Hi all, A wonderful morning in Central Park today. I tallied 20 species of warblers, including two FOY species: Canada warbler and Bay-breasted warbler. On top of that, the folks in our group had spectacular views of a Summer Tanager.
We found three "all-you-can-eat smorgasbords for birds" (aka hatch-outs). At one of them the star bird was a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, which was cooperative and provided a good opportunity to study this uncommon species. At the same location we also for a short moment had an Olive-sided Flycatcher (first for Central Park for my self). Lastly, but not to frown upon we saw a first-of-year Gray-cheeked Thrush. My check list for the morning ended at 73 species. Others, who have more free time today will surely have longer lists. 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/ --
