roadway  
with occasional vehicles & many passers-by) from a point roughly 50-75  
yards (meters) east down along the park roadway from the  
aforementioned park entrance, looking into low & dense barberry  
shrubberies that line the park road there, as well as forming the SW  
edge to the Strawberry Fields area.  Alternatively (and a safer place  
to stand) one may watch & listen - the warbler has been singing thru  
10:15 a.m. at intervals of every few minutes to as much as 5+ minutes  
between songs) from just within the Strawberry Fields location and  
just south-west of the "Imagine" mosaic tile that honors John Lennon  
and is found on the pathway into the western entry point to Strawberry  
Fields.


This among the most heavily-walked areas (esp. by tourists and  
visitors) of the entire Central Park, thus consideration of the  
general public is requested - and great care if going onto the roadway  
to observe, which many including myself have done - so far. all  
present have been very considerate, and many passers-by including a  
few in vehicles, have asked what the excitement is all about, & some  
of us have been explaining the rarity of the sighting.


The Swainson's Warbler was seen at least briefly earlier in the  
morning, out on a more-open perch, singing but has been behaving more  
typically of the species over the last 2+ hours, skulking & enjoying  
the shaded leaf-litter under the barberry shrubs & adjacent area on  
the southern - southwestern edges of the area (Strawberry Fields  
area).  It may take some patience & perhaps kneeling or even nearly- 
lying on ground or paved road to view the bird well, if it does not  
come out & sing as it had early in the day.


There have been 150+ observers, likely more, already and some have  
come some distance to enjoy the bird.


This may be about the 5th, perhaps 6th record, & is certain to be the  
most strongly documented of the records for this park. (the one prior  
record of the species in NYC that may have been even more potentially  
cooperative and viewable was the occurrence in Forest Park Queens  
County NY some years agom which was also stunningly early for that  
species in our region (far north of typical range).


good luck, & thanks to all including those who originally spotted &/or  
heard this warbler, recognizing it as a special sight.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler in Propect Park?

[Deborah Allen]

Michael,

Your bird is a Warbling Vireo, a common breeding bird in NY State and in local 
urban parks. It appears to be collecting nesting material. 

The bill and leg color, bluish-gray, are right for Warbling Vireo, but not for 
Swainson's Warbler. 

Swainson's Warbler is warm brown on the crown, eye line and auricular, back, 
wings, and tail. Your bird is neutral brown on the crown and brown with an 
olive wash on the back & wings. In addition Swainson's Warbler has a 
sharply-pointed bill and the crown is flattened, not rounded.
