Just very briefly, a minimum of 24 species of American warblers were seen, by many observers, throughout Manhattan (in N.Y. City) and of those two-dozen species at least 22 warbler spp. were found in Central Park on Monday, Sept. 20th, with at least 19 of those in the Ramble -& vicinity- with thanks to the many keen-eyed & patient observers out & about, through the day. Some of the species may be considered slightly ‘late’ by now, such as Blue-winged & Canada Warblers (both seen in the low-multiple). There also continue to be fairly high numbers & variety of species (including many other migrants) in the smaller parks & green-spaces of Manhattan as well as on the outlying-islands in N.Y. County in N.Y. City. A Blue Grosbeak was again seen and photo-documented on Governors Island, with a Dickcissel also at least being heard and possibly seen at times on Monday. Also, the Common Nighthawk ‘show' is not at all over, for the area and for Manhattan. It’s a 'sign of the season' too, that more Y.-b. Sapsuckers were found, even in small greenspaces, along with other starting-of-autumn sightings, around Manhattan.
