[nysbirds-l] N.Y. County, NYC - Saturday, 9/4 - migration

[Thomas Fiore]

Just briefly, at least 23 warbler species were seen in the county (New York 
County, in N.Y. City), and of those, 22 species were found on 9/4 in Central 
Park, with many observers out all day long there.  Most species were found in 
low to modest numbers of individiuals, esp. as compared with the previous week 
or so.  An Olive-sided Flycatcher was photographed in the Ramble area of 
Central Park on Sat. morning.  An ebird checklist (with some notes) was 
included for the Olive-sided photo on 9/4:

On Governors Island, 2 Lesser Yellowlegs were reported, and other shorebirds 
around the county more generally included Solitary, Spotted, Least, & 
Semipalmated Sandpipers, as well as Killdeer.   Some great sightings of 
migrants also continue to come from smaller parks and greenspaces, in all parts 
of Manhattan.  Also in the 9/4 report (A. Barry) from Governors Island, of note 
were an arrival of more Field Sparrows, one of the species showing increases 
among that tribe of birds.

There has been a lot of nocturnal migration which included birds moving on, 
while of course more also continue to arrive, & some that may linger.

good birding to all,
