[nysbirds-l] Central & Riverside Parks, NYC 8/24 - Prothonotary, Mourning, Cape May, Bay-breasted, Blackpoll Warblers, etc.

[Thomas Fiore]

Tuesday, Aug. 24th -

A single Prothonotary Warbler has made it through 2 full weeks, present in the 
Central Park Ramble area (Manhattan, N.Y. City) again on Tuesday, with multiple 
sightings for the day, including areas where one had been seen previously, at 
the n.w. part of the Lake, and in the Ramble not far from the Gill, or just 
north of there.

Fresh (or at least recent) arrivals included Mourning, Cape May, Bay-breasted, 
and Blackpoll Warblers, and at dusk, further arrival of Common Nighthawks 
moving near the Hudson river, as well as a bit to the east.   A minimum of 
two-dozen species of warblers were present between the 2 nearby parks - 
Riverside & Central, with as usual, the greater number of species seen at 
Central Park, by more observers there (and more hours of effort put in there).  
Migrants also continue to be detected from many other parks & greenspaces, by 
multiple observers in the county.

Other migrants showing small but clear upticks in numbers included 
Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Scarlet Tanager, and in just recent days, a 
reinvigoration of Empidonax [genus] flycatchers. The most regular 
shorebird-migrants in the county have been present: Least, Semipalmated, 
Spotted, & Solitary (last not as numerous) Sandpipers, along with small no’s. 
of Killdeer where the latter are regulars.  There has been some further raptor 
movement as well, including Bald Eagle and Osprey moving southwardly.

An addition to the sightings of Monday, 8/23 were 5 Mute Swans photographed 
flying (C. Quinn) past Randall’s Island (in N.Y. County).  It can be noted that 
the Lark Sparrow sighting from Central Park’s n. end on 8/21 corresponded with 
finds of that sparrow species in multiple states, and at least 2 other reports 
in eastern NYS at or near that date (one 8/24 in Suffolk Co., NY)  That sparrow 
has not been reported again from Central Park, or N.Y. County, but could 
potentially be lingering.

Below are the 24 warbler species present in Central (& some also Riverside) 
Park[s] on Aug. 24:

Prothonotary Warbler
Worm-eating Warbler
Ovenbird
Northern Waterthrush
Mourning Warbler
Common Yellowthroat
Hooded Warbler
Blue-winged Warbler
Tennessee Warbler
Northern Parula
Yellow Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Cape May Warbler
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler
Pine Warbler
Bay-breasted Warbler
Blackpoll Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
American Redstart
Wilson's Warbler
Canada Warbler

A much stronger overnight avian migration was occurring for Tuesday night into 
Wed. (25th), and which was very widespread regionally (and much farther 
beyond). 

...
Monarch butterflies continue on the move, and there have been (among multiple 
other ‘immigrant’ type butterflies), some Cloudless Sulphurs in multiple areas, 
with at least a bit of increase in recent days.

…
Seems worth a mention on this list that a Swallow-tailed Kite has been 
lingering, apparently for some (many?) days in Yates County, NY, with scores of 
observer-photographers and was present in that county again to 8/24.   Another 
species to note (from 8/20 however) in Kings County, N.Y. City was a 
photographed (H. Nove) Summer Tanager at Green-Wood Cemetery, a much-birded 
location in Brooklyn.

Good birding to all,

Tom Fiore
