Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - On Saturday, April 27th a singing male Yellow-throated Warbler was continuing within the Ramble area of Central Park in same areas as for Friday. There were at least 18 additional warbler species in the same park for Saturday, 27th. More reports in due course for the good ongoing migration, which is occurring widely now.
A Little Blue Heron that had been in the Ramble - lakeshore - for Friday morning was seen to fly off by midday of Friday, high and perhaps exiting Manhattan completely by Friday. Those who came seeking that heron later in the day added to the observers of the above-noted warbler which many ultimately saw well, at various hours thru all of Friday, and still present for Saturday. ... Elsewhere in Manhattan and again going back to Friday 4-26, an adult male Blue Grosbeak that appears to be a bit injured or ill was again seen and well photographed in the areas it has been lingering, on the lower east side East Village area and sometimes in private property, where NO one should trespass for any reasons. That bird has been looked at in-situ by qualified rehabbers yet it is mobile and has continued to feed. Thanks to the many quiet and keen observers of many migrants and visiting or resident birds. good birding to all, Tom Fiore manhattan -- (copy & paste any URL below, then modify any text "_DOT_" to a period ".")
