Saturday, Aug. 21st - While a majority of observers at Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City) continue to note & report one Prothonotary Warbler in areas where one had regularly been seen (starting from Aug. 11th), there are ongoing reports to 8/21 of at least two birds of this species, and at least a few reports noting more than two of them. In any event, the species is ongoing, in the Ramble, Lake shore areas of the park, with multiple observers - and photos (of a single brightly-plumaged individual) also again being placed in publicly-accessible archives. As noted before by many, one warbler can easily be moving about from location to location in any given day, esp. with the locations all being within 1/2 mile -& often much less- from each other (referring to these various sightings).
... While all will hopefully make safety their main concern of the coming storm (“Henri”), that storm may bring possibly-unusual birds over the next 48 or more hours! (which could include any fresh-water areas in the region, as well as even puddles of any size, and potentially in ‘odd’ locations where ordinarily not many birds normally are found. Please take care, for your own but also for everyone’s sake, in particular all of our first-responders! good birding to all, Tom Fiore N.Y.
