Monday, 28 April, 2014 - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City As far as I'm aware the singing Yellow-throated Warbler found early this morning by Roger Pasquier was last seen in the vicinity described (below) as of about 8:20 a.m. or so & then was "lost" to both view and to hearing. It had been singing more than just occasionally, and was seen moving slightly in a west or northwest direction thru the trees, last perhaps in trees roughly 50 yards west of the main (wide) Mall pathway, or a good 150+ yards west of the Bandshell, which is on the east side of the northern part of the Mall. This area is south of the 72 Street east-west cross-drive on which vehicles cross the park (at hours when that is permitted). It may also be worth a look for this bird in the area near the "lower lobe" or south and southwest edges of The Lake, and really anywhere in that general vicinity. Unfortunately the Yellow-throated was not accompanied by other migrant warblers, at least not by 8 a.m. or so & those I asked about that, who'd seen it earlier, also said it was mostly or solely on its own when viewed (ie, NOT with Yellow-rumped or other warbler species). thanks to all who put the word out on this bird, and hoping it will still be re-located.
A sometimes singing Hooded Warbler was found - first at the hill just south of the boathouse cafe, then watched flying to the Point where a multitude of observers saw it, and then in various spots both sides of the Point & possibly further into the Ramble; this was being seen by 9 a.m. & later. at least 12, & perhaps more additional warbler species were noted from both the Ramble areas & the north end of the park before 11 a.m. - clearly more could be there yet to be sighted or reported-on widely. Also a good variety of other expected migrants, some perhaps first-of- season in the park. Good luck, Tom Fiore Manhattan _____________ On Apr 28, 2014, at 7:17 AM, Anders Peltomaa wrote Hi all, Forwarding a text alert from Chris Cooper.
