[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC - Memorial Day Monday 5/30 - Red-h. Woodpecker, 18 Warbler spp., & many other migrants
The YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER (a singing male) that had been discovered & reported (T. Olson) on SUNDAY, May 29th, and subsequently seen -& photogrpahed- by multiple others later that same day at Battery Park, lower Manhattan (NYC) was not being re-found as of the mid-day period, for Monday. However, it could well still be in that or another area of Manhattan. ___ Monday, Memorial Day - May 30th - Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City: Quite a good showing of migrants & resident (plus visitant) birds for this warming-up Memorial Day at Central Park. An adult RED-HEADED Woodpecker was lingering on in the Ramble area and both species of Cuckoo were present in the park, with (as is most-typical here) Yellow-billed the more-numerous, and Black-billed less-so. Yes, still a few Wood Ducks, as on so many previous days-weeks-months for Central. For all-American Warblers, all seen by multiple observers and many also photographed - at least 18 species were present (& of those, at least 15 spp. in the Ramble area alone, many also males that were singing, but including multiples of female birds which do not give song amongst warblers) - Ovenbird (multiple) Northern Waterthrush (multiple) Black-and-white Warbler Tennessee Warbler (multiple) Mourning Warbler (multiple - a male in the Central Park Ramble area was seen singing in very early morning.) Common Yellowthroat (multiple) American Redstart (multiple - the most-numerous of all the warbler species in Central Park now as well as for all of Manhattan) Northern Parula (multiple) Magnolia Warbler (multiple) Bay-breasted Warbler (more than one seen and of these, at least one male, perhaps a first-spring male) Blackburnian Warbler (several, incl. adult male seen singing) Yellow Warbler (multiple) Chestnut-sided Warbler (multiple) Blackpoll Warbler (multiple) Black-throated Blue Warbler (several, incl. adult male seen singing) Black-throated Green Warbler (3: adult male seen singing, as well as 2 females in separate locations - also N.B. this species being seen by others in OTHER Manhattan parks on the day, and also photographed, of which a bit more in a future all-county report.) Canada Warbler (multiple) Wilson’s Warbler Also found were at least the following flycatcher species all in the multiple: Great Crested Flycatchers, E. Kingbirds, E. Wood-Pewees, Acadian Flycatchers, Yellow-bellied Flycatchers, Willow Flycatchers and also "Traill’s-type” (i.e., either Willow or Alder but silent) Empidonax flycatchers, and a *putative* Olive-sided Flycatcher heard calling only in a location where no humans were seen playing devices, which is an unfortunate aspect of some areas in that park but luckily will be/is avoided on 98% of areas covered there as well as during many times and multiple days. Also noted on Monday were Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Buntings and at least 5 native sparrow species including Lincoln’s, Swamp, White-throated (multiple, but not very many), Chipping and Song Sparrows. Still some migrant thrush species about, however the most numerous on the day (all through all of Manhattan) are now Wood Thrush, which do attempt to nest in the larger parks and occasionally in odd other locations in the county. Some Gray-cheeked-types & Swainson’s Thrushes were also continuing in modest no’s., with some of those calling or singing at very early hour on Monday (those heard singing of the gray-cheeked-plumaged were indeed Gray-cheeked not bicknelli, in my own listenings). Plenty of other birds in addition to those mentioned above, including such rather-common breeders as Baltimore Orioles - and more-uncommon CP breeders such as Orchard Orioles. - - - - - There were a good many insects being seen, especially butterflies in diversity and some numbers, these also all 'round Manhattan on the day. More to be reported, for other areas besides ever-busy Central Park. Good birding to all, Tom Fiore manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
